Decent conversation not full of the bs that is left open with arguments, fear and tin foil hat type stuff.

I feel singled out and being preyed upon on this site. Wth is up with that ?

Well, you will be now.

Sometimes things get closed.

Could be a similar thread, could be a tired subject, could be the mods just dont want to see it.

Best thing is to move along quietly. Whoa as me wont fly....

No idea why it was closed, but the owner decided it should be so. Probably better off asking him directly instead of looking for pity.

The only people that I have seen that were "singled out and preyed upon on this site," deserved it to an extreme. I don't think you have reached that point, yet. I suggest just dropping it. It's not a big deal.

Honest question - have you had other threads closed, or just this single incident...?

Well, miracle of freaking miracles. Do I have your attention now?

https://sigforum.com/eve/forums...935/m/8400084264/p/2

Why in the world would I allow free use of this resource to someone who flat-out refuses to respond to questions from the forum's owner?

You ignored my questions to you when you interfered in the Tracking Dorian thread and you ignored my questions to you when you made an outrageous statement in the thread I just linked to. I am your host. This is my house. And I am supposed to- what- just let it slide when you say stuff I disapprove of and then refuse to respond to my questions?

And I'm peggin' it at a 50/50 chance that you'll again clam up in this thread. What's it gonna be? You want maybe I should get somebody in here who knows sign language?

"Preyed upon"?? You can't be bothered to respond to the owner of this forum! I locked your thread in order to get your attention and it's ridiculous that I had to go to such lengths to do so. What color is the sky in your world? Are you actually expecting me to believe that you are truly this clueless?

Preyed upon? I am not expecting anything from you that I do not expect from all members of this forum- namely, that when I ask you a question, I expect a response. Do you actually find that to be unreasonable? What am I, a doormat? This forum, what, just appeared out of nowhere and runs itself?

Preyed upon? I've locked exactly one of your threads. One. And that's when I've twice failed to get a response from you. You could have avoided all of this by simply having the courtesy to not ignore the owner of this forum.

This is a great place.
Pay attention. Answer Para if he asks you a question. Stick around.
Sometimes threads get locked. It's happened to most of us.
Don't take it personal.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

"Decent conversation"- that's his thread he's referring to.

"arguments, fear and tin foil hat type stuff"- that's the other content on the board. So, let's see-

  • arguments- No, let's have a discussion forum in which everyone agrees about everything. No arguments allowed. Watching paint dry would be a more interesting pursuit than being a member of a discussion forum in which there are no disagreements. And, as we all know, this forum does not have an adminstrator who steps in quickly when bickering begins, right? Right.

  • fear- Two main aspects of this: gun control fears and general fears about political uncertainly and losses to forces in this nation which seek to damage America and Americans.

    Any regular member of this forum has seen me- time and time again- shut down the "They're going to take our guns" threads. Time and time and time again. There is no disputing this.
    The same goes for "President Trump will be impeached or President Trump will lose in 2020" threads. No one in this forum has expressed more open defiance of our enemies and no one in this forum has made more repeated attempts to bolster the patriots of this forum than I.

    Fear? Quite the opposite, actually. Utterly ridiculous.

  • tin foil hat type stuff- Oh, my. Once again, no one in this forum is less of a conspiracy theorist than I. Indisputable. What's also indisputable is that I shut down conspiracy theory threads or individual posts touting conspiracy theories in a New York minute. Time and time and time again, I have demonstrated this. No one can deny what I am saying about this. Demonstrably factual. End of story.

    But this is what the OP thinks of the tenor of this board, thinks of the content of this board, and thinks of its administration. And, yes, once again, he's fled the premises, because responding to the owner of this forum is simply beneath his Royal Fucking Majesty. After all, this place is merely a self-maintaining machine.

    And yet, he dains to slum with us here. Curious, wouldn't you say?

    Under Para's guidance this site has been an unwavering patriot and supporter of President Trump. It's a place I'm proud and grateful to be a member. Smile

    You can see how he got on my radar:

    https://sigforum.com/eve/forums...070007064#5070007064

    I don't want to pull the member he was referring to into this, but whether or not that member was right or wrong about whatever had no bearing on my decision to tell that member to cool it for a while. The plain and simple fact of the matter is that the postings of the member in question were causing their posts to be reported to me and those posts were riling up other in the thread. I had no dog in the fight. I just wanted for the noise to cease, and the OP of the thread we're in right now decided to comment on the matter and missed entirely the reasons for my actions. Most members of this forum know that they should not interfere when I direct someone to do or not do something, whether or not they agree with my request. He failed to respond to me in that thread.

    Then, he comes into a thread about people winning karmas but not having the decency to follow up and says this:
    quote:
    I don't get notifications to threads nor pm's to my gmail ...
    This site won't send em.
    So If I don't get a personal email I'd never know.
    Good grief. Then don't freaking enter karmas if you can't be bothered to do the burdensome task of a couple of mouse clicks to see if you've won! Damn!

    So, I ask about this, and what does he do? He does what you see him doing now. He simply ignores me.

    He could have avoided this customized ass-kicking he's getting from me right now if he had simply spoken up and said "OK, I understand" or something to that effect. That's all he had to do. But, instead, he's being "preyed upon", you see.

    Ghosting the site’s owner... probably not a wise course of action, OP.

    Perhaps he hasn’t signed back on to his own thread tonight to realize he has been questioned by Para......or perhaps he has, given the examples of non-response in the past.
    It’s not smart to ignore the owner of anything that one enjoys and this place certainly is special.....I would think after 3 years on this board he would know the lay of the land by now.
    If a regular member has asked him a question and had the same lack of response...well, I would consider that to be just rude at a basic level....some people don’t like confrontation but being all ghostly will only ramp it up. Smarter and easier to just have a conversation
