I only posted here to say this:
And I thought I had it bad with being ganged up on. Now I'm thinking I was lucky. Seems Liberator has it bad, or the worst in HLP.
Sometimes, Liberator, the best thing one can do to stop conflicts and pointless stressful arguments that go nowhere is to not want the last word and to let it go and don't remark to a comment they make about you, I suppose. In other words, don't retaliate to all comments against you. Much of the time, it is only an attempt to have someone make you reply and get a reaction out of you (using you for entertainment and their own ammusement) and then they win by getting that reaction they want and it goes on forever. I know it sounds very immature and high school, but it is that way. So when you just don't reply to every little thing and eventually let it go when you see it won't go anywhere, the negative attention to you is diminished since someone else will draw the attention away from you since they are posting and you stopped.
Knowing the way many people here think, it is best not to start certain topics (meaning topic starter post) because they will flame you, gang up on you, think they are always right just because they disagree, and everything will be to the extreme and go overboard, like in the overpopulation thread. I very rarely make my own topic. They think they know you but they don't even know your name and they assume a lot of things just by someone's post. For example, they could never know who I really am or if more than one person uses my account, for example. I'm not saying more than one person uses it, but they never know.
It is quite surprising that the overpopulation thread grew to 16 long pages in 2 days and most posts were so large. I wonder if that is a record breaker for HLP when it comes to the speed in which a thread has grown and also the sheer number (percentage) of large posts compared to total topic posts. Even though Liberator's topic caused a war against him by the majority here, he did succeed in making a very popular thread and drawing much attention. If his purpose was just to get a reaction and make a popular thread, he definitely won in that case.
