Activism See other Activism Articles Title: Time for Civil Disobedience on LP - Red Tacitists Rips Goldi a New One Time for Civil Disobedience on LP: Ron Paul (I see that this idea is already running free on LP. Everyone is way ahead of me. I'm behind the curve, oh well. So I'm not really giving anything new here, but what the heck) I've decided it's time to cut through the BS around here. I have no intention what-so-ever of abiding by Goldi's new insane rule about not posting anything about Ron Paul. There is no reason to at all. It is far beyond reason and I'm going to give it all the respect it deserves, none. Unjust laws deserve no respect and I will give it none. The whole idea is an outrage. She intends to prevent posts about a presidential candidate? No way in hell I'm going along. She can ban me if she wants, big deal, I can't stay under these circumstances anyway. I intend to follow the rules I agreed to when I got an account, and the ban on WP stories, as I knew about it already, and it's reasonable, though new posters should have a way of knowing it. I have no intention of following any of the BS rules Goldi post on her periodic rants. In fact, I'm putting her on bozo, where she belongs. She will be the first person I have ever done that to in the 7 years since I first had access to such a software function. (No, Neil didn't invent the idea) Like I said, I will continue to follow the posted rules in good faith, I will do my best to make anything I post as a thread worth doing so. I'm also going to do my best to stay off troll threads at all cost. (For instance “The Ron Paul fans are spamming the forum again” I will continue to try and stay out of the wild flame wars that burn in this place. If Goldi doesn't like it, who cares? She is as useless forum hostess as ever I've seen. She should give it back to Neil. She seems to hate the place and its become a joke under her. Okay /end rant. It may seem nuts to put the person who can ban you on bozo, but it also sends a message, clear as can be about what you think of her actions. I say put her on bozo. Once, no bozo spamming. There is only one candidate this year with any kind of grass roots support, Ron Paul. Lots of it internet based. Take a look at any of the news stories about him (that you aren't supposed to post here) they all mention it. Yet, we're supposed to pretend he doesn't exist? The simple reality of the situation is that ANY forum on the net that is in anyway open is going to have supporters of Paul on it. There are going to be stories posted about it. It's news. Simple fact. To not allow it is to turn this place into a total lie. As I see it for myself there are three things that I could do here at this point that would be honorable in the face of this nonsense. 1. Simply leave. 2. Continue here, restricting myself to THE BIG THREAD and Palo's, as well as any other new ones that come along. (I will do this too I think) 3. Not pay any attention to what deserves not to be payed attention to. That's what I'm going to do. Now, I checked and I only have 4 (five with this one) articles that I've ever posted here, 3 of them had to do with Ron Paul. And in the last year and a half something like less then 600 posts all together . You can call that spamming if you want, good luck getting someone to believe you. Now, naturally, if Goldi should give the place up, I will take her off bozo and treat her just like everyone else. Ignoring or replying as I see fit. But she hasn't posted anything as a moderator that was worth listening to in years as far as I can tell. But for now, I will go along my merry way with her on bozo. If and when I find something I think is worthy to be a thread on Ron Paul, I will post it, same as always. When I have something to add to a Paul thread, I will do it. I'm not going to post any old thing as a thread. For right now, I'll just add a name to bozo. (Non-Paul people could do the same if you don't agree with the ban) I'll suggest to all Paul supporters that the best way to handle this place is to try and act like Ron Paul would. Ignore the spitballs. Respond to reasonable questions or objections thoughtfully, even if they are given in a hateful or demeaning manor, like Ron Paul would. Also, being an actual Christian, I don't think Paul would mind a bit if we also did our best to keep these these in mind (now this is really hard): Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

I am not trying to be mean here, but some people think way too much of themselves. The fact that Goldi is unfair is a given, but it is her forum. If you don't like her rules, leave. So LP turns into another FR/RedState/Hannity forum, who cares? They are all irrelevant including FR. Ron Paul's forums are showing the so-called "Republican" forum "giants", that they are mere ants by comparison. Even FR can't compete with all of the Ron Paul Forums out there. Any political forum that bans discussion of Ron Paul is not worth reading, they are making themselves more irrelevant everyday. Forget LP, you may have contributed a lot of posts to LP but it is way past high time to cut ties with that place.
I never joined to begin with. I just like making fun of the place.
Wasn't there a Minerva on TOS many years ago? If my recollection is correct, how did you end up here? What drew you to this site?

That wasn't me on TOS. I have never posted there either. I came here because I knew somebody here.
Me.
