    I appreciate their efforts, but if we want Lemmy to succeed as a network it needs to be something other than just another endless feed of mindless content.

    Flying Squid accused me of having psychosis because I disagreed with his views on religion. He’s done many other bad things. There’s no need to glorify someone just because they repost a lot of garbage. He doesn’t deserve any respect.

    PugJesus is cool though

          Seems like you were looking for trouble, and then you found it. Good job!

            We’re not talking about me. We’re talking about Flying Squid. Flying Squid calls people who don’t agree with his religious views psychotic. Nobody else in the thread was as big an ass as he was. He thinks mental disorders are an insult for him to use against people who disagree with him. And he has a record of breaking the rules on various communities, even ones he’s supposed to mod, in pursuit of his religious agenda. He chose to do that because he’s a bad person.

              FS said:

              I don’t know if you have psychosis, but you think reality isn’t real which is pretty much a basic definition of not being right in the head.

              You’re the one who decided you were being told you had psychosis, not him.

              One of the things you said before the link you so “cleverly” excluded earlier context from was:

              No, but most people do think of Reality as a god. But they don’t think He is a god. There’s an important distinction between thinking of one as something, and thinking one is something. One is conscious, the other is unconscious. People are perfectly capable of worshipping, praying to, and generally being religious towards someone they refuse to believe is a god.

              And yeah, reading down that whole thread, you were the one being a belligerent ass, accusing people of things, and generally not making any sense. There’s something not quite right with you, and medication could be part of a solution to that.

                I don’t know if you have psychosis

                That’s a lie. He said something he didn’t believe to cover his ass when he realised he’d done something wrong. Since then, he’s completely denied that that conversation even existed in the first place. He’s lied even more once he thought he could get away with it. I disagreed with his religious views, and he said “Please take your meds.” It’s a joke, and the punchline is that I’m crazy because I disagree with him. He backtracked it, and said he doesn’t know if I have psychosis, which is true, but he said it to support the lie that he never called me crazy. And as you can see in the other threads I linked, FS called me crazy because he thinks everyone who disagrees with his religious views is crazy. He broke the rules of his own community to say that people of other religions than his are suicidally deluded.

    I blocked PugJesus, fossilesque, Track_Shovel, and The_Picard_Maneuver. Lemmy is so much better now
