what is the most annoying posting practice on Apolyton

You did, bastard.
Nope, you did. I never mentioned anything about persecuting jews -- you somehow wove that into this thread. It's a perfect example.

This, is pop psychology.
Not at all, it's clear-as-day fact. There's no analysis required. You deny doing it intentionally, so there's only one other reason for it.

Look, LOTM...all of the backpedaling and excuses you throw out here don't change the fact that your actions speak louder than your words. I've no problem with jewish people at all (insert cliche about having many jewish friends), but the simple fact is you have a phenomenal rate of bringing up Judaism in some respect in many of the threads you post in where it's not relevant. You twist it to somehow make it tangentially relevant, and that's pretty obnoxious over time.
If you dont like it, don't read my posts, or do say in those threads that you feel what i've posted is not relevant. Don't bring it up where its not relevant.
Of course theres this
"You twist it to somehow make it tangentially relevant"
IE maybe you feel you CAN'T make the case that its irrelevant, so you hammer and bully wherever you can instead. Thats what bullies do.

I responded honestly to what you asked me about why I posted what I did. I did not bring the subject up in this thread, you did.

No. I brought up the fact that you try to make everything about jewish people and culture.
The fact that you seem to equate that with historical jewish persecution is quite telling, really. And you did bring that up.
This is the kind of **** you do all the time, and you've no clue you do it. Even when people tell you.

It's always irrelevant. Take your **** about talking about historical jewish persecution in a thread about posting styles for instance...

Ok folks, tell me, how do you deal with someone who twists things like this? Just ignore him? What if some folks are influenced by his lies and twistings?

No one brought up jewish persecution. That was all you. And it was irrelevant.
You're so used to making everything about jewish people and jewish culture that you don't even know you do it. It's hilarious. There's no twisting going on here, except from you.

Xenophobia is certainly a very harsh word in this context, and it is possible that Koyaanisqatsi's alternative is the one that Asher may have preferred to use had he thought of it at the time.
FWIW, I generally appreciate LotM's contributions on Jewish history and culture, and if I think a post of his is tangential I can always skip it. It doesn't feel too good to be accused of one-trick-ponyism, especially if it is untrue. I've been accused of it myself by a couple of posters on this thread - albeit on different subjects, and I do feel inhibited some respects because of it. Perhaps they didn't mean it.
A bit of good natured banter and sparring is fun, but it's not always easy to define the line where it crosses into something else. When it turns into outright bullying it becomes ugly. Humourous teasing is one thing - insulting abuse is something else.

If LOTM isn't a one-trick pony, I don't know what is. What else does he talk about?

as a matter of record, while I dont always agree with CH, I dont think he is a "one trick pony" as he posts on many topics, and when he does post on certain issues he brings a valuable perspective. If I dont want to see that perspective I ignore it. He is definitely a "poly positive" poster.

Can the blowjobs be kept to PM? There's no need for this in public.
