#130. To: Pinguinite (#126)
I posted two articles and was banned BEFORE comment.
Which makes me wonder why he was invited in the first place.
That's complete BS and you know it. The bozo was used by some here as a tool to demoralize, in the hopes of making that poster leave. christine and one poster in particular knows this is true. I saw it as no different than the goofy LF rating system which served to run off some very qualified new posters by making their comments all but invisible. As things stood, if a new poster came to 4um and didn't toe the D Party line, they would have been attacked by the usual suspects. That is no way to grow a forum, or welcome new ideas. I love the clash of ideas, even your obscene cry for the abolishment of out 2nd. Please do offer that gem again sometime in the near future. It's always a laugh reading the wisdom of an ex pat.
If you don't want to be banned from forums, maybe it's not a good idea to issue what amounts to an assassination threat.
To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.
If every socialist on the planet failed to wake up tomorrow, it would be a glorious day. I'm sure you agree. Of course that would mean PC (Peoples Collective) would be sans posters.
You say that, and you're puzzled that a forum would not want you?

Puzzled I was invited.
that's a stretch characterizing that "wish" or "fantasy" as an assassination threat. have you never had the thought that this world would be a lot better off without the likes of bush/cheney/neocons/et al as an example? there's been lots of times that i've wished for the demise of what i consider to be evil and dangerous people.
Puzzling, indeed. Must have been a set up...or a mass mailing. I didn't get an invite, so it think it was intentional. Robin filtered me after logic had her spinning in a most uncomfortable way. She's not a lawyer.
Her turn to the political left, left her uncomfortable with all but fellow travelers, most of whom are D members and lawyers.

Story of my life, the only invitations I see are indications I should leave. I snuck in here when Christine was not looking. Several people have told me where I should go but they suggest bad places. (unnamed)
A singer with but one song to sing has a short life.
Curious, isn't it? A schoolyard prank perhaps.
That's okay, dots. Cyni is entitled to his opinion of me and I respect that. At this point I think that's the most constructive position I can take. Thank you.
Yes, I gathered that.
A cop who despises the rule of law. What is wrong with this picture?

You're saying that Neil is dishonest and untrustworthy because he expressed a political opinion that you disagree with. Why don't you post a list of the political opinions that you will allow us to hold?

At this point I think that's the most constructive position I can take. Thank you. He has me on bozo anyway - so it doesn't matter.

JT, I'm fully confident that you honestly believe what you say. For my part, however, I'm confident that you despise Obama so very much to the point where you have fooled yourself into looking for excuses to discourage pro-Obama postings, viewing such excuses as actual reasons. It's the same as you believing that I want to do away with the 2nd Amendment. That's a complete fabrication and there's no truth to it at all. Yet you believe it. Completely. You see what you want to see. You wanted to see the bozo filter as a problem, and it was one. But only in your mind. I don't doubt your sincerity though. Case in point. You see what you want to see, not what is real. I've qualified my meaning to you a half dozen or more times already, but to no effect.
I just spoke to Robin about this. She says she specifically did not invite you. No PM. No email. No nothing. And it makes sense given that you were instantly banned when you went over. So I am sure you have a dodge to cover your deliberately misleading statement here, e.g., "When I said Robin invited me, what I really meant was ..... blah, blah, blah". So let the tap dance begin. Morph your story for us.

JT, I'm fully confident that you honestly believe what you say. Likewise, you For my part, however, I'm confident that you despise Obama so very much to the point where you have fooled yourself into looking for excuses to discourage pro-Obama postings, viewing such excuses as actual reasons. My goodness, have you seen the material I have researched regarding Obama? MSM articles. The man is a big government, anti-gun socialist. Yes, I despise him and his politics. Toss in the cultists who fawn over him b/c of his color. If he were white, he'd be gone long ago (Geraldine Ferraro) It's the same as you believing that I want to do away with the 2nd Amendment. That's a complete fabrication and there's no truth to it at all. Yet you believe it. Completely. Lots here read your comment the same way. Please clarify your position once and for all. You see what you want to see. You wanted to see the bozo filter as a problem, and it was one. But only in your mind. I just pinged you to an example where I consider the bozo was used to discourage a poster from participation. Further, evidence is offered as to the actual number of bozo's the poster has. The poster stated he KNEW the correct number. Please tell me how people KNOW the number of bozo's another poster has?
Just like you KNOW the number of bozo's -MUD- has, eh?
Did it ever occur to you that you're a drag on 4um ? Go worship your Marxist Establishment tool on robin's site maybe ? You have very little respect left with Americans that don't slobber over racist Marxist gun grabbers, best to save that in a thimble somewhere no ?
NOOOO you dint !!! He said he had three. More than three confirmed to me that they had him on bozo. That's all I needed to know to call him a liar. Get over it. People bozo's you because you acted like an asshole. Accept it and move on. The site changed the entire system just for you and you are still sulking like a child.
.
You're probably THE most intellectually dishonest poster 4um has...and THAT is saying a MOUTH full...surprised you bother hanging around here since the People's Place opened up. Your kind hasn't changed their basic M.O. for a long time...
You say that, and you're puzzled that a forum would not want you? What a setup job by a bunch of America haters...
I knew it, you're a bitter-clinger too...=) heheheh
That's not what we're talking about JT. We're not talking about how good or bad Obama is. Read my statement again please. This is another example of you not seeing/reading objectively. I have. And you are not the only one seeing crooked. If you were, things would not have reached the point they have here on 4um. And now, elsewhere. I may not be seeing straight either, for all I know. Anyone who claims to be certain of having a mind free of bias is a liar, really. What's that biblical quote about trying to remove a splinter from another person's eye when you have a plank in your own? But as far as my position goes, you definitely don't understand it. And I have explained it. Many times.
Progressives/Socialists/Communists are miserable creatures. My theory is because they have to lock up their conscience in order to buy into the horrendous things they endorse, which goes against all that is freedom and liberty and good...has to suck to be one of them.
To me, an intellectually dishonest poster is one who tosses out a vicious smear, as you just did above, without a shred of proof, as you just did above.
.
It never is, you clowns will never face the truth, never own up to reality and have to change the subject with long flowery piles of BULL SHIT...you keep falling like a rock for all to see. Your demise was VERY unpredictable...
Btw, you condescending rag doll...you really are not as bright as you believe yourself to be. I have examples, but I'll refrain for the time being. This is too rich...
And some misuse it under multiple accounts, I suspect.
That's a dark and ultimately very personally lonely place to be...lost in the wilderness.
Besides me peeking into the DB, only each member can know how many have bozo'd them. Someone had me on bozo recently but I don't know who it was. I didn't care enough to find out, and it's none of my business anyway. It was you that posted the survey thread asking everyone how many had them on bozo. I don't think anyone suspected then that you were starting a campaign to do away with the filter.
good lord.....and good luck.
You do realize that as long as your sorry ass is webmaster of 4um, ultimately no one is going to trust their privacy on this site. You blew your credibility and all trust so that now the 4um is corrupt from the back office-out...unless of course one is an ObamaCON.
I assume you don't peek into anything, so lets take that off the table. Thiple dots claims to KNOWS the number of bozo's -MUD- has. Huh? He has to be wrong, right?

you are ignoring the fact that he and Robin have a long history here
Thought for the day:
Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'
