Joseph,
You do understand of course, the kind of things a moderator would do. 😉

Let's not forget, Rusty, that badgering, interrogating and cornering
users is also a contribution. In the way napalm contributed to the
strategies in Vietnam, but contribution nonetheless.

Perhaps I am a bit one dimensional, and maybe you're just a bit to literalistic.
How can things like starting threads, chatting to people in games and playing people who have just joined be rendered into the "other words" 'like to argue'? Trying your hand a bit of the kind of banter you think this forum needs more of is one thing, but - gosh josephw - it's as if you are deliberately trying to be as not funny as you possibly can. 🙂

"Playing people who have just joined."

It's that quote by FMF that most concerns me. It sounds as though he takes the opportunity to take advantage of the unsuspecting newcomer. 😉

Well, we wouldn't want ole' sour puss to make a face now would we? 😉

Not to mention misrepresenting a poster's intent by deliberately obfuscation and taking quotes out of context.

Sir,
I don't think I've started very many threads myself. I don't think you have to start threads to contribute just be a part of the thread conversation. How do you think others see your tone, and attitude? Or do you even really care about that?

Kind Regards,
Sincerely,

Sir,
Are you making an accusaion of just stating a fact? I don't want to jump the gun answering. 😉 I know either way, you are not really concerned. You usually don't make statements unless there is a reason for them. Of course you do like to Joke around, sometimes taking the Joke a little too far.

Kind Regards,
Sincerely,

What the? Is this a new leaf?😲

Leaf? No. Just a ledger. An accounting ledger.

To keep record of those who, like me, will let their subscriptions
die. Just to see if the sums add up enough to compensate for the
paying bullies who now control the content and moderation of the
forum. There's a reason some are kicked out of Spirituality and
Debates, and end up in here, you know.


Paranoia, paranoia
Everybody's coming to get me
Just say you never met me
I'm running underground with the moles (digging holes)
Hear the voices in my head
I swear to God it sounds like they're snoring;
But if you're bored, then you're boring.
The agony and the irony: they're killing me (whoa).
