I honestly don't think he would. For once he is standing up on principle plus making a case he has repeatedly made since ownership changed.
It's an interesting question, actually. Can anybody explain why Dinner and flashlight haven't been banned? I know of know interest in banning either of them, but the entire theory banded about regarding gturner completely fails when the two of them have not been banned. Maybe, just maybe, it has nothing to do with how anybody personally regards gturner and his, shall we say, unique views. I'll wait.
I didn't lie. I didn't undermine anything. I don't care what you think about my credibility. I enjoyed giving you every single one of those dump reps, and would have gleefully given you 10,000 more. Because despite us being on the same side of the fence the past few days, overall I think you're an insufferable twat. *If* what's I'm referring to is setting up my own board, what makes you think the only source of potential members I could draw from is Wordforge? Sorry, but you don't know the first thing about any of my other internet activities. What I can say with 100% certainty is that *if* what I'm referring to is setting up my own board, you'd be welcome. As would anyone else here.
After the first few days of rep spamming I told you I was putting you on ignore. I did. So you invested hundreds of hours over months and months "enjoying" giving dumb reps that I never saw. I have to say, that's a bizarre thing to find enjoyment in. If you had loads of people to attract to a new board you wouldn't have to wait for this drama to set it up. I wouldn't dream of setting foot on a board run by you....and if you can't understand how low your reputation is on here, then you'll only be doomed to waste your time pointlessly....not that you aren't an expert on that already.
We both know why you have not criticised what has gone on, but given the fact that the majority of the board disagreed with this clusterfuck - including many people who are generally fair and balanced - and given that there were similar events that took place while you were gone (like the discouragement saga), and given that there were two bannings outside the rules, and given that whatever your personal opinion is, they, or at least Gul, have post popular support - you think we just STFU and go on the same?
God, this is insufferable. THIS RIGHT HERE is why you are and always have been unsuitable in the role of mod, let alone owner. You are arrogance personified. You're not interested in that fact that you've totally lost any shred of credibility. You're not interested in the fact that much of what you are getting heat over is not so much your opinion of gturner, which some of us shared, but your elevation of him to public enemy number one and banning of him when he didn't break the rules. You can peddle your bullshit all you want, but the problem lies in your arrogant refusal to accept that you may be wrong. Gturner was an annoyance, but what you are making him out to be, namely the worst thing in the history of WF and a direct threat to the future of the board, is weak sauce. He is no more a threat than half a dozen other people, including you...and no evidence has been provided to support this bullshit claim that he was driving people off, which you still haven't justified.
I didn't criticise it, because I was for it. I just would have straight up dropped the ban on his ass, no pussyfooting around with a new forum. He'd just be gone. I think your personal animus towards @gul has clouded your judgement. You are now allied to the people who think "Nigger" "Faggot" and Nazism are not only acceptable forms of disagreement, but laudatory ones. Hell, when Castle thinks you're right, it's at that moment that you need to question if in fact you are. Sorry, man. But I think you're on the wrong side of this.
And that's why I couldn't support your suggestion. It's unfair. Ha ha, no. Only overgrown children think of any of this in terms of allies. I didn't think you were like that. Why are those people supporting my comments? Because many of them dislike Gul's politics. I never asked them to or courted their support - and spare me the "if Castle thinks you're right" crap. Castle thinks anyone who criticises Gul is right because Gul is the one who banned him. Saying "look at who disagrees" in no way proves the criticism is invalid or makes me think that your way was the right way, and you must surely have recoginsed that many people who were not like likes of Flashy or Volprat also criticised the handling of this. Stallion, spaceturkey, Mrs Albert, Granbdtheftcow, Zombie, Paladin, Zor Prime, Ten Lubak and so on. Are these the allies you're talking about? Of course you do, for the reasons you know full well. But you also knew I wasn't a conscript to the idea before you can talk of allies.
Would you also execute someone on a whim because you found him disagreeable? Would you disregard the US Constitution because it did not suit your fancy? What of your personal animus towards gturner? Could you be any more of a faggot, nigger? The proper side is the one that integrates elements of the extremes to generate something in the middle, IMHO.
That is why so few have any regard for him as a mod. He just isn't made of the right stuff pkus his attitude and ego are all wrong.
Well, yeah. That's where all the Deplorables gather to make plans to subvert freedom and what not. It is indeed quite serious business.
No, but I'd take someone down if they were trying to hump my dog. Wordforge is my dog and gturner was on it's leg and moving towards it's culo. I don't really have any. I think he's pretty funny and about a 1/5th of his post are very good for discussion and his stuff outside of the RR is also good. But the other 4/5ths? Pure disruption, designed to sour the user experience here. His post at TK show he is aware of what he was doing, and the effect he was having. His attitudes mirror Enterpriser's from my PM communications with him all of those years ago, that's it's startling. I feel he's exactly like Enterpriser, I know the havoc he created at TBBS. I didn't want it happening here with gturner. So he had to go. Probably. No, the proper side is my side.
Why don't you just start a thread that just says "long term members are lumps of shit and I'm perfect"?
Because I wouldn't want to taint the others by associating them with you. Your issue here is personal, fine, that's you're right and prerogative. But you couldn answer the question. Quite revealing.
Yeah, he was just a poor little poster. He wasn't out to fuck with the board at all, a la Enterpriser.
