Well, considering that some posts have vanished from this thread, I guess we now have a moderator moderating.

Who is the new moderator? Stem? Lem?

Hey Shades. Why didn't you put an I don't care as an option?

Holy crap. Did this thread get started to bring more Paradise drama to the rest of us?

You do not want to confront Doc Cam.
Lol.

1. You showed up and started spamming multiple threads with no mention or focus on bigotry, or hatred, or anything else other than - as you put it - trying to ‘destroy the board’.

2. Your ‘after the fact’ rationalization for your behavior was to latch on to this excuse about what other folks may have done months earlier, and out of context of any example.

3. Your ‘solution’ is a prop designed to allow you to spam and engage in trolling behavior because you know that your solution is worthless, and it’s claimed results beyond the scope of individual participants other than the alleged troll.

You solution was already tested when I asked you to stop spamming and trolling, because - as you assert - my wish for and statement to you to do so would be entirely sufficient to make you stop spamming and engaging in trolling behavior. (insert simultaneous wink and eye roll, lol).

That your ‘solution’ is ineffective - and that you know it - is obvious and proven. It’s only a cover for you to continue to try to muck things up for your own amusement.

Looks like Gadianton acted unilaterally.
Lateral movement is part of a good night's sleep. Some people sleep on their side some on their backs and while it is less common, some adults sleep on their tummy. The lateral motion of the body while breathing is something that we considered when developing premium pillows. You, like Gadianton, can have your own premium pillow at a deep discount simply by using promo code POSO for up to 67% off on your own set of premium pillows and Giza Dream sheets.

I'm following a news story and ended up in a camping forum that seems to have similar issues. Déjà vu, anyone?
Because he joined one month ago to stir up [bleep] and play the instigator. You think crustyone is legit? Troll.
Ya know .....some of these trolls need red flagged.

Who else joins a gun/ hunting forum and never adds to gun/ hunting content?

Instead spews nothing but crazy chit?
We've gotten to the point where we've created an environment where it is apparently in vogue to join a forum and post close to 900 times in less than one month with the hugely significant majority of those posts to do nothing other than to poke, prod and provoke other members. Oh well, at least it's entertaining.

On another note, because of the interesting nature of the original subject matter of this thread, if someone hears of the actual outcome of the investigation into these deaths will you please start a new thread?
Maybe there is something in the water.

You had that option - But it seems to be too late now.

No. This thread got started by Shades because he values the opinions of this community and before he makes any decisions on moderation, he wanted to hear the thoughts of said community. Rather than making a post like you did, you probably should have expressed some level of appreciation for the courtesy that Shades has extended to all of us - Or you could have just remained silent.

Is it true, however, that Atlanticmike was indeed banned and his posts moderated......
He was banned from the board? Seriously?

Guess that settles it.

I am guessing that Doc Cam can post all the bigotry he wants but nobody is allowed to criticize his bigotry. And more, since the rules do not require us to criticize bigotry, as Res points out, we cannot be expected to say or do anything.

No worries. Head on over to Great Awakening. There’s plenty for you to rail against over there, if you ever feel seriously concerned about ‘bigotry’.

The lack of transparency isn't great.
