Clever, but the timestamps (none / 0)
will give you away every time, ladies and gentlemen.  Greetings.

Many of you interacting with this thread may have already seen that Mr. Kenneth has already arranged a proposal for his own rule set for the debate suggested here.  However, one should be mindful of the inclusion of the judges' panel indicated. 

By viewing the member profiles alone of the users suggested, one might be inclined to believe that a 2-and-2 balance has been struck.  But not quite so.

Mr. Bobo1 and TWBA are clearly like-minded gentlemen who are often in alignment with Mr. Kenneth's mindset and statements/suggestions.&nbs p; The users hazmat and mcamelyne, not quite so much, seeming to come from the opposing direction.

However, at 12:06:38 (timestamp attached to comment), mcamelyne seems to have indicated here that he supports Mr. Kenneth and is eager to read his side of the debate. 

At 12:38:42, Mr. Kenneth puts forth his own proposed set of rules in a seperate thread, not even half an hour after receiving this 'go get 'em' from user mcamelyne. 

This, I believe, is not coincidence.  While bringing hazmat and mcamelyne to the judges' panel appears to be an act of balance and fairness, Mr. Kenneth already has the timestamped encouragement of one of these two judges, thus attempting to circumnavigate the original debate and 'play with a loaded deck', to use simple parlance. 

This is precisely the sort of subterfuge which leads to certain members of the forum, or of the outer community, lending no credibility to others.

100 to 1 (none / 0)
Yes, I did see that.  I believe that's what's known as a majority, sir, a concept which individuals of the conservative and Republican party seem to be having some considerable trouble dealing with. 

Yourself, apparently, included.

In the case of this forum, Mr. Kenneth, I don't believe immersion therapy is going to work for you, though I would recommend it for any number of lesser phobias.  But this particular psychoanalytical treatment does not work for those individuals suffering from a persecution complex.

Good day, sir.

sock puppet bullshit (none / 0)

wow this sock puppet bullshit is getting really out of hand.  Frankly this is a big reason I stopped wasting my time here for most of last year.  Seriously this place reminds me of an elementary school playground sometimes. Can people please just grow the fuck up! 

I wish there was a way to show who was a paid member and at what level.   I know Ken and Fred are probably petty enough to buy extra memberships just to make their sock puppets seem more credible, but at least TYT would benefit and we'd have a better idea who were real posters.  Of course if we had mature adults participating in the forum none of this would be necessary.

Sockpuppet Bullshit indeed (none / 0)

Since you haven't been around you missed Kens sock puppets wishing for my early death due to my medical condition. Cancer is oh so hilarious.

The sock puppet problem could be solved simply by establishing and enforcing rules of conduct, appointing or hiring a proactive moderator, adding an ignore function and fixing the rating system.  No rules breeds anarchy. Ken has dominated this Forum by sheer repetition (about 20% of ALL posts )and applying his life philosophy to his blogging: I don't care about you ( Or in his terms Go Fuck yourself" ), I got mine.

For the record I have never claimed that membership gave me extra privileges.

On the other hand here is your friend expounding on "Paying" for TYT. ( BTW are you "converted" yet. That was Kens claim for a while... )

[editor's note, by MRFred] TYT membership is not required for Forum participation. The forum has been varously described by Mr Koller as a fan site for TYT.

---I have never joined TYT, but I would be delighted to hit a PayPal button from time-to-time in order to make a contribution. Dave, why don't you add this feature?

--I don't care if the new guy served in the Coast Guard, or he served as a Candy Striper, or he served as a Rubbish Removal Specialist, or he did something much less dangerous and served in the Canadian Navy.His opinions on political issues are no more valid than mine, because I'm the guy in the forum who has been paying for all of these services.

---Dave the Moderator was just being nice to Tiny the Homo. He didn't know how to tell him that Ken The Texans pays a lot of money to post in the Forum.He should have answered like this:Gay Guy go bye bye?Well, bye bye Gay Guy

---The stupid motherfucker has five total posts to his name, and now he's trying to make rules of engagement on who to can talk with whom at TYT

---I've been blogging here for four years. You've been blogging here for a few weeks.I pay for the privilege of blogging.

---That means the only person who can make me leave is Dave Koller, and all he has to do is ask.That means that I have to continue paying Dave a lot of protection money if I want to stick around.That means that I will outlast "Whipped Topping".

nostalgia for a simpler time i guess (none / 0)

Believe it or not there was a time where this was a relatively civil place where adults could discuss political differences calmly and rationally without resulting to insults and accusations of sock puppetry.  It was a time before Ken became so narcissistic and shrill and Fred became so bitter.  Then again I'm sure there are plenty on this board who love it the way it is and actively seek to antagonize and drive off anyone who espouses an option contrary to the DNC party line.  The only thing worse than a petty, catty forum is one where there are no dissenting opinions.

Guns and Ammo (none / 0)
I've been a member of the guns and ammo forum for almost as long as I've been here.  I get about the same level of respect over there that you get here.  There are a few that I can have a reasonable discussion with, but the rest just spout tired, thoughtless talking points they heard on Rush or Beck.  I don't however ever resort to personal attacks or childish games that you seem to enjoy getting caught up in with some of the less cerebral members of TYT forum.
