you have to love the freaking irony. Chased away by a thin-skinned millennial, after he made sure to neg me (and then report me).

my pet continues to follow me around it seems.
I don't agree with him leaving nor do I like this Shapiro guy from what I have heard. I agree with you there.
But you have gotten pretty condescending, mocking and aggressive lately. Not to mention assigning people positions they haven't taken. Don't really like it.

I don't care to coddle those who first demean the opinions of those my age, and then continue to promote the opinions of those who fight everyday to make my life worse.
I wasn't assigning any position to him. He kept complaining about things I wasn't really doing. I didn't build a single straw-man, nor did I say he supported Shapiro. I told him that his stance on Shapiro was vague, which it was. And then I started making fun of him mostly because he makes fun of people from my demographic for being sensitive. I'd gladly give him another taste of his own medicine if it came down to it.
I don't think I've been condescending with him. Mocking because he started it. I'll say aggressive, 100%.
I was meaning in general, lately. I disagree with you. Maybe it's just me but lately you have become a much more abrasive poster and it's not really fun to debate with you or engage with you anymore. To me you come off just as I have said. I miss the Dala that was able to make his point without being a jerk. Something you were quite good at IMO.
Just my .02
You should keep your antics up until you've alienated and ran off every last poster in GD. I think Siro is your last hold out; he seems to enjoy kids who don't grow out of know-it-all syndrome but become radicalized instead.
Take a hint from all the people who have either told you to **** off, put you on ignore, and now have self banned. It's not a short list, but good job adding Archie as a trophy to your collection.
I've met Shapiro before as a friend of a friend (someone I went to college with knew him in law school). He's a very specific kind of guy that you collect a handful of when you spend time at elite colleges: very very smart people who take ridiculous positions almost as a challenge to prove how smart they are. These people are not evil per se, but they're inherently kind of narcissistic and they can really lose track of what it is they really believe because one of the ways of proving that you're a genius is to perceive the world in a different way than other people. (Yes, I've been guilty of this behavior before).
The one time I met him I made fun of him (lightly, and this was a party for people who were 20-24 so there was booze involved) for writing a book about how evil and liberal college was when he was 17 and had never been to college. The joke was light but pointed, getting to the "but how did you know?" and he 100% refused to back down on the idea that he didn't have perfect knowledge of both what college was like when he was 17 and what the objectively neutral political view should be on every topic taught in college. Find a 17 year old and tell me that isn't comical.
In sum, Ben Shapiro is the definition of intelligence without wisdom. That's good enough to be successful, but not good enough to be truly valuable.
