@hkkmr Warning about this post (Ashton's)

Seriously dude?

What do you expect from a pale cauliflower asian? Apparently he and his army of stupid mods have nothing better to do.

Wanna bet this post gets a warning?

I'm very serious about this. I let people get away with a lot of things here, but don't use slurs willy nilly here on my forum. Some people have enough artistic license to use it occasionally(B&D) or to make a point, but don't use it in a derogatory or frivolous fashion.

I have no problem banning people for a week, a month, a indefinite period of time for this. Please respect that people of all races, creed, background interact here and some will be ok and others will be offended by slurs and derogatory language.

Just don't do it if you're not sure whether or not it will offend someone.

I just think its silly how selectively they police shit around here. Its like they don't actually go out of their way to enforce the rules, but just enforce the violations they happen to stumble upon.

That's pretty much how it works, unless people report it. That's how the world works. Do you really want me to make automated filters to police this place, because I can?

I didn't think so...

No, but if you aren't going to do it right, why fucking bother? You just make the people you actually DO punish feel like they are done an injustice, being singled out. It's not like we're kids trying to sneak around your parental supervision, or is that really all you want? Plausible deniability? Really?

That's a pointless question, I maintain and administrate this forum, it's my role to do this and I do the best job I can, but I am not here to please everyone. You might not agree with how I operate this forum.

People who are punished have committed many offenses, once you've gotten a warning and in some case multiple warnings and infractions for months and years. You're on probation and parole, it's not exactly a clean slate.

I can't please everyone, especially not people that are moderated here on this forum, and it's not for their sake that they're punished. I do wish there is some level of corrective influence, but it's not assumed.

What do you do when you're dealing with someone who, say, considers public displays of affection to be disrespectful, or believes it's wrong to question authority, or that same-sex marriage is immoral and against God, or merely decides they are personally offended by your choice of wardrobe?

I will try to talk them with it if I think I can change their hearts. But a lot of times when I do this, they will get overly clingy like 'God cares for the homosexual' and they won't leave me alone. I realize it's not exactly the highest ideal to have a guy pounding my asshole, but it feels good and it pleases my physical senses. It can be bad or good depending on who does it like anything else. Homosexuality just is, just a pill you have to suck and swallow. Do you know how frustrating it is to meet a really hot and attractive guy but he's straight and won't fuck me. Or he fucks me really good and then doesn't admit he's gay and won't be in a relationship. All of this because some old ladies want to judge me too harshy. =/

The most surprising offenders are straight females. I don't understand. You're a straight girl. You know how attractive men can be!

lol I readily admit I can be such a cunt with my art. It's not very nice of me to make so many jew or ****** jokes, or even str8/gay stuff- but I find it hilarious and I can't stop. I have went overboard and came across like a really asshole. I have Gilly's bite to me but in a more introverted/watery way. But then again you see youtube videos of me singing fefe dobson songs in the most faggiest voice possible and ppl think I am the most precious thing. =)

lol we all have these issues. (well okay so I don't know for sure. I've never wanted someone to fuck me who refused, but it might happen at some point, or to other people.)

I was pestered into doing this test here, as linked:

http://glennrowe.net/BaronCohen/Empa...yQuotient.aspx

I want to know what score you get. And I want to know how you think empathy may figure into socionics.

Mine was 56. A little bit higher than average. Now a friend of mine wants me to question whether I could be an IEE (unlikely) based on this. But empathy happens on a different (lower) level right?

Please forgive my possible incoherence, I am currently intoxicated.

Your score: 19

Your score: 19

did someone secretly pass a laptop in that cage so you could take the test?

I love how you are ultimately reduced to the same rationale I used when I owned the forum, and are essentially using the same system, only with a mask of corporate-esque "professionalism" (ie you talk like a robot) that you feel makes you more "legitimate." You do what you want, when you want, and TO WHOM you want. Drop the fucking pretense already, old yeller.

I tend to be more openly empathetic towards animals than people because it's easier (and I'm usually aware that they know how I feel and so I cannot really hide anything). I'm also more openly empathetic when watching something alone than with people. I often am thinking more about myself than others. I feel upset if others are upset but I want to leave because I don't know how to fix it. I'm also more openly empathetic sometimes when I'm drunk.

I scored 5.

"I am at my best first thing in the morning"

DOES THAT ADD TO MY EMPATHY OR DETRACT??

Anyway, I always get terrible results on these tests. So dumb. I don't think I'm terribly maladjusted. But I got a 9.

congratulations! looking at some of the high scores in this thread you are the only ones keeping this planet from spinning out of control and flying the fuck out of this system from all these empathic abilities making it go round

I wonder how we'd all do in an objective test that wasn't purely based on self-reporting - it would be interesting to see who's actually empathetic, and who just has an inflated sense of their own empathetic abilities...

that's why I think these kinds of tests are largely useless because they mirror how the person wants to see themselves and/or wants to be seen, and depending on the individual involved there may be very little accuracy to the results

I think that's generally true in isolation but people's opinions are also highly influenced by what other people tell them they are like, e.g. a person who is told "you're a great listener" would likely rate themselves highly on being a great listener, etc.

Maybe it's the same reason that ENTP ILE 7w8s tend to be internet trolls... Aspergers<20... Troll<10.
