Frankly, I love this post, and I don’t think it would have been so buried if the title didn’t mention reddit, which tends to trigger reflexive downvoting.

My biggest wonder about the @creq / @crensch narrative is how (without galactic superpowers) this creq person would have any idea who you were under a different username on a different site. This part doesn’t connect for me.

I have occasionally looked into the profiles of Voat’s more... peculiar... users, especially those who rant about the Great Voat Conspiracy. These ideas generally center around @kevdude, crensch, and comically frequently, @zyklon_b. Of the four times I’ve done this “series” (I believe, I had to look up your link to even see what you were talking about, lol) I believe you were the most active responder. I was likely inspired by whatever recent PV shitpost I made reference to, and I probably ran into comments of yours espousing other grand SBBH-related conspiracies.

I think that shit is really funny. And while I hold enough suspension of disbelief to consider that I am possibly being swindled in shitposting and regular posting as part of a global cabal seeking to control Voat (via shitposting), I do not consider it as more than infinitesimally likely.

Pinging @thebuddha because he might find this worth the read and @trigglypuff because she has been accused of cabal since before it was cool.

Gotta tell ya, I ain't reading all that.

I do appreciate the thought. I gave up when it got to 'your team' in the original insanity. I'm also really confident that exactly none of these people are significant, in any way.

I did see rabbits mentioned, but I'd have to read more (care more) to wedge in a Of Mice And Men quote. 'Snot gonna happen.

Oh, I didn’t think you’d read all of OP, but maybe most of my reply. I also find the SBBH thread he referenced to be amusing, but maybe I’m biased.

Check out his reply to me to see what he thinks of you.

Yeah, neither they nor the people that they're concerned about will ever be significant enough to impact my life. The list of things OP doesn't understand is longer than I'm willing to invest the time to author.

They're literally meaningless to me. My cows are of more interest, and they don't do much of anything interesting. They're possibly more intelligent than any of the folks they're hell bent on ranting about.

I don't even have enough interest to say anything bad about them. They're all just insignificant and I can't really pretend to care, not even for trolling purposes.

I'd have ignored the ping entirely, but I kinda enjoy you. There's a few SBBH that have been mentioned. They can defend themselves. They don't need my help. The rest? I'm hard pressed to think of any way that'd make them matter to me. 'Snot like I respect them or that they are going to do something valuable with their lives. They're just poorly educated, angry, and hopeless.

I feel kind of bad for even spending this much time on it. Maybe it's ego, but they're not really worth my time. Had it been anyone else, for the most part, I'd have ignored the ping entirely.

You’re ok in my book.

The list of things OP doesn't understand is longer than I'm willing to invest the time to author.

Lol, and I know you as rather... verbose! Lol

Always nice to run into you.

TheBuddha ago

I'm very verbose and very willing to invest time.

I have to be interested and it has to be a subject that I find valuable or meaningful.

None of these people meet even the barest of those definitions.

I'm also kind of an asshole. I'm okay with that!

heygeorge ago

I’m also ok with you being kind of an asshole! I find it one of your more endearing traits.

TheBuddha ago

Me too!!!

It's not that I'm unwilling to waste time. It's that I'm unwilling to waste time on them!

I ain't even gonna be polite about it. They aren't even worth the lulz. Shit, even @9-11 is worth the lulz.

Hmm... Now, I almost felt sorry for them. I got over it quickly! Thanks for your concern!
