And "I'm the real victim here" is also a common tactic among serial abusers.

Oh, good. The Free Speech Brigade has added another verboten term. Noice!

Thanks, you did it again. Thought of a more palatable way to express what I'm thinking.

Dying to know what the word is.

Curious what about that poster's cognitive condition.

Sorry not sorry.

Most of us know that engaging with nonsense, serves only to add a modicum of respectability to the nonsense. So that's why we don't bother.

However, for some posters, letting their nonsense go unchallenged only encourages the posting of more nonsense.

I could always share another deep thought, if you'd prefer.

I don't ignore any posters, so if you post it I'll see it.

Aside to the thread that hasn't been created yet.

It is about a higher ed story highlighted by NYT. I'm surprised no one has discussed it yet. But it's gonna be the same old same old if it does get discussed here. Which is unfortunate, since it does raise interesting issues.

Which one? Do tell.

Don't look to me to start a discussion on something just because it needs discussing. I'm the designated DOA thread guy, the guy who asks people to discuss something out of interest and then gets pinned with the 'outrage' label. You've heard of the teflon president. I'm the velcro poster.

[Parasaurolophus]

I'm the velcro poster.

That's very true, actually. It's a clever label, well done! (To be clear, that's intended genuinely.)

I'm sure you think you were making a witty point but I'll be damned if I can tell what it was.

What a relief. Not me.

[FishProf]

No, of course not.
