The saddest thing I've ever read.

You have a history of being rude in here, so you really shouldn't cry now. Very poor form.

There's a difference in taking jabs calling someone an MTV damaged whore when they're barraged by compliments for exposing their cleavage, and being completely void of empathy, rolling your eyes to a fellow human being going through a tough time of his life.

I tease my girlfriend all the time, and I can quite crude to some of my friends too. But I don't do that when they're vulnerable. I know better than that.

Your friend's not reading this though, so who cares, he's ignorant to the negative comments that may or may not be in here, unless you intend on being a dick and telling him what others said.

Great, you know them and they know you, there's a difference between calling your girlfriend a fatty and someone who doesn't know you online.

Your argument boils down to: "wah, it's not okay when it's someone I care about." As I said, very poor form; grow up.

No. My argument boils down to: There's a difference in hitting someone when they're up, and kicking them while they're lying down.

I don't know this guy more than I know dadudemon, we've met in a online game a few years back and we've exchanged a few rows over the course of a few years. I've never met him face to face. If dadudemon got dumped I'd support him too.

This is hilarious.

And yet, talking smack on an internet forum that the guy doesn't even know exists is not "kicking him while he's down". If he had made this thread and was reading these comments, then it would be. The fact that you're incapable of understanding that is a sign of your social awkwardness.

Am I the only one that thinks this story is funny?

social awkwardness.

My impression of every Astner post.

no, it is pretty laugh worthy

No, that would be a strawman. That's neither stated nor implied in my post.

you really like this word, "strawman". i suggest learning what it means.

Because you said this, that automatically means you do not know what a "strawman" argument actually is. I have seen this a lot on KMC, actually. Please go look up what that means. If your ego is not too big, you should then apologize to me.

I've had drunk guys try to start shit with me at bars before, and never gotten in a fight by ignoring them or avoiding them.

I think I have told you this before but you have been very lucky not to get your ass kicked beyond recognition. One of the stupidest things you can do is ignore someone when they are "stepping up". That just infuriates people beacuse it makes you seem like you are so far above them as to not acknowledge them (might be the difference between an American club and a Canadian one).

However, you also told me a story of when you actually had to fight back because you feared your life. I do not consider you aggressive/bad for having done that.

If your answer is to start pushing them, you have nothing to complain about when you get ktfo, and I'd call you aggressive.

Thing is...you should apologize profusely if you don't want to fight. You should definitely not ignore. If you are tired of someone being in your face and pushing you, sucker punch and move on. Nothing wrong with: sucker punching aggressive douchebags that will not stop pushing you down OR apologizing profusely. Both those options are fine, to me.

I do believe you know me better than most KMC members.

But, wow, thanks man! 😄

I would kick DDD when he's down.

Yes, there is a difference between the two scenarios you've listed; nothing of the sort is happening here though. So all you're doing is crying cos you've made this story involve you/you're invested in it, when you'd have no problem being as ass online to others (as you have in the past) when you're not invested in the person. Poor form, still.

Yeah, read above, you're a odd, odd, odd, odd person. It's worse that you barely know this guy besides the fact that he'll never read any of the comments you've deemed negative and you're for some reason upset over it. What happens if someone insults someone you actually are close to and care about? Do you implode into a singularity of tears and rage? Relax.

That's not very aggressive, at all. It would appear that the gent was just responding to being physically accosted. Was he not pushed first? I would say his reaction was quite calm.
yea, he was just trying not to get emasculated. but maybe the problem was that he pushed the guy back rather than attacking him outright.

I believe it is used to describe a sort of mannequin made of straw to frighten away pests from one's crops.

That's a great idea...don't even give people a chance to fight back. 🙂

im happy that you are finally exploring the perils of fallacious comments in a discussion and hope you one day find the humility to apply it to your own statements. for instance, this:

Originally posted by dadudemon

...is a false dilemma.

anyway, by declaring that you needed the other side of the story, that left only 2 possible implications:

1-her cheating may have been justified/cheating can sometimes be justified.
2-the story was a lie or contained some fabrication/she did not cheat at all.

granted he jumped the gun and assumed you took position 1. however this is not strawman.

strawman is the fallacy of misrepresenting one's position in order to create an effigy. its done in order to sell others on your own position.

you just want to apply it to each and every misunderstanding or misinterpreting of someone's statement or position. (which you seem never able to express without surrounding it in an essay of wild irrelevancy that few bother to translate). you use it so broadly and inappropriately that a conversation can go like this:

ddm: man i stubbed my toe this morning
me: well, you should look where you're walking.
ddm: STRAWMAN!!! i wasnt walking. a book landed on my foot.

...what? 😂

In order for something to be a fallacy it has to be used as an argument. That's not an argument, that's shit talking.

Maybe this "friend" is closer to Astner than he lets on.

Considering what he just claimed about barely knowing this person and this person sharing this type of sensitive info with him, it highly possible you're correct; that the protagonist in the story is indeed Astner and his GF left him for a better looking fighter who isn't invading her privacy with spyware.
