Re: Poll
Moderation in all things, G&L, including moderation. Nice to see you back.

Re: Poll
What Chicopoopoo isn't telling anyone, the disingenuous bastard that he is, is that phpBB polls can be altered by knowledgeable administrators. All you have to do is...
Ooops.
"Knowledgeable".
My bad. Ignore.

Re: Poll
Democracy--rule by the people--sounds like a WONDERFUL thing. We should try it sometime.

Re: Poll
What raggin isn't telling anyone, the disingenuous hired thug that he is, is that he conspired with GW to destroy this truth forum, something normal people don't have an interest in doing, but hired thugs do.

Recently, Cass Sunstein, President Obama’s Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, his “Information Czar,” if you will, has publicly suggested that it would be a good thing if the government were to engage in the sort of tyrannical actions that most of us know have already been going on for a long time. Here he muses, about midway through the paper on what should be done about citizens’ questioning of frankly questionable goings-on that he has dismissed with the hackneyed catch-all term of “conspiracy theories.”
II. Governmental Responses
What can government do about conspiracy theories? Among the things it can do, what should it do? We can readily imagine a series of possible responses.
(1) Government might ban conspiracy theorizing.
(2) Government might impose some kind of tax, financial or otherwise, on those who disseminate such theories.
(3) Government might itself engage in counterspeech, marshaling arguments to discredit conspiracy theories.
(4) Government might formally hire credible private parties to engage in counterspeech.
(5) Government might engage in informal communication with such parties, encouraging them to help.
Each instrument has a distinctive set of potential effects, or costs and benefits, and each will have a place under imaginable conditions.
However, our main policy idea is that government should engage in cognitive infiltration of the groups that produce conspiracy theories, which involves a mix of (3), (4) and (5).

Re: Poll
Chico, you were the one who invited GW over. You knew it would have conseqenses.
TAKE THE RESPONSIILITY FOR WHAT HAS HAPPENED AFTER THAT POINT.
This is exactly the same situation when Bill Ryan played with Atticus and chaos erupted. He never admitted to his first mistake. One has to learn from mistakes.

Re: Poll
His mistake was not responding to her request to remove personal information.
This was the second time he was not sensitive to a member's needs.
The second time this forum erupted.
Geez, you'd think such a good truth seeker like Chico would be able to connect the dots.
You have as good a chance of getting Chico to assume any responsibility as trying to get Bill Ryan to admit he did
something wrong.

Re: Poll
GW sold herself as a wounded and misunderstood truth warrior. I made the mistake of buying it at first. Turns out she deceived me, but I learned from my mistake. Woman, you are so twisted, I would be surprised if you knew which way is "UP".

Re: Poll
Your mistake is not understanding what qualifies as personal information and what does not. Please don't start accusing me of having just revealed personal information about you that must be removed from the forum immediately! Because I won't be removing it.
