60% Vertebrates lost since 1970

Your attitude of "fuckit, panda bears aren't important and I'll never see one and I'll be dead before this matters so who cares anyway" is extremely negative, and although nobody is saying you're actually wrong, it's kind of a dickish thing to continue posting and you're being called on it.

So I'm not a troll, I'm just negative?

Which is it?
 
I didn't call you a troll. I pointed out that you're dropping back into a pattern of negative, cynical posting that you had previously stated you were going to try and move away from. Can't speak to the troll comments, I think that is an overused label.
 
You've been through this discussion on the exact topic of your posting habits with multiple people before and I don't think you've forgotten the discourse. Especially when you made a pledge before to rein it in a bit before. I'm not gonna rehash it all over again. Someone else might oblige you.

I'm not telling you how to post. I personally am not really bothered by it. Just pointing it out to you. You say what you say and you get the responses you get. You're aware of it and it's not the first time. Or the 2nd time. Or the 3rd.

Sorta acting like you don't know how this goes with the people you're talking to in threads seems a bit obtuse, man. :dunno

I was responding to the one who did call me a troll. And this is one thread, am I not allowed to have some non-mainstream comments once in a while? I'm fine for months and then I make a few jokes and I'm a negative troll.

You guys love jumping all ove rit.

I like turtles!

Does this look infected?

Tastes like it.

No, today it is not Taco Tuesday.

I'm trying to find the message here other than "I don't like what you have to say and will tell you to stop "trolling" rather than address your words". The OP didn't even have anything to say but a link and run.

Why are you bringing me into that?

I'm shocked, at the article. I wasn't aware of the extent - the number is quite sobering, especially since that is all within my lifespan. I'm disappointed in our species and even in our societal norms and how we treat each other. It's quite sad and even more so how we treat the planet.

But otherwise, I'm with you on your points. There's nothing I can do about it and I think it will be a fine poetic justice in the end. Mr. Smith had some good lines in The Matrix that I'm thinking of...
 
Not blaming you for anything, but you linked and ran other than a "Wake up!"

Anyway, I don't consider myself a troll and my person opinion is that these armchair moderators are more distracting via this side conversation than my negative comments.
 
I find people that use the word troll more obnoxious than whomever they're accusing. I mean I got tired of the same anti america comments, but why isn't HH allowed to be negative? So what if he doesn't like pandas.

Thank you. I haven't made an AA comment in months.

I think Pandas are fine but I am not going to suck their dicks because the media is obsessed with cute animals.
 
Ok so male pandas are out, but what about female pandas?

And there is no "the media" in this context, because they're just a mirror of the masses, so you're not going to blow male pandas because *people* think they're cute. And out of context media blaming makes me want to build some sort of vertical structure to keep them fuckin pandas out. Get the fuck out of my country you fucking pandas!

Did I imply that you blamed me? You were using me to divert attention away from you. What social faux pas did I commit?

Excuse my lack of commentary. I just thought the statistic (is that even a statistic?) alone was worth mentioning, because at least I've had my head in the sand. I knew the planet is being wiped out, but 60% of vertebrates dead and I'm still breathing? Jeebus! (edit: Wait a minute, and now that I think about it, what does that 60% even mean?)

I was going to say more, but I felt the second link kind of made it a moot point. You know I don't do a lot of this and I don't have particular agenda behind it. I'm sure you understand.

Anyway, I'm with officer bean.

And while it may not be taco Tuesday, you can still get a free taco, just maybe not the taco you want!

How could I not accept an apology from a Canadian who presents a 9-pointed leaf? Accepted!
 
I lost 60% of my interest in this thread after the apology.

Similar to spotted owl.

Now, let me just say that is a huge party foul Jordan.

You see, as a biologist, I used to spend a lot fo time on construction sites monitoring the bozos doing work to make sure they don't kill everything.

That joke is older than time and it's just dumb.

"I wonder what red legged frogs taste like"

"Har Har har"

At some point, I started responding "It tastes like dick, so I'm sure you'd love them."
 
My response is usually “how do you know what dick tastes like?” But that wouldn’t be in the theme of this discussion. ;)
