Like Socrates, the archetypical father of philosophy Chic is a bit of a gadfly himself.
I've been called a lot of things, but I don't recall being called a gadfly. In fact, I didn't even know what that means, so I had to look it up:
Quote:
A gadfly is a person who upsets the status quo by posing upsetting or novel questions
Hmmm, there seems to be some truth in that, after all!
Welcome, Monsieur Simon.

Re: Welcome to the United People forum
Thanks guys there is work to be done. My teenager made me proud, he is doing a report on SOPA and trying to get his friends to realize how important this fight is for the future of freedom on the net.

Re: Welcome to the United People forum
.. -
- hello United People of United People Community Forum .
I was (and am) a member at Avalon and Nexus , but hope I have disquised my avatar name properly to ensure it cannot be recognized , also for a much needed fresh start , without all the old forum baggage ( or was it garbage ..).
Anyway , nice to be here . Am generaly on sort of a holiday from virtual forums, but this looks like a promising place , and nice to see some familiar , missed , voices and faces and a familiar direct approach. Well done . And no thank-you button ! . Cheers for that . - Please keep it that way .
Also for me this is kind of a last resort in the Alternative Community www. (World ..).
- Will be back ..
Well, well , who realy knows .... (turn up the volume, think of the neighbour)

I know what you mean by that. I too was sorely disappointed by Avalon, Atticus1, and Nexus, despite having such hope and enthusiasm initially for the promise they offered. In each case, the forum was not the truth-seeking ideal it was painted to be, but a tool to deceive and manipulate. Truth was the last thing they wanted.
I have been reading some of the blogs of Gypsy Woman of late, and I see in her another person that was looking for truth and honesty in the alternative community, but who, like many of us, found quite the opposite. There has to be a forum for real truth-seekers. I'm hoping that United People will become that forum, and that it will not fall victim to the petty human weaknesses that are so typically used to divide us.
Welcome, nox. I'm glad you are here.
