VE is totally goofy

It's safe to assume that if you read the OWRP, Alliance Politics, or World Affairs forums, you know I hate the Viridian Entente. But, people have varying levels of lives, so for those of you who didn't, now you do. I hate VE. VE makes my skin crawl.
One of the main reasons that I hate VE is that Viridians have their heads wayyyy up their own butts. This week--like every week in which a Viridian posts--I ran across yet another infuriating instance, and to avoid derailing a commemorative thread, I've brought it over here to the 
Last night a Justitian noted PatJenn had deleted and GPA had opened a thread, and "VE has hijacked it." PatJenn is sort of mystical and VE is completely awful, so I definitely went to check it out.
Sure enough:
Sucks to see Ted go. Although I am honored that you have decided to allow VE to have two senators going forward because you have decided that no person from GPA could ever fill Ted's shoes. Thank you for that gift.
I made a snarky reply, to which Goldie said he was just joking and it had gone over my head.
I found that claim hilarious given that VE is utterly incapable of detecting jokes, and had recently refused to accept that I was joking when everyone else on the entire planet could tell:
The joke, made like 24 hours after logs began floating around:
It just so happens that I haven't got the slightest idea what this coalition thing is and I'm exceedingly butthurt that accusations are being leveled on the peace-loving Cult of Justitia. The idea that BAPS would fight alongside CoJ for example is just plain silly.
VE Lawl-yer and Chief Clowncil Impero jumps on the case
Ohhh, you.
You're a liar.
Schattenmann, my statement is very, very narrow: You lied.
You hold yourself out as some sort of truthbringer to the masses, screaming and yelling at the top of your lungs about anything GOONS related and making post after post attempting to defame them, and lieing in a public venue about a matter which you are very vocal on speaks volumes about the rest of your words here. The fact of the matter is you have showed a propensity to lie about your involvement and investment here, and it calls your character into question. Refusing to address it will not make reality any less real.
Stop responding with nonsensical statements which aren't even close to being on point to what I'm saying about you.
And poor bottom-rung lackey Reptyler who has just recently embarked on a quest to get more involved in world politics chimes in. I guess the first lesson in World Politics 101 for Viridians is "The party line."
Oh, so you were just joking? I get it.
Admittedly, Goldie was not personally involved in that strain of Viridian paint-huffing, but you can see why I would find it more than a little funny that I would find the tables turned so soon. Maybe Goldie was joking, if he was, no one laughed. And I certainly am not going to spend like 7 posts arguing with him on whether or not he was joking. Impero's Nancy Grace impersonation was a better joke than my own "BARK! YOU'RE A LIAR SCHATTENMANN, ADMIT IT, RUFF! RUFF! I'VE GOT YOU CORNERED BOW-WOW! SAY IT! SAY YOU'RE A LIAR! GRRRRRR"
Then of course even though the exchange between me and Goldie was done--me having got my dumb jabs in and he having said they were jokes, boom end of story unless you're Impero--another one of my favorite VE space cadets has to get things going again with this gem in response to my last reply to Goldie:
Really? Does every single thread have to be about VE?
ugh...
I guess some will never learn.
Le sigh. So let me get this straight:
1. GPA opens a thread about a GPA member deleting
2. Viridian Entente's Goldie makes either a joke or a veiled threat, depending on your perspective:
Sucks to see Ted go. Although I am honored that you have decided to allow VE to have two senators going forward because you have decided that no person from GPA could ever fill Ted's shoes. Thank you for that gift.
3. I reply to Viridian Entente
4. Leprecon admonishes me for making the thread about VE.
Can you all feel my frustration? How do you reply to someone so stupid? What is the reply to that? Maybe Leprecon does not understand that all those replies in the thread, they're in chronological order, and Goldie's comes before mine. But, honestly, if he can't already figure that out, what am I supposed to say to him to make him get it? Does anyone know? Is there an exceptional education specialist out there that can help me formulate an IEP for Leprecon, or do we just have to look at his level and say, "Welp, there's no point?"
This is why I hate VE. They're all exactly like Leprecon and Impero.
This one from the same PatJenn thread also absolutely cracked me up:
WCE has humbled you, you don't even try anymore to feign rational arguments.
I basically refrained from comment on the WCE topic when it came up. I feel no exaggeration in saying that, along with Doitzel, and maybe Stumpy, I created the last age of OWF discourse (with NPO having been on forum silence for almost a year and Vox dominating the airwaves), so I knew there was no point in trying to fight that fire--you get some intel, you make it funny, people eat it up, anyone that argues looks dumb. Not going there. I read along, I made a few clarifications on private forums, I laughed at some of the jokes.
What is so funny to me is that Goldie believes what he is saying. Goldie, and probably hundreds of people, think that I was "humbled" by the leaking of the #stratego logs. But if you ask him "howso?" he will not be able to answer you.
For years, literally years, people have tried to marginalize me as a blowhard. Docartaigh coined "Schattenham" (which I found clever), recently Proximus at ODN called me "Schittenman" (and I'm sure he found that clever), etc. A talking head. A last Vox relic that forgot to turn in his megaphone.
So here's the problem with the idea that I have been magically humbled: Schattenmann--the leader of an alliance with 2 optional military treaties--creates a channel to discuss the possibility of going to war, and 16 alliances show up for the party. Oh, yeah, I am sooooooo mortified and humbled.
Are you serious?
Yeah, you go ahead and call it humbled. I hope I get humbled like this every month.
Humbly yours,
Schattenham
