Castin

That is fair and I will take that fully. I just refuse to let him go off on fully blatant rants and lies about max. Specifically because max refuses to address it since it's more of a bother than anything. So a lot of new people don't know him, see what RM is posting and assume it's true. I'm just here to troll him till he stops

They told me you are below my weight class and not to punch down on you. They are not sympathizing with your position, they are saying you are to stupid/stubborn to learn the lesson that is being taught. 

I could see how that is how you would take it without full context and I respect that, and I promise in all honesty its not taking advantage of him for amusement. The goal of this is to show him he can't just blindly insult and swing and not expect to receive shit back. For example he has went through posts and reported every thing someone posts when he disagrees with them just so moderation will hopefully eventually listen to him. He wants to be able to block you and say bad things about you without the consequences of someone calling him out or responding to him. When he does it someone it's fine because to him he sees it as a critique but when someone does it him, then they are a bully etc. I promise you if it was so one sided whiteflame or moderation would have stepped in and I ask them constantly if I'm going to far etc and they are fully aware that he dishes as much as he gets which is why they have not intervened. I know slapping on the hand publicly is probably not the best way to handle most situations like that but for him, it's the only way you drive it in his brain. 

I just don't take his bullshit victim mentality and instead of being just mean to him, usually meming him drives the point much harder because he responds poorly to it. 

Ugh. More of this shit? You make me regret casting my vote.

Thank you for saying this Castin. I haven't been on in a very long while and this is one of the reasons why.

I appreciate satire, after all I am very active on Twitter 🤪. But I don't like it when users, who are part of a clique, find a way to bully someone without breaking the CoC rules.

This happened to me in the political forum and I wouldn't wish this on anyone!

you arent voting for me luckily 

You are free to take whatever I say with a grain of salt since you assume I am "chummy" with airmax, but I am surprised you are basing so much of your vote on the opinions of others opinion on a user.

I would recommend you read both campaigns yourself and decide. Obviously I would encourage you to vote airmax's because his will be objectively better, but even then I would rather you just research yourself than judge an opinion from someone as volatile and flip floppy as RM. Airmax literally did nothing to justify him switching his vote. Him switching his vote is literally only him trying to get back at me, because I keep logically handing it to him the forums. Regardless of whether you take my side on this or not, I can guarantee you RM is using his vote for manipulative purposes and not over anything airmax actually did.

Just research both candidates yourself and form your own conclusion. You've had enough dealings with RM that you have to know somewhat what I am talking about here...

Ask Airmax to provide any evidence he has pull on Twitter that he boasts.

If Airmax had so much sway like that then the real question is this, why hasn't he used it yet?

Would you consider organizing on Twitter as well? DART needs a Twitter account for maximizing recruitment.

no.

"https://bbs.market/ZLOGIC/posts - - it's easy to reach tons of people here

I also have 35+ members on my discord channel and even more in my contacts list who would be good initiates for DebateArt.com

and 422 followers here - https://hive.blog/@logiczombie

and more here - https://blurt.blog/@logiczombie/proposal-to-end-all-moderation-problems

I recently exposed some fundamental errors in the HIVE system and my notoriety has skyrocketed there."

Growth needs to begin with a trickle of awareness, new members and activity, drive that planned development over time, and do that within reasonable metrics over specific periods. One step towards this goal requires that we dust off that ol' twitter account and get some hits going. We'll eventually also focus on SEO areas, but I want DART to actually be something people get linked to because of their interest in debate - that needs to be the focus, what brings in new quality members, and what retains those members. It's not enough just to hashtag the common abortion debate, we need to get specifically topical. If there is a trending hashtag and a breaking event we need to incentivize and encourage debates on it immediately to make DART at the forefront of that interest. To that end, we are going to begin the DART STARS DEBATE TEAM (or we can call it something else if you have a better name). This cadre of the willing are going to be tasked by the Social Media Director to start these topical debates and then we'll get the twitter account to feed on those trends.

Granted the religion forum was the wild west and went too far, and you are judging the modding practices entirely on your experience in the religion forum, which generally despised any mod interference, had a different culture than the rest of the site and was generally resistant to moderation. I don't like the religion forum culture and usually avoid that section, but it is the culture they wanted. Serious religious discussion can and should go in the philosophy forum anyway.

Are you for more moderation or less moderation?

They literally banned people here for wrong think. 

If you liked bsh1 you would like airmax. Bsh1 was a big fan of airmax on DDO as well. Trust me you qould like airmax. I encourage you to message him and ask him questions and get to know him. He is a good guy, a hard worker, and someone you will 100% like if you give him a chance. He's right up your ally.

He isn't becoming a mod, he's becoming a power-check for mods and official even hoster.

I'm coming out of retirement and i want to be the president/mod of this forum. I am the dragon queen after all... in some dreams anyways. 

An orgy of genital mutilation and head butting walls perhaps.

And other very sensible stuff.

why is it that people are willing to believe magical stories that they would have dismissed as nonsense once they are mentioned under religion ,many of the stories mentioned under religion are just crazy and if you remove the religious background of the story it would be placed under fiction and if someone came and told the story - without the religion- , you would probably tell them that they are lying , because such thing can't happen at the world or at the very least not on our world .

• We tend to suspend our critical thinking when it comes to things we're invested in, or that serve our physical, emotional, and psychological needs.
  
• We tend to dismiss what is outside our experience. A stranger running up and telling you a fantastical story is something that falls outside your experience -- you don't know the stranger or the story. But if you connect the story to something familiar and personal, like your religion, suddenly it gains much more cognitive traction for you.
  
• We tend to suspend our critical thinking when something comes from an authority. Our propensity for this has been well documented and is not unique to religious people.
  

Fair perspective,

Sometimes I comment more one the conversation, than a person, and avoid @ing people, if I don't feel my comment 'adds enough to the conversation, to be worth notifying them.

Why comment at all, if it doesn't add enough to the conversation, well, sometimes one just likes to aside remark, at no one in particular.

Lot of variation in that Christian lens though,

Christians I've known, and Christian perspectives I've enjoyed reading,

Did not seem to make or believe "the whole point of being in a religion was so that you got a chance at some afterlife."

When the 33-year-old man went in for a CT scan of his pelvis, doctors saw that he had a rectal-prostate fistula, a rare condition where the body develops a hole that connects the rectum with the lower urinary tract and creates all kinds of problems (like shit in one's piss and vice versa). In this man's case, the hole created a new passageway for his sperm to travel; instead of flowing out of his dick, as he might expect, it took a hard left out of his anus.

The Hebrews seem to have had different theological priorities.

Like what?

• To keep the Covenant.
  
• To obey and uphold God's law as laid down by Moses.
  
• Tradition, family, Torah.
  

If their goal was to become a better person, you don't need religion to do this.  You can do it by living according to your own morals (with some exceptions.  If you think raping is moral, you still shouldn't be allowed to rape).

Why would someone want to be Jewish if they weren't focused on the afterlife?  I thought the whole point of being in a religion was so that you got a chance at some afterlife.

Pretence.

1. An attempt to make something that is not the case appear true.

Synonyms: Make-believe, act.

Gods and Father Christmas fit the definition perfectly.

Is the bible pornographic? Well I suppose it depends upon what we mean by pornographic.  Certainly some of the pictures described present pictures that contain sexual content, exploitation, nudity etc.  But are they pornographic or not?

 "Pornography is the depiction of sexual behavior that is intended to arouse sexual excitement in its audience." Pornography legal definition of Pornography (thefreedictionary.com)

Hence, the question has to be asked - Are the writers of the Bible using this language as a means of intending to arouse sexual excitement? 

But what about moral culpability? He shouldn't have been there that night and was looking for trouble...  So he bears some moral responsibility. Its like if someone goes on a safari and messes wit the lions then has to shoot one. Yes it's self defense but ya shouldn't have been messin wit da lions to begin wit

Don’t agree at all. There shouldn’t have been a riot for him to go to to begin with. You should probably familiarize yourself with the case before posting, it’s been demonstrated beyond a reasonable doubt that the reason his initial attacker (Rosenbaum) went after him is because he was putting out a fire. Putting out fires and rendering medical aid is “looking for trouble?” Does someone “looking for trouble” flee upon the first sign of confrontation and only fire after being cornered? 

Your position is the abrogation of citizenship itself. Every role must be bureaucratized and there is no right for the citizenry to put out fires or render medical aid to people attacked by rioters because the police and fire departments have abandoned their posts. This is “looking for trouble” 

Can't find it in #mainchat rn. Must be buried somewhere under all of Wylted's antisemitism.

I don't think that blanket label does much to actually combat antisemitism.  It is certainly over used by some people to apply to anything.

I suppose this is where faith in a religious text or prophet comes in. Most major religions seem to need to believe they have the inside skinny on God from some authoritative source.

Have none of these supposed sources ever been compelling to you?

I havent read the Koran, or much of the Vedas or any other source yet.

this will make others not want to use this site because it isnt serious.

AND most people here arent serious.

its real bullshit

This is very, very, specifically and very very explicitly referring to something I had just-so-happened to have been talking to Wylted about.

was the world created with novelty (dna, changing astrological patterns etc) so teh creator wouldn't get bored?
