It happens online all the time. Obvious paid trolls and bootlickers will purposefully forum slide comments they don't like to derail consensus and stop people organizing.
Not everyone who disagrees with you is a paid troll or boot, nor is it an act of psychological warfare to tell you you're a dangerous idiot.
I recognise your username. Yesterday you were trying to persuade people to organise armed raids on US police stations and to kidnap and murder judges.
Lol here's one of the bootlickers ๐ And when I called him out on his lies and bullshit and stopped him forum sliding, he got mad. Big mad. He's here trying to cause trouble again spreading more bullshit hoping to cause a shitfight.
This is the kind of dumb psych warfare shit people do on the regular. I would hope he's at least smart enough to get paid for his trouble -- but the truth is people do get mad enough at you on the internet that they'll do dumb shit like follow you from forum to forum to harass you so they can win something.
Why people wouldn't think psych warfare is normal is weird to me.
I'm not a dude. There was no forum sliding, it was a bunch of comments under an article. And I didn't get mad, I just pointed out you were being incredibly suspicious.
You got very mad at me though, you wrote a long ass angry rant projecting all your mental illness on me and assumed a bunch of dumb shit to rile yourself up even more.
I'm blocking you now. Enjoy your armed raids and mass murder sprees.
