Re: DCP Wonders if Dr. Shades is a "bigot"

Things are getting buttoned up there fast and I won't be surprised if "Sledge" is the next victim of censorship. Note that it appears as if the "downvote" function has been universally revoked. "All positive" "everything is going great"-- posted from Pyongyang. But censorship takes its toll. He can ...

Re: Problems with the board

The main takeaway on moving content is that Shades doesn't own the database and so anyone with creative content such as top 10 lists, novels published to the board, threads like the "greatest guesser" thread, threads where apologists were supremely humiliated -- anyone who has content they care abou...

Re: Problems with the board

the offer was nullified given the present thread, but it doesn't matter since the owner never responded. I think people should consider the following: 'let's not specify the new owner(s) for the moment, but consider the possibility of moving to a new forum without the present database and starting o...

Re: Problems with the board

The "inclusion" here is pretty circular. I decided personally that the root cause of the boards problems are ultimately ownership related and started a thread here voicing my opinion that somebody needs to try and buy the board from the current owner and/or start a new board to migrate to. Dr. Shade...

Re: Kyle Rittenhouse -- innocent by self-defense?

"A militia nut carrying around a loaded assault riffle screams "I'M THE LAW!!" and is inherently threatening." Yes, I can't get passed that. When I was a kid riding in the back seat of the car with a sibling, we had this game where we'd draw an imaginary line down the middle of the seat. If either w...

Re: Tales From The Reverend’s Office: Why Won’t Daniel Peterson STFU?

"Gemli’s remark might have been, too, though. I mean, who cares whether political science tells us about the physical world?" Possibly, but I think DCP was opportunistic and missed important context. The backstory is Midgley is always getting bent out of shape, unable to answer Gemli's arguments. I'...

Re: Tales From The Reverend’s Office: Why Won’t Daniel Peterson STFU?

I thought the altercation went something like this: G: "Political science doesn't tell us anything about physical reality" D: "But "Hans Gadamer" is an obscure source who said something wordy and profound about history and knowledge in a book I've never read, but I got this from greatquotes.com!" Ge...

Re: Tales From The Reverend’s Office: Why Won’t Daniel Peterson STFU?

Thanks Stack, it sounds like contrary LM, Gadamer doesn't equate "political science" to science as science. Good thing for the proprietor he's off of Gadamer and onto Bill Dembski. Gemli is ready as ever as that's right up his alley. Billy Shears pulls off a single sniper round and Dan's grenade fiz...

Re: Problems with the board

I don't want to get into a protracted debate here but I do need to say just in case there is a misunderstanding, Icarus' offer to buy the board largely involved my own prompting for him to do so, and his attitude about it was without question one of stepping up to help the community as nobody else r...

Re: Is DCP Accusing the Brethren of Censorship?

The Rev: "SOP for Mopologetics, eh?'

Yep. Some critics out there don't get that he really is swimming in his own lane.
