    Ah! The competition begins for the Passive-Aggressive Pussy-Man crown. Goodness! You'd better get that crown quick, DryRot, lest Mr Graus use you as a scratching-post and whittle you down to a splinter.

      Why is it you have me in your signature yet you tell everyone to ignoring me? Roll eyes

      I've actually considered removing it, but it's just too funny, and I tend to be slow moving. People should ignore you because of your mental illness. The comment I quoted, is proof of your illness, as if the conspiracy theories were not enough. How much would it cost you to speak to a mental health professional ? I know that the US health system is corrupt, overpriced and broken, so I have no idea how much it could be for someone who does not contribute to society ( i.e. the people likely to need that sort of help ).

      So I am not allowed social interaction because of my perceived mental illness? Also, on the comment you quoted, I consider that as an ability and a gift. It helps me in areas such as visualization, mathematics, troubleshooting, and creativity. My knowledge of the banking cartel and their plans is actually common knowledge, but most people are afraid of being criticized and ridiculed if they speak up about it. Read some writings by Dr. Ron Paul, that is an excellent start for someone like you.

        No. Simply a statement that crying and whining and making a song and dance about me is just going to make you more frustrated by my presence here.

              Chris told me something that I'd wondered about but hadn't had the sense to ask him if it were possible. Essentially he would let us create a group, accepting whichever members we would have in it who applied, that would have its own message board. The board could either be totally unaccessible to non-members or read-only for everyone who was not a member. This, it seems to me, would have some advantages: a familiar format (we'd just have to change '2605' and Chris, not me, would be the root admin for starters. We'd have to figure out a method for letting latecomers in, but I'd personally suggest that the initial membership be open to anyone who has been at CP for 6 months and who wasn't Ilion or CSS or that idiot who tried to dominate the lounge for awhile. I'm going to post this message on the new site, as well.

              I probably missed something, but i'll ask anyway... Aren't you already moderating this board? Can't you just nuke posts of the sort you're looking to avoid?

                  Absolutely. But as I told Chris, I don't want to get into a post-delete-post-delete pissing contest with the two of them. Since I still work and they don't, it's not a battle I could win - and more importantly, it might end up with even more of their crap being posted. I was fine with ignoring their posts even though they both began to snipe at me twice as often once I stopped responding, but it became clear, thanks to a thread Christian started, that a lot of old hands had given up and ceded the field to the two of them. When Rob Graham, one of the moderators, said he, too, was making like an unpaid band and ankling, I decided that enough was enough. It's made for an interesting weekend. Never got so many hate-posts aimed at me before. Made me feel special. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

                        That is not what I do, I run out to the web to find information. Watching someone speak in real-time is more informative as you not only get the words, you get the emotions of the person speaking. Back to the point, the video I posted a link with the time of reference in the video, was meant to be a short 10 second demonstration, not an explanation.

                          I see... That makes sense. Gotta admit, i only bother checking this forum once every week or so anymore, just on the off-chance that someone posts something interesting. An invite-only message board might work, provided you can get enough folks involved who actually have something to talk about. You're probably better off keeping the board at least semi-private though, just to avoid sparking fires elsewhere... Judging by what Gary has pointed out, it appears that we've graduated from attracting trolls to attracting terrorist cowards. :sigh:

                                  However, something about creating an exclusive site, or club on this site, to explicitly block them out, seems to me like we're saying they win.

                                  Okay, they win - but it will be a phyrric victory. Hannibal, for instance, won almost every battle he ever vote in Italy for twenty years, but he lost the war. Although they are, indeed, the impetus for this, I frankly think its overdue. CP needs to do something not only to control the trolls, but the plz-hlp types as well.

                                  I learned a long time ago I couldn't save everybody and I have seen no signs he is worth saving. Indeed, I will confess to a little smile that is brought about as he screams ever louder about being shut out. I suppose that's just another not-so-nice aspect of my personality that they bring out.

                                  To be honest, my preference would really be to do whatever benefits CP more. I suspect that would be staying here, because it generates site traffic.

                                    So I am not allowed social interaction because of my perceived mental illness? Also, on the comment you quoted, I consider that as an ability and a gift. It helps me in areas such as visualization, mathematics, troubleshooting, and creativity. My knowledge of the banking cartel and their plans is actually common knowledge, but most people are afraid of being criticized and ridiculed if they speak up about it. Read some writings by Dr. Ron Paul, that is an excellent start for someone like you.

                                    Not at all. It's that the sort of interaction that happens here, only feeds your illness.

                                    Yes, there are a lot of conspiracy nuts, and not all of them are mentally ill. But, they are all bound by other things, and knowledge is not one of them.

                                      Did you check out some of Dr. Ron Paul's writings? Are you going to or are you just going to keep on going on like you do?

                                          Pay attention: I wrote, "It's nothing new." Don't freak out. Write your representative if you want, or protest in the streets; whatever you think might help. But take a good look around before you do: chances are, there are much more effective means for Gov't to keep an eye on you already in place...
