Running away. LOL. You mean it's cowardly to leave someplace you don't like? You're supposed to stay and fight to make the place into something you do like? Forever? That's how you live your life? What an absurd waste of time. I don't own this board and I don't delude myself into thinking I have...
Can I ignore the fact that this thread, intended to discuss the health of the CDZ with CDZ participants and to ask the mods to explain their approach to moderating the CDZ has been moved out of the CDZ and the absurd "gun control" thread remains? I fully expected this to happen. When insults are...
Let's take a look at the kind of thread that has caused me to decide that this forum is a lost cause.
The subject is CDZ - Gun Control
First there are ten useless posts. Then C_Clayton_Jones posts the truth here. This is not a legitimate attempt to foster debate.
Now, the subject of gun...
Anti-intellectualism is an actual thing because:
1- Stupid people spend their lives being shown how stupid they are. They fail at school, or barely scrape by at best. They grow to resent smart people. They beat them up at recess, and that makes the hurt go away, but only for a very short time...
First of all, I'm not running away to another forum. I've tried to find one, and so far I have failed to do so. There is nowhere to go.
I recently posted a thread about the current crisis in the Republican party. A common topic of discussion in the real world in recent months, but here there's...
I've reported many people here. It has achieved nothing. The mods are apparently happy with the way the CDZ operates. Now? Why would I continue to report people after I've given up on this place? Why continue reporting people? Don't you get it? It's either heavy handed moderation or chaos. Heavy...
Why do you avoid discussing the questions asked in this thread? Do you like this forum? Are you satisfied with the level of civil discourse here?
I would start a lot more threads in the CDZ if I wasn't concerned that they would instantly be derailed by the chaos that rules here. Ages old rules...
A year? Wow. My sympathies.
I think it's worth pointing out that someone regarded participating here as a "punishment" for a lost bet. How does the staff here feel about the fact that this place is regarded as a punishment for thoughtful people?
Hey mods, it's simple. Ban this guy from the CDZ. He is not someone who has any respect for the notion of a "clean debate zone". He seeks to do nothing but reduce every exchange to a thoughtless "rank-out" contest. I just don't understand the mods here. You established this subforum for the...
I can think of nothing to do except express my opinion that the CDZ is not working, and that the staff here are not doing enough to make it work. If others agree, maybe the staff will pay attention. So far few have joined me in my criticisms, asked the mods to respond or stated whether or not...
OK, that's about the funniest thing I've ever read. I should continue to participate in a board in which no real discussion takes place because I have an obligation to educate the world? Yes, I'll admit that I am obsessed with education, and regard education as the answer to everything...
Then why did you post it? To be misunderstood? I can call you a snirtkin, and determine for myself that the word "snirtkin" means a moron with non-existent communications skills and a completely empty brain, but what would be the purpose if you didn't know that was what I meant? This is supposed...
