Lucy: most members of the group have gone on record agreeing with my statement in this thread. If you feel that my words do not represent you, then you are im the minority. You are allowing your longstanding dislike of SAM affect your thinking.
You know it has something to do with 'free thought and opinion'
There is an us vs. them mentality brought on by yapping dogs, insane bigots and dishonest potheads who've lost their relevance and are furiously trying to make themselves relevant again.
Dislike? Hardly.
Lucysnow: "free thought and opinion" does not mean "everyone must always be disagreeing with each other on all topics all of the time," nor does it mean "no one may form a consensus on any topic whatsoever."
I can tell you what freedom of thought DOES mean however. It means (among other things) not posting a disagreeing viewpoint against somebody based PURELY on your personal dislike for that person, when that dislike is irrelevant to the actual topic at hand. Right now, you are flying against that ideal due to your history of argumentation with SAM, who between you there is a history of the use of the ignore function. That doesn't bode so well.

Good pont... which reminds me of how black people was treeted in my 'ol Kentuky home when i was a kid... an they wasnt "Disliked" ether... well... as long as they knew ther place an stayed in it... which included not goin inside a resturant to eat.!!!
Ther was 1 black guy... "Jack"... who woud somtims stan outside my gran-maws resturant aroun dinner time... an when we noticed him we woud take him a plate-lunch an he woud eat it out on the sidewalk while standin up... she woud invite him in but he never woud (he knew his place)... he woud jus slide the plate inside the door when he was done... yep... Jack wasnt Disliked ether.!!!
So you are telling her that her free thoughts are wrong because you don't agree with what she is saying because you feel her dislike of Sam clouds her judgement.. In other words, it is only a 'free thought' if it agrees with what you think and feel..
Then you should not have requested to join, Lucysnow. However, this group is not about "mob rule" or any of other idiotic things you are imagining. The handful of people in the group does not constitute a "mob" and our way of thinking is un-moblike. We are highly calm and highly rational -- unlike the emotional state you are exhibiting now. As well, my statement does not require you recognize me as your leader. However, if you feel that the group statement does not represent you, then that's okay: it simply means you aren't truly in the group and probably never were. That actually bodes well for the rest of us, because that means we are divorced from whatever your self-serving goals appear to be.Lucysnow said:When did I even mention Sam? I said simply wrote that being the person who started High Society doesn't give you the right to speak for me. So it was you I am not aligned to and disagree with.
If you check this thread you won't see reference to Sam anywhere. You are not my 'leader' just because you started a stupid group.
GET IT?
This mob rule shit is bullshit and totally not in line with my character. So if you think you can somehow brow beat me into accepting your stupid rant you are quite mistaken. I suggest you look elsewhere if its a sycophant you want.
I didn't request you invited me. And my remarks were not about Sam so stop pretending as if they were. There was a request from James for the members of the group to state whether they have all signed aboard this thing you're on about. I said my piece and stand by it. Whatever little gripe you have with the admin has nothing to do with me. And as I have said before I don't allow other people to state opinions on my behalf. Period.
However, this group is not about "mob rule" or any of other idiotic things you are imagining.
WillNever said:Is there a thread on Sciforums where you would like your fellow members in High Society to weigh in..? Post the title and link in this discussion thread, and we'll see what we can do.
As well as posting the title and link, post here both a summary of your stance in the thread and a summary of the stance you are arguing against.

WillNever said:ALERT. ALERT. ALERT. Due to unfair moderation practices, I urge EVERY member of High Society to take part in the thread "Mods Gone Wild" located in SF Open Government forum. In that thread, a discussion is taking place on the alleged unfair moderation practices of James R and some other forum-fatigued moderators who are letting their jaded, cynical, and prejudicial expectations of users of the board to dictate their acts of moderation. I view this as a serious violation of High Societal values and therefore, I believe it would be UNPRINCIPLED of us to not decry these acts in a large, bold voice.
I REPEAT: I would like EVERY member of High Society to take up this call to arms and voice their annoyance, outrage, or violation of values in that thread. Whether you agree with the personal views of the involved parties (SAM, Tiassa, etc) or not, this is one of those times where we must rise to the call in UNISON and show these bums that we are not going to be bullied.

So your "call to arms" to "every member" is what exactly?The handful of people in the group does not constitute a "mob" and our way of thinking is un-moblike.
I laughed reading this. And then laughed some more when I read through the posts in said group.We are highly calm and highly rational -- unlike the emotional state you are exhibiting now.
I am laughing even more now..As well, my statement require you recognize me as your leader.
So you have the approval of the other members that you do speak for them?However, if you feel that the group statement does not represent you, then that's okay:
So if they do not abide by your feelings and your opinions, or do not agree to have you speak on their behalf, they are not 'truly in the group'? What is this? Sciforums Survivor?it simply means you aren't truly in the group and probably never were.
Who is this "we" and "us" of which you speak? And do they all accept and agree to have you as their public mouthpiece on all issues in this forum?That actually bodes well for the rest of us, because that means we are divorced from whatever your self-serving goals appear to be.
You're just a following fool and can just fuck off for all I care.
You don't even know how to comprehend a post you wanker.

I rest my case.
You know, Will, in the image you provided, the title of the message is, "Re: Lucy". If Lucy goes back and shows us the record of the message(s) that came before that—because "Re:" is the default reply title—what will that original message show?

The subject title is "Lucy" written originally by Lucysnow. Opening the message brings up the "re:" because it opens a reply box automatically. Thanks for stopping by.
