Oh, he reads all of them.

Do you really think so? I got the distinct impression he wasn't reading mine. Only in as much as he could write an opposition (rephrase: inflammatory response) to it.

I think he only wants people to hurl insults. Calling him names is what he likes most. Then, he only has to claim, "You liberals are always hurting my feelings with insults. Liberals bad." That way he doesn't have to confront his cognitive dissonance. "See what a good Christian I am? I am soooo persecuted, but look, my FAITH is as strong as ever. lalalalalalalala."

well, you're "dangerously" approaching the most severe punishment available on these forums: banishment to buckshot's personal, "The List!" D:

He will put you on ignore and never be able to see your posts. That's what we are talking about.

Thing is, he actually reads every post that he has on ignore (it basically creates a little spoiler tag for ignored posts that you can still choose to read if you click on it), as evidenced by every thread that he hijacks. And I think it is for the reasons you say: he has some mild narcissism that commands him to read everything written about him, however negative. Unlike others, though, he feigns sensitivity to perceived hurtful comments. A previous "legendary" member around here, who shall not be named, fed off of the insults for many years, and to great effect.

Dammit man, you know the rules
First, "The List™" is trademarked, secondly, please include dramatic chipmunk as it clearly defines the severity and importance of aforementioned 'List'

I see. I get the impression, I'm already on that list, then. I was really focused on trying to get him to see the inconsistencies at the core of his world view. I know those people. They are my family. They cannot abide the threat reality poses to the narrative they tell themselves and they will do all kinds of mental acrobatics to avoid it. I honestly believe that's why the world is so fucked up.

Haha, I didn't see that "view post" link until you said this. No, I do not read every post I have on ignore.

I bow out of the conversation and another page is written about me. Glad to see I'm in all of your heads so much.

Pavlov's dog has been dead for decades. Still, he was a model specimen. ;)

I am not threatened by the reality that Bruce is a man. Hilariously ironic that you say I can't deal with reality when you can't deal with the reality of Bruce's gender.

No, you aren't on the list, yet.

I suffer from no delusions about anyone's gender. A lack of denial does not an admission make. To think so, THAT is delusional.

Amazing delusion. I am warming up the list and making room....

OK, so you agree that Bruce is a man. Thank you.

Referring to a man as "her" and "she" is delusional and you've done it over and over.

People tend to discuss the cause of the terrible lingering smell in the room, even after the source is removed.

Nah, it's called "respect." You should look into it. It's a little advanced, only having been around for about 10,000 years. But, I'm an eternal optimist and I think with some hard work and effort, someday you'll be able to do it too.

Is referring to people as "nut jubs" a sign of respect? Hypocrite.

I call Bruce a name he was born with and I'm disrespectful and you refer to a large portion of the population as nut jobs. Simply amazing.

I thought respect is more about being honest to people, rather than simply being nice to their face about the things you call them, when you know those things are dishonest?

Honest question: is it fair to call the people that you have on your ignore list, "assholes?" Meaning, do you generally think of them as assholes?

Your reality isn't reality. Your opinion means nothing.

Bottom line, you're a huge hypocrite as well. Calling people idiots, nuts, and endless other insensitive things then complain that I refer to Bruce as Bruce. Stunning, simply stunning.

It's actually a pattern of great consistency when you realize that I and others are simply calling people by how they present themselves.

You will never see this from within your cozy little bubble, however.

Are the people on your shitlist assholes?
I don't have such a list. I have an ignored user list. I have put them there because I prefer to not interact with them further based on past interactions. Not because I think of them as A-holes.
