    She started a thread asking TBBS to stop sending idiots over.

    Don't be mean, Anna strongly believes in "diversity" (insofar as it conforms precisely to the picture in her narrow mind of just what *she* thinks that word means).

    Of all the "libertarian" dodges, this is one of my favorites. You don't know who votes for whom. And it's DemocratIC. You do yourself no service by dumbing down English as a First Language.

    She doesn't get a pass at all; I just said it wasn't the right thing to do and I'll say it again. I do also see what she was responding to, and that has very little to do with voting D and very much with blatant racism.

    No, and it doesn't deserve it -- I was talking about the 'literally go kill yourself' post in the other thread. That probably should deserve it.

    No we don't. It's never worked before so why would it be different now?

    And we need to shoot people who keep saying to bring it back. :bergman:

    You know what? I was completely in the wrong about this. I saw @Anna's 'kill yourself' post in the other thread, hated it, but then forgot about it, probably because it doesn't fit my general picture of her, and I was no longer thinking of it when I read your post here. That's on me. Sorry.

    I'll say it right out, because I'm not staff anymore and I have no power to ban anyone:

    I don't want Feron here.

    I don't want Anduril here.

    I don't want any of the TNZ washouts here.

    And since any change to the board is met with crybaby drama and pissing, I'll use the tools available to drive such assholes away.

    I'm only sorry we didn't do this to gtardo sooner.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I don't want them here either.

    Why? It's not their politics. I'm sure I agree with them on a lot of stuff.

    It's that they are complete idiots in how they post. Just garbage.

    I agree with both of you. I want a variety of voices and opinions here, but "highly disruptive fuckstick" isn't part of that spectrum. :async:

    Apart from the reason, which was discussed for ages and eventually spelled out in Rule 8, it wasn't John who first made that call, but Anna.

    You move from a flawed premise. I wasn't the one who decided to kick gturner out. Oh, I support the decision to this day, but I simply carried out the wishes of the board owners.

    Actually you were a dumb, pathetic, whiny asshole on TrekBBS, came here and saw a Bernie avatar or something, went back to TrekBBS to cry about that, then came here and threw a tantrum about the evil SJWs who banned you for ranting in a Discovery thread while acting like a dumb, pathetic, whiny asshole. You seem to be incredibly entitled, convinced that everyone should respect you by default and you drag out that story about your dad when they don’t. You suck and you’re a terrible poster. You probably won’t last here either because you’re too thin skinned to be around anyone. I suggest you go to your basement, write a misspelled manifesto and accidentally shoot your own toes off.

    "When TNZ sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're sending people that have lots of problems. They're sending their logic-impaired, their persecution-obsessed wannabe martyrs, their meme-spewing troglodytes. And some, I assume, are good people."

    That's exactly it. We've had intelligent right leaning posters here in the past--and they were the reason I ever gave conservative ideas a glance after growing up on the Left Coast. We still have people like Sean and Paladin who I disagree with more often than not, but bring more than shit flinging to the board.

    We've also had liberal idiots who brought nothing here, and I was none too sad when they fucked off too. Original Recipe Polarslam was one. Starguard and his Cleopatra spamming schtick was another. Tererun when she first came here irritated me, but she's gotten better now that she realizes we aren't gonna ban her for being a "master troll" :lol:

    There's a reason why the staff wisely got rid of the Grey Room. We've long since past the need to be an extension of TBBS's Moderator Action forum.

    Sounds like something an SJW Marxist leftist Stalin-sucking New Deal Obamacare liberal would say.

    Wow, it must be that time of the month for you. That was one long run-on bitchfest of hysteria with bullshit that you don't know what talking about thrown in.

    I never "cried" that there are Bernie supporters here. I LAUGHED because that is what your idiotic dumbass SJW "Moderator" calls a part of a "far right" forum.

    I mean, who in their right minds would describe a forum where Bernie and Trump supporters both have complete freedom of speech to share their views as "far right"?

    Oh, right. Dumbasses like you and Locutus of Bored.
