His name was Gturner

Actually, when I worked for TWC it was my job. Yes they actually wanted us to get on our personal computers to check out connectivity and do some instruction online. During one of the virus hits I knew about it and had a workaround for the customers before ms and the major virus people had the problem under control and knew what was happening. That was because my personal computer got hit on a timed attack and I was troubleshooting before the wave got to their three.

So don't assume what my job requirements are. I have been browsing internet message services at work before aol was Mr. Tonto weaboo.

I'm not sure I understand this post. "Ten Luback's Speakeasy at Cybertavern"?

Ok, what about the rest?

Come on, you're not a drooling idiot. You know what bigotry and stereotyping is.

Like I said above, you can articulate your objections to certain religions without stereotyping all followers of it. Just like you can criticise addiction treatment programs without stereotyping addicts. And so on. Post without stereotypes and I won't ever accuse you of being a bigot.

Still don't get it. You can talk back on here, no?

All I want to hear is the truth. You've yet to tell it.

Just about everything except for why gturner is banned.

I was never interested in anyone stepping down. All I wanted was an admission that they done fucked up and to try to fix what they fucked up. Instead, you all whine constantly about being called on your fuck up, and the new admins refuse to fix the fuck-up.

I post with full awareness that the admins could just be dicks and ban me for the fuck of it like they did to gturner. Of course, that would simply prove me right (but shithead-in-chief Krieg doesn't give a fuck, supposedly). And in the end, all I'm doing is standing up for what I feel this board is about and has traditionally been about.

I believe this post proves my point adequately.

They have come out with a pretty accurate explanation of what happened. They even admit they had trouble with how things went down and people left because of it. What more is needed if we are not talking about unbanning Turner?

A continuing excuse to whinge.

....no.

I never even heard of the place until just now and everyone has been at your ravings since you suddenly started spewing this garbage after the Charlie Hebdo attacks.

Utterly delusional.

I did a Google search and there is such a closed board. How Dinner found out it was his is beyond me, if it's so secret.

I don’t think it’s actually closed, I tried going in and it asked for my login information.

I meant closed as it "not able to browse without a log in."

I didn't even know it existed.

Me, neither.

I'm not cool enough to know about it

"A continuing excuse to whinge" sounds like the title of an independent Italian film made by three university students. It will be about a friend who is given a bicycle by a random stranger, and is told to pay it forward by delivering medicine to the local convent. It will contain excessive amounts of swearing and gratuitous nudity.

Also, good to see you around, Chup.

When will see this at Caans and Sundance?

When I can bribe the judges and find a monocle.

It's not cool enough for me to know about it.

sir this is a KFC drive-thru please pull forward

Ten Luback's Cybertavern got shutdown because his cyber-liquor license expired. All the insidious plots against @Dinner will never be discovered because the cyber-ATF kept all the files.

Oh look, Chump's back.

And he immediately launched into inane squabbling with Dinner, desperately trying to justify why he ran off, dribbling butthurt the whole way.

At least Liet hasn't come crawling back for the 50th time....yet. And Gul is still mercifully absent (I hope).

As for gturner, the solution is what it's always been. You go to GoDaddy, outbid Ancalagon for the domain name, and you take it and the site away from him. You tell useless "admins" like Krieg and Quest that their services are no longer needed. Once Wordforge has been taken away from them, this cabal of antagonistic, pissy leftists will all run away to various safe space echo chambers where they won't be triggered by dissenting conservative opinions. How do I know this will happen? Because these people have spent years demonstrating they're not interested in or capable of competing in the marketplace of ideas, which is why they have to resort to banning posters like gturner.

Only when these things happen will Wordforge have any chance to recover and grow beyond it's current pathetic state of affairs.

What's wrong with Wordforge is exactly what's wrong with Marvel Comics under the Milkshake Girls regime. An insufferably self-righteous, pissy, vindictive group of Progressives, who, at the end of the day, are interested only in punishing their intellectual and political enemies and running off customers that don't adhere to their ideological purity litmus tests, rather than improving the brand.

You're free to leave, too.

"Competing in the marketplace of ideas", is a cute euphemism for "we shut up who we don't like, because it's noble and heroic when we do it".

It's a pretty sounding phrase, until you realize, the marketplace that sells orange juice, and soda, and hamburgers allows a lot of dirty tricks and lies.
And if your lawyers are clever enough, you can even get away with poisoning some kids.
Truth ought not be run like a marketplace.
I prefer debate.
That thing where people like Flashlight lose, because they're stupid.

It is actually the exact opposite, Dicky. Maybe look up the term and who came up with the phrase before you misuse it?

Given your attitude toward gturner, I find this statement coming from you very unsurprising.

Gturner kept trying to sell his orange juice with rat turds in it, we kept telling him "we're not drinking rat turds", and he just kept that ad campaign going.
If he's unbanned, I'll block the fucker.
He's the board equivalent of nuisance phone spam.
