Zook is a great example Please continue your fantastic analysis Chico.

I should state that I like Zook, just as I like Bill Ryan and Atticus. Heck, sociopaths are usually exceedingly charming, so you can't help but like them. But I don't like what they do. In analyzing these characters, I don't do it out of spite or hatred. I just go where the truth takes me. I've learned a great deal about sociopaths, and in certain people, I see a significant display of sociopathic characteristics. I make note of that, and I do it publicly, as I think it is critical information that all humans should be acutely aware of. Sociopaths are not going to like it, for they can only succeed at their deceptions and manipulations when they are well hidden. Exposing them is the worst thing that can happen to them. They are, after all, con-artists, and when the con is exposed, the game is over.

They are everywhere im afraid. This type of medium allows for a containment field to exasperate the behaviors. Rarely do you spend so much time with one person or in pressurized situations. I throw sociopathic grenades all the time in public, but rarely do I get to see the change or the illumination. Another problem to this problem, is the lack of character analysis in society. It become dangerous to even talk about it. Tally ho...

By the way, as Andywight has pointed out to me, I could very well be admonished for "feeding the troll" as I continue to engage UncleZook in what some would consider seemingly endless "drama". I "feed the troll" to provide a body of evidence illustrating the methods and strategies a troll employs to manipulate a forum. I may have beat this one into the ground, as I don't think there is anyone that could believe Zook's nonsense after a careful perusal of the back-and-forth debate that has occurred in this forum. Such a back-and-forth debate would never occur in other forums, as the administrators and moderators (like Zook) would never allow it to happen, in their own self-interest. They would claim abuse of the free speech "privilege", or excessive noise to signal ratio, or some other deceptive reason to terminate the discussion, and many forum members would applaud them for doing so.

And that last part is the part I find so sad, that "many forum members would applaud them for doing so." Too many choose comfort over truth, supporting the very tyrants that bleed them.

Well UncleShill you've really outdone yourself this time!

If you follow this link and go to the 22 minute mark on the "The Pub live chat 07" you will hear UncleZook crying about three guys from here he feels are taking shots at him, who he then describes as "Too Chicken Shit" (wonder where he got that descriptive from?) to join him in a Skype group chat.

1. You lying sack of shit UncleZook, you're been in my Skype contacts for over a month, and I've not heard a single peep out of you!

2. Bullshitting about this forum and calling people "Chicken Shit" in the controlled safety of Non-universal Spectrum's private Skype chat room is the ultimate form of Chicken Shit behavior, and that includes you ViagraYaya for jumping on UncleZookie's little band wagon by calling the members in question "COWARDS" (FTR you're more than welcome to come here to respond to this, but I doubt you've got the balls for it YagraYaya you fucking Muppet!)

3. A simple solution to all of this would be for Chico and myself to Join next weeks Universal Spectrum "Live Pub chat"!

What do you say guys???

p.s. Be advised that I won't be engaging in any of that ego fondling that you guys seem to enjoy so very much over there!

I suspect that I am one of the guys "taking shots" at Zook, and I can clearly state that I am not afraid to have a Skype chat with anyone. I am disappointed that Zook would even suggest that, but he does have a tendency to jump to certain conclusions in little time.

I have had numerous Skype chats with Zook already, and I've enjoyed them all. Fear of facing Zook is not a concern of mine, and I'm pretty sure Zook knows it.

I remember at the Atticus1 forum, Atticus himself was quite keen to have a Skype chat with me after I joined, but I refused, stating that I wanted everything to be out in the open on the forum. I had already heard how Atticus operated, via private Skype chats where he could work his sociopathic charm and manipulation on his unsuspecting victim, and then later make whatever claims he desired about the call, as there was no record to contradict his lies.

GypsyWoman was the first "Sneaky Pete" to fool me, inviting me to a private Skype call that she recorded without my knowledge. She did this on every subsequent Skype call I had with her, as a matter of routine, I discovered later. She claimed it was to protect herself, but it was really for manipulative purposes, which is why she didn't announce that she was recording the call. I know Zook well enough (I hope) to know that he wouldn't do that, and I'm not suggesting he would. But it does go to show that certain personality types that practice deception and manipulation will use the most innocent means of communication to ensnare their prey.

Mook is a pedantic narcissist, missing points of liberty to further his own idiotic bread trail to the candy corn pop house. Not like Hansel, kook is to consumed with truffle truths and trivial trifles, to not get himself cooked like a thanksgiving Turkey every time. Fortunate for him this place understands the right to freedom of speech, otherwise if he was at any other board in the solar system he would have gotten ejected, punched to the curb, or dropped like a bad habit.

Zook care to comment on why you were editing posts at Nexus without permission? How many posts did you delete? How many bans were you associated with? Care to comment on why you were a moderator at Nexus for so long under so much censorship, banning, and harassment? Care to comment why that same bad habit is happening at your current Moderator place?

There's a lot of truth there. If any one of us posted on Avalon or Nexus or Universal Spectrum in a style similar to how Zook posts here (calling people asswipes, female ejaculators, and other unmentionables), moderator Zook himself would vote to have that member banned in short order. Yet here he practices free speech, while elsewhere he censors it. That seems a bit hypocritical to me.

Maybe more than a bit.

At Universal, if that behavior persisted, yes ... I would vote for the tree bucket ... and to the Moon and beyond with those that have no care for the community standard(s).

At United, where cussing is a way of life, and tolerated by an unresponsive Administrator who allows all kinds of riff raff sounds to occupy his forum, in the name of free speech - which ironically delivers less signal and more noise than almost any minimally moderated forum out there - there can be no rational objections to anything I've ever posted ... of course, that hasn't stopped Chico from whining about something which he insists must be tolerated. Confused man? I think so.

Me? I tend to abide the standards of the given community wherever I go. United just happens to have low standards, so I allow my common denominators a little bit of exercise here. Universal has much higher standards, so I am more circumspect there. When I'm in Rome, I tend not to be Athenian. Logical.






No. That sounds like confusion on your part, Chico. FWIW, no two private communities can be expected to be identical. But you would have all the alternative media forums to be identical, or at least so similar that there is very little distinction between them. That's a salient fact, my friend.

When speech consists of noise and signal ... and the noise heads to infinity while the signal heads to zero ... the right to freedom of speech is essentially the right to freedom of noise. Logical.






Editing without permission?? I know that innuendo is what you guys are experts at ... but let's stick to facts ... care to provide me even one instance of me editing a post without permission?

All the rest is baseless innuendo that makes for good reading copy ... in the fiction section.

ps: Is it any surprise that noisemakers are the loudest proponents of the right to freedom of noise?

ps2: You make great noise, btw, Mags. Some of the best heard in these parts in a long while.
