No. Spencer deserved it this time. Seriously. Fucking burn. Sorry u/thesixler but holy shit. Learn to focus your anger. Wow.

u/thesixler Jun 08 '18

Your anger however, perfectly applied?

u/Vancouver_prvinv Jun 08 '18

Dude. Fuck your whataboutism. This is a sub mostly full of people who support you and were upset you got verbally spanked like a redheaded stepchild by Dan.

And what do you do? Turn around and shit on the plebs because you can't take a stand with Dan.

Show some fucking humility. You're acting like an asshole.

Show some humility demands the stranger on the internet

That's a nice ad hom and a pretty weak parry. Yes you don't know me. Yes this is the Internet.

Guess that absolves you of taking any criticism. Enjoy.

You certainly have given me a reason to believe your intent to be good and not the noxious ejaculate of yet another dipshit

u/Vancouver_prvinv Jun 09 '18

Fun fact: you don't have to roleplay Sherlock Holmes with my intent. You can just address arguments I make. I know. It's nuts.

Treating alt right trolls with good faith is usually a mistake

u/Vancouver_prvinv Jun 09 '18

Alt right? Where the fuck did that come from? Try again. I'm pretty damn far from that.

Really tho. This is part of the reason you should address what people say instead of who you think they are.

You're not as good at inferring things as you seem to think.

Edit: also wtf? Addressing an argument instead of ad hom-ing isn't a question of either good faith or bad faith, you pretentious cunt.

I don’t owe you a lack of ad hominems and you’ve done nothing but prove me right from the jump. I’m not arguing with you because I have not put ‘changing my opinion’ up for offer. I’m openly and willingly hurling shit at you as punishment for perceived slights and feel perfectly justified in doing so. There’s no argument to address, just some fucking loser jacking off.

u/CaptainCanusa You're a great job Jun 09 '18

He's right. You're a mess right now.

Of course that isn't easy for you to hear, especially because you're right in the middle of it all right now, but it's true. You are not handling this in a healthy way.

This one goes into the ‘things that are so obvious that the fact you’re bringing it up as if you think it’s not completely clear speaks more about your intellect and understanding of the current situation than my own’ pile. I’m screaming and crying online and thank god for the faceless procession of redditors marching by saying ‘hey buddy, you’re crying, not a good look buddy.’

Thank you for your brilliant perception and not at all double digit IQ-level comprehension. I would have never spontaneously burst into tears in public if I ever had an inkling that it might REFLECT ON ME POORLY to strangers with no stake in my personal happiness. You have really added to the discourse and elevated the understandings of those involved. Your input matters!

u/CaptainCanusa You're a great job Jun 09 '18

Wait, so you know? You're doing it on purpose? That changes everything.

So I guess that's it then. You had a bit of tough time with a friend/boss and you're having a complete public meltdown over it. I thought it was more interesting than that.

Peace.

Yeah dude you think it’s not obvious to me that yelling at ‘fans’ online makes me look like a huge asshole? It’s super obvious. I’m not perfect and whenever I post on reddit it’s never a healthy choice. I try to reduce my exposure to reddit like I try to avoid breathing in exhaust fumes but when I choose to I’m already choking and coughing, I know it’s going to be ugly. It’s not my best hour but I’m not going to stop being myself just because I was treated like shit publicly and then dragged for it online and was trying to engage with the community despite being in such an unhealthy space. I knew doing that was a bad move and I’m still dealing with the fall out. I’m not going to apologoze for being myself or for being upset online, especially when the people who seem to want me to apologize all seem like vultures and the people here who I care about seem to understand my issues lately.

There's nothing to apologize for, man. There's barely any comparison between me and you, but I think I'm in a similar situation/relationship. I admire you for sticking to being yourself (even though I sometimes feel that "being yourself" is the most meaningless phrase ever) and I know it's the most difficult thing to explain to anyone who is not you. Pretending like everything is okay would be the easy way out.

I rarely comment on reddit (I agree that in general it is a toxic community and there's also the language barrier, since I'm not a native English speaker), but if I would it would look exactly like what you're doing here. I recently acted like an asshole to my real-life friends, because they wanted to give me advice on how to get out of my shitty situation, but there's actually no way for me to explain it and for them to comprehend the situation objectively. I was grateful that they care and try to help but I don't want their help if they're not capable of helping. Conflicting emotions are a bitch.

Hence, I have no advice to give, you don't fucking need that and you probably don't care anyway. Do what you think is good, that's what I basically want to say. I am a huge fan of you and harmontown in general and it made me realize that we're all flawed to various extent and must somehow deal with it.

It's because he is an asshole and people here should stop sucking his dick so much. All the redditor Harmon fanboys wish they were plucked from obscurity by their nerd messiah and given a position of power secretly wishing they were him and that they could have been him.
