Dutch beach volleyball player Steven van de Velde, who served time in prison after he was convicted of raping a 12-year-old girl, won his second match at the Paris Olympics and received an even harsher reaction from the crowd on Wednesday than for his first match.

      Anyways, like I said, you only just learned of this concept like a minute ago,

      And what you say determines reality does it?

      Sorry for being a condescending prick

      Cool, maybe start with not assuming what I do or don’t already know about in the very same comment.

      sometimes people being stubbornly ignorant get the better of me.

      Well, didn’t take long for that apology to stop meaning anything. Less than one sentence.

          Cool, except, like I said, I’m not ignorant on the topic. You just decided I was. That’s how I knew that consensus decision-making involved voting despite you saying it didn’t and saying the article (which you obviously never read) didn’t talk about voting.

          There’s a really bad inclination of redditors to think that if you don’t know everything then you’re a fool, and that’s just not true. So let’s not do that - let’s be honest when we don’t know something, and take it as an opportunity to learn, rather than digging our heels in and refusing to budge.

          And yet you keep lying about me being ignorant on this topic.

          Anyways, I hope you took the opportunity to learn about consensus decision making

          My favorite part about this is that, as I told you in a previous comment, I already told you I knew about it so you’re not only lying, you’re gaslighting.

          Condescending, lying, gaslighting… anything else you want to do to convince me that you’re a troll who doesn’t belong here?

              Cool, more lying and gaslighting. But no, you’re clearly not a troll, just someone who thinks lying, gaslighting and now just plain old insults are appropriate around here. They are not.

              And your silly prediction is wrong. I am not going to ban you for this despite the incivility rule violation. I am just going to stop talking to you.

              But you have just earned yourself the eye of a moderator who will not tolerate your rule-breaking with anyone else. Including if I see any in your recent history.
