    I once asked Nova about that and she said it's easier to just reply one at a time ever since her accident a few years ago instead of extra keystrokes to copy and paste multiple
    replies into one big ass post like she used to do in the past.

    Either way, ten posts of substance ≠ spam and FF can go cry into his chocolate milk with the rest of the Loser Incel table at school because his hero Trump lost.

    Multiquote is a good option if you're only replying to a couple of people but if it's more than that it's easier to read if each post is responded to individually. I have no problem with what Nova does.

    I didn't realize till today that if you just hit reply on the separate posts that they all end up in the same reply. Other boards I'm on have a specific multiquote feature to click on.

    But yeah, it is pretty pathetic that Ghost wanted to complain about someone giving actual responses to separate posts instead of just one longer response. And it's even more so that he felt the need to spam things up to show his lack of point.

    I've never gone along with the "FF is just a child" bullying (and that's what it is), but the childishness of this behavior forces me to say that he really isn't doing himself any favors. To not see the difference between Nova's substantive replies and just repeating "Right?" in one post after another requires either a staggering amount of intellectual dishonesty, or a level of understanding that corresponds to someone about six years old.

    A little advice, FF (or TGOCH, or whatever): people will be less inclined to make fun of you and pretend you are a child, if you refrain from doing blatantly childish things.

    @The Ghost of Crazy Horse does get bullied, there's no doubt about that. That being said if I had started this thread I'd expect much the same.

    Victim blame at it's most self effacing, but there you have it.

    The timing of this outburst does seem significant.

    A. From its inception, Wordforge has branded itself as a pretty rough-and-tumble place, with light but reasonable moderation. Nothing I've seen recently violates the rules, and in the past, when the rules were broken, the moderators acted. There's nothing as far as I can see to suggest the rules are not being enforced at all, or are being enforced unfairly If posters can't take the heat, they can stay out of the kitchen.

    B. I could be wrong, but the impression I got is that Ghost is literally a teenager.

    C. Ghost's behavior in this thread isn't some sort of anamolous form of childishness. It is but part of a long pattern that rightfully gets called out and mocked. It is not bullying a spade to call it a friggin' spade.

    Nova always quoted separately even when we had multi-quote option.

    Where is the multiquote option (if it is something separate from hitting reply on the multiple posts)?

    Last time I was here, there was something like a Dayton's Greatest Hits thread. It was full of choice quotes from one of the most important idiots in the history of TrekBBS and its spinoffs. I enjoyed it.

    This could be better. Not now, but someday.

    I’m not a Trump supporter and I didn’t vote for him. Stop perpetuating lies.

    Never said that you voted for him, and you certainly supported his efforts to oppose “socialism.”

    His inability to grasp nuance is why this thread exists.

    Well, that and his need to grasp himself.
