You have been here ~1 month and the vast majority of your posts have been hostile, repetitive, childish finger pointing. You've presented a pseudonym that behaves like the insecure redshirt freshman who tries to stand out by accusing other players of sucking at football.

It is a signal of intentioned disruption or else a delusional overinflated self-image to even consider the notion that you believe in Shades' project more than Gadianton. That is one of the most laughable things ever I've read in Terrestrial.

Back on "ignore" for you.
I am completely in agreement with this. Ceeboo throwing his lot in with this poster is unfortunate, but, to each his own.
Lem, unlike some folks here, Ceeboo "throws his lot" based on the contents of any given post, no matter who the author of said post happens to be. That, in my opinion, is a display of strong character, integrity and balance.

On the other hand, if someone determines who they "throw their lot" on by who it is that authored any given post, rather than what the actual contents of said posts are, well, let's just say that I don't find that very impressive. At all. (Free tip - That kind of thing happens far too often around here and it's really unfortunate, in my opinion)

Even if people just used the two we have it could work.

The problem with just two is there isn't extremes in which to remind people that the place they go has it's set of rules. Celestial and Telestial are extremes and everyone knows that so most just go to the middle kingdom and find a happy median. The Three Degrees are a constant reminder that all appetites and passions are to be kept within the bounds that Shades has set.

;)
You make a valid point, Shulem! We need a third name then. Limbo?

Whether various folks are angry or upset or feeling offended, forum rules remain in force and it would be a mistake for anyone to think that they have license to flaunt those rules simply because moderation is in flux.

Keep all communications "Rated PG" to "Rated PG-13" or better.

This thread belongs in Terrestrial about as much as I belong in Church on Sundays. But whatever, you all have fun with it. I'm just whining about something that doesn't really matter.

I'm sure it will be archived once decisions are made.

Part I bolded. That. literally. never. happened. :o

And not only that, that entire wall of text you posted is incoherent non-factual blather to the point of delusion. Holy cats. That is simply stunning.
The part you bolded literally happened. I literally posted a quote by Doc Cam. A QUOTE! It was a literal quote and not a paraphrase. It was literally deleted by Gadianton (a vigilante moderator) without any explanation which was literally not transparent. And the literal moderation was literally unwarranted.

canpakes pointed out to me that the post to you did happen. Had you read the exchanges before posting you would know that.

The post in question was literally deleted by Gadianton according to what he literally stated previously about the nature of his limited moderation on this board.

Had you read his post or had the slightest interest in discovering the truth by reading his posts instead of centrating on reacting to them, you would know that.

Good reminder: although the Paradise is still the wild west, Terrestrial is not. Let's cut Dean Robbers some slack and adhere to Terrestrial rules. Which gives me an idea...

Hi all! Mentalgymnast here. What has happened to this board? Looks like it may be self destructing. You better get your act together if this is going to be the reputable board of days gone by. Mud slinging, calling names, accusations…calling out each other as trolls…oh wait, that sounds/looks familiar.

So sad. Shades is probably feeling pretty blue about where this board has gone. Same ol’ players, with some new additions.

Bring ZLMB back! 🙂 Those were the days…

Of course, by the looks of it on this thread, there are those that seem to thrive and find some degree of fulfillment in rolling in the mud, so to speak. Hope you’re able to work things out and make this place more civil. I wouldn’t get my hopes up. 🙁

Regards,
MG

You may have missed about a thousand or so that Cultellus removed, for obvious reasons. : )
