I always have known it, you are confused. It's the ridiculous contortions y'all unnecessarily go though to keep the author's name attached to it or to include one or more other quotes that I don't get. It's not like most other forums work that silly way.

Wow, you're really thick, I genuinely congratulate you for accomplishing the quote function, and all you can do is  turn around and insult.
This forum software is the majority of forum software on the web, there are two others, one you pay for and we decided with this one because of the amount of people on the web familiar with it, another, V=Bulletin is good but I didn't like it, and that leaves Yabb, the old standard, but very outdated.
And you have the audacity to insult 70% of forum users over your inability to grasp a simple concept?
Like I said, libs read this forum as well and many were probably pulling for you in the beginning, but when you go petty over little things and insult more than half the world, you lose their sympathy.

QuoteAh, so you were not being fully honest when you posted:That's what I thought. It's libs that get banned for those things while cons need the protection.

Did I say we haven't banned Cons? In fact we've banned more Cons than libs, most libs leave on their own, but cons we give a hearty boot in the ass when all they want to do is argue petty shit, like you're doing in this post of yours.
I suggest you get back on topic and cut the shit or I will give you a boot in the ass as well.

QuoteCould be though I suspect there's more to the story, but the forum I'm most familiar with is run by a lib who never censors. Ask "Reality", supsalemgr and The Stranger, they couldn't hack it. That's why they're here.

Now you're trying to rebuild that strawman you so lovingly dismantled all by yourself early on, but here it is back again.
Never have we censored anyone, your posts speak for themselves.
Why in the world would we want to stop a lib from showing their true ignorant self, it's the best proof that the liberal mind is stuck in the early stages of development, and relies solely on emotion, as you are exhibiting here in this post.
This is typical of liberals, they know nothing of any given subject, so they try and derail the thread and make it all about their sensibilities.
Note to all libs, this tactic simply doesn't work, if you can't debate an issue, it's best not to open your mouth and prove your ignorance, it's better to just sit back and read, you may learn something, but to do what John is doing here, distracting from the original subject and made the thread all about the host, a host gracious enough to let opposing views be expressed, only to have their hospitality stepped on, is what truly ignorant people do.
And yes, John is showing just how ignorant he is by using the tactic of a teenager, and maybe he is, I honestly don't know.

QuoteYou misunderstand, I love it here! It says so much about cons these days, they live in their own rapidly shrinking magical world.

See what I mean libs? This is just more proof he has no interest in debate, just insulting the host. Think about that for a moment, you invite people into your house and offer them hospitality and make them feel welcome, when one in the group turns and begins insulting your home, all the guests and in general just disrupting the conversation and all because they aren't smart enough to keep up with the rest of the group.
Now be honest with yourself, what would you do in a situation like this.

No, I'm not ready to kick him out, I'm going to let him simply continue to embarrass himself to the point he leaves on his own, which is usually the way we do things around here.
But I want you to keep watching, because he knows nothing on any given subject, which is why he resorts to making the thread personal and in the process derails it.
But since you've been following this thread, you've already concluded he got way in over his head.

Welcome to the world of Vrede (John Barth). It is so boring. I commend you and taxed as Vrede is a major twister of reslity.

I now remember this poster from last time, just a typical troll, they never actually post on any given subject, they typically look for something to do with emotion they can target and pick away at like a sore they can potentially infect.

I plan on using this guy as an example to other trolls that your ignorance will be put on display and used against you, very much like a Miranda warning, "Whatever you say, can and will be used against you".

redlom has problem with us undercutting the premise that Falmouth is conservative.  He has issue with that.

Really? And when have we ever censored a post, like those other forums, or banned someone for an opposing belief, like those other forums, or deleted their account without explanation like those other forums?
Point is, were not like other forums, and the fact that you post freely as a liberal, and not once have we ever stifled your views, kind of slaps in the face of your claim, that we're like those other forums, now doesn't it?

I'm still trying to figure out how he is using a town that voted for Warren as proof that conservatives support energy subsidies.

I'm not saying you or other admins ban people for having a different point of view. But I do see the conservatives on this board having more flexibility in their personal attacks. If a liberal did the same thing some others here do, he/she would be branded rude and a troll.

The pattern seems to be, someone new comes on, they don't say the conservative viewpoint, get branded a moron/liberal/idiot by a few members, this new person lashes back and he/she is either banned or asked to leave.

If someone is serious, serious discussion will continue...  if they continue with unfounded crap that we've heard forever, they need to make the case for it.  That is what value a liberal bring to the forum.  I don't think that is very unfair.

Ever heard the term "Culling the Herd"?, new people come in, and regardless of their political persuasion, if they say something stupid, and I do mean truly ignorant, they are challenged, and sometimes rather rudely, but this is how we as a society cull the herd.
They either stand their ground, or leave to safer pastures, we are a reflection of the human experiment, where only the strong survive and the weak become food.
If you expected us to be Politically Correct, you would be sadly mistaken, Conservatives believe in individual strength, not strength through Govt, or in simpler terms, by being sheep and following the leader, that is for liberals.

I honestly hope you understand this, because the left is trying to quash individualism, kill off the free thinkers, they hate people like us, people that believe in self sufficiency.
So to those that come here expecting this forum to be a reflection of the microcosm of the PC Leftists, they will learn a hard lesson.
Lib or Con, stupid is not welcome here.

Quote and reply if you dare, taxed thinks you and your friends are too delicate to read some things.

Thank you, redlom, but we all know that it would never be tolerated here.

No, Solar, it may be the same base program here, but many others don't have its unwieldy quirks. You live in your own magical little "extremest" world, like your repeated fantasy about all the hidden lib readers here. Much simpler are all the forums that give you this just by hitting the quote button:

Quote from: John Barth

Quote from: Solar...Sorry I went beyond your intellectual level.

Mis-described posts, "it's own", "back peddling", "but it both party's" (2 fer),  "Tea party", no question even asked in the quote you responded to.

Evidently, your administrators don't have the "intellectual level" to fix their own site.

You also need to look up "censor" (banning is the same thing) and "straw man" in the dictionary. Your "stupid" is obviously very welcome here.

Btw, it's hilarious that you're now describing the "original subject" as anything other than the erroneous supsalemgr assumption that you swallowed whole. That was always my main point and most of the diverting away from it came from you. As for the tactics "of a teenager", that's your censor, taxed. Pay attention. There's no "individual strength" or "self sufficiency" in grown men with wet nurses and your definition of "free thinkers" are only ones that spout con wingnuttery, others get banned. Oh, and your pathetic anonymous threats and childish vulgarity are a scream!

Quit whining, The Stranger, if you can prove me wrong about TP votes for corporate largesse from the taxpayers, get off your lazy butt and do so. That's how competent posters do it, not by screeching that any unproven opinion must be wrong. It's more fun that way, too, for those that are competent enough to do it. Of course, you remember all this from having it done to you so very many times, including your believing the misstatement by taxed of what I posted about Falmouth and then in creating your own befuddlement on "corporate welfare". Still running from those, I see.

QuoteSo, you still have a city that voted for Warren, but are really conservatives?  You're now admitting it was a city that voted for a far left liberal who even got busted lying about her heritage...

Actually, I was fairly careful to post "moderate at best" or "moderate/conservative" but I don't expect you to be honest about it. You've now, with the protection of your own censorship powers, lied about it three more times. What a weenie!

The fact is that supsalemgr was flat out wrong to post:

supsalemgr wrote:

Quote...I am making the assumption the great majority of the people in this community are libs considering the location...

And, y'all swallowed it whole and still can't admit it. That he flubbed is no big deal, that he can't man-up about it is so, so revealing. Now, you're just using your Administrator powers to cover for it.

supsalemgr's only posts since the county data suggested otherwise have been attacks diverting from his flub. In stark contrast, when I found (y'all were too lazy to look or looked and knew that supsalemgr was debunked) that the current city results were a bit different from the county I immediately posted it and let the slightest of majority (51%) chips fall where they may.

Not that I mind - I'm not as sensitive as the cons here and I don't need a wet nurse to protect me - but the childish con attacks began with my first post, yet I'm the one punished for suggesting honest and accountability.

Thank you all, my opinions about cons have been confirmed:

Incompetent.
Illiterate.
Childish.
Vulgar.
Whiny.
Lazy.
Befuddled.
Wingnut assumptions.
Gullible.
Dishonest.
Biased and self-serving when in power.
Too weak to admit error.
Unable to let your arguments stand on their own.
Needing a mommy to step in when shown up.

Many of us are laughing at and pitying you over on an uncensored forum. If any of you are confident enough in your ideas that you think you can hack it, ask supsalemgr, The Stranger and "Reality" what they ran away from like frightened children.

Now, delete this, we all know it's the resort of the desperate. Thank you for proving it. My job is done, exactly as I intended and expected. Bye for good (if not censored again), honestly, you may have the shallow end of the gene pool all to yourselves.

Irony.
