I have not created a thread about Shankara, Buddhism or eastern philosophy in months actually, I just post in ones other people make. It seems that some of the posters here enjoy trolling the Buddhists or enjoy seeing me argue against Buddhism because they keep posting these threads that inevitably descend into me pointing out Buddhism is illogical and then all the Buddhists on /lit/ chimping out and trying to make everything into a personal attack on me. Perhaps the point is to expose how all the Buddhists here act like petulant children, if so whoever’s posting them is succeeding.

>he only integrated it as a joke after a long period of people accusing him of samefagging and him denying it. He has had some truly crazy antics, constant liar, very rude, lies about arguments with people to say he "won" etc
None of this is true, you just have schizophrenic apophenia and so everytime you see a post that you don’t like or that you think its me you attribute it to me, like less than 10% of the screencaps that you post are actually my posts, try seeing a psychiatrist and getting a script for Risperidone buddy

Not him, but because they use very spurious reasoning in their arguments

Not true, we have great discussions all the time. I have lost track of how many times people have thanked me for answering their questions. People talking about Hinduism in one thread and being critical of Buddhist doctrine is not “killing discussion”. In fact it’s me and the rest of the posters who usually engage in normal discussion while the Buddhists cry and whine about guenonfag in the background for the millionth time
