What you interpret as emotional distress could be just boredom, verbosity, persistence, or one big joke.
I don’t care how much thought you give to your posts or to mine. None of that changes how you acted because you had a negative reputation. But you keep on pretending you didn’t like we all weren’t here for it.

But nobody knows how you or anyone still on the board today would have acted if you got negative reputation because no one ever used the system against you the way pirkster, FSG, and SC1 did to me.
It's rich for you to claim you'd react with less "complaining" or "whining" when you were never tested that way.

Whining is petulant complaining, you are a petulant complainer, ie a whiner.
I give you Exhibit A and the prosecution rests.

You’d think someone who matured so much after high school wouldn’t care so much about what other people think about him.

Petulance is an emotional state that can not be reliably perceived from implications in text. Unless I wrote "I am feeling upset" or "I am angry" you have no way of knowing if I'm really upset or angry and therefore no way of knowing if I'm being petulant.
And anyways, even if I did tell you that, you could always choose to ignore my emotional state and consider the objective content of what I'm saying.

You don't know if I care or not. And if I do care about something, you don't know what it is. You assume it's about what other people think about me, because you assume everybody else works like you. But remember the part where I am not neurotypical?

Oh Fam, you always think you're this complicated mystery that no one can decipher. You're not even a Velma quality imitation of the real Scooby Doo Mysteries.

What is the difference between whining and complaining?
Is it always wrong to complain?
Is it possible to change things without complaining to the person in control?

We already covered it, now you're just being petulant. Again.

I don't recall that.
What do you mean I'm being petulant?

"behaving in an angry or sulky way, especially because you cannot do or have what you want"
https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.c...h/petulant
In other words, a whiner.

Can you explain the difference between whining and complaining?
Maybe give an example of each?

Both words are practically synonyms, but whine has the connotation of being immature or having no substantive reason.
Therefore it doesn't describe you on here at all. He just chose the wrong words to use.
He also used "petulant", which is odd.
Petulant is normally an adjective. Petulant suggests an immature response to perceived unfairness that doesn't match the idea of already of having explained something.
It is something that you would rarely say to an adult except in exceptional circumstances. They would really have to behaving like a kid and not just being argumentative or difficult.
That word sounded good in his head so he thought it would be a sick burn, which it wasn't.
MAGAs are very strange people.

Sure, here's whining:
"It's rich for you to claim you'd react with less "complaining" or "whining" when you were never tested that way."
Here's complaining:
"Man, Mikesez is really bringing down the quality of this board by turning every thread into a whinefest about how everyone hates him."

Shut up DOOF, no one gives a [BLEEP] what you think.

I'll concede, whining was a strong term. Does the b word count?
