@Imabench
Gonna give my two cents on the OP even though you guys have gone ahead and built up a nice head of anger at me for pretty much no reason....
Good thing PM Doxxing is in the CoC. :) We both know one of the many reasons is something that would change people's view of you who haven't seen it.

I hate him on a deep fucking level but as a Progressive (as opposed to you who is a Conservative), you and I see hate differently.
I got my own back on him while banned from the site, I won't go into it but others may. We get along now with mutual respect for each other's prowess at driving the other away.
He completely relishes in the agony of those he preys on and picks on people specifically because they are easy to upset. He is in every way someone I resent but I respect that he can adapt very well, albeit not as well as me.

A head-mod pseudo-admin who couldn't do enough backdoor to save the site during spam barrage and other things but had enough power to oppress the eccentric members.
Then many of the eccentric members (not me but others, though I am included in the group) ran to the only forum section where it seemed that being weird was fine and being normal was punished... the religion forums.
Over time, airmax1227, imabench and others ensured that there was a general consensus of the Religion forums being the shithole that no one needs to visit or refer anyone else to. A combination of tactically bullying and ganging up on any Religion Forum main who showed up in other parts of the website as well as having a mod in charge of Polls and Opinions who was very fond of Airmax and vice versa led to the site driving religion-focused ranters to one place on the website. You may ask 'one place? what about the debates of people like backwardseden?' yeah, that results in the winrate he had. They'd gang up and vote against weird ranters and not give you the time of day.
So, naturally what happened was that if you wanted a place to belong as a weirdo, especially a religion-focused one, you needed to solely debate and interact with the website in the highly polarised Religion forums... This then meant you had a series of alpha males and alpha females competing over space, attention, feeling intelligent etc and no beta personalities, let alone omega, to keep things peaceful or make anyone feel good. Sure, there were a few here and there but they were sort of 'I don't care what you think of me' types and didn't really do much other than make others know someone was listening. So, everyone was either highly confrontational and socially awkward or they were the opposite to such an extreme extent that they'd basically go 'I understand you, I just don't care all that much.'
This then made people fight more and more and more.

Get a thread going with that suggestion and they'll make a MEEP at some point.
I say 'they' but if you're still in that Trello you know how to get things moving. The obstacle will be Bsh1's work ethic or lack thereof. :)

FB isn't the greatest invention in that regard, Google subsidiaries as well as the Google search itself are. Facebook is second place but your point is again a thing I have issue with.
This Linux mentality of 'OMG people take the money or they take information... or both! All are evil!' is actually hilarious to me. Do you realise how many 'sinister, corrupt' people these spy mechanisms caught out? The answer is you don't. You don't know the count of the attacks and horrors that never happened thanks to intelligence agencies that caught onto things in a way and at a rate they never otherwise could.
I am not a naive fool, I know what the elite can do with this information. I understand completely that there will always be the humans who want us to return to our Imperial and even further back, Ancient Egypt, days with them as ruler. The point isn't that they exist and can get hold of such information but that if they are already in such a position, we'd literally be living in hell right here right now. The idea that deceiving people into freedom while they're actually slaves is worse than directly enslaving them is utter bullshit from pseudo-conspiracy-theorists and the sad part is that they're still far smarter than the straight up sheep yet foolish nonetheless.
Do not be an anti-sheep sheep. Understand the system and appreciate it.
As for this thread, if 'no information' wasn't an option then I'd agree but since that's an option, removing it isn't exactly necessary unless it offends many. I am a person who doesn't want to reveal that for sure and am with you guys so far on this but I know some like to show it off and have great pride in that, so like I am not sure removing it helps the site overall.

If you dislike that, tell me a colour scheme you prefer for the stuff but the nose has to stay strange to suit it (it was the best Scarface fanart I could find with regards to this site and your 'intimidating yet radiant' theme you want).

This is a website that, despite how competitive I myself get, is actually about enjoying ourselves and spending our spare time on.
It is fundamentally recreation, so the aim is to enjoy it and not to endure to do well at it when it comes down to the ultimate aim of the website. Thus, while in a professional environment or something where being a tryhard matters more, I'd less readily block someone than deal with them to get through the day, this website's aim to enjoy myself and walk away satisfied with my time spent.
So, why would I endure or 'face off' hardcore with the trolls who pick on me the most? Of course there's a correlation between people picking on me or angering me by either taking on my ego or being generally belligierent and me blocking them... I don't see why I need to be anything other than a coward with them?! Why not block them? Lol? If someone is harassing me in my recreational time, I block them and say 'see me in a professional environment or get lost out of my life' basically yeah? What the fuck do I want to come to this website to 'endure suffering' to prove something to you guys about how tolerant and great a person I am? Dream on... LMFAO!
I said my piece, that's it. This thread is what I will link every single person to who asks me to justify why I block people or 'calls me out' for being a coward with it.
Oh, and yeah I know I can see blocked people's content. That's why I like it more than on other websites. If I'm feeling particularly emotionally vulnerable and semi-triggered, I stick to my notifications and open a thread much later on to read the reply/replies from blocked users. :)

As a centrist who leans to the left myself, I am aware of what a centrist can be but I am referring to the type of centrist who stands for nothing other than popular stances.

Jesus rebuked Satan so obviously they are two separate beings. But Satan outsmarted God in the Garden of Eden by proving God was lying when he said they would die if they ate the forbidden fruit. Eve ate it and didn't die. She then gave some to Adam and he didn't die. Awkward!!!
Lucifer did what you say Satan did. Lucifer isn't Satan. Satan is God of the OT. The snake was Lucifer.

- What trait do you admire more between being severely appealing and severely elusive.
- If you were on a desert island and ended up pitted between the option of being the alpha male/female or the cuck/loser what would you be on the food chain between the two?
- Are you someone who enjoys competition or wishes it wasn't a part of life?

Jesus was Lucifer.
People assume that Jesus was some new being and that Lucifer was 'sent down' as the Devil but this assumption is so utterly ridiculous as the first thing they say about Jesus is that he's coming down with fire.
Satan is described solely as the enemy of Jesus, not God. If you read the entire New Testament, you'll find that Satan is never once said to be God's enemy but instead Jesus' biggest obstacle.
Satan is the OT God, try and understand it that way.

Supa dislikes me and is a biased teenager who has little to say on the matter of which quotes are truly fascinating or brilliant. Most of my replies in this thread alone have been insanely intelligent and eloquent as both comebacks and standalone remarks.
You get more likes because I have more haters than you but you forget that I also have more allies and it isn't obvious that I am not universally hated until someone tries to capitalise on the illusion that I am. Kingladdy tried, Supadudz tried, Zeichen tried, SamStevens tried, and the only one to succeed at this overall was Bench at a time when I was only just getting into Sun Tzu's teachings and was an angsty teen with a lot of issues of my own.
I don't think you understand how many levels ahead of you I am because in this particular environment you have somehow amassed such a ridiculously high and unearned position of authority and social prowess due to what I can only describe as disgustingly naive leadership begging you to like them.
You can sit there all you want. Throw you and me in a pond of different waters and we'll see how well you tread not just socially but in raw work ethic and much else. If you had been put up against the hatred and pressures I had on this website, especially from someone like yourself, you'd become a rodent that scurries around quietly and waits patiently praying for the next foolish person to drop some cheese. I got too much ego to be like that and it's not a curse, it's a blessing. I will not sit by quietly as you taunt and bully me, I will either leave the website completely and calculate things enjoying my real life and getting priorities in order like I just did or I'll stay put and be me.
Your description of what I do to you 'just asking for it', is literally identical (literally, not metaphorically) to a rapist saying the victim was blatantly asking for it given how she/he dresses and interacts with and around him/her.
You seem to think my win condition here is to avoid you bullying me or getting people to hate you more than they hate me. It isn't. I focus solely on those who like me or don't mind me and capitalise what I have with them and it really isn't blatant until someone comes for my neck how well positioned I actually am. More lovers and more haters is a strategy that is complex to pull off, you prefer to play it the safe way and that's why you'll never be the Guru of strategy that I am but you can use an image if you want and feel superior to me.

I am a genius who has read the Bible and understood a deeper, darker story that you would never believe at first. Are you open-minded to the idea that Satan is the God of OT and that Jesus and Allah are Lucifer?
Disclaimer: I think it's fiction but I have genuine interest in a hidden storyline anyway.

@Ramshutu
What feedback did you get that was useful? Did you try some more rap battles or run away and prey on me in every single debate you could vote against me in unmoderated voting whether it's rap battle or song battle in the past three months? Please shut up pretending you have no agenda, we both know the real reason why you didn't vote on my Africa debate. You're the one who can't get me out of your mind. You think you rule me because you've ended higher in Rating due to your malicious voting agenda but in reality I rule you and enjoy knowing that you fixate on me so much that even your avatars revolve around me other than at one point around Alec.

It is easy to call something predictable in hindsight after reading it. Let's test your theory and compare you with my opponents and myself and see who actually objectively surprises you more with the quality of puns, rhyming and flow. Let me guess, you know you'll never have to do this with a brain scanner to test genuine shock so you'll lie and laugh. :)

The aim of war is to not need to fight it, Sun Tzu was a poetic and philosophical genius not a war genius. The 'art of war' wasn't even the name he wanted for his works. He wanted to write about Taoism and strategies to simply live life with threats all around you.
You say he said basic stuff out loud, what did Helu do? You think pillaging and destroying things is a talent or something to admire? No, he just was around at a time when people thought walls were the only thing you needed for defence.

Mhmm, Subutai and Khan loved pillaging, literally eating their victims alive and many other things. Sun Tzu came before them, made the theories they evolved and understood that the objective of winning war is actually a stepping stone, to achieve lack of need for war.
You can study and respect one of the most vile strategists in history. His stats are good too and much like you he picked only on easy prey to get 'top of his leaderboard', so it's a very accurate depiction. Sun Tzu understood more than body count or 'victory', he understood how to win a war while being the physically losing side. Vietnam used every single teaching of Sun Tzu (every single one) to achieve what they did vs USA, so did Nelson Mandela. Gandhi was a bit too pacifist and 'lucky' you could say but overall, most 'pacifist warriors' have been Sun Tzu-esque to severe degrees.
Subutai was a rational thinker who understood how to study war for the sake of war. Sun Tzu was a once in a generation genius who comprehended how to convert that into business acumen, political ingenuity and much much more. It is likely that after his appointment as General, he advised the very King you used in the original avatar to troll me this time, in 2 out of every 3 'political moves' that he made or chose not to make despite it being tempting.

Will is true, the experience itself is the will because we can never ever know if the 'us' is choosing or the experience of the choice is thrust upon us. Really, we can't know because it is contingent on whether or not reality is fundamentally a simulation (no free will) or authentically physical and random (actual free will).
Even in the scenario of actual free will, we begin to realise that given all the physical components and every random element that the 'coming together' of everything to lead to the decision being made is inevitable within the framework of randomness so while there will is free of pre-assertion it is not really free of instantaneous quasi-determinism.

Confirmation bias at its finest:
There are those who’s opinions I respect, their behaviours I view as ethical and genuinely done for good reasons: and if they disliked my behaviour or things I do, I’d be wary of that as it would imply my behaviour is falling short.
I wonder what you then determine whether your respect is misplaced with...

That's where you're wrong, I actually was joking.If you hadn't blocked me for no reason and just taken a joke, I would have respecting your wishes.However very obviously you are very mean spirited and have little respect for people and are willing to just block people for no reason. Since you don't respect me, why should I respect you?Also by the way, me and ramshutu were joking again.
No, this is where you're wrong. It was your irresponsibility and incapacity to convey a joke that led to me taking literally what you meant as a joke. You're also deluded in thinking that Ramshutu was joking about paying you to write my page, he genuinely wants to humiliate me that much. He is deadly serious about writing my page, you're the one in the dark clearly.
I didn't disrespect you by blocking you, I respected that you can upset me and reduce the quality of my enjoyment of the website. You already sicken me with how you climb the forum leaderboard almost solely on tactical spam (this thread) and non-tactical spam (the REEE thread). I have a lot of reasons to block you and you replying that mocking and disrespectful to me, even if it was meant as a joke, shows how little regard you have for me or my wishes.

If this was false you would be able to mention a single person you didn't block that you have been involved in a heated exchange with.
- Virtuoso I wouldn't block even if it were viable but Bsh1 I would, so Virtuoso counts.
- Outplayz
- coal
- DrChristineFord
- Mike/Admin (like Virt, he is on my friend's list, I wouldn't block even if I could)
- GreyParrot
- Mharman
- MrMaestro
- Nd24007
- 3RU7AL
Those are just the ones who are on my friends list and have easy-to-refer-to highly heated exchanges. There's plenty more.
