Re: In Praise of Josh Timonen
Then they for sudden joy did weep,
And I for sorrow sung,
That such a king should play bo-peep,
And go the fools among.
Prithee, nuncle, keep a schoolmaster that can teach
thy fool to lie: I would fain learn to lie.

Re: In Praise of Josh Timonen
If you'd read your PMs you'd find out why that post was moved. If you have an issue with that, respond to the PM.Salviati wrote:A short while ago I submitted a post to this thread in which I accused the former RDF forum staff (Kevin Ronayne in particular) of the same heavy-handed tactics as Josh Timonen. I think I stated myself too mildly: Kevin Ronayne and co. were actually even worse in this regard.
Now I discover that my post has been removed. So very revealing. Cowardly covering up of dissent was also a distinguishing hallmark of the former RDF forum staff.
The fascists, it seems, have finally got a taste of their own bitter medicine.

Re: In Praise of Josh Timonen
The poster still shows 2 posts, so it's apparently been moved somewhere out of sight.lordpasternack wrote:Is it normal practice to delete posts that fall foul of the rules?Tigger wrote:It was eated for that reason.Thinking Aloud wrote:I don't know where the missing post is, but if it was an attack then it would have fallen foul of this forum's "no personal attacks on forum members" rule.Anthroban wrote:There were some good mods and some bad ones..

So if Josh Timonen registers an account, will he receive similar protection?Thinking Aloud wrote:I don't know where the missing post is, but if it was an attack then it would have fallen foul of this forum's "no personal attacks on forum members" rule.
Fat chance. The double standards are plain for all to see.
This is a community of hypocritical gossip-mongers, who are too insecure and intellectually limited to reliably think clearly. You won't be missed.
I guess this post will be removed too. Zero tolerance of dissent, right? Just like the old RDF forum.

I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows

If Josh signs up here he gets a blank slate, like you did, like I did, like everybody here did. Live with that.

Yes.Salviati wrote:So if Josh Timonen registers an account, will he receive similar protection?
It's happened here before, where someone who was a literally persona non grata to most of the membership signed up. He was welcomed, and spent a good while as part of our community. Sure, some people didn't get on with him, but everyone who comes here and plays by the rules is welcome.

WTF are you talking about, Rummy? My post WAS taken to another thread. This is not up for debate: it's simply what happened.
