How about this one? As an example it is both insulting ("pathetic") and defensive ("circleherk"). Will you answer the question now?

The anti-GGW circlejerk on this board is equally perplexing and pathetic.

It wasn't me who said it, and I'm not going to google definitions, but as far as I know, a "circle[h]erk" is a multi-participant event, not a personal insult.

And again, posting about others' obsession with GGW is not defending GGW, anymore than posting about Joe McCarthy's obsession with communists would be defending communism or communists.

So why do you need to post in response to "others' obsession"? Is there a compelling reason?

And the obsession continues for anyone who dares point out your odd fixation...

I was downtown this morning and there is NO WAY traffic is back to pre-pandemic levels. It was empty.

I don’t understand what you are saying. I am asking a very basic and simple question. Someone earlier in this this thread mocked GGW. There was a swift and defensive response to insult that person by one or more people. I’m trying to find out why this person(s) feel the need to defend a website. Instead of responding, I’ve been told that there was no insults and that there was no defense of the website. Then I was told that it’s a response to others, not a defense of the website itself. Now it looks like someone is mocking me for seeking a basic answer? Why not just answer the question? What is so important or special about this local website to you? Are you affiliated? Are they your friends? Do you consider them ideological comrades in arms? What is it?

I and others have pointed out your odd obsession with GGW. What is hard to understand about that?

A swift and defensive response to insult by one or more people? You not only have a pathological fixation, you also have a persecution complex.

I’m trying to find out why this person(s) feel the need to defend a website.

Once again - I'll use very short words this time, since you are having a difficult time grasping this - if I say you have a strange obsession, that is not a defense of the object of your obsession.

Instead of responding, I’ve been told that there was no insults and that there was no defense of the website.

That's because there weren't.

Then I was told that it’s a response to others, not a defense of the website itself.

That's because it was.

Here's the persecution complex again.

I know we're both just strangers on the Internet, but you have a fixation on GGW that is bordering on compulsion. You may want to seek help.

My only interest is in getting a response to my question which I have asked over and over and to which you seem intent to not respond to.

It’s fascinating.

If traffic were anywhere near pre-pandemic levels I’d be on metro. It’s not, so I’m not.

I'm one of the PPs. I think your question is, "Why the need to defend the website?"

Here's my answer: I haven't defended it, and I'm not defending it. I'm merely commenting on your (or somebody's) obsession with it.

Are you driving op? If so, than you are part of the problem.

Interesting. I have not mocked the website. My only “obsession” as you call it is only why you feel the need to respond to people that do mock the website. What’s the goal?
