Reviving the Board

[ceeboo]

I find it very typical and hilarious that the far right trolls who post here seem to be asking that their absurd and illogical beliefs be protected from criticism. Why it's almost like they don't actually believe in free speech, but instead want preferential treatment.

They don't have the intellect or knowledge to defend their beliefs so they troll and whine instead.

I find your entire post to be very typical and hilarious.

Speaking of history, If I recall correctly ceeboo has also mentioned that he had been banned from a board or two before settling on this lovely park.

I have indeed. Two Mormon related board bans before I found this board.

The reason I haven't been banned here, in part, is because I am deeply loved and admired by this board's creator.

yes. of course.

it is interesting that posters who have been banned repeatedly every where else end up happy here. where they are almost never, ever banned, and even then only temporarily.

i'm going to use some logic and give credit to our board policies, rather than assuming it is the (of course!) winning personalities of those banned pretty much everywhere else on the planet.

Hey DD

I’m curious what you think has gone wrong with the board.

I'm not comfortable expressing my entire thoughts. One of the reasons that I am hesitant (a big one to me) is how fond I am of the person who created this board. I like him quite a bit and I have enjoyed his board for many years. I think he has been very fair to all members spanning many years. What made this board the best one I have ever participated on (I have been on more than a few before I found this one) was two basic but critical ideas: Free speech and all are welcome here (meaning everyone has place to voice their thoughts and opinions).

That's all I am willing to say in a public post.

Ceeboo, I have a vague memory of an evolution thread or two from the past. If these are the ‘whale and raccoon’ threads, I’d like to track one down for a fresh reading; they were fun.

Do you feel as if you’re less able to post your opinions these days than then?

That's not correct. The reason that I have not been permanently banned from here is because I am one of the most admired, loved, and valuable posters that has ever participated on this board. I am also extremely wise and generous. If I wasn't so spectacular, I probably would not be enjoying the ability to post on this board. So yeah, It's not "our board policies", it's me!

But of course it's 'you'. Of course.

Yes, they were fun! The four-legged land-dwelling creature (raccoon like) evolved into the largest living organism on earth (the whale).

No, not at all. I post what I want and when I want.

I didn't forget, I just didn't want to overwhelm Marcus - And I'm modest.

Marcus, keep in mind, too, that when Ceeboo and I were arrested in Bangkok some years ago, Ceeboo’s family fronted my bail money. I’ll never forget that gift. In gratitude - as a mod - I’ll always give Ceebs the benefit of my slowest 10-count whenever he posts one of his legendary, obscenity-laced outbursts.
