[Tigger]

where's the warning to revolutionist? where's my warning?

all I see is a warning to Lamont. and one by Charlou in general.

I can't see a warning to Lamont. Where is it?

Can we move this thread to its own FORUM please? I mean a completely separate one called "Ratskepaliaism" at a different URL somewhere, because it sure as hell doesn't fit with either place, and got beyond embarrassing quite a long time ago.

This post conforms to Clique Directive 12b, and conforms to Predictable Behaviour Assessment 5a.

maiforpeace, I have no axes to grind with you, and I have no intention of getting into any conflict with you. However, I am curious why you choose to single me out, of all those who have posted on this thread, for your comments.

Actually, I do think that I have offered something quite constructive when I suggested that those at ratskep cop to their irrational actions and welcome those folks back that they were so quick to get rid of. That truly would be a constructive and compassionate thing to do, and I seriously doubt they will do it. So it goes...

THat's what I'm freakn talking about! ANd I keep seeing this kind of thing all the time in the other forum and now here, and that makes my stomach turn. Why has Lamont's post been singled out? I'm really sick about this. It's not even funny, I'm just disgusted.

What, now you don't like free speech?

But... but... Free-speech!?!

rEvolutionist, I don't recall anybody portraying the mods at ratskep (other than you, of course) as an "evil bunch of anti-free speech dictators." However, you can put me down for uptight, close-minded, rigid, irrational and rather cowardly.

I think that many of us think that strong people do not need to cower from controversial viewpoints and differing opinions. In fact, I think that strong people welcome the opportunities to substantiate, as best as they can, their ideas, and welcome chances to justify what they believe and how they came to believe what they do. I only ask that I be protected from those holief-than-thou types who think that myself and others are so weak that we need to be protected.

As far as I know, nobody has banned from RatSkep or from Richard's place for a controversial opinion unless it was blatantly and continuously sexist, racist, or homophobic.

However, that there was at least one person banned from Richard's for being a chronic prick, although it was worded differently, while several people of the same political persuasion happily kept posting away.

Are you referring to my buddy? We can say his name.

He's not a prick, not chronically anyway.
I was wondering, what would happen if he signed up here?

Ok, your buddy Seth, I think he's a prick. When I used to read his posts I used to feel an urge to call him that, and not because of his politics. It's something that comes across in the tone.

You know what would happen if he signed up here? I'd say "Hey Seth, you're being a prick. Cut it out!" That's what would happen.

Wow, nice thread.

Mods, please deactivate my account.

I find it utterly insane that someone would want to end their membership at a forum due to a thread that has nothing to do with said forum.

It's beyond childish really.

Me too. If the argument is about that other forum, why is deactivation not being requested there? Is it because a few people (who mainly inhabit that other forum) have expressed opinions here that other people who mainly inhabit that other forum don't like... about... that... other forum? Errrr....

In any case, it's throwing the baby out with the bathwater, or spitting dummies, or not seeing the forest for the trees... or some old saying.



Sad and disappointing is what it is, really.

This thread actually has EVERYTHING to do with Rationalia.
In fact, IMO it has much more to do with Rationalia than it does with RatSkep.

It's beyond childish really.

Yeah.... so far beyond childish it's gone to adulthood

The argument is not actually about that other forum..... you just all seem to think it is.
It's all about the Ratz.

Of course. Everything is about us Ratz. Nothing else is important!

Okay Starr,

Explain to me how this got anything to do with Ratz.

I think she was joking a bit.
