Ramshutu has blocked me and I will never talk to him about my reports anyway. He is a biased, corrupt mod who I have no intention of dealing with.

Debating Help?
Idk if it works on Mac, especially not on Safari browser. Probably does but I still don't know or care if it's cmd or ctrl.

Apple is just complete 'no go' to me, got zero respect for the company.

Just an FYI for users of non-Mac computers, ctrl+] and ctrl+[ help you make layers inside quotes with ease. Use enter key to separate the layers and enable it to work properly.

One thing I'd think would be helpful is for the voters to to explain why they're reporting the vote and why they feel like it is against the COC

Let me do this and you'd realise all my reports are accurate. Where is the mechanism to do this without spamming you for ever CoC violation?

you didn't catch the irony of the booty spanked slave double standard, that's fine. It's funny and barley proves a thing. I'll prove more to you in private if you want. Virtuoso is a pushover who succumbs to Bsh1 on serious issues of moderation, so when you say 'not an issue' he will side with bsh1 against you as/when the time comes and you'll realise that he's not just a bystander but an active partaker by wilful submission as a deputy/vice chief.

@Trent0405

In depth debate that actually evolves throughout the Rounds in a way I think debates are supposed to. I had some typos in R1 but in my opinion it didn't take away from understanding. PB1 is meant to read (as it's written but difficult to read correctly) that the declining of immunity being removed is what Pro sees as immoral, not the immunity itself. That was what I wrote but it's worded funny so misreading is possible. Other than that I feel I made an excellent case and struck Pro's cases strongers in later Rounds.

I will appreciate a vote from any/all of you tagged.

thanks in advance!

You are in no position to know my position on your patterns of hiring and banning. Well, actually you have some position now, since I just showed you I know how you go about things.

If I am so wrong, why not tell us the fair approach you use to judge people, rather than keep it secret?

If anyone is curious why I never assumed or concluded that Virtuoso was a viable candidate for who Mike/admin is, the interactions between them and fact he was put under Bsh1, with less access despite being more keen and far more contributive overall in the days where both were promoted. Also, there is an underlying 'I don't care what you say' coldness to Mike that I don't see in Virtuoso but is very quintessentially Bsh1-esque, or Airmax-esque. YYW has the coldness too, to be fair, but it's less quintessentially 'him' to stay so aloof for so long, even just in terms of 'talking to other users', it's not how he pulls off his accounts or personas in my eyes. He's either totally inactive or totally active in general, which isn't really seen in Mike, who is consistently aloof and spreads his energy out.

So yeah, I'd put money on it being Airmax or Bsh1 but it could indeed be a stranger/troll trying to dox us or data-harvest opinions attached to real identities for government research etc. After all, the symbol for 'religion' is Illuminati's occult eye and if you zoom in/out on the 'education' symbol on debates it becomes triangles/pyramids too at some point on Chrome browser.

Another theory entirely is that it's askbob or izbo10 or something like that. This would be the best way for that type of troll to 'get revenge' and dox us all at once. They are hiding behind a Russian proxy for the website's 'whois' as a first sign of protection and fear of us realising who they are... That sounds like either they respect our privacy very much and don't want to make it easy for snoopers to pressure them into revealing info or that they want to use our info and have backlash on them be very improbable.

the same reason I doubt it's Mikal's crew is why I doubt it's Shabshoral's crew. ShabShoral is probably the most 'capable' member of pulling off a false persona that intentionally speaks 'foreign sounding English' at times, since he has extreme attention to detail and would almost definitely set up a website with a Russian proxy or something... It's so 'his style'. Nonetheless, I stand by that the leadership and behaviour of Mike socially is too different to believe that he's anyone from that crew.

Mike is either Airmax1227, Bsh1 or YYW/Coal (even though the latter 2 have accounts here that claim to be them, he'd obviously use an alt for having opinions/debates).

As for 'but Airmax went by 'max'' well, it was a convenient pseudonym people gave him. He played along. Not sure if it's his name or not and won't help narrow down whether he's Max, Mike or neither but there's definitely one of the three Airmax/Bsh1/YYW scenarios going on. It could be Mikal, sure, but Mikal would have had a different leadership team and treated me personally differently (Mikal hates my guts). Mike didn't hate me on here, he even 'hired' me (for free) to his team on an official planning off-site thing for a while, he also trusted Ramshutu who I know he didn't do homework on to have trusted with that much access. So, it's not outrageous to assume that Mike is a trusting person in people he's not fully gotten to know but there was a massive time difference in proportion between how long he took to judge me and Ramshutu, as opposed to how long he took to judge Bsh1 and Virtuoso (and in turn to trust their judgements on Tejretics and Castin).

Whoever Mike is had many months at least to get to know Bsh1, if not years. This is based on the fact that he took many months to trust and like me and Ramshutu with that other stuff. He does indeed build trust faster than most and based on the fact that I think that Ramshutu and Virtuoso probably used VPNs and fake emails for the website, his degree of trust is stranger with them, that's not doxxing just based on speculation and what I know of both and their theories of privacy etc. 

As for why Mike let Bsh1 access so much so fast, it is true that overall there was an 'upgrade' in their (Bsh1's and Virtuoso's) access to the back-end of the site. After a few months, he allowed to them to see more and act more immediately on quite a few things, which was how finally they saw that Type1 was Sparrow in physical terms of analysis, I think (can't reveal specifics it was on PM). 

The reason why I think he is Airmax above the others is based on secret analysis that I don't want to fully reveal (as it involves hangouts that perhaps only ShabShoral knows most about other than Max and myself). I can tell you it includes who Mike silently has never liked, never favoured and never taken advice from. This temperament (show hatred passively but show love and amiability actively) is something Airmax1227 frequently, habitually did. The reason I think he isn't Mikal or Bluesteel is rooted in both temperamental differences and alliance-peculiarities that would never have added up. I don't think they would have not had Thett3 leading/modding, for example. Imabench would have got a much warmer welcome, as would the entire 'other side' of the original 'war against Bsh1's leadership' where I was actually on the pro-Bsh1 side. Mike stood by Bsh1 throughout and based on where I know Airmax and YYW stood on site members (secretly or publicly) I know for a fact that for Mikal or Bluesteel or any of that crowd to have masqueraded for that long as the opposition to their previous clique is nigh-impossible.

I also think Mike could be Bsh1, more so than YYW but less so than Airmax, because of some things that happened or didn't happen in private. Such as a group or 2 that Bsh1 never joined that Mike did, which would/could punish multi-accounters in ways he may not like. I'll not say anything more on the matter, this sums up what my conclusions are and the three people I believe it's plausible to say that Mike really is (from DDO, not IRL).

Ramshutu what are your views on who or what was behind 9/11?
How do you view Israel as well as the idea that there is an ethnicity known as Jew that you can be born into?



Bsh1, why did Mike trust a total stranger who he claims he's never met or observed socially before as he had zero prior interaction with those on DDO, with entire backdoor-access to users, IP, PM, email etc? What level fo insanity woukd it take to trust someone within a couple of weeks of website-lifespan who simply posted a few rule ideas with that degree of access and power? I think I know the answer, but I'm curious what you'll say.

When it suits him he will lock threads for fighting words and callouts.

When it doesn't suit him, he will let people abuse each other for many pages of posts.

It is always at his disretion.

This is a callout thread, therefore he should lock it.

He won't lock it, he needs to deny he's a dictator. That is the beauty of his agenda; it actively masks itself via channelling its means.

Did you know that bsh1 has said you can call him a booty-spanked slave and that you can call Virtuoso a slave of that slave? Did you know that you can't say that about any other member on the website?

I bet you didn't know that.

👍

privacy badger and https everywhere are both made and run by EFF: https://www.eff.org/

so, while technically they could 'snoop in' on some pages and content, if you had to trust anyone, you should probably trust these guys.

This again will break down into 'but it aint open source', but originally, while developing both https everywhere and privacy badger, a lot was open source. There is a reason why they can't release privacy badger open source; it uses a copyrighted learning algorithm that wouldn't be good to reveal to the tracker cookie designers.

HTTPS everywhere is entirely open source if you understand how to read coding and follow its explanation of what it's doing.

It learns from you as well, turn a lot of the yellows into greens or reds, it will learn and adapt to your preferences over time. This then can be seen as a new form of tracking but if you don't want that, go for any other tracker prevented and rely on 'lists of trackers' that the tracker cookies are always steps ahead of. Privacy Badger basically is adapting to the type of thing that's being tracked, whether the tracker cookie was made 12 years ago or today, it will immediately adapt to how much is being tracked and cut it off before the new cookie (or old) ever gets to track you. 

A weakness in privacy badger (which is present in all tracking cookie blockers) is that if the website says it 'needs it to work' but really doesn't need it to work, it can trick privacy badger into unbanning a potentially sinister tracking cookie. That's really its only flaw and only is a real worry if you're on websites that you should be using TOR browser to visit anyway as that has 0-risk of tracking cookies working properly.

but it would be ridiculous to use whether the name of one was better than the other. This is just basic principles of debate.

Why? What's wrong with using the name? it's as valid an element of comparison as that. 'better' had no context to it at all.

Ramshutu seems to think that facts can be used in a debate about 'who is better' without filtering it through a biased lens. He also thinks he can disregard dishonest votes because he says his intent was honest and that the dishonesty is irrelevant. Sad thing is, both are proven true by voters. This helped me over time realise how to capitalise on sheepish habits and blind spots in voters' logic that now I am learning to use to my advantage, will raise in rating and then reveal later on how exactly I do it and what the fatal flaws are in most humans is in deciding which side of a debate is correct.

Debating Help?
I think I have finalised my theory on debating and how to make it work. If it proves true and I win at least 5 out of the next 6 debates I have, I will hit you up with what I have come up with (2 of the 6 are):


4 more will come after that.

One tip I can give, that was proven true by losses I got when experimenting with ignoring it, is that the number one thing to consider is how you'll lose the debate. You need to totally comprehend how to lose a debate without forfeiting, that is where you begin to become great and form theories of how to win and guarantee the win. The theory of how to win is much more fluid and complex. It depends on many things, like the voting base etc.

Ramshutu saying I can't beat them at the worst, when at my best, is one of many examples of the extent of biased bullshit that he portrays as objective truth. In time he will eat those words, but then that is the very beauty of doing it (proving people like him wrong).

Hooefully i win my next 2 debates (against Exile and billbatard) where i use alll my learnings and adaptation to make almost any voter incapable of justifying a vote against me by me covering all bases. It will be very difficult but I think I've finally cracked the pacing, side-picking etc.

Alec, just to be clear, I would rather that the government takes tax more from everyone (especially the rich) than takes less from 'everyone' and more from people it deems immoral who aren't in any way breaking the law.
