MarketNeutral - He's left the building.

[Gaillo]

Good people,

We've lost a great member today - and been given something to reflect upon.
The day before yesterday, we got an incoming account deletion request from MarketNeutral. This was somewhat shocking to the site owner and mods, as he has been a prolific poster of news articles and has participated in many thread discussions. We attempted to contact him through other members who knew how to reach him via email, but to no effect. His account deletion concluded today.

Apparently, this was due to personal attacks against MarketNeutral in threads, it appears that he decided he did not want to continue here among people who would not respect or consider his point of view, and just wanted to throw insults instead.

You will be missed, MarketNeutral - best of luck to you in your future endeavors.
As for us, this is a sad day for the forum - and a time that some of us might want to reflect on Rule #1, and why it exists.

"You can’t reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into."

But MarketNeutral sure did try, only to set himself up for disappointment.

[saint]

Market Neutral is my favorite poster.
I can't believe anyone would attack him.

His departure makes me reconsider my participation here.
I guess I'll have to review the threads, very sorry to see you go MN.

[wildcard]

I'm sure it's because of me. Blame me if you want. :) I don't mind.

He called me a police state shill and neocon and I called him a liberal commie prima donna. He's like 7'1" tall, but he's a delicate little flower.

[ximmy]

I have mixed feelings about this... I did notice he was gone last night and wondered what happened. ???

I did enjoy his insight and reflection, but many of his posts simply linked to current news stories reminded me of that irritating news spider on GIM....

Many of those posts I had to wade through to get to the interesting stories written and posted by members.

[wildcard]

Exactly. And now this drama. He's left in a huff from every forum I've seen him on. No problem. I'll keep bringing interesting stories to the forum and others will just have to pick up the yoke and pull if they want it.

[Ponce]

Darn, now I will have to work harder........but.......I'll never be up to his standards of posting, he knew what to look for >:(

[Large Sarge]

I am so sorry to see him go

Great Guy.

We lost a real gem there

good luck MN with whatever/whereever you go

[Nomen luni]

This is a real shame. I would much rather that imbecile Philo had been shown the door. The dullard has cost this site dearly.

[wildcard]

Here we go again. ::)

[Olmstein]

He did the same thing at GIM back in late 2007/ early 2008, except he convinced G-Kahn to delete all his posts, which also had the effect of deleting all the other posts in all the threads he started.

Always struck me as a bit selfishand thin skinned.

I'm so glad we have a forum where we can say anything we want.

Gaillo, the one thing I can tell you, inspite of my gruff posting style, I can smell insincerity a mile away. Marketnotneutral always does this. Now he wants you to feel that an 'important' member has been lost, and then go looking for someone to blame. Not buying it none bit.

[Neuro]

Yes sad to see him go, but he did this at GIM as well... Giant stars and large bonfires burn themselves out quickly... Hope to see ya again supernova!

[mamboni]

This is a big net loss to the forum - Market is a one-man News Bureau.

I suspect the Arizona immigration issue precipitated this move. I didn't agree with his insistence on absolute unfettered freedom for Arizona residents, illegal or not; but, I support his stance in spirit and principle as at my core I am a Libertarian and absolutely loathe government meddling and IDing of citizens. But, we live in the real world and there are a lot of folk on the street who are not deserving of the privilege of being an American citizen.

[drafter]

Sorry to hear that. I did like his posts and enjoyed is ever changing avatars. Oh well.

[Dirty Harry]

I'll agree he was a prolific poster. He had some good threads and some that were not so much. He sure seemed to be one of those guys who has the majority number of posts in his own threads though.

I think the good doctor is right in stating it was probably the Arizona issue that hastened his exodus.

But all in all, it's nice to not have to scroll a page and a half to see someone else post a thread. Just sayin'.

[Apparition]

Despite any differences he had, I still find it saddening that he left.

Oh well.

I tried to deal with that issue, by explaining you need to remove the "free lunch" (including payroll taxes, free school, lunches, breakfast, etc) and legalize all the drugs

that will solve the illegal immigration problem, and employers will not have any real incentive to hire illegals

Employers hate all the B.S. (taxes, etc)

if you can pay some guy 1/2 what you normally pay, and do it under the table (no govt nosing around), well.....

that is kind of what most folks espouse here

(less govt, more liberty, etc)

The trick is to remove the incentive for the employers to hire them

illegals pay no income taxes
legals should pay no income taxes

no free school/day care/ meals for anyone

etc

nothing will change from this law, Napolitano is right, it will probably bankrupt arizona.

you are only dealing with the symptoms.

Employers still prefer to hire somone who is not going to demand "unemployment insurance, now govt mandated health insurance, etc"

further into the police state over immigration, and Arizona, one of the most free states in the country is welcoming it with open arms.

I liked his posts of topical news stories. He maybe needed a thicker skin or just told his adversary to fuck off and leave it alone for a day.

Yes I agree with this. If you post a huge number of posts you are going to draw criticism, deserved or not, and some of it may be in the form of personal attacks, or something akin to it. You should be able to take most of it, and if it becomes incessant in one direction I am sure that a moderator would sort it out. Unfortunately not everyone can become completely satisfied, and you either bear it or bail out...

I think for the forum it certainly is a loss that we lost MN, but if the cost of keeping MN would have been more heavy handed moderation (which it appears to be), I say let him go, long term it would be another GIM where prolific trolls get a free pass, and those who take the bait in the heat of the moment gets banned. I am not saying that MN was a troll.

I think this should be a lesson to those who did personally attacked MN, that we did loose an asset to GSUS today, and you do bear part of the blame for making GSUS a weaker place.

Freedom is a fragile thing!

I often wondered how he found all those articles that he posted.

Part of the problem with young people today. They MUST be liked. Not tolerated, but adored. They can't handle any criticism. It sends them into a deep depression when they don't receive positive feedback and validation.

It is unseemly for a Mod to so favor one side in any debate here. The referenced thread issue was the contentious Arizona Immigration Law. It is also hypocritical to now administratively decry "throwing insults" here when we all laughed at the Mod Madfrank's insulting video Hitler Responds to GIM and witness "throwing insults" in the course of many threads here daily.

You are a professional at obfuscation. NOBODY told MN to leave. NOBODY that I know of asked for him to be banned or removed. HE LEFT OF HIS OWN ACCORD. There is an ignore feature here I believe. If you can't stand the truth then ignore it.

[1970 Silver Art]

Posters on GSUS are going to eventually post something that other posters will not like or will disagree with. More than likely, they will be called on it here. That is just the way it is.

When you login to GSUS, make sure that you have a very good flame suit (a.k.a. thick skin) because you will never know when you need it. Having a good flame suit on GSUS is no different when posters were on GIM1. The same thing applies.

The fact that MN decided to leave GSUS proves that you need a very good flame suit in order to "insulate" yourself from the worst flames that GSUS can throw at you.



Without a flamesuit on GSUS, you might get "burned" alive by the GSUS "flames".

Unseemly for a mod. Favoring one side in a "debate". Hmmm... If that's how you choose to see the announcement, then so be it. However, I think you are incorrectly characterizing my post and its intent, and since I typically resent such actions (as I'm sure you do when people mischaracterize what you say...), I will go ahead and see if I can perhaps correct a misconception or two.

I don't see where I'm "favoring one side" - other than possibly on the "side" of the forum rules - I simply made an announcement that MarketNeutral had left, and explained the apparent reasons that he did so. I added that the forum has lost a valuable member, and I stand by that statement. Regardless of how you felt about MarketNeutral's politics (I personally took issue with many of his viewpoints), the fact remains that he located, read, and posted news articles that just about EVERYONE on the forum read and found to be of at least SOME value. Do you feel that he should be silenced because you disagree with some of his socialist/liberal/whatever ideas? That the forum is now a better place without him? Then perhaps this isn't the forum for YOU, book... read the word next to Gold and Silver in the header graphic - it doesn't say "Liberty for those who agree with us", or "our version of Liberty" - it says simply Liberty. I have an impression that there are a great many members of this forum who have NO idea what that word means, and that just as long as they can say whatever THEY want, that's enough Liberty for them and to hell with anyone else's opinion.

My comments regarding Rule #1 and attacking other forum members was a general statement that I would make in just about ANY situation where a forum member has left due to personal attacks, those comments were not specifically directed at MarketNeutral in particular. As for the hitler video, WTH does that have to do with ANYTHING here? It was a humorous "attack" on NON-MEMBERS, broke no forum rules, and does NOT apply to MarketNeutral or any other aspect of what has happened here. To draw a comparison between the hitler video and personal attacks possibly resulting in a forum member leaving makes no sense - or perhaps I'm missing something here that you would like to enlighten me to?

Don't sweat it Gaillo. Book just likes to poke when he sees an opening. :taunt:

I was gonna say......

But it goes with out saying.....

But I'll say it anyway

I think Gaillo , Mad franks and JQP should be allowed to have an opinion on subjects just like anyone else.

Just because they are Mods, shouldn't mean they cant post like anyone else with an opinion

[Nomen luni]

+1 on that, Ken.

People come and go as they need to. We all need to take a break sometimes, and for various reasons. I will miss MarketNeutral's news posts, for sure, but it'll be OK, and maybe someone else will pick up the slack.

Like everyone, I enjoyed the news feed, but to a point. I also like the commentary and the back and forth discussion. One has to know coming here that a thick skin is needed. You don't just stumble across GSUS and pactically everyone here is a GIM1 vet. MN knew the deal coming in.

Thats all I have to say about that.

I don't know what GIF's means but I love your avatar.

MN was a bit of a Prima Donna wasn't he? He did contribute a lot but it gets tiring when someone threatens to leave until\unless something is straightened out to their desire. We can all be replaced. Thing is, if you lose too many good posters the site suffers. Happened over at GIM from the bans. It kinda seems that MN has banned himself.

Why ya stirring the shiit here with me today, buddy? What have I done to you lately other than overlook personal attacks, give you pretty much free run of the place to say just about anything you want, and otherwise been almost the EXACT opposite of the mods over on that "other" forum?

I don't really care if you like me or not, but taking exception to my announcement that a fellow forum member has left? Don't you have any REAL battles to fight?

[keehah]

After Book's posting Wildcard perhaps one could call it an evacuation?

Mod is difficult work, especially on a site critical of authority figures. And Mods wish to enjoy regular posting as well. I've always been of the mind that Mods should be allowed to have more than one membership, obvious to all the same poster perhaps (like KeehahM and Keehah as example), one for Mod work (and not accepting much BS) and one for being a member with opinions like the rest of us.

Book, I offer you this (http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/news/Leeds-pub-sheep-arsonist-admits.6256885.jp) as diversion.

Oh... you DON'T have an "-o" after your name? Hmmm... interesting. I'd say that's just about 1/100 as much of a mischaracterization as the things you've been twisting in this thread today about me.

[MAGNES]

I don't pretend to speak for MN but do know him
like many others going back as a poster.

I doubt very much that MN left for one reason.
I'd say a guarantee, give him more credit than that.

He is much stronger than you people here make him
out to be. One or two people don't scare him .
He always puts up some info that many see
as "controversial" but that is not what he is known for.

It is up to everyone here to do the work , research,
post quality stuff, that is part of the message, IMO .

MN took shots at trolls before he left gim1,
then joined agora, did the same there, gave us good
advice, left there, now here too, but it is not one thing.
Yes some people have some baggage , we know each other,
etc going back. We are not all on the same page.

Stay safe is probably the biggest message,
and be smart.

I spoke out as I usually have done.
http://gold-silver.us/forum/index.php?topic=3349.0

Singling out one or two people is wrong though.

MN's very presence here with his original name
helped this forum out and really sent a message
to everyone especially the admins at gim who
he was in with. Think about that.

Maybe he does not appreciate me saying all these things.
Cause he is a quiet guy , doesn't do the head on like me.

We all need to do our best, MN thinks so for sure.

Farewell MN, may fortune smile upon you and your family.

Don't be a stranger, LOL .

and used some of this

[MAGNES]

Gee...Fair enough k-os but don't you think it kinda hypocritical


He was a regular member here and got into it,
good for him and god bless him , lol , he is one
of us, he did worse than that too on here beating
scorpio up, lol , like you, so what, now he is mod, less fun,
Gaillo/Henny got banned on gim with me and others last
day as we posted, Joe6Pack too, posts gone, etc,
Gaillo worked to bring people here too,
doing the right thing, while some people were mocking us,
like mayhem who later became mod here bullying
people, I strongly believe he was removed but
they are not talking, good for JohnQ aka JoeSixPack,
here we are, you should be very glad
Gaillo is mod, CONSIDER, I gave him a hard time on gim,
if people remember, but in the end he did all the
right things and fought all the same battles,
demanded a ban on himself, got one as solidarity
with others, I apologized to him on here and he did not
treat me like sh*t like mayhem who I was friends
with long time. Think about that Book.

Gaillo is mod, he ain't pushing me and others around.

Lucky for all of us to have Gaillo as mod.

Not the other guy.
I strongly believe we repelled a boarding attempt.
Lost Fred in the process.

[Occamsrazor]

I`m not a desperate forum junkie so I`m often clueless about GIM and other forum politics and gossip but I have seen several times with my own eyes an announcement of Marketneutral deleting his precious account.

It seems a bit pathetic to me. If you are an owner of a pair and armed with the truth, make OTHERS delete their accounts if they attack you or take a ban like a man should.

[Grand Master Melon]

I think it's lame that he left. So there's a couple of people you don't see eye to eye with, big deal.

This is the interweb, there will be arguments, idiots, spambots, sockpuppets and any other thing you can think of but at the end of the day it's still just the interweb.

Lucky for all of us to have Gaillo as mod.

I was joking around about him causing drama, and I'll continue :)

That said, I do appreciate Gaillo, JSP, and Madfranks.

[philo beddoe]

It is unseemly for a Mod to so favor one side in any debate here. The referenced thread issue was the contentious Arizona Immigration Law. It is also hypocritical to now administratively decry "throwing insults" here when we all laughed at the Mod Madfrank's insulting video Hitler Responds to GIM and witness "throwing insults" in the course of many threads here daily. Gaillo is basically here in this thread now administratively just singing the usual Good Bye Cruel World song on behalf of the disgruntled departed MarketNeutral:


Unseemly for a mod. Favoring one side in a "debate". Hmmm... If that's how you choose to see the announcement, then so be it. However, I think you are incorrectly characterizing my post and its intent, and since I typically resent such actions (as I'm sure you do when people mischaracterize what you say...), I will go ahead and see if I can perhaps correct a misconception or two.

I don't see where I'm "favoring one side" - other than possibly on the "side" of the forum rules - I simply made an announcement that MarketNeutral had left, and explained the apparent reasons that he did so. I added that the forum has lost a valuable member, and I stand by that statement. Regardless of how you felt about MarketNeutral's politics (I personally took issue with many of his viewpoints), the fact remains that he located, read, and posted news articles that just about EVERYONE on the forum read and found to be of at least SOME value. Do you feel that he should be silenced because you disagree with some of his socialist/liberal/whatever ideas? That the forum is now a better place without him? Then perhaps this isn't the forum for YOU, book... read the word next to Gold and Silver in the header graphic - it doesn't say "Liberty for those who agree with us", or "our version of Liberty" - it says simply Liberty. I have an impression that there are a great many members of this forum who have NO idea what that word means, and that just as long as they can say whatever THEY want, that's enough Liberty for them and to hell with anyone else's opinion.

My comments regarding Rule #1 and attacking other forum members was a general statement that I would make in just about ANY situation where a forum member has left due to personal attacks, those comments were not specifically directed at MarketNeutral in particular. As for the hitler video, WTH does that have to do with ANYTHING here? It was a humorous "attack" on NON-MEMBERS, broke no forum rules, and does NOT apply to MarketNeutral or any other aspect of what has happened here. To draw a comparison between the hitler video and personal attacks possibly resulting in a forum member leaving makes no sense - or perhaps I'm missing something here that you would like to enlighten me to?
I don't see any problem with what you just said. What I do have a problem with is if you took his word for it without being skeptical or pondering any agendas he might have. So I will do some pondering for you. Where does he find the time to bombard internet forums with so many posts and threads? Could it be because he is in the full time employ somewhere? I always thought his threads were bordering on spam and never said anything. His articles could quite possibly be computer generated. And he used to not get involved in arguments so much, now it is stepped up. Put two and two together. here is a new forum here that they haven't figured out yet how to infiltrate. So more people are coming out of deep cover. I am damn proud that my name is on the top of the list for ban requests. What is it , half a dozen now? Must be doing something right.

I'll give you credit on that. After a couple of mini one day bans, you never cried. But give rodin a one day ban, and he cries for life.

[philo beddoe]

After Book's posting Wildcard perhaps one could call it an evacuation?

Mod is difficult work, especially on a site critical of authority figures. And Mods wish to enjoy regular posting as well. I've always been of the mind that Mods should be allowed to have more than one membership, obvious to all the same poster perhaps (like KeehahM and Keehah as example), one for Mod work (and not accepting much BS) and one for being a member with opinions like the rest of us.

Book, I offer you this (http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/news/Leeds-pub-sheep-arsonist-admits.6256885.jp) as diversion.
No problem with that. Skyvike had Osaka, Don Black, Sayam, Blueice,,....etc

Thank you. I cry very seldom, usually when faced with horrors such as death of a loved one. But many people cry after a 24hr ban on a forum.

[philo beddoe]

As for the "drama," he just deleted his account without making a meladramatic exit. We only know because it was made public in this thread.


Exactly. Excellent point RJB.

:)
You gotta know marketnotneutral is smarter than that. If he made his own announcement, everyone would of called him a pussy. Instead, he got someone to do it for him unwittingly by proxy. There also is a certain tribe of people who are very good at proxy wars........hmmmm

[MAGNES]

Said lots, everyone would have an issue with something, lol .

Having said that this will blow over.

Singling people out ain't right either,
Market Neutral ain't that weak, give
him more credit than that, sheesh .

I don't want to see anyone here blow themselves
up for no reason here.

Be smart and contribute best you can.

Ben, WildCard, Book, me, others, it is cool we
are here together, I think so ? No ? We are all
individuals and characters to put it nicely. I don't
take things personally and hope others don't too.
Sometimes our posts knock heads, big deal .
Hope you guys feel that way, I do.

If this is over one word only, don't think so ,
but if it is , wow, talk about blowing out of proportion.
See my posts in lounge before commenting to me
please.

Or maybe someone should just close this thread, ?

[Ash_Williams]

Yep, market left because he was an infiltrating jew and all 30 or so of us regulars on this forum (does it even appear on any search engines yet?) are sooo important that he spent hour after hour finding interesting things on the web to post just so we'd all notice when he had his account deleted and of course that would change America's view on illegal immigration.

The guy was a great source of articles that I never would have run across myself, and I'll miss him.

And another thing Ash, maybe you could figure out who MN deigned to whine about in his retirement letter to the mods. Dollars to donuts, it was me and wildcard. So there you have it. He chooses to be sneaky, and I am open to everyone with what I say. Never once in my life have I written a mod to complain about someone, have you?
Maybe one of the mods could enlighten us about who exactly he complained about. Then Ash, you will know why I am making my retort public.

[saint]

I was gonna say......

But it goes with out saying.....

But I'll say it anyway

I think Gaillo , Mad franks and JQP should be allowed to have an opinion on subjects just like anyone else.

Just because they are Mods, shouldn't mean they cant post like anyone else with an opinion


x3 here.

[oldmansmith]

Market Neutral was one of my favorite posters at GIM1 before he left there. If you are out there MN, please reconsider. If I hadn't listened to people who irritated the crap out of me I would still believe in the tooth fairy, easter bunny, santa claus and that only Catholics get into heaven.

He chooses to be sneaky, and I am open to everyone with what I say. Never once in my life have I written a mod to complain about someone, have you?

No I haven't... so what's your point? I didn't even complain to the mods on the old GIM when certain posters accused me of being a gay jew (because I didn't think asspounding should be outlawed), asking if I was in the tribe (because I didn't agree with socialized health care 4 years ago any more than I do now), or saying I was a delusional moron (because I didn't think muslims should be given special rights over the rest of us).

I didn't complain, but here's my complaint now: it gets pretty fucking tiring when someone implies you're a jew because you have a disagreement with them. Yeah, he quit and it looks like he did it in a huff and maybe he complained to the mods and you and/or others, I don't know what he said and neither do you... but you're going to assume he did and then you're going to the standard fallback and bringing the "tribe" into it? As if no one could dislike you unless they belonged to the tribe? And you're doing this based on the content of a resignation letter that quite possibly exists only in your imagination? You concluded he was being sneaky and a possible infiltrator after closely examining the evidence that you dreamed up?

I'd like to think he deserves better than that based on his contributions.

I don't need to assume he did anything. I know he did, and he was pretty damn smart about it, getting a mod to thinbk it was so newsworthy that a whole thread needed to be posted about it. it was a trick to try to silence us in submission. He won't silence me, and you certainly won't. maybe you better read the OP from Gaillo. In fact, now that I think about it, this is the first time I have ever seen a mod think it was important enough to announce someones willfull departure. A proper response would be more like "see you later pussy"

[madfranks]

MarketNeutral was a popular and well liked member here. If no announcement was made, chances are some of the members would have started threads asking what happened. This was a common occurrence at GIM, when a popular member would disappear, people would want to know what happened. So if Gaillo never started this thread, when two or three other members started asking what happened to MN, would you then accuse them of falling right into MN's trap to get other members to announce his departure by proxy?

Well yes I wpould, when him and three or four of his other buddies are calling for my banishment. "tis my fault he left in a huff? No way, and I don't think he deserves an official exit like he's some royalty. I would be happy if one of his acolytes would of started a thread, because no weight would of been given to it.

I never had a single problem with MN except his ******* avatar pics. I always had to scroll down past them to avoid the blinking. In case you didn`t know, blinking discupts one`s brainwaves and make one feel disoriented. This is why police cars use them and rock "music" concerts employ them too to better brainwash the stinking hippies that attend them.

Just go create some kind of wacko alternate universe where anything is possible. Because you've lost all touch with reality here.

I just read this whole thread.

Most people are not open borders.

Especially the non conformists against repression on gim.

MN knows this and knows us well on this.

MN was never with the trolls on gim, ever .

I don't think he is open borders, just does not agree
with that law, proposes other laws as more effective.

Open borders is destruction, which is why trolls
argue for it.

If MN left because of that thread, that is lame.
More than one reason, has to be.

I'd say WildCard destroyed everyone with his points.

Read the thread.

My other posts stand, but I am still confused,
if not more now. WTF ?

[Odysseus]

Sorry to hear about this, Gaillo. MN was a valuable poster.





Good people,

We've lost a great member today - and been given something to reflect upon.
The day before yesterday, we got an incoming account deletion request from MarketNeutral. This was somewhat shocking to the site owner and mods, as he has been a prolific poster of news articles and has participated in many thread discussions. We attempted to contact him through other members who knew how to reach him via email, but to no effect. His account deletion concluded today.

Apparently, this was due to personal attacks against MarketNeutral in threads, it appears that he decided he did not want to continue here among people who would not respect or consider his point of view, and just wanted to throw insults instead.

You will be missed, MarketNeutral - best of luck to you in your future endeavors.
As for us, this is a sad day for the forum - and a time that some of us might want to reflect on Rule #1, and why it exists.

-Gaillo
Gaillo, the one thing I can tell you, inspite of my gruff posting style, I can smell insincerity a mile away. Marketnotneutral always does this. Now he wants you to feel that an 'important' member has been lost, and then go looking for someone to blame. Not buying it none bit.


Obviously quite a few posters "feel" MN was an important member.

I understand that, having been one of those personally attacking MN when you couldn't deal with his arguments, you would want to minimize his importance. Too bad you all can't bring to the table what he did.

I do enjoy a drink. I wasn't on GIM that long. I spent most of my time at kitco as "traitor" after haiving been offended by the masters of GIM that accused me of having an account that I didn't have. Dumbasses.

I try not to be lukewarm. I just try to gewt my opinion accros like everyone else. Shit, like most people I want others to see the world in the way which I do but ultimately I know that's not realistic. If it were it would be a great plce. Or at least it would in my opinooin. LOL!

aside from that. if i choose to go out, enjoy a concert and knock down some beers, how does that really mean i'm destroying the body?

And another thing Ash, maybe you could figure out who MN deigned to whine about in his retirement letter to the mods. Dollars to donuts, it was me and wildcard. So there you have it. He chooses to be sneaky, and I am open to everyone with what I say. Never once in my life have I written a mod to complain about someone, have you?

No I haven't... so what's your point? I didn't even complain to the mods on the old GIM when certain posters accused me of being a gay jew (because I didn't think asspounding should be outlawed), asking if I was in the tribe (because I didn't agree with socialized health care 4 years ago any more than I do now), or saying I was a delusional moron (because I didn't think muslims should be given special rights over the rest of us).

I didn't complain, but here's my complaint now: it gets pretty f*cking tiring when someone implies you're a jew because you have a disagreement with them. Yeah, he quit and it looks like he did it in a huff and maybe he complained to the mods and you and/or others, I don't know what he said and neither do you... but you're going to assume he did and then you're going to the standard fallback and bringing the "tribe" into it? As if no one could dislike you unless they belonged to the tribe? And you're doing this based on the content of a resignation letter that quite possibly exists only in your imagination? You concluded he was being sneaky and a possible infiltrator after closely examining the evidence that you dreamed up?

I'd like to think he deserves better than that based on his contributions.



+1, well said, Ash.

Many people are not looking for a jr high-school style exchange of insults and one liners when it comes to discussing PMs, politics and economics on the internet.

Ad-hominem, the crass attempts at personal disqualification by accusing someone of being a shill, a jew or whatever, can be produced by almost any poster. That just doesn't take much. But it does lead to a gradual loss of thoughtful posters, until you're left with an echo chamber full of the most aggressive and ignorant posters, eating each other to death as they alternate between circle jerks and backstabbings.

It does. There is no safe dose of booze. It`s like liquid radiation, it irreversibly damages DNA. Dope is painful to quit, to put it mildly but you can do it for 30 years and have healthy kids and look totally normal. I know a guy who`s been on heroin since he was 12, he is 54 and looks 46-48. He looks,acts and talks absolutely perfectly sober. You`ve had a few beers and can`t type shit. I used to drink while a teen and I shudder when i remember how God-awfully sick I was after drinking.
If you have kids, that`s one thing. if you don`t and plan to have them, you are committing a crime when drinking.

Hi guys! I just joined up. I was at GIM from 03-08 when skyvike banned me.

I have since lurked and when the split happened, I decided I wanted to be here. Let me preface this by saying I am 100% anti-israel, and you can go back through my old posts on gim, if anyone has them archived, to check that out.

That being said, the actions on this thread (and merlins) make me sick. No Im not going to run away crying, but at the same time....why would I want to be here? Most of you people sound like fools. Stormfront II is very fitting.

If you want to wake people up, you arent going to do it by calling everyone who disagrees with you joos, faggots, and wetbacks.

I dont feel I can refer people to this site with you assholes sounding like a moronic redneck white power meeting. Im sure you will all just accuse me of using megaphone, et al., which is just more of the sickness.

Want to do something, and be a big brave white man? Go to church, the supermarket, walmart, and hand out flyers and get in peoples faces. go confront the assholes hiring illegals at the home depot. Dont come on the internets and harrass what few people inhabit this place.

Name-calling accomplishes nothing except showing that one is weak. The way to destroy people is with truth, sarcasm and subtle psychological torture, the truth being the most important. Walk softly and carry a big stick.

[wildcard]

It makes me feel better. :P

[Occamsrazor]

There are a couple of posters who do nothing but empty ad hominem attacks. Incidentally they hate my guts. I on the other hand, almost never resort to name-calling unless it is used as an actual definition of who the victims are.

[1970 Silver Art]

Name calling just makes all of us look bad IMO. It is not always necessarily what you say but it is how you say it and how you express it. Even though GSUS is much more freedom of speech oriented than the Censored Deuce, that does not mean that GSUS is immune from going downhill with the pissing matches, name calling, and personal attacks on other posters.

IMO resorting to name calling and personal attacks is just giving the Censored Deuce what it wants and that is seeing GSUS go down in flames. Do not give the Censored Deuce that satisfaction.

I also believe that you should "fight back" to defend yourself and your point on GSUS if another poster decides to "attack" your point of view. By "fighting back", I mean providing arguments to back up the point that you are trying to make. IMO name calling is not "fighting back" but that is my opinion. A poster can "fight back" on GSUS without resorting to name calling and personal attacks.

[wildcard]

I think I make my points very well tyvm. Crudely, but effectively.

You'll never have to worry about whether or not I'm telling you what I really think. As opposed to someone like Horn-y that drifts into every thread like this and says nothing. He also likes to play games with multiple sock-puppet accounts. Even old skyvike told us that on gim1 before it closed down for good. I only have one account. I say what I need to say and don't care who knows I said it. I don't have to hide behind different accts to make it seem like there are more people on my side than there truly are.

Columbo is a scruffy-looking cop who is often underestimated by his fellow officers and by the murderer du jour. Despite his appearance and superficial absentmindedness, he solves all of his cases and manages to come up with the evidence needed for indictment, thanks to his eye for detail and the meticulous and committed approach he brings to his work.

Well yes I wpould, when him and three or four of his other buddies are calling for my banishment. "tis my fault he left in a huff? No way, and I don't think he deserves an official exit like he's some royalty. I would be happy if one of his acolytes would of started a thread, because no weight would of been given to it.
btw..,.I'm a better poster than MN


We lost a good poster.

Yet somehow this thread is all about you?
Get a f*cking clue.
Or better yet post something useful.
Couldn't have said it better myself.

I had no scientific means of measuring it. It will all be based on SWAG until they invent a dramameter.

Until such a device is invented I stand by my observation :)

Funny how a simple announcement regarding a departed member can turn into something like this. We let it go on long enough, but now I'm locking the thread.
