I got so sick of P&N that I removed it from my forum list

[Adul]

i am affraid to step in there

 

[Yossarian]

thanks for the reminder of that cool feature... I just blocked P&N, SFF, highly technical, peripherals, and tech support.

 

[LordJezo]

I like to go in there, get Conjur all riled up over my super right wing views, and then leave for a few days as the fight rages on.

I removed it from my list today as well..

I can at least detect your sarcasm. I really don't think there's much sarcasm in P&N anymore. I think there's a lot of trolling, though, and that SHOULD be bannable, i.e heartsurgeon

 

[JulesMaximus]

Yeah, I never go in there. Bunch of opinionated dipsh!ts and maybe a small handful of people who actually know something.

 

[JulesMaximus]

BTW-I consider myself a moderate conservative.

The know nothing dipsh!ts I was referring to are the extremists on both sides though (just more so on the left).

It used to be 90% liberal dominated. In the past four months you've seen a very extremist conservative move in it. People like LordMagnusKain and especially heartsurgeon just represent such an extreme idealogoy that, if indeed what they say they believe is what they actually believe....I'm really scared. But I really, genuinely think that they are just trolling, and that no one can possibly live in this country and be so blind to what's actually going on that they believe everything they say they believe. The fact that this shift has popped up at once leads me to think it's older members trolling for the purpose of trolling and getting a rise out of people.

At least CAD comes up with some reasonable arguments. I can take what he has as a valid viewpoint even though I think he writes off facts that work against his opinions as irrelevant details...like the lack of WMDs for instance. And then you have people like Dave that are the most paranoid conspiracy theorists I have EVER seen. They assume that the entire system is working against them, that every company out there is focused on screwing over every employee and that in every sector of the economy, a cartel exists to keep everything out of the reach of the citizens. They genuinely believe that the world is haded towards destruction in the next decade, that everything now is so much better off than it was fifty years ago, and that America is going to self-implode at the hands of the Exxon-Mobil oil cartel and at the dairy farms for the price of milk.

Oh, yea, and they use the same fscking cliches over, and over again. The tin foil beanie reference is so worn out that it makes me cry. It is used no less than an average of ten times per thread. Or the 'I want to sell you a bridge' cliche. Using them doesn't make you smart, and to the extent that a handful of members use them makes me want to st4b them in the face.

When it was 90% liberal dominated (your figure and terms) you had no problem with the constant Bush is the antichrist/evil/stupid/dumb endless postings? It seems to me that many object to what goes on in P&N only when it is their ox being gored (no pun intended).

I don't agree with the Zebos of the forum. Not at all. Nor do I agree with the Daves that blame Bush for everything wrong in their lives for the last fifty years. But there were just a HANDFUL of people a year or so ago (like the two I just mentioned) that I would consider extremists, and they were easy to ignore, they usually started their own threads rather than replying in eveyone elses.
Now you can't read a single thread without heartsurgeon/kain/others that completely lack any and all reason and are nothing but trolls. If you can't see this happening at an increasing pace, I pity you.

And I partially fault the mods for such thinly veiled trolling to go on too. You can't really think HS actually is anything but one, so why isn't he banned yet? I'd ban dave too for the same reasons. That and excessive cliche use, which should be bannable by itself.

 

[jjones]

I like when UltraQuiet decides to let someone know what he thinks of them. That's always good for a laugh. :beer: to you Dave. 😀

 

[Squisher]

It's funny that you didn't seem to have a problem when it was liberal dominated, but now that a more conservative element is voicing their views they're obviously trolls.

Did you get a few of your views challenged?

Extremism breeds extremism and even you said the liberals started it.

Naw, no such thing as Conspiracies right? Try being in the middle of one sometime, that'll change your tune real fast. 😕

I've seen and heard things that would obviously make your head explode on contact, what a shame.

Oddly enough it was not "corporate thugs" that caused your problems. It was the unchecked power of government that so many seem to love that caused your misery.

They are hand in hand. The Corp Thugs own the Govt Zombies. I would say more but don't want those Helicopters overhead again 😉

 

[Bleep]

Just enjoy the intellectual excercise.

I have not seen a intellectual in that forum yet! only phonies like that Heartsurgeon guy, what a phony he is not a surgeon but a phony that thinks by calling himself something that he is not makes him more creditable. Some over there seems to think that demonizing others makes their point of view more valid than others. DaveM has never ever that I know of ever posted anything that was not the truth, kill the messenger is the motto. Moonbeam= very smart and good at making his point without insults or name calling or demonizing, for this he takes a load of crap. Cad is also a phony that at one time stated that he is a program writer for a huge company that writes programs for power plants, I think he is still working in a little booth as a online tech support person, it is really sad that the moderators have not clamped down on the personal insults and threats that are made in the P&N forum.

Bleep

If at were a building, we could wait for peak hour in the P&N wing, then shut all the doors and keep them prisoner. Hmm... you could have an airlock door, so that people coming in off of peak hour get trapped too. :evil:

😛

 

[nageov3t]

sarcasm and the internet don't mix. it's just too hard to convey a sarcastic tone, and people end up taking your seriously.

It was your own fault, dave. You broke COMMON SENSE! I read your entire web site and followed the whole thing as it happened and I didn't think you had been the victim of ANYTHING. Maybe their punishment was a little bit extreme but you knew they weren't your property.

 

[dgm]

If the P&N board here is too extreme for you.... try http://www.npboards.com/

 

[FrustratedUser]

I am gonna post a thread saying they all $uck.

What's your take on that? Just for the laughs.

 

[Dissipate]

Ok, now I know why beer attacked my thread about government currency being in OT.
