	How much red rep (or green for that matter) have you received without a comment?

None personally but plenty of people send rep without comment.

Sending rep isn’t necessarily trolling but trolls can use rep as a tool.

Your post in reply to Roegner really wasn’t very clear.

	Which shows how stupid the post Midfield replied to actually is, he's using chuff's illogical claim on his own posts. It's quite interesting to see personal attacks levied by the lefties in a thread lamenting personal attacks and other forms of aggression while they keep claiming victimhood. Yet, as Matty keeps claiming, they see themselves as the "good guys" which appears to justify anything and everything, that must be why he himself keeps red repping.

The “good guys” was a supposed insult tossed mockingly by one of the conservative posters on a thread around a year ago - claiming that mods never harassed liberals and other good guys. I thought it ironic. Thanks for making that point again.

Was? Don't complain if you're taken seriously.

On second thought, you're right, you can't be taken seriously.

Yes. It “was” tossed at me by a conservative poster. I adopted it as a signature or motto or whatever. Sorry if it wasn’t clear enough for “you.”

Is that people who are left-handed, or what?

I'm not sure you can tell someone's political stance from many of these threads.

You do appreciate that morality isn't the same thing as politics?

Here is the post in question for anyone who wants to see the facts instead of your interpretation. It was a fairly harmless post, but you chose to feel insulted and have been ever since.

a bit off topic but in my experience this sums up about 80% of the instances ive seen of people claiming "bullying".

Happy New Year to everyone. I'm sure the horse comes to life after 10 more pages of "discussion" in this thread, so keep up the good work

Come on. We are all in post-holiday post-Raclette heartburn mood and need a bit of armchair drama.

[NotAllThere]

It's an irregular verb

I am gently taking the piss
You are trolling
S/he is a mod and out to get me

	The OP complains about bullying after not having posted for a year and all their posts seem to be harmless car stuff. And for some reason, others feel they need to join in the complaining what a bad place this here is. And who thinks that getting groaned at or some red rep is bullying apparently has never been on a schoolyard. Some people need to take a deep breath and not everything so seriously.

For most of us the school yard was long ago and better left there.

Probably a good time for us to switch to another thread with an inoffensive topic.

True. I feel like I need to open a detox and fasting thread after the last 10 days.

Although we don't really need to lose weight (I mean...we can be better off with some 5kg less, but we're in decent shape) my wife and I decided we'll be replacing dinner, normally a hot meal, for letter soup for the next few days. Yeah...holidays meals were...plentiful.

Getting a virus from your hubby does the same trick…… yours sounds better though. Soup is nice!

Letter soup - do you have the recipe for that? Sounds interesting.

So Matty has been banned now?

[JackieH]

Yep, just unbelievable. Proves the point of the OP, surely.

Unfortunately, only for one day.

I have to keep him on ignore to keep from over-groaning him.

Why was MattyRedSox banned?
