does all that count as off topic complaints
Nope, but let’s separate the off-topic from on-topic.
In your mind can someone disagree with Cory,
In my mind?
Er, yes. “In my mind” I certainly think someone can and should disagree with Cory ON THE TOPIC and express it within the threads. If Cory says that bananas are a radioactive health hazard, then please do go on to explain how wrong he is on the topic of bananas as a radioactive health hazard.
If you utilized good faith towards the mental faculties of myself and others you really wouldn’t ask such a ridiculous question (twice). But, then again, maybe you were just being passive-aggressive and utilizing that as a rhetorical question, I dunno.
point out his link bait
It’s only your opinion (or, “in your mind”) that he produces “linkbait” or “clickbait”. It’s not a statement of fact as you’re attempting to present it and the discussion is not on-topic in a banana thread. You’ve derailed the banana topic at that point to be about whether or not Cory is a clickbait artist.
In other words, if the topic is about bananas, it’s about fucking bananas. It’s not about whether or not Cory is a goddam clickbait artist. If people think Cory’s posts are mere clickbait, they will make up their own minds and stop falling for it and fuck his bananas.
Do you honestly think you need to repeatedly, mansplain pompously explain to everyone else who reads Boing Boing what’s clickbait or not?
If he’s truly a clickbait artist, all of his posts would suffer from a lack of readership. That is, of course, if you utilize good faith in most of the Boing Boing readership instead of perhaps likening them to dumb sheep that never learn and don’t know repeated, banana clickbait when they see it.
Discussions of whether or not he produces produces “linkbait” or “clickbait” is off-topic and should be reserved for this thread or create your own threads on the topic and hash it out there.
If it ain’t about bananas in a banana thread, it’s off-topic.
deceptively phrased headlines
Once again, it’s only your opinion (or, “in your mind”) that he’s being purposefully deceptive. Discussions of whether or not he is a deceptive person is off-topic and should be reserved for this thread or create your own threads on the topic.
If it ain’t about bananas in a banana thread, it’s off-topic. If it’s about a headline style in a banana thread, it’s off-topic.
or when he’s simply wrong
If you utilized good faith towards the mental faculties of myself and others you really wouldn’t ask such a ridiculous question (twice). But, then again, maybe you were just being redundantly passive-aggressive and utilizing that as a rhetorical question (twice), I dunno.
Now, I have a question for you.
If you think Cory is a deceptive clickbait artist, why do you fall for it over and over again? I don’t know about you, but I’ve got better things to do in my life than repeatedly jump into online threads made by people that I think are deceptive clickbait artists. I avoid them and move on with my life.
Maybe you should try it?
