    Well, you have stated openly that you do not think religious organisations (including churches) should be allowed to have any signs in public that they are even there, and you have also stated that you firmly believe immoral actions are justified as long as they are part of a program to attain a goal which you believe is moral, so I'll have to join those who do not trust you. You obviously are not a great defender of freedom. Sorry. To be perfectly honest, I would be more at ease with RickDeckard owning the board.

    In which case you donm't know what the fuck ypou are talking about.

    Simply because my personal belief is that religion is a cult fiction, are you seriously stupid enough to think that I would promote such beliefs on this board when I have stated that I would take a stand off approach should I own it? Do your consider your precious christian cursade to be under threat?

    Part of owning a board like this would be to maintain the freedoms to which it has become used to. The only changes I would make would be slight tweaks to make the implementation of the rules more consistent, instead of "pick and choose".

    You were one of the worst mods this board ever had. You were notorious for threatening to close threads you didn't agree with. You would easily be the board's worst owner yet. I would rather see Cassandra get it back.

    No offense.

    At least the question posed in the 'How long will Wordforge last' thread would be answered.

    Go find me one of the threads I closed ;)

    Clearly. While we're at it, no offense, but some might argue that you aren't exactly surging ahead in the popularity stakes.
    The board would survive. I'd see to that. I guess it depends on how many people would throw a little paddy and run away.


    For what it's worth, if I owned I would not moderate. My decisions would relate solely to the structure of the board in terms of a few minor tweaks to the rules and adjustments to the physical structiure of it to perhaps make it more inviting for newbies.

    Moderation would be down to the modship. I would not get involved in that shit. Nor would I implement any restriction of speech, no matter how retarded the opinions are.....because, simply, that is not what WF is about.

    The one thing you would not get, however, is my trying to win the popularity vote. everyone would be treated equally, instead of the fucked up imbalanced shit we have now. Case in point, I sent a genuine PM to Lanz about buying the board, he couldn't even be bothered to respond. Why? Because I'm not the most popular poster. That sort of inequality isn't good for making the board last...it just drives people away....and the fact is that more people have left or reduced posting under Lanz then any other owner, including Borgs and Cass,

    It is quite comical how sokar, scorp, kirk1adm and some others really never left the school playground.
    In fact, when I was 10 people used to act less like silly children than them most of the time.

    If El Chup is making a serious push to buy the board, then I'm gonna as well.

    Because I would make a better board owner any day than he would. :bailey:

    I like the fact that I get judged before anyone has actually seen how I would run the board (which entaisl completely different responsibilities from a modship).

    You get judged for being a snide douchenozzle, and nobody wants to answer to someone like that for anything.

    If I entertained any doubts about my conviction that you would not be a good owner for the board, the "I will insult and attack anyone who disagrees with me" attitude that you show in this post would erase them entirely.

    Good job. You keep me from having second thoughts about whether I should have stated my reticence in public. :techman:

    Can you please highlight the part of the post that indicates that if I owned the board I would promote my beliefs.

    Here's the deal:-

    1) I find your religious crusades to the Third World to be repugnant and offensive. I find your belief in a fictional cult distasteful.

    However....

    2) If I owned the board these opinions would only ever be put forth in debates. No threads would be closed. No rules implemented to stop you and anyone else putting forward their views. I would never strip the core speech freedoms of this board. Indeed, the board would be more free than it is now. The White Room would return. No bans for trolling with the paedo label and so on.

    So what exactly is it that you fear? Or is it just a case of you assuming I would run the board badly simply because you don't happen to like my views on your religion, views posted as just another member and not an administrator?

    Oh, golly, sorry for not leaping right to the keyboard to answer back. :rolleyes: Mind if I think about it for a bit before answering? Even if I do decide to sell it to you, that wouldn't happen until sometime in October because the webhosting expires in November.

    Actually most of us don't need DHS breathing down our neck because you're a Islamic convert fruit-cake with delusions of blowing yourself on the 'tube'.

    And yes I said blowing yourself instead of blowing yourself up because all reports point to you being a cocksucker.

    Very few people would make good board owners, Lanz is one of them.
    I doubt many others who post here would turn out good at it in the end.

    Subsequently, I don't think many here would make BAD owners on a day to day basis. But when controversy arises, I would want an owner who 'gets' this place, and make decisions based on the spirit that got us here in the first place.

    And here is the first and foremost reason why I would never participate in a board you run: I have stated many times, explicitely, that I do not do any evangelism in those Third World countries, yet you constantly repeat this lie, simply because of your hate for religion in general, even when that religion is doing urgent humanitarian work.

    You are not trustworthy when you continually lie. So why should I believe you will suddenly change your stripes and become a champion of liberty if you become board owner? You have shown very clearly, many times, that we cannot trust you, cannot believe you, and cannot expect you even to be consistent. You constantly whine about how no one is worthy of the fine intellectual content you bring to debate, then say that a woman who gets raped was a whore and a slut and deserved it. The last thing we need is someone with those kinds of attitudes running the board.

    I will state openly that if you become Wordforge owner, I will leave Wordforge for the duration. You are one of the least trustworthy posters on the board, other than a handful of very obvious trolls.

    Urgent humanitarian work need not be carried out in the name of religion. It should be an entirely seperate endeavour. What about this can't you grasp?

    Examples please.
    So, do you take every post that is made on this board to be a direct and literal reflection of the post maker?

    I suspect you never read this thread.

    Well, if you truly feel that I am such a lowlife, would you not be letting me win by running away like a coward?

    I thought that hating and loathing people as you seem to me was a somewhat un christian thing to do? Particularly in respect of someone you have never met...

    Interesting that you ignored my earlier questions btw, you usual tactic of late.
