In Praise of Josh Timonen

[charlou]

Salviati obviously has things he wants to get off his chest.

The salviati/klr discussion is being monitered by staff. It may be moved to a separate thread. If so, I will inform you and post a link.


Salviati, in defense of klr, he has been an exemplary member here at rationalia, and will be strongly defended as a member of the rationalia community. He is not a member of staff here, and the rationalia staff do not do things the same way they have been done at RDF.

Aw... I had flan'd on posting, but it seems to have risen above my level.

Not at all! You knead more self-confidence!

[Heresiarch]

Somehow, subtlety (note the correct spelling please) is not a word that spring to mind when reading your posts here.

Hah, nothing else to do but nitpick typos?

"Hah" isn't a word.

[Blondie]

I'll be interested to see if our friend comes back and has the honesty to at least identify himself.

And to pre-empt the obvious: Most ex-RD.net people here know full well who I am, despite my change of user name. A search of my post history will show me openly acknowledging who I am as early as my second post, almost a year ago. There are numerous references by other posters to my real name here as well.

I don't have the slightest clue who you are.. but I took an extended leave of absence from RD.net for a while.. were you a moderator for a short period?

Moderator and then admin for 18 months in all ...

mmm not recently then? I wasn't gone for 18 months.. unless you mean cumulatively and not consecutively

Can I be one more to add to the chorus of "Why are you here?"

It's clear the only intent you've come here with is to harass members and drag along your ball and chain of grievances from someplace else to rekindle them here.

I have the exact same question for you

[Blondie]

So, to sum up again: Any attempt to impose a certain level of civility on a forum is not only equal to the recent actions of the admins at RD, but is the equivalent of cyber-genocide.
AWESOME!

What is cyber-genocide?

It's when you can't access youporn.

The systematic elimination, or attempted systematic elimination, of a particular subset of programs, subroutines, classes, or functions related by inheritance, co-development, or dependencies.

I think that it has something to do with not being allowed to call other people dickheads, and getting a post removed when you do so.

How hilarious!

Oh wait.

I detect sarcasm but fail to comprehend it..

Yes, that's why I'm here. I'll leave if you ask me nicely.

I haven't even started yet on how my (supposed) actions were worse than nuking the biggest freethinking forum on the internet. I might get back to you on that one. If there's time.

I have no objection to civility, in fact civility is the norm on this forum. I am generally not an antagonistic fellow, but I will not sit idly by and watch absolute drivel be passed off as reasonable discourse by jumped up, wannabe intellectuals like you who can barely put a cogent sentence together, my fellow posters deserve more than to be treated like moronic chattel. If you think this should not be the case then please, by all means enlighten us as to why this should not be the case, you fucking tit.

Moderators?

Thank you.. I try to bake a good point every so often.

I set 'em up, you do exactly as predicted.

Moderators?

Yes, we have some. Why do you ask?

[Heresiarch]

Moderators?

Graphite, heavy water, beryllium and light water.

Did you predict this?
