Jelqing has destroyed my life A warning.

Excuse me?

Yeah tons of injured people write to you only and never post here, I know.

Excuse me?

I haven’t called anyone any names. I said comparing an arm to a penis is something an utter imbecile would say. If you can explain to me how that is calling someone a “name” and not simply stating a fact I’ll happily apologise. If you can’t, I’d like you to take back or edit that post as I’m not showing any “intolerant behaviour” and accusing me of such is a slur on my reputation on here and discredits this thread. Thank-you.

You did it again. You are on three days hold.

Did you actually read my reply? It does not say we’ve never seen this kind of injury before, nor does it say you are an anomaly. It doesn’t even try to infer it.

I said, and am happy to repeat:

Would asking what exactly I did wrong there be deemed “intolerant behaviour”?

How this reads

Is it clear now?

I’m afraid it’s isn’t no. The intention was clearly not to call the poster an imbecile but to draw attention to how imbecilic comparing the penis to the arm sounds. Or do you not agree comparing the penis to the arm sounds imbecilic?

But whilst we’re “reading” into other member’s posts, how does this one from one of your moderators “read”?

Am I allowed to ask this without being banned, btw?

:rolling: :)

Oh come on; that is funny.

Excuse me?

Isn’t being banned what you are trying for? If you can get banned whilst also actively maintaining a victim stance, then it looks good, right?

I’ll explain further. With the written word, intent is gauged by the actual words you write and tone is often inferred. Using a words like imbecile will colour judgements of tone, quite rightly so. The intention seems clearly to call the poster an imbecile but also to add a slight mask, so that it is less direct. You might equate it to a Les Dawson mother-in-law joke like “I wouldn’t call my mother-in-law fat but when she passes her handbag from hand to hand she has to throw it”.

But you know this.

Marinera’s post is sarcastic and quite tough in tone. There are a lot of people reading this thread who think you are simply trolling. You don’t seem to be interested in discussing where you are now but rather more interested in the fight. To some extent that’s understandable if you feel people are ignoring your reported injury. It’s even more understandable as a trolling attempt. I would expect Marinera thinks you are trolling.

If you want to correct that perception, then I would suggest staying on topic as much as possible and ignoring posts that seem antagonistic. It makes the job of a moderator much easier if aggressive behaviour is coming from only one side.

A thoroughly fair and reasoned reply, Memento.

It doesn’t explain why Moderators (Marinera) are allowed to be sarcastic and all but say “you’re making this up” without rebuke but when I say “that’s something an imbecile would say” when someone compares the penis to the arm (in another attempt to discredit) I am warned. Then when I ask perfectly reasonably why I am being warned I am banned for three days. Could he have not just explained himself like you have just done so well?

Am I allowed to say your Mod selection process maybe needs looking at (without being banned)?

And once and for all can we stop this “trolling” insinuation please. What deranged individual (I’m calling myself deranged here, no ban) would spend nearly 5 years coming back here to irritate a few people who stretch their penises?

It reads that it is unlikely, inmy opinion, that there are many many people who posts at you only and don’t post publicly about having ruined their lives just doing few jelqs; they either are not reliable or don’t exists at all. It is the most rationale conclusion, IMHO. It sounds like you want to back up your argument with something that is not verifiable from an objective point of view and don’t add credibility to your posts.

Since you said that several times before, I know that it is a recurrent argument of yours, that’s why I said ‘I know’.

Let’s see:

OK, I understand what you are saying.

I rather like the Les Dawson analogy, which was also funny.

>It doesn’t explain why Moderators (Memento) are allowed to be sarcastic and all but say “you’re making this up” without rebuke<

I think Marinera discussed his reasoning. Moderators have a bigger role than simply taking part in the discussion.

>but when I say “that’s something an imbecile would say” when someone compares the penis to the arm (in another attempt to discredit) I am warned<

You were warned about your language. You can freely express your opinion but don’t call people imbecilic. We have a simple rule here, “Debate the idea, don’t attack the poster.” (from the Forum Guidelines ).

>Could he have not just explained himself like you have just done so well?<

The moderators vary in their style but he probably thought that it was too obvious to mention. I went through all the obvious stuff. I wouldn’t normally have to. Marinera is one of the most hard working mods we have here. It would be very hard to improve on him.

>And once and for all can we stop this “trolling” insinuation please. What deranged individual (I’m calling myself deranged here, no ban) would spend nearly 5 years coming back here to irritate a few people who stretch their penises?<

It’s not an insinuation at all, it’s a function of the responses in this thread. These last few posts will probably have helped convince more people that you are trolling. There are some very deranged people. Five years is a long time but we have trolls here who have come in under various guises for way longer.

As I say, if you want people to not think of you as a troll, then try to modify your approach. If someone PMs you to say they have a similar problem, suggest that they post in this thread. We are her to broaden our understanding of PE, so anything that does that will be welcome.
