Maybe the problem is that some of us - like me - are expecting too much from the forum. Expecting it to be rank, but evolved; free speech, but controlled; full of dudes, but without pin-ups....

yes, pc....that is why besides what i said my problem was with the tft's, i really don't mind them.
One of the most irrational of all the conventions of modern society is the one to the effect that religious opinions should be respected....That they should have this immunity is an outrage. There is nothing in religious ideas, as a class, to lift them above other ideas. On the contrary, they are always dubious and often quite silly.

I resent that accusation. My criticisms are never less than overt. I consider myself more of a front-stabber, actually.

Side stabber then. They are presented here but they are always vague. There is definitely an ever present element of cowardice.

Cowardice? Where? One example, please.
Fucking hell, I called Ghoulslime a paedophile, applauded Dr Choobs's suspension, have spoken out long and loud about Tenspacegate when everyone else seemed to want the matter to quietly disappear, and am forever criticising the mods (even when they've not done anything wrong).
I have a great many character flaws, but being afraid to stand up and be counted is not one of them.

Calling someone a name on the internet doesn't make you brave Waddlie. Brave would be if you actually had a conversation with someone (that you completed) about some action or statement that you found objectionable and trying to reach some understanding.
Fly by shooters and hit and run drivers are violent but not brave.

Once again, your astonishing inability to make a coherent point render me equally incapable of rendering an adequate response. What the fucking fuck are you talking about?
I'm not claiming to be "brave". I'm rejecting your allegations of cowardice. Allegations which have no merit and are unjustified. If you have evidence to support what you say, bring it. If not, kindly shut the fuck up.

Thanks for that brave and honest attempt at honest discourse Waddlie. Who could possibly resist?

You wouldn't know brave and honest discourse if it fucked you in the ear.
Professor Chaos posited a list of members he might want in a moderated thread. The list included you, who Professor Chaos has previously been really quite scathing about, and excluded Calpurnpiso, who he hasn't.
That you took this to mean I was back-stabbing, rather than commenting on a potentially amusing oddity about Professor's list, speaks only of your persecution complex rather than my cowardice. Get a fucking grip.

Your rage and grudge holding is comparable to Lily's, but the thing about Lily is - in addition to the anger, there is content.

Well it's not that funny. As you know your Uncle Phil is all about freedom of expression. Paradoxically, our Wild West approach to forumizing can sometimes thwart such freedoms. Take, for example, those members who might be reluctant to bother expressing themselves because of the inevitable deluge of non sequitur posts that often smother otherwise "serious" threads. Thus the original TFT was intended to accommodate freedom of expreshy, not to quash it.
The astute reader will note I characterized that thread as a "test" when it was launched. How'd we do?

That's a stretch of an analogy. If you ignore those posters you dislike, your only sense that they exist is the blip of scrolling over their post and any post that quotes them. It takes about a quarter second of self-control, at most. Don't tell me you can't handle that.

YHWH does. That thing has said some unbelievably stupid things that only a fake could post. The other two aren't, as far as I see, but it's ultimately your call.
