idek you tbf

 

You seem pretty nice. Or maybe it's your adorable avatars that have deceived me!

 

But yeah, even though we don't talk, I think you're a good guy.

 

hello

 

I swear that I probably should be angry with you, because most of what I've seen from you has been in Debates. I think we disagree heavily on a lot of politics, but something about the way you present yourself is something I truly admire. Sometimes I wonder how can people can hold certain beliefs that otherwise seem like nonsense to me, and they act on those beliefs in a way that's just off-putting. And yet, you're actually pretty clever, and present yourself in a very respectable manner. Even if I'm not entirely sure we'd see eye to eye from a political standpoint, I appreciate how you stand by your views. 

 

Genuinely unsure what to expect.

 

To you and to everyone reading this, I think it's best if I give a "Before" and "After" here. I mostly want to cover the issues I had, and how I think you and I have been on much better terms.

 

The main problem I had with you was that I saw a lot of people who so desperately grabbed at power, and were absolutely certain of themselves that it seemed hopeless trying to reason with them. And in a lot of ways, I saw you the same way, though I realize now that I was conflating you with other people, because I was so used to a pattern, that I'd keep wondering someone might be different, and it always ended up the same way, that they'd show just how self-righteous and arrogant they were, that I didn't realize you are different. So sometimes it felt like you took issue not with what I was doing, but that I was doing it behind your back. That you had to give your own personal approval, and I thought that you treated people having autonomy as if they were going "rogue" and defying you.

 

I... I realize now how ridiculous it was to think all that. I've gone over some of those issues with you already, so I don't think I'm repeating much here. But since we've been talking lately, I realize that we're a lot alike, more than I probably would have been too proud to admit a year ago. You want to be someone who can make people happy. Sometimes I want to think of myself as believing in second chances, but I know I rarely, if ever, live up to that ideal. But you do. I think you want the best for people, no matter what.

 

You're a good man, and you want to bring out the best in people. I can't help but admire that.

 

Hi Pat. I'd love your honest thoughts.

 

I think we've been kind of hit and miss lately, but we're still good. We've both got our problems, but I would be remiss to warn you that part of why people were unhappy with me as a mod was because of how personal and publicly hostile I got with certain members, and being on the other side now, I worry that you might be going down the same path I did. So be careful with that. Don't slip the way I did. 

 

Greetings comrade.

 

Have you heard of "famous for being famous"? I feel like that describes you, where you're sort of this (in)famous member on this site, but it's not really something that comes down to one thing. I think people have noted when I've really chewed you out in the past, but I can't really bring myself to care. What's done is done. For a while it's felt like you've always been one of this site's favorite punching bags for one reason or another, as if people see you as a joke. I realize how mean that sounds, though. We've both drifted off into our own corners of this site, and I'm not sure what else to do but just keep rolling with it, but I think we've had enough distance that we could try for a fresh start.

 

Hola señor

 

Easily one of my favorite people on this entire site. You always seem to be a happy and optimistic guy, and you and Shradow have always kind of felt like "Those two guys" on this site, but in a good way. Like a dynamic duo, though I'm not sure why. And since Spider-Man is my favorite superhero (Though Nightwing is a very close second), I enjoy talking with you about our shared love for the character. You're a cool dude, and don't you ever change that.

 

Heyyyyyy

 

While I don't think we talked much until things really started going downhill for me, I've always appreciated when you've spoken up to support me, so thank you for that. You don't turn a blind eye to when I'm acting out of line, but you still try to encourage the best you can that I can still do better. I'm glad you have faith in me, and I hope not to let you done.

 

Do hina

If Hina wants me to, sure.

Since she tagged Black, I wasn't sure if she was asking for my opinion of her or for my opinion of Black.

 

I... wasn't shooting the messenger? Just clarifying why I hadn't answered earlier.

Idk, just a weird gimmick she does. She's done it on every other opinions thread too. Anyway, message delivered

Okay.

 

I think Hina prides herself too much on intellectual status, and sacrifices compassion. Pretty much the majority of my interactions with Hina for a while have been nothing but Hina being condescending and cruel, with giving maybe vague platitudes to pretend she cares about my personal improvement, but generally acts mocking and cruel. While I do want this thread to be an opportunity to reconcile with people, I think Hina is someone I'm comfortable writing off. I've wasted time asking myself what I could do that might redeem myself in Hina's view, but Hina is just callous no matter what I do, so it's really not the effort trying to improve myself for the sake of someone who is just going to treat me like garbage no matter what I try. The most frustrating thing is when she's aid I have a victim complex, because I suppose it's easier for her to lay the problem entirely at my feet than ever display any kind of sympathy for why I could be upset by how she acts.

 

I could stand to not be bothered so much by people like her, and I also think that it's not entirely on me to not be bothered. So I'd appreciate if Hina showed any interest in actually being kind rather than just insulting me and pushing me further down because I dared to feel upset by her insults.

Sup

 

I feel now's a perfect time to say this, considering the brief exchange we had in Debates earlier. That's been the section where I've interacted the most, and I think it's offered good insight into the kind of person you are, and we're pretty good. I think we largely agree on a lot of things, though I worry that might make us a "Yes Man" to each other. I guess I'd like some of our discussions to be a bit more varied and unpredictable?

 

I demand you apologize

Going to try and avoid repeating anything I might say in your Honest Opinions thread. There have been a couple times where you try to pass yourself as a good guy when people get to know you, and I just don't see that. I think a good guy wouldn't need to talk up what a "Nice Guy™" he is. It's self-congratulatory, and sometimes it's felt like you'd rather me just drop everything and open my eyes to what you swell guy you totally are, when really, I would much rather you put effort into being the good man you claim to be, rather than just saying you already are that and expecting other people to buy it wholesale.

 

If that hit any repeated talking points, feel free to let me know. I am trying to mix things up a bit here, because I think a lot of our interactions lately are just repeating the same arguments.

do me again

 

Most of what I've seen from you is just shitposting, so I can't really take much of what you say seriously.

 

I was wondering who bumped this. *gets in line"

 

I'm glad things seem to have mellowed out with you. You've always seemed pretty chill, so keep it up.

 

hello

 

I don't think anything changed but I'm too curious

 

It kind of goes really back and forth, so I'm afraid I don't have a fairly consistent opinion. I think we're doing okay, though.

I don't think much has changed. I kind of grasping for something to say here, but I think you're good at elaborating your thoughts succinctly. For a while I think I see either little comments that don't explain much, or a few paragraphs that… well, don't explain much either. It's a whole lot of words for so little. You're good at avoiding that, since you get right to the point.
