Please, please make this your signature or CUT. Lol.

I'd say his current CUT broadcasts the same concept.

I'm sure Para won't have to do much moderating once the thread opens up....

You can see now, guys, why I created this thread.

When I open the other thread, anyone not following my guidelines will be on the receiving end of discplinary action, up to and including banishment from the forum. I'm not going to babysit adults. I'm going to be heartless and unfair, because I cannot have made myself any clearer in this thread.

Gonna be a couple of days- at least- until the thread is created. The clear and unambiguous statements I made in the first post of this thread are just not penetrating through the concrete craniums of some here.

For the gung ho type, just in case:

In that thread, there should be no threats or bold talk. Leave the bluster to the other side.

Take deep breaths Para. Your admonishments were only lost on one...

Wednesday, at the earliest

Please clarify what you mean by content.

Ho-ly smokes

Srsly?

From the Original Post:

quote:

This thread you're in right now is NOT intended to be used for discussion of these riots, looting, assault and murder of citizen and police officers alike.

This thread you're in right now is intended to inform you that this week I will create a thread regarding these matters, and ALL content related to the insurrection must be posted only in that thread.

(Increased emphasis added)

In this context: content n. 3. all that is contained or dealt with in a discussion, piece of writing, etc; substance. 4. the information, material, etc presented on a website or other digital medium.

How can you possibly have failed to understand that this thread is an announcement that the thread which has yet to be created is to be the repository of all civil unrest discussion--which includes, but is not limited to, news, opinion, questions, etc., and that this thread is to contain none of it?

My. Lord.

Two, actually, but one caught on after only one "did you actually read the OP" follow-up.

Looking forward to the thread. Thanks!

Yes, looking forward to it. SF is one of my primary sources of credible information as well as links to more. Thanks, Para.

Read & understood after first reading.
Look forward to reading new thread.
Thanks, Para.

Roger that El Jefe.

Glad to have a community to inform and discuss.

I have been largely in the dark about protests and riots because I don't watch TV news, and get most of my news from here. I will soon get my daily updates here, at Sigforum. And I believe that WE will prevail over these "protests" because they are based on lies and leftist ideology, a foundation that will lose.

. But, it’s going to a hard road to travel with the Media on their side. I think the Media will have to be defeated in their actions first.

Understood and Thank you.

Calm.

Ocean.






It works. Have gotten others to recite it.

Got it.

Got it, thank you Para!

Perhaps make this announcement a sticky so late arrivals will see it?

Or to use less real estate a link at beginning of opening post. He’s done that before and is pretty savvy at this by now...

Should I rename my thread " My Letter to Portland's Spineless Mayor " to "The Portland, OR Riots and insurrection?"

It seems to be a good start to what's going on there.

Tony.

Don't rename anything, please.

And no one needs to worry about anyone who posts in the thread I'm going to create, seeing this thread we're in now.

What's going to get members in trouble is when I see that they've looked at the subject line of the thread I'm going to create, and went immediately into posting to it, without reading even the first post of the thread. This occurs, most certainly it does, and I can see when it occurs, and I am here to tell you that I have had it with that kind of behavior, and you probably will get the chance to see a member or two smacked hard for pulling that shit.

Not only this thread and the thread to be created, but all threads in this forum- I am going to start coming down hard on members who can't be bothered to read the thread. And don't tell me about how difficult it is to read through a 50 page thread. Some of you can't be bothered to read the last post in a thread, or even the very first post in a thread.

I've told you guys before and I'm telling you again- if there's a long thread and you can't read it all, scroll down the pages and look for my avatar. Stop when you see it and at least read those posts, and this goes double when I am the author of the thread. Over and over and over again, members fail to even scan the thread and miss posts from me that will keep them out of hot water.

The mode of communicaton in this forum is the written word. Some of you guys need to get this through your heads. Pay attention to what's been posted in a thread before you post to it and all will be well.

Thank you for putting the wheels in motion for us to discuss this topic.
