Title: hitech was right
Post by: guncrasher on December 14, 2020, 10:06:09 PM
you wonder why hitech changed 2 rules? if you look back a couple of postings ago, he mentioned something. just wonder if anybody else noticed why he changed the 2 rules. I have an idea, but not really sure.

I've noticed a lot of protest songs from my youth are ironically appropriate again.

Why would you wonder or have an idea :headscratch:
He clearly stated he can’t keep up with all the threads/posts about politics, flaming, baiting etc....
You want him to mute and/or ban paying customers for things said here?

I think if he gave 4, 5 guys a vacation you wouldnt see any threads with political crap anymore. After they come back they are on probation and the first time out of line and much bigger suspension. Talking 20 minutes work here.

He always has. Those who can't follow the rules would be gone. Looks like he is sick of babysitting and the end is near.
Sure hope your wrong, assuming you mean end of AH.
I can certainly stop, hopefully the rest can too if that’s what it takes. We lived without it when Skuzzy was around...
Yes, I’m sure it’s been causing HT a huge headache and I apologize to him for getting sucked into it and contributing to it!
Hopefully we can all extend olive branches and get back to things about the game or things about more interesting and less frustrating things in the O’Club.

Sounds good to me.
I love a good political talk, but reading what has been posted makes me nauseous.

Or he thinks the issue at hand is big enough to lift a couple of bbs rules while we get ut out of our systems...
If a bunch of old men whining on a bbs is enough to kill AH it is dead anyway

Considering they've been spouting crap for a while now? Not sure why he just doesn't PNG and move on.

Pot meet kettle. That's an ad hominem right there.
Just no need for name calling, is my point. The POS's and GFY's, etc., unnecessary. Disagreeing is fine, I think even talking politics is fine, but some can't do it with civility.

When people say "I need help" "I'm off my meds" "I'm a domestic terrorist" for presenting information that goes against their narrative. I will attack back.
But you use my comments as the example, and not theirs, which is typical.

I'm sorry, man. I did not mean to only pick yours out, in fact, I did not notice who said what. I just remember reading those things recently. "Name calling" and ad hominem works both ways, you are correct.

Damn, Eagler, you've always been my hero and role model. I mean the way you rant yourself all over the forum, lately, everyone should be cowering in fear and wanting desperately to get into your good graces before they die of shame. I'm sure if you whip it out and they could find it that everyone would be interested in trying to pleasure you as much or almost as much as you do yourself. If not, pretend it's so and go with it. It's not like you ever let reality stand in the way of a good time.

Well there's your mistake. :D
When you let them draw you off topic and break rules they are controlling you. Stop that.
Defend yourself if it's appropriate but don't attack back. :aok

I already posted Clinton Cash and the Mena connection documentaries in other threads. Thats one example. Your faux media doesn't want to cover the Clinton foundation and its abuse to the world. They also cover up for isis and promoted Assad propaganda trying to overthrow the government, along with the brutal death of Gaddafi in Lybia which lead to more being killed in Lybia than ever and ruined that country. Along with the Benghazi attack on the ambassador for weapons to ISIS , 911 cover up, ect. Building 7 was a controlled demolition. All of this is actual terrorism that is considered "conspiracy theory" and should not questioned.
Here's another example of terrorizing the world using testing that isn't very accurate.

Contrarian scientific views and HIV/AIDS denial Mullis was quoted saying "the never-ending quest for more grants and staying with established dogmas" has hurt science. He believed that "science is being practiced by people who are dependent on being paid for what they are going to find out," not for what they actually produce. Mullis was described by some[by whom?] as an "impatient and impulsive researcher" who finds routine laboratory work boring and instead thinks about his research while driving and surfing. He came up with the idea of the polymerase chain reaction while driving along a highway.
A New York Times article listed Mullis as one of several scientists who, after success in their area of research, go on to make unfounded, sometimes bizarre statements in other areas. In his 1998 humorous autobiography proclaiming his maverick viewpoint, Mullis expressed disagreement with the scientific evidence supporting climate change and ozone depletion, the evidence that HIV causes AIDS, and asserted his belief in astrology. Mullis claimed climate change and HIV/AIDS theories were promulgated by a conspiracy of environmentalists, government agencies, and scientists attempting to preserve their careers and earn money, rather than scientific evidence. The medical and scientific consensus considers these hypotheses as pseudoscience, HIV having been conclusively proven to be the cause of AIDS and global warming strongly shown to be caused by human activities.
Mullis wrote that he began to question the AIDS consensus while writing a NIH grant progress report and being unable to find a peer-reviewed reference that HIV was the cause of AIDS. He published an alternative theory of AIDS in 1994, and questioned the scientific validity of the link between HIV and AIDS, leading some to label him an "AIDS denialist." Mullis has been criticized for his association with HIV skeptic Peter Duesberg, claiming that AIDS is an arbitrary diagnosis used when HIV antibodies are found in a patient's blood. In 2006, Mullis wrote the foreword to the book What If Everything You Thought You Knew About AIDS Was Wrong? by Christine Maggiore, an HIV-positive AIDS denialist who, along with her 3-year-old daughter, died of an AIDS-related illness in 2009. According to journalist Coby McDonald, Mullis' HIV skepticism influenced Thabo Mbeki's denialist policymaking throughout his tenure as president of South Africa from 1999 to 2008, contributing to as many as 330,000 unnecessary deaths. An article in the Skeptical Inquirer described Mullis as an "AIDS denialist with scientific credentials [who] has never done any scientific research on HIV or AIDS."However, he consulted for Specialty Labs, in Santa Monica, developing a nucleic acid based HIV test. Seth Kalichman, AIDS researcher and author of Denying AIDS, "[admits] that it seems odd to include a Nobel laureate among the who's who of AIDS pseudoscientists".

My likely only post here has to do with the title of the thread. Frankly I do not care for the way the place changed. I rarely even open a thread in the O'Club to read any more as I am more than tired of political roadkill and the strident posturing, on both sides. Never cared for trolls before and have even less tolerance for it now. One of the main reasons I left the forum that split from here years ago.

Annnnnnd this is how scientist who don't "go with the narrative" get written off as crazy or "commit suicide" one day like a lady recently.
I firmly believe Mullis knew exactly what he was dealing with.
And yes, the global warming agenda is also terrorism. Putting children and adults in permanent fear that the world will kill everyone in 10 years if we don't move to a communist control of resources. Gotta love it.
Anywho, yall have fun. Just trying to show people not everything is what it seems. We live in a world full of illusions.

Agreed. Politics, IMHO, was the main factor that ruined the old Bigweek newsgroup. People who are friends, over time, become enemies.

I expect one day to log on and see the rule has been reinstated and I am banned again for however long it was the last/ first time
In the meantime I find the info informative and the childish name calling just that

Yeah, some can’t get a few words out without the childish name calling, an indication of being emotionally out of control. Of course, they are experts. Just ask them.
