It actually is. All those you mentioned also like 1 thing here rather than the site itself.

For Fauxlaw it's debating itself as an art form.

For Savant it's debating more so as a science I reckon.

For Mharman it's forum games and the buddies there, the rest of the site could rot for all he cares.

All would ditch this if they got the same thing mentioned as readily elsewhere.

@AdaptableRatman.


If there is a GOD, I'm confident that it is omni-sensible and not the ridiculously vindictive bloke you bible bashers make him out to be.

He probably looks at us and says to Gabriel, that Zed's a cool dude,  but that Ratman, he so full of angst, needs to learn to chill out.

Bless them.

You will find out at final judgement what precisely he says.

I know some things he won't say:

All this time I was telling you to do stuff via prophets like adaptable ratman and you wouldn't listen!

At worst it would be like "Don't you love puzzles? I love puzzles. I hid the solution in the bible and you dullards never got it. Boring."

@AdaptableRatman

Matthew of the Bible.

Somewhat sketchy tax collector, not known to have written anything.

Matthew's Gospels were perhaps composed 200 years or more after his obscure death, by some Greek guy.


A bit like youngsters on this site, Jesus and Matthew fuelled with testosterone probably had all sorts of whacky ideas.

No  girlfriends to speak of, so you make your own mind up.

@AdaptableRatman

Virginity is perhaps sacred to certain devout Catholics, especially in places where the Catholic Church has a strong political and indoctrinating influence.

As for homosexuality, well,  that has always been an issue for Catholics.

Not that Jesus and his fellow bromancers were members of the Catholic Church.

Though washing and anointing with oils was very much a thing.

I vote we cede all moderating positions to LucyStarfire, AdaptableRatman, and Wylted, and then just sit back and see what happens.

Can moderators ban each other?

We need an ideology spreadsheet.  List a bunch of beliefs and have users input their own beliefs to them (and always frame it as, "Should X be legal?").  People can broadly answer, "Yes" or, "No", but then if they have a nuanced stance, then they respond with that nuanced stance with text.

Nope. You would be an unholy Triumvirate, as equal in power as in chaotic potential, like three dark Sith whose infernal lightsabers can slay anyone but each other, preventing the rise of any one Sith Emperor.

If I am moderator, nothing. We would just have more free speech.

What exactly is your goal?
I feel like you have a strong opinion that you keep hinting, but never fully lay it out

There is no long-game plan that I'm aware of, and his goal has changed course several times over the last 2 years. 
From what I've observed, the only thing that has remained the same is the demand for stronger enforcement, and policy reform (or just cracking down on certain behaviors.). 

But this demand for change and quest for power has been going on since 2018.

Ignore the one pretending yo speak on my behalf. He is an abusive wreck of a user that abuses those he rpete ds to support as soon as they call him out.

I will tell you one thing:

Nobody here for a while shows their family and irl friends the site. They feel shame, its a closeted hobby. This stems from the terrible moderation.

I shall change that.
