Is Ichthyosaurus an alt of kirblar? They have the same posting style where they try to justify shutting down any support for anyone left of Hillary.

Also Resetera has a weird hate fetish for Glenn Greenwald. What did he do to tick him off?

That Clipjoint ban is bullshit. Mods need to stop acting like cunts who throw out bans when conversations are not to their liking because they can't handle the conversation taking place. Shut the fuck up and let the conversation flow rather than trying to stifle it. He ain't done anything in the discussion worthy of a ban. And citing some bullshit reason as "misrepresenting information" along with some vague allusions to past incidents, which if this ban was anything to go by, may be similarly bullshit, ain't justifying it. It basically reeks of "I'm tired of this fucker and this discussion, let's just ban him to stop him coming at it".

He left the IA+ off of LBGTQIA+ So you know he hates gay people.



I knew he was pure evil from the moment he said he would pray for Kevin Smith! What kind of monster prays for someone?

I get that I'm being a distinguished mentally-challenged fellow, but fuck it I live in one of the most theocratic states in the USA and have no experience with these nu age "liberal values" churches, but how exactly do lgbt friendly churches exist in the manner that excel and others are claiming?

Do they just skip that part of the bible? Do they not care about whether the congregation is going to Heaven or Hell? Do they think that the bible is just a load of old timey hooey and church is just a social thing?

It just seems so fundamentally incompatible, even more than a lot of the other silly shit the church does. It's like if I started a church that said "Bible's the word of God, but we allow coveting of your neighbor's wife and murder because God obviously wasn't aware of 2019 when he laid down these inflexible rules".

What exactly is the mods stance on church and beliefs?  I like how the mods know that to ban randomly and contribute to the general paranoia of the forum will make its population scared to question them.  Respect people and religions but sometimes not?

I hate to be so Fox News but imagine if this was a muslim actor and his Mosque.

I leave you with Tucker Carlson getting owned.

It's funny because Glenn Greenwald is very much seen as an example of the 'regressive left' by certain factions. This is mainly because of him and his associates attacking people critical of Islam. However, one thing you can say about Greenwald is he is an ardent defender of free speech, and it's that aspect of him that was never going to gel with Era types.

 :salute :salute

Not surprising, but...

User Banned (Duration Pending): Hostile comments towards staff, history of hostile behaviour

Also, Clipjoint's ban was reversed, which is surprising. Usually when they get called out when they make questionable bans they dig in their heels, ban any further discussion on the topic, and make some generic "message staff privately to ask about moderation" proclamation. I guess getting called out for such blatant, indefensible mod abuse hit a nerve? Or Royalan couldn't defend his ban of Clipjoint to the rest of the mods  :lol

I remember the ban message included “racism” initially. Clipjoint was being annoying and the BLM analogy was asking for it, but seriously doubt Clip was being racist.

In any case, both sides in that thread were pretty dumb, being honest here.

Also, given OPs always present themselves in the most flattering way possible when describing the events of an OP, I'd be prepared to bet it went more like this:
 - dude having a meltdown at post office
 - takes out phone and starts filming with a "U MAD BRO?"
 - dude having a meltdown swipes at phone then storms out of post office
 - OP follows him out while filming and going "Y U MAD THO?"
 - gets punched in the face

but obviously I believe the talk of OP only backing down when his assailant wielded a Kusari-fundo

I was at a restaurant owned by a friend who was throwing an anniversary party of sorts;  place was kinda rowdy... I look up at the bar and see my friend arguing with a guy about something, she's like 5'2" and he honestly looked like he might punch her...   Well I wanted a drink anyways and thought I would try to diffuse whatever it was.. so I walk up and say something like "Hey let's chill out let me buy some drinks we can work whatever this is out" and kinda put my hand on arguing dude's shoulder.

His friend from behind then proceeds to knock me out, and repeatedly stomped my head.  I woke up the next day in the hospital.

I have been living with the impact of a traumatic brain injury ever since (about 15 years now.)

We ended up figuring out who he was;  he was with a group of guys known to the bar, and she managed to get his name out of them.   A couple of friends of mine wanted to track him down to..uh.. do stuff, but the dude literally fled the country over it.  He was already wanted, and apparently was planning on leaving the country soon-ish anyways and was on a crack/coke rampage that night.

He apparently went to Thailand to cage fight.  lol

I think it was in relation to the liam neeson discussion that I said that way more people than most people would be comfortable thinking about go out at night deliberately looking for trouble as an excuse to lash out, which it sounds like this asshole did to you :/

Obviously you run this risk whenever you intervene in a situation like this, but I've actually diffused quite a few situations like this in the past just by talking people down.   I tried that, then I backed off to record him carry on, then I called the police, stepepd outside to see where he went, and boom. Sucker punched in the mouth as I turned around to look for him.

My plan to diffuse the situation went awry, so I proceeded to escalate the situation with my trusty telephone.  Folks, believe me when I say this, things went south fast!

Next time I'll just call the police from a distance and not even alert the person to my prescence unless they're causing physical harm to someone weaker than them. I can see exactly what I did wrong here, but these things happen. It's not always so easy to judge in the moment.

Well, shit.  Good for him for figuring it out, though.

I get that I'm being a distinguished mentally-challenged fellow, but fuck it I live in one of the most theocratic states in the USA and have no experience with these nu age "liberal values" churches, but how exactly do lgbt friendly churches exist in the manner that excel and others are claiming?

Do they just skip that part of the bible? Do they not care about whether the congregation is going to Heaven or Hell? Do they think that the bible is just a load of old timey hooey and church is just a social thing?

It just seems so fundamentally incompatible, even more than a lot of the other silly shit the church does. It's like if I started a church that said "Bible's the word of God, but we allow coveting of your neighbor's wife and murder because God obviously wasn't aware of 2019 when he laid down these inflexible rules".


Yeah, pretty much. One of the dumbest things non-religious people think is that anyone who goes to church is super dogmatic and follows shit to the letter. MOST church goers/churches are pretty chill and casually ignore the unsavory parts of the Bible/Christian history and focus on the community and positivity aspect. There's a lot of handwaving and shrugging even from true blue devout Christians, because there has to be otherwise you're going to be a monster in modern times.

I always thought most of the anti-gay parts of the bible were in the old testament in the same places that say don't touch food a menstruating woman has touched and only eat fish on Thursdays and a daughter should never be sold for less than three cows

i.e. the stuff everyone already ignores, or says that Jesus made unnecessary to follow anymore

Plus I think the supposedly pro-gay churches have more a stance of "yeah it's a sin but so is picking your nose, everyone's as much a sinner as anyone else and we're not supposed to judge each other so who tf cares"

And yet the majority of Christians subscribe to Pauline Christianity, so spare me your interpretation.
