His engagement in debates might be seen by some as spirited rather than malicious.

No thanks it’s way too far,
And I couldn’t be bothered
But you have already used the , “ don’t take me seriously, I’m a dickhead , plea “
So no jury will convict you after that .
Jeffy,
Excuses, excuses.
It probably wouldn't be a jury hearing.
It wouldn't make it to Court anyway.
But some of your cash might make it to my bank account.
Sue me.

You’ve gotta learn to lighten up,and laugh at yourself,
Isn’t that your advice, ?
And yeah I couldn’t be bothered
Do you know how far that is?
Plus you’ve got a brand new GOK !!!!!!!
Just go easy on the political views
after January 20 though.
@Jeffy,
Yes that is my advice.
You don't seem to want to take it though.
Even when things are lighthearted you can't help yourself and go the snipe.
You can call me anything Jeffy, I don't mind, I'll respond probably, but you can slander, defame, denigrate and insult me all you like,
It's just a forum on a surfsite.
And I won't mention legal liability for your comments, even if they are not a joke or banter online, which my comments about your handle being somewhat male stripperish were.
Stop fucking arguing and sniping with everyone over shit that means fuck all and we can be friends.
I've tried to get you to lighten up here a bit.
What's your fucking problem?

I have been lightening up since I read your GOK thing .
Your the one that’s going all serious,
So you can make jokes about someone else
But they can’t make jokes about you?
And maybe I’m a devout Christian, who would be offended .
But then again maybe I’m not?
I give up.
Maybe you were joking.
I can't tell with you.
Better things...
have a good day Jeffy

Yeah go turn off your GOK
ENE is the devil wind around here.
Hey Adam, tbh, that's really cool.
Can you do me? (not in a sexy way)
For example: Is Zenagain from Swellnet an oppressor of women?
@Zen,
for you my Jap. expat friend,
is swellnet's zenagain an oppressor of women
15 web pages
Based on the search results provided, there isn't explicit evidence or direct accusations from these sources that "zenagain" from Swellnet is an oppressor of women. However, we can analyze the context and comments related to "zenagain" to see if there's any indication of such behavior:
Arguments Potentially Relating to Oppression of Women:
General Attitude Towards Women: There's one comment where "zenagain" is told, "ps, you might want to have a look at your attitude towards women mate, they could be half of your customer base." This suggests that "zenagain" might have expressed views or behaviors perceived as negative or dismissive towards women in some context, but without specific details, it's hard to ascertain the nature of these attitudes ().
Community Perception: In various threads, "zenagain" is mentioned alongside other users, often in the context of heated debates or controversial opinions. However, none of the comments directly link "zenagain" to misogyny or the oppression of women. His involvement seems more centered around surfing culture, politics, and general forum discussions (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , ).
Counterarguments:
Lack of Specific Accusations: None of the texts explicitly state or accuse "zenagain" of being an oppressor of women. His comments are more often noted for being provocative or controversial in general rather than specifically anti-women.
Positive or Neutral Engagement: In other instances, "zenagain" is praised or at least acknowledged for contributions to Swellnet's discussions, suggesting he's a recognized figure in the community for reasons other than gender-related issues (, , , , ).
Broader Context: The discussions on Swellnet include a range of topics, including gender equality in surfing, but these are not directly tied to "zenagain" in a way that would label him as an oppressor. The critique of the surfing industry or broader societal norms doesn't necessarily reflect personal views or actions of "zenagain".
Conclusion:
Insufficient Evidence: Based on the provided search results, there isn't sufficient evidence to conclude that "zenagain" is an oppressor of women. The one indirect comment about his attitude towards women lacks context to confirm oppressive behavior or attitudes.
Community Dynamics: "zenagain" appears to be an active and opinionated member of the Swellnet community, engaging in debates that span various topics. While he might have controversial views or a provocative engagement style, this doesn't equate to oppression of women without direct evidence.
Need for Specific Examples: To definitively assess "zenagain's" stance on gender issues or behavior towards women, one would need to have access to specific posts, comments, or behaviors that directly address or demonstrate attitudes towards women.
In summary, without explicit evidence from these search results, it's not possible to label "zenagain" as an oppressor of women. His involvement in Swellnet discussions appears to be more about broader cultural, political, or surfing-related debates rather than specifically about misogyny or the oppression of women
against my better judgement... I'll engage...
I said tariffs are trump's baragaing chip and they will be minimal
ie. the hysterical propoganda numbers you post are highly unlikely - with MOST nations...
as some have requested exoticjeff, maybe try and interpret stuff a bit, and give us a bit of big jeffy...
your posts are so dogmatic and one eyed they are ridiculous
try tell us what YOU think...
what concerns YOU have...
rather than just parroting a hysterical media rant machine
as also pointed out (not by me), the fact you make some statements - seemingly without even an inkling of awareness of the irony - is... well...
just WEIRD!
Cheers Adam, that's hilarious. Love it!
Haha, gold Adam.
@Syp,
"against my better judgement... I'll engage..."
Take over will you please Syp.
Exercising my better judgement I'll be disengaging.
Sun's out, gun's out.
I've got peacocking to do.
Have a good day boys.
You too Adam.

Your the one who posted X
Saying she’s already folded the deck chairs
and agreeing to do everything Donny says,
Which is basically the opposite of what every
other news outlet is saying,
The Mexican President and Trudeau
have promised equal and opposite tariffs to everything that Trump puts on .
Your X report was the most pissy little peice
of misinformation I’ve ever seen.
Weird that such an angry activist would go to Elons X for news anyway.

Goes to explain how Trumps tariffs will increase prices (which they will) in a negative way. Followed by demonstrating how Australian industry and manufacturing got decimated by lowering tariffs. Makes an argument that tariffs around 15% were not bad at all!?

Man, I just learnt what Grok is. Duh.
what is it @rk? Is it like an eric trump? or quadzilla's clip of elon jr surfing nazare?
(i like the effectiveness of the 'Groke' in Tove Jansson's Moomin stories)

All of the above
But not sure really?
the google machine says it's a chatbot or something..
it's a Heinlein reference to my mind,
can't tech geniuses think up any terms not from neuromancer,
snow crash, clarke, dick, asimov or heinlein?

Now his going to place 25 percent tariffs on
Mexico and Canada, for letting illegal immigrants in to the US .
Except Us gets 60 percent of its crude oil from Canada and huge amounts of produce from Mexico
Not to mention the retaliatory tariffs they will impose on US products going the other way
What part of Einstein doesn’t
@ Burleigh getAbout as much as maga don’t get. The west has spent post Covid battling to keep inflation under wraps and get it back down? How is this not going to raise inflation? Don’t follow too much but can anyone explain Trumps logic to me? Will it enrich him and others more? American industrial revitalization.? None the less everything will be more expensive then as well. They going to pay a decent wage to do it locally. Won’t that increase inflation?
I'll engage with seeds, he's a reasonable man... (be it with a somewhat prickly persona)
yep, covid and inflation - governments totally overshot their recovery packages (much like covid itself) which has only exacerbated the initial covid inflation... spiralling somewhat out of control...
it will fuel inflation
however, by genius or pure fluke... trump's return to a drill drill drill strategy is his main weapon to counter the initial, ukraine, and any subsequent inflation...
as we've seen... if energy costs increase,everything increases...
one of the dumbest own goals of the biden admin, was their reactive ŕesponse to anything trumpy...
which was reversing the energy independence / security that trump had achieved
if you have energy independence, you hold the keys to the castle...
especially in this new developing ever more hostile world
as indo points out above, manufacturing independence is also crucial in this hostile new paradigm - and the two go hand in hand
(side note: this is where oz is in totally delusional danger land - not even having addressing the above on the radar - never mind actually doing something... (see indod's china points etc.)
fact of the matter is, we are in a new hostile world, and trump's whole strategy is addressing this with strength at home first - be it militarily, energy, or manufacturing...
the other fact of the matter is, the cheap chinese peasant factory of the past is history - only invested billionaires, and 'the end of history' ideologues are resisting this
yep, there's gonna be trade war, real war, and inflation
without trump's energy independence strategy... it will only be worse, and somewhat suicidal...
the question is... will trump MAWA?
make amercans work again
with good paying jobs etc of yore...
probably not... the working class have probably been sold a lemon...
due to automation and the like
however, with a smart focus on tech., energy independence, and strength at home first...
maybe, just maybe... they can squeeze more juice from the american empire lemon
the alternative is... well...
tbh, I think it's all possible - I'm not sure trump even has this grand plan - in fact I'm sure he doesn't...
but, with the culmination and confluence of various earth changing events...
there's a chance it might work
because...
automation at home is better than sponsoring china automation (the mindless MO for decades)
energy independence in an unstable world is good- absolutely necessary actually...
these are a given
should be...
but aren't!!
and my own little theory, big physical work forces, and big physical armies are... or will be...
a thing of the past
new wars are about remote control, robots, and drones
and a capacity to protect yourself from such things...
trump's working class are probably heading for the scrap heap
(again...)
...but that's better than being on china's cyber controlled 'brave new world' scrap heap...
(it's a generalisation... and possibly racist... but sorry... they just don't show respect for, and value, the little people like the western world does...
especially dirty bule / gajin / infidels / etc... or whatever china calls us...
aside from japan, their systems of governance, never quite got there
or strived to...)
