What Zero Could've Been

Aveyond's just as much a troll as Senti and AwesomeJr. They're just honest about it.

Right. The people you disagree with are trolls, but the people you agree with are genuine posters. What happened to the old MightyMollusk? The poster who made genuinely thought-out posts and didn't treat one side with more favor than the other? I used to enjoy reading your posts, now they're just drivel.

It's less to do with "agree or disagree" and more to do with his habit of making "controversial" or "hot take" topics and then endlessly repeating himself, often outright stating that he just isn't listening or won't engage with people who disagree with him. The presentation, rather than the message, as it were.

Age, mounting burnout, increasing cynicism, probably some untreated depression. I could go on, but nobody really wants me to play armchair self-diagnosis. It's also kinda hard to come up with interesting posts when every thread starts to sound pretty much exactly the same.

You said it means nothing, but yet continue to use it, and to describe people.

What you are seeing is straight out of Orwell's Principles of Newspeak, the appendix to 1984.
By inventing words (or redefining existing words) to have no meaning, the words can mean whatever the speaker want, including having a different meaning later as convenience demands. "Troll," "fascist," "hate," "racist," and even a word as basic as "woman" are all suffering from this treatment these days, among others.

So? He is literally NOT being silenced.

True, but that doesn't mean people aren't trying to get him silenced, such as by provoking him in the hope he will respond with something that will get him suspended to banned.

Later:

recently there has been a push for a new definition of the word 'hate'. This definition was pushed by both the Lyth defense squad and Silverbane herself. The definition they choose to create essentially was this: "A hater is anyone who disagrees with me, or disagrees with what I'm doing"..

This is, of course, an outright lie, as I've come to expect from SentioftheHoukai's fellow forum stalker AwesomeJr44. As far as I know, the only one who ever has promulgated that definition is AwesomeJr44, as a text search of the forums would no doubt demonstrate -- should anyone give AwesomeJr4 that tiny bit of credibility that would justify making such a search. I won't hold my breath.

I consider you a hater, AwesomeJr44, because you exhibit hatred, fullstop.
Your outright and provable lies about what other people have posted is one of those exhibits.

...........still literally doesn't answer the question.

Thats....silly
The only reason Aveyond would get himself Suspended or Banned is his own doing. Looking at how he words his posts, I have extreme doubt he would ever say anything that would get himself in trouble, much less anybody could get him to. If he is able to skirt around and ignore questions...heck outright block and hide questions (if that what the ignore button really does) nobody is gonna make him do anything.

I'll defer to you on this with regard to Aveyond, but other people may not have recognized his cleverness in this regard.

However, I respectfully submit that trying to provoke people into getting themselves banned is a tactic that sometimes works, and some of the posters in this forum seem to have nothing better to do with their time and 20-post daily limit.
