Seriously, are the leftist brats through spamming my moderate political opinions in the threads with nonsense or do I have to go on an all out counter-attack in leftist threads?

I think the people who posted nonsense to your threads got the message. What's good for the goose is good for the gander so to speak.

With all due respect Denise, I think that .......

a) Two wrongs dont make a right.
b) The scale of the response far outweighs the origonal "response" by a factor of about 10 re being bothersome.
c) Threats to completely wreck the forum You will never have another functioning thread on this forum again if you ever spam one of mine again. are simply appalling.

As a mod are you really happy to support this?

Personally I don't see the point of any of it from either "side" on a moderated board.

If someone has posted garbage to one's thread, isn't the appropriate choice to ask a moderator to step in, rather than compounding the problem?

He is spamming threads from people that had nothing to do with this.

Personally I think all the spam messages (including the original) should be removed, preferably by those that posted them.

JK is Israel.
People who spam his threads are the Arab League.
Israel wins again.
Arab League appeals to the UN.
UN (Mods) are split. Kofi blows his wig. Ventura says "Let 'em fight".

The problem is that it has been allowed for a long time. That is, people posting recipes etc. Besides, if the garbage was removed by a moderator, then the whole censorship thing would start again. So, we walk the tightrope. Jedi Knight has just as much right to post garbage to someone else's thread as the posters who post garbage to his thread. If nothing is done about the original garbage, then nothing should be done about his garbage. That's the way I look at it.

What is really amusing in all of this is that Jedi Knight, who prides himself on knowing how to push other peoples buttons to make them angry, has blown a gasket himself regarding this issue.

Reginald, Jedi Knight would not be allowed to wreck the forum. As for the scale of response- people have been posting garbage to Jedi's thread for months- so Jedi spamming a few threads is no comparison to me. If you don't believe me, do a search. I guess it's all subjective really. As for two wrongs not making a right. I think people can see how Jedi Knight feels now and I think he has a point. He is seen as a troll so it's "ok" to spam his threads. I think that it's wrong. If one doesn't agree and doesn't want to argue their side then one shouldn't post to his threads. If Hal disagrees with me, I'm sure I will get a public flogging! I definitely care about what everyone thinks on this issue. If I am proven wrong or you change my mind I will publically state so. Thanks!

In all fairness, you where the one that started the spamming in his thread if you can’t debate the issue logically then find a thread you can.
I don’t agree with the rout JK took to handle this but I do understand his anger.

Attention whore keep your promises, threats:

"I will drop in from time to time but will no longer contribute to the forum. I am off to pursue a forum where there is less hate and hopefully more people who share my views and beliefs.

Jedi "There is a God" Knight 11-12-02"

Its a shame you've been put up with.

"I'm just new here but I'm stricken by the fact that certain people....you know who they are, and so do they.....have, in effect, hijacked this forum. They don't share any of the values expressed by the sponsoring organization. Its one thing to debate, but its another to babble, start with a conclusion and try to make all the facts fit to support it.
Read Randi's notice at the top of each topic, wherein he cautions against debating with unreasonable people as being a waste of time.
Much of what is posted by these people reminds me of a great item by Scott Adams of "Dilbert" fame:
"You are Wrong Because:
For, your convenience, I have checked the brain malfunction(s) that most closely resemble(s) the one(s) that you recently exhibited on the topic of: (fill in the blank)....."
He then goes on to list a number of them: "Amazingly Bad Analogy", "Faulty Cause and Effect", "Total Logical Disconnect", and give examples of each.
I am awaiting Scott's permission to share the whole of it with you...it is from his book "The Joy of Work."
Trying to follow the logic of the insane will drive you insane, and, dissipate your energy in the meantime, as Randi notes.
Once you identify someone with one of these brain disorders, it is best to ignore them and have a real discussion of the facts (note Randi's refusal to continue with "S&S" in another section.)
"Thinking is the hardest work of all, that's why so few of us engage in it."---Emerson
"A conclusion is the place where we got tired of thinking."---Arthur Block
"We see and hear what we expect to see and hear."----Thoreau
Oh, another Scott Adam's point from "You are wrong" that is particularly relevant here:
"Circular reasoning---example: I'm correct because I'm smarter than you. And I must be smarter than you because I'm correct."

By the way "I love everybody, especially you."---Lyle Lovett

But I'll never forgive you for putting up with me---apologies to Mose "

Post one place where anyone asked you to come back.
And if they did, why would you if this is such a hateful place that doesn't share your "ideals'?
Because no one else would tolerate you? Because you can't find anywhere else that shares those "ideal"? Or what?

I got tons of PM's asking me to come back. You seem to be the only person who has a problem with it sub-man. I am starting to think that perhaps you don't like me or something.

Whether or not you do or not is irrevelant to the 1st Amendment. You above all people should know that.

No, that is not justification. The courts can sort out justification.

What you are talking about is cause/effect. Some people can be on the right side of cause and effect, and some people can be on the wrong side of cause and effect.

For example, many leftists on the forum say that Israel would not have suicide bombers blowing up their citizens with nail bombs if they would just give their country away to terrorists. That is the wrong side of cause and effect to stand on.

The right side is to stand with Israel and say that the people who are bombing them with nail bombs are wrong.

See how it works? Sub-man brought up situations where I commented on leftist cause/effect and he didn't like it so he accused me of "justifying" violence. Using his moronic logic, that would mean all the leftists on this forum who think that Israel deserves nail-bombs justify violence against Jews.

It is all cause/effect and there is always a right side and a wrong side to stand on the issue.

So was the violence dealt out to king by the police justified?Did he deserve it?


Also the opinions you put in the mouths of "leftists" are rarely anything like the opinions people actually state. Can you show anywhere here a statement by anyone that Israeli citizens deserve to be blown up? You are using straw men.

Another thing thats becoming really tiresome, and one of the reasons that people spam your threads and don't take your views seriously is this constant paranoia regarding "leftists".

You are quick to brand virtually anything as leftist or anti-semitism but try this little exercise.....go back over your last weeks posts and substitute the word "jews" for "leftists" If you were to then readback your posts you would conclude that the writer was paranoid, in the Goebbels style.

Jedi, you are no Nazi but you use thier method of hate rhetoric all the time. Honestly, lately, If you were short changed on a bus it would be a leftist terrorist conspiracy...lighten up a bit?

AUP uses that logic all the time about Israel. You are using selective memory.

No, it applies to the left. Look at the mess the world is in because leftists wanted to destroy the State of Israel. If the UN leftists left Israel alone, the US wouldn't be invading Iraq right now. But leftists encouraged the Palestinians and Al-Qaida to attack the US and Israel. If leftists ask for war and I merely point out how they are asking for it, when the US goes to war, there is war, right? Yep.

I call it like I see it. People spammed my posts because they contained irrefutable truth of what I talk about. If you are going to tell people to lighten up, you need to tell the radical leftists to lighten up. I am perhaps the only arch-conservative on the thread. You give me too much credit and are just trying to detract from the rampant leftist opinion here. I can not only disagree with leftist opinion, but I can point out why I disagree with it.

Also, look what you and others have to do lol. You can't debate the things I talk about, no. You have to attack me. That doesn't make for debate and only keeps me churning along as being right.

There is really no answer to this sort of stuff. "leftists" want to destroy israel? This is the reason the world is in "a mess"? "leftists" are behind Palestinians and Al-Qaida?? Leftists ask for war???????????? Leftists, leftists, leftists....

Jedi. this is conspiracy theory stuff...lets all find a nice convenient mystery group of evil dudes to blame for all our problems.

All I can do is leave you wrapped in your security blanket of conspiracy theories. Safe in the knowledge that the US and Israel are right in everything they do, never make mistakes, have no flaws and that all blame lies in the hands of a shadowy mysterious underground conspiracy called "The Leftists"...whatever. When you hung out in R&P it was the underground conspiracy of evil Atheists that were to blame for all the worlds problems...Now you are sticking to the politics thread the Leftists are now the evil conspiracy again, oh well, at least the atheists get to have a break from causing all the trouble.

I truly wish he had friends and family that could gently nudge him to treatment. Obviously none of them, if he has any, agree with him, just as he cannot cite any of the "numerous" PM's that "invited him back" after labelling this forum one of hatred, and promising to leave.
I have previously expressed my personal care and concern for him as an individual, and I continue that, but will not tolerate behavior that crosses the bounds of civility. I can and do seperate the behavior from the individual, who I love and respect as a fellow human.
