With the exception of "The Back Alley", CIVIL DISCUSSION IS EXPECTED.

Pikes got in an argument with him, and apparently Observer is taking SES' side and getting uppity again.
Typical born-againie, a real hater. Nothing new for her, obviously.
And m'boy GOG is worried about me, it seems - so nice to have fans! lol

Yeah, Shadow is the opposite of what she pretends to be. No surprises there.
The one and ONLY time that Shadow was ever nice to me is when she thought that I might be ripe to turn into one of her believers. The second she realized that it was NEVER going to happen, she turned back into who she really is. A nasty cow.

Ken's announcement that I'm 'permanently banned' on his precious board is no surprise: I told him I wasn't coming back (at least not as long as he's running it). It wasn't going to work; his 'moderation' is a combination of straining at gnats and swallowing camels. Nitpicking who is and isn't violating his ABSURD rule about DNRs as the board descends into anarchy and resentment. it's been bad a long time.
DFM, of all people, has it right:

I hope not, even though we usually disagree.

Diverse opinions are the foundations of all productive intellectual exchange. If we all thought the same way, the BB would be very dull indeed.

That's what it's about, alright, or SHOULD be. And that's what it stopped being quite awhile back.
So long and good luck to its participants. Well, most of them, anyway.

I didn't want to discuss this on the open boards, but I will be offline beginning May 1 until the end of my rehab. I mean, I hope I get connection, but I don't want people worrying. Time for the first of two hip replacements (yeeee). Funny part I will have rehab in part of the facility where my husband is long term. Gotta hide!

I hope that it all goes well and quickly! If you're going to be in an acute rehab, then yeah, they should have internet connectivity for you. Both of mine did.
I'm sorry you're having to go through having both hips replaced! Not fun!
It'll be worth it Trish! Everyone I know whose had them is very happy they did!

So disgusting to see how extremism is spreading on Yellow.
Not only the usual extremist rankings of DFM, GOG and SES (plus imported idiots like Deanna) but now even KR is turning into one of them. Lately he's become the same kind of pro-Israel, anti-protester reactionary as the others.
Thank goodness Bean's back and speaking out against this reactionary GARBAGE.
Offline
What gets me is the blatant laziness about fact checking. Deanna is the worst about this, posting email letters filled with lies or half truths. I do some fact checking on these, and correct a bit. But WHY if you want to be taken seriously wouldn't you do proper research?

=============================
Well, I think that KR is wrong, not an extremist. Everyone is entitled to feel super strongly about a few topics, even our usual allies.
DFM is clearly an AH extremist on multiple topics. He fancies himself the smartest guy in the room and pretends extra knowledge and education that he lacks. Therefore, he's made himself into a rigid idjit to laugh at.
SES is an AH and a jerk who gets ugly about everything, especially if it tweaks "liberals". He fancies himself the smartest guy in the room on the surface, but he is a bundle of insecurities and fear of being found out, so constantly brags and acts out on the internet because he feels "small" in real life. His entire RL is a lie so he compensates on the boards. He is afraid of his wife.
GOG is just an ancient, proudly racist dingbat who is losing his marbles. He fancies himself as quite smart and more informed that most. Who knows? Maybe he was in his prime before dementia took over. He occasionally sees the other side, except on religion and racism.
KR is nasty to anyone he disagrees with, particularly conservatives and the religious. He, too, fancies himself the smartest guy in the room and he's supremely confident that he's always right. I think he's a highly successful guy but locked in a mind set he cannot break free of for any reason. His lack of manners bewilders me. Perhaps he MUST use them IRL and so he acts out on the boards?
Obviously, just my POV, I could be wrong, but I rather doubt it after years of studying their behaviors and reactions.
Bean is very familiar to me, but I can't quite put my finger on who he is. I suspected Amadeus and occasionally still do, but IDK. I also suspect maybe Woodbine? In any case, I like and respect him so far for how he's posted and carried himself. We'll see going forward.

Yeah, it's more an aberration in KR's case.
I think it's some kind of virus communicable down in Texas. Without knowing it, you suddenly find yourself sounding like TEXRA..

GOG is once again taking issue with what other people write, especially on "his" threads.

OMG yes, no one thread jacks or kibitzes on threads remotely as badly as GOG.
Either it's crazy religious or 'scientific' disinformation, or he's posting stupid little one-liner attacks on other posters.
Totally disruptive influence.

Why do morons like SES and Mongo constantly attack EVs?
I assume it has something to do with their reactionary politics ('fossil fuel good, electrics BAAAAD!)..

"Ford just reported a massive loss on every electric vehicle it sold"
Posted by CE0802 on April 28, 2024, 4:40 pm
New York CNN — Ford’s electric vehicle unit reported that losses soared in the first quarter to $1.3 billion, or $132,000 for each of the 10,000 vehicles it sold in the first three months of the year, helping to drag down earnings for the company overall.
Ford said it expects Model e will have losses of $5 billion for the full year.
“Americans don’t want EVs at levels Biden’s climate hysteria require,” author and businessman Andy Puzder wrote on X. “Ford’s EV Q1 losses soared to
$1.3 billion — a ridiculous $132,000 per EV sold. All Ford’s profits came from combustion engine vehicle sales. Collectivist policies destroy prosperity.”
***
Now, somehow, the company that QUIT MAKING CARS IN FAVOR OF PICKUPS AND SUVs...is 'collectivist?'
What a maroon.
ps - more about this idiot Puzder:
'Puzder published his second book entitled 'The Capitalist Comeback: The Trump Boom and the Left’s Plot to Stop It' in 2018.'
A crypto-nazi Trumper, IOW..

If Trish won't be working the Hate (yellow) board and Ken is all we have, I see no reason to post there. His pampering of SES's hatefulness and violence-praising posts is disgusting, Twice I've tried to call attention to the pattern and twice he's deleted MY post. I believe he ignored a Pikes post on the same topic. In one of my cases he said that he hasn't the time to read all posts and basically said I should do his work for him. If he hasn't time to monitor, plays favorites and hasn't Trish to do the real work, what's the point?
Offline
Good question, and one I've been asking for awhile.
Odd that Ken has time to post on Blue, where he's not necessarily popular, while his own board sits without new top-posts for days..
Offline
Trish will only be out for a day or two while still in the hospital and under the weather the most. All hospitals and acute rehabs have free internet for patients.
In all fairness, both ask for infractions and complaints to be emailed to them along with links so they aren't missed, which is very easy to happen. It is a wide open board with only 2 very busy mods and lots of sneaky posters who constantly violate the rules.
I can't speak to whatever happened with your posts SJW because I don't know that I even saw them?

Gonna do anything about that language, Ken? Or are you still scared of SES?

SES just deliberately violated my DNR TWICE on R&E. AGAIN. Apparently he thinks it is funny and LOL about it !!
He never seems be held accountable beyond deletions of his endless violations of the rules, including DNR. So why should he care about following rules?
IMHO, he is the single WORST poster there because he significantly degrades all discussion with his hateful attitudes and remarks.
Offline
Was SES the target of Sir Real's post? It was not clear who he was referring to but whomever it was who peaked his ire, Sir Real's comments about accusing people of being Antisemitic was right on target!

Wow! a battle with a piggish troll on a given day 7 months ago instead of addressing the VERY SPECIFIC issue I raised. Ken, I don't think you recognize your own bias or laziness. Remember, you banned posts on the middle east for ages because of a personal experience you had while driving. I'm sarcastic and can be nasty, often very much so, but I am not full of hate and impotent rage, which cannot be said of your pet SES.

What can be said? SES is himself. A very little man ever shrinking smaller. I kid you not. I have not been ridiculed for my interest in entomology since I was an early teen in junior high school, and wouldn't you know it, that's exactly what SES did and does.
Insects are among the most sensitive and easily observable animals in response to climate change. I wrote if oxygen density increases due to climate change, that will affect insect size. I believe that may already be, for in recent years, record size specimens of virtually all giant insect species are being captured, literally everywhere.
SES is a moron who thinks rules are for other people, and thinks he's the smartest person on the board. I am uncertain he is "good" at anything.
Muqwump gives back what he receives. He doesn't initiate trouble.

He's not held to the same rules others are. Ken bans others for next to nothing and randomly (I know better than most) but despite the alleged rules:
"..a forum for people of all faiths -- or no faith at all -- to talk about belief systems. This is a forum for discussion and learning...it is not a place to come in with a closed mind. This is a place one comes to understand...not to judge...not to brainwash...not to copy and paste the same things over and over.
Posts containing SPAM, profanity, personal attacks, hate speech, excessive repetitions, or links to harmful material may be removed."
...SES is never or only rarely held to them, and is the most abusive poster there.
I think that Ken is simply unable to process a lot of the sarcasm, disingenuousness and snottiness of SES. Like the now-disappeared jb ('don't say his name three times!'), he doesn't 'get' it. And SES, along with DFM and Sprout, manage to dominate and disrupt the place.
Sad.
Online!
SES is a fly
Who or what is Lester?
When I wrote I'd walk out of a church where American Nationalist Hare Kristnians hung out, he replied "You might limp out."
Why is that? Somebody might beat me up because I don't belong or fit in? Somebody might shoot me in the knees? Do a Tonya Harding? Yeah, nice church.
