Direct violation of rules in order to make Airmax1227 eligible to run for President.

@Lunatic
After some research I am not certain his campaign is even real/sincere and I think he's just here for lols.

Therefore full steam ahead with my campaign, not dropping out.

The purpose of the gold medal rule is to make sure the user is dedicated to the website.

You have undermined its entire purpose whether you admit it or not.

That's a better score than the contribution effort you, Lunatic and Airmax have done to the site's debate and forums section until power came tempting you.

Mhmm, do you enjoy mocking people who drool, is this some kind of image shitposting game to you?

Did you intentionally like all his posts after spamming threads, in order to make him get the medal sneakier after Supadudz stopped your spamming?

How fast can you type?
76WPM is my general average.

There's a way I can increase it that involves positioning my hands in a very rigid manner where only my fingers move.

Despite my wpm on tests being that, people who see me type (not typing while reading but typing from raw thoughts or listening) all say I am one of the fastest typists they've met in their life, even professionally. So, for me the reading and then typing is what mentally delays me in tests.

Excellent post. What really got to me ironically is something many will think is dumb.

Nicki Minaj is permanently banned on Twitter for saying her cousin's brother in law in Trinidad had issues with fertility and erections after getting vaccinated. She got gaslit on TV to be against black people getting vaccinated and pro-Trump when she hates Trump and never aimed her post at black people. So, she spoke her mind further and got banned.

There is a criterion to run for President that one must have a gold medal, so the user DuhHamburgler spammed as much as possible to get Airmax1227 the 'mentioned' gold medal while Lunatic helped along the way within the main campaign thread.

This is direct spam, evading (thereby devaluing the sanctity of) the gold-medal rule and nobody is being punished.

What part of that is freedom of speech? Why are the mods not enforcing it?

If someone did that for me or someone else they'd enforce it.

DART President Straw Poll
Nice rhetoric, in the end Max didn't like some users' freedom of expression but liked others and it was based on what the popular users thought.

A lot of websites work that way, it's actually uniquely a debate website that should not (ironic how you think I don't get the difference and nuance).

You can keep saying I was oh so this or oh so that, it's not just me he targetted and not just Bench he favoured.

I am not even interested in proving how corrupt he is, I am interested in proving that he'd only returned to the website for power first and foremost and that he should be disqualified as a candidate in the eyes of sane voters due to literally not giving a damn about this website.

I am what I am, I was it before he rooted for me and will be it if he likes me less after as well.

I'd happily vote Pie and even Wylted over Max as well.

Max is corrupt and the only reason you want him there is to be a safety valve for your toxicity and bullying to unleash here where he selectively is laissez-faire with you guys and bans the real freedom defenders like me for how we fight back.

Unleash his wolves, muzzle the outcasted hounds and let the canine aggression unfurl.

Good poems/rap verses/book excerpts (do not troll)
I remembered each flash
As time began to blur
Like a startling sign
That fate had finally found me

So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross
The distance in your eyes
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide

There was nothing in sight
But memories left abandoned
There was nowhere to hide
The ashes fell like snow
And the ground caved in
Between where we were standing
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross
The distance in your eyes
Across this new divide

In every loss in every lie
In every truth that you deny
And each regret and each goodbye
Was a mistake too great to hide
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

 I definitely thought after that, he would be a disaster for the site as president. 
Yet even after that, you continuously said I'd make a great or at least fine president if I should win.

why do feminists defend islam and not christianity
-->
@zedvictor4
I work regularly with people who label as Muslim, and all are friendly,

Though how they might be more deeply affected by enforced religious conditioning is hard to tell.
Exactly, I totally agree with you. Muslims-in-name are often nice and friendly people that ignore the brutality and severity of their holy scripture and religion's history.

I am fine with them but I wish they'd drop the act, of course they can't or their families will disown them and peers will bully and reject them.

Yes you said freedom of speech is your primary motive but I don't get it. If that's the only issue you vote on, how do you even know who will back it the best?

People assume I won't back freedom of speech just because I don't support severe racism and bullying.

This is the type of person you're voting into de-facto power if you vote Airmax btw.

You are okay with pie being a hypocrite so long as you think it benefits you. That's okay. I want pie to lower himself that way and embrace his true beliefs. He hates freedom of speech so much that he will vote you over airmax so he should be able to express his opinion against airmax. 

Let's hear it pie. Why do you oppose freedom of speech
You are the one gaslighting Pie here. You don't even know what gaslighting is and keep overusing the term.

You are that genuine gaslighting hypocrite, dishing out terms that you embody during this campaign.

Pies already made himself accountable of being against everything he claims he is for. I'm just getting the community's thoughts on him being a huge hypocrite and a joke.

8m sure you approve of his being against free apeech though so let's talk about how you want most of the community to be banned.
You're putting words in Pie's mouth about him being against free speech and then taunting and bullying him for it.

Airmax banned people for using their free speech on DDO, they just weren't in your clique.

Imagine being the biggest crybaby of the election talking about being thick-skinned and keeping your cool.


This thread is literally you bullying and humiliating a user to pressure them into voting against me. This is the exact kind of corruption and atmosphere that was there on DDO with Max that you guys pretend was 'free'.

Real freedom is nobody bullying anyone to vote anyone, nobody humiliating anyone for the candidate's agenda they back. Instead what we have here is complete double-standard hypocrisy from the side saying they back freedom, only trying to utilise psychological warfare while telling 'gaslighting' at the same time.

You're the gaslighting abusive one here. You have no other way to convince people to vote for a user who has posted only ~85 times in his entire time on DART.

If you want somebody very active that will properly stand up to the mods for you, vote for me. It really is that simple.

Voting for Airmax won't help you at all, he will be loyal to his homeboys and homegirl(s) from DDO.

He's always been that way, very cliquey and all the mods are going to vote for him because he's a fucking puppet for them unless they target his buddies that barely posted anyway.

Do you want a guy who didn't give two shits about the site until he smelt power? Go ahead, do it, vote Airmax. Do you want a guy who cared for this website start to end despite it mistreating him, despite getting wrongly banned and despite a lot of rivalries would defend the rights of all you, enemies or not, against mod abuse because he's been a victim of it like very few others have? THEN VOTE FOR ME.

@Lunar108
The one boundary the British (and most European) colonists had when colonising was to not blackmail the inhabitants to Christianity and also to not directly destroy statues or sculptures that the natives found sacred.

I'm not saying they didn't sin in other ways but this was just a fact, fact-check me if you want.

The Ottoman Empire and all Islamic invaders completely blackmailed the populace into Islam and destroyed anything sacred to them if they felt like it.

as long as he sticks arounds, sure
This is a guarantee with me, you can even begin to compare our consistency in activity and sticking around.

I offer you literally everything Airmax can and more. There is nothing Airmax can guarantee you, he's only here to serve his old buddies and their agenda. It's why he's so vague, it's how he's always been on DDO and now.

If he gets into power and you get banned, he wouldn't give a single damn about you, to him you didn't even really help him become President, you just rode an anti-RM wave and his 'buddies' in the clique he serves will have you at their mercy.

If I am in power and you get banned, I will absolutely defend you if anything about the ban is fallacious and use my veto to push proper debate to occur over your ban and press for more.

A scenario Wylted offered me was this:

Are you capable of proving your ability to use discretion.  The ability to use discretion is important to a working relationship.  Let's say you earn whiteflames trust and he starts leaning heavy on you as an advocate for users he interacts with less than you. 

A lot of those conversations may be very private and ugly facts about users could come out that was only the privy of mods. Say whiteflame concludes a particular case of harassment is not harassment and the user should go unpunished. You guys fight hard over it and he basically says "fuck you, not banning the harasser " . Your only two options are

1. Drop your argument and let the harasser get away with it

Or

2. Air your personal grievances with whiteflame publicly and break his trust and ruin the relationship necessary for a working relationship.

Will you and can you be trusted to take option 1.

I know I have the ability to maintain that relationship with whiteflame and have previously proven it as I have interacted with him a lot off site and we have both told each other personal things, and both of us have seen each other never betray that trust.  Can whiteflame trust you like he trusts me, so a working relationship is possible?
and I guarantee you that Airmax would pick option 1 in a heartbeat.

It seems odd when you ask a veteran if they believe in maintaining the freedom our founding forefathers gave us, and have one respond with

"Well that depends"
Actually, it makes perfect sense. The military are some of the harshest 'get in line and shut your mouth' type people on the planet. They don't care much for 'freedom' as much as 'discipline'. Even if they themselves died for others' freedom, it's not in their own personal code or important values.
