Mods Gone Wild

[Tiassa]

Counting gray hairs

Just one question - how did you end up a member? It's just so, so, not Tiasssa like...

I was invited, as were many of the first generation of members. When Dave was ready to launch, he spammed everyone in the guest book at his former site for the Alberta UFO Research Association.

Beyond that, I'll only note that I don't need an invitation to post a picture of a midget humping a giant laser. I mean, you know ... any excuse will do.

I suppose it's more like a young Tiassa, but I'm not waiting on a pyrologist to come and shake me out of middle-age doldrums.

You consider this respectful?

I consider it adequately respectful in consideration of the context, yes. I am not going to be more respectful to someone than they themselves are of other people. Also, I don't agree with anything of what you just said; sorry.

 

[Liebling]

And now we see the attraction of social groups: Mini-Mod.

Well, on the good side of that... we'll know who not to make a moderator, right?

I'm actually impressed with his athleticism though. Who knew hubris could set world records in the long jump, and the high jump. It kind of reminds me of a young Wanderer, with a bit less intelligence. Should we put him on Insanity Watch now, or do you think he can learn?

I consider it hypocritical to not extend the same courtosey to others that you expect them to extend to you and complain about them not doing so :shrug:.

As for not agreeing with me.

That's nice, and good on ya mate.

Thanks for stopping by. Get some help, soon.

Would you care to give me the name of your psychiatrist so I know who to avoid? :/

 

[WillNever]

Start by avoiding the couple of no-brained, dimestore psychiatrists in this very thread.

 

[visceral_instinct]

High Society... you really named the group High Society and expect people to think you were serious?

This is going to be a featured spot in The Onion, right?

Your comments are so rife with contradiction and posturing it makes it laughable. If you could remove your ego for one second, and reread your statements of intent vs. your actual responses you might find yourself laughing as much as we are at yourself.

The fact that you claim to "censure disrespectful voices" undermines the entire idea of free speech at it's core. A real leader, one who wasn't bloated on pride and ego, would realize that people who differ from your opinion aren't people who don't care... They care enough to say something. Real leaders fill their cabinets with people with differing voices that so that they get a more rounded opinion from the vox populi, and not just the ones who smile and nod. It's the blind followers that will toddle off and form a coup with the next gallant piper that comes strolling into town who talks bigger than you. And there is always someone bigger and brighter than you.

You have a lot to learn, my budding little bourgeoisie. Take your lackeys back to your sitting room and have a spot of tea and discuss your next approach. This one is clearly not working.

Ummm, I actually had a huge disagreement with WillNever on the subject of the ideal body type for women, but he invited me to join the group anyway...

Indeed. I've had some serious disagreements with several members of the group at one time or another, including SAM and Norsefire as well. However, I think all of us have set a precedent for intellectual conversation in spite of our ideological differences.

There's an irony in here somewhere, I'm sure of it.

 

[Gustav]

yay
fodder!

This post is at best libelous.

i trust you did what you do best.......snitch!

[Gustav]

We don't need it and we don't deserve it -- so we'll do without it.

i say!
you go, lord hillyer!

[Pinwheel]

Who is Lord Hillyer?

 

[Bells]

Bells, the majority of the group has already gone on record as seconding my statement in this thread.

Really? Where?

Thus far I see members stepping away and not making eye contact, with the exception of a few sycophants.

So where are they "seconding" your statement after you posted it?

However, this thread does not include "all issues in this forum" so you may want to rephrase your question.

Of course. As you aptly advised your members. If they want the 'horde' to rush in and support them, then they merely need to post a link and their stance and the rest will follow and blindly support, right? So much for free opinions.

You seem to believe something is wrong with the post in that link. Care to expound..?

I think it speaks for itself.

I would suggest that you clearly identify when you do speak for your little lackeys and when you do represent them. I doubt your members would support your more, racist tendencies, for lack of a better term, on this forum.

It will be interesting to see how this pans out in the future. I wonder how you will react when one of your members gives the rallying bellow for help in a thread.. oh, I'm sorry, for "support" in a thread and said thread has them discussing why blacks are not inferior. I trust, as their apparent leader, that you will lead the way in offering that support to said member(s)? In fact, I would strongly urge all of your members to ask for your help in supporting them and their argument in a thread when it has anything to do with fighting against the sometimes outright racism on this forum and on issues like fighting against a deluded stance on the bodily image of women, as another example.

I, for one, sense good times and many laughs up ahead. Thus far, you and your social group have provided some of the best laughs in this thread and on this forum for a long time! For that, I thank you.

 

[Mrs.Lucysnow]

Nay, I deny the significance of it. Lucysnow: if you felt that my original statement did not represent you, you should have said, in this thread, "This statement by the group does not represent my opinion, personally." Instead of doing that, you have tried to disrespect the group and myself in general in a very lengthy post followed by this even more lengthy discussion. That leads me to believe that your intentions in this thread are not noble... and that they probably never were from the moment you joined our group.

If you disagreed with the group's position, then you could have left. You didn't do that, however, which is how I know that you disagree with my positions purely for the sake of fueling your irrational dislike of SAM -- since that was what my post in this thread addressed. If you had read the group description, then you would know that we are supposed to avoid such pettiness. You have flown against that ideal, which is why I have removed you from the group.

It was only significant when you brought it up.

LOL! Sam? Again you bring up sam. Are you piggy backing on Sam? I had nothing to say of Sam simply responding to YOU! You are really a trip. Not only did I bother to read your group description I even reposted it here. I did disagree in this thread but you are such a control freak you are now going to try and tell me HOW I should disagree!

Don't talk to me of nobility you tool! The last two members who spoke in such terms made asses of themselves at the end and it was nothing short of classless. If you took the time to look through this thread I had no comment to make save for your blanket group statement. Out of 16 members I only saw a handful who cared to concur to your statement, I mean there were 16 members and what six or seven cared to post. But...

Whatever. I don't care enough for your group to be bothered. As a matter of fact for someone so concerned about intelligent 'free minded' discussion its interesting that you haven't spent any time creating any intelligent threads for anyone to discuss within your 'high society'.

Rather you spend your time masturbating over sciforums moderation.

Go on with your infalted ego. As the Khmers like to say 'if you sit by the Tonle Sap long enough eventually you will see the body of a dead fool float by'.

Liebling dear he is much less intelligent than Wanderer and a social climber to boot. I don't think he is staid enough to be a part of the bourgeoisie, he's more like the nouveau riche all bloated and tacky.

*yawn*

Who is Lord Hillyer?

A formerly banned user for one (banned in 2007).

 

[WillNever]

Really? Where?

Pages 9-11, mainly. Read it and weep.

I think it speaks for itself.

You haven't said what you think is wrong with it. Why am I not surprised?

 

[WillNever]

Whatever. I don't care enough for your group to be bothered.

Methinks thou dost protest too much, lucysnow. Your actions in this thread indicate otherwise.

 

[WillNever]

Who is Lord Hillyer?

A banned user that a couple people on the board have at some point conflated into being myself (along with one other person, I'm told). Sometimes people like to fuse all of their people they dislike into one archetype and then lash back in that way. It's a coping mechanism.

However, I found evidence a little while back to suggest that Gustav himself may have always been Lord Hillyer.

What? 3? Or was it 4?

*Snort*

You haven't said what you think is wrong with it. Why am I not surprised?

It is racist. I would have thought someone with such a high opinion of your own intelligence would have been able to discern that, when you made it and now.
