At best it saves the thread moderator a small job of editing and warning before banning. The downside is much bigger.

If I ever do one of these, I will give everyone a chance to be civil, and work from there. Sounds like work though.

Plz. Im far from a sexist idiot but the screamers want to paint me as that so that my opinion can be disregarded at oportune times. Its easier to just slap a label on someone and refuse to take a possibly losing discussion with that label as an excuse.

Sput, can I get some bullet points about why you disapprove of feminism?

Those on the LoSD are so, so bitter about this thread. So bitter. Never could have anticipated such delicious bitterness. High fives all around for my people ITT.
11-06-2014 , 08:37 PM
Celebrating their bitterness is against the spirit of this thread IMO.

Keeed DESPERATE for mod intervention to remove this thread or let him in. Permasmile reading him gripe in the mod discussion thread.

Until either of these things happen, let the good times roll! Remember when he thought it was embarrassing for the US to lose to Belgium simply because Belgium is a physically small nation? LOL Keeed.

Vote NO in JJ's thread to keep sticking it to those on the LoSD in ways that really piss them off! Now! We need more than 50% no's.

You're the one knowingly posting in threads you're barred from broski. That's about as umad as it gets.

Next person to post ITT who isn't allowed may just get banned because I'm kind of tired of people being babies tonight.

Other than you buckling to Keeed's pressure, I'm a big fan of yours sir.

Hey Goofy...u mad? So mad that I've created a thread where you're not welcome to come spread the same **** that you & yours spread everywhere else. You and Keeed had to come try and break in!

Paaaaaaathetic. Will enjoy it at least for the next day or two.

Sput, I genuinely hope you get a chance to post the reasons you dislike feminism before the drollers take over and scare off the chance for a civil discussion.
11-07-2014 , 09:04 AM
Hey we can still do all this political talk and stuff without talking shyt about the posters on your exclusion list. I got no sympathy for them, but lets talk politics. Women, eh? Can't live withem, can't f*** cold yogurt all day!

DIB, Are you familiar with the practice by hospitals known as 'mental health or psychiatric diversion'?

I have witnessed what appears to be disturbing discrimination against people with mental illness by a hospital using this practice in recent times. For example, a stroke victim was turned away from the ER for no other apparent reason than having a mental health condition. What is even more disturbing is that it appears to be perfectly legal or the hospital administration is really stupid.

No I'm not familiar with it. So if not the ER, where are these people "diverted" to for treatment of their medical emergency?

No where. Diversion seems to simply be a clever term for refusal of service. People who go to the ER in a mental health crisis are also turned away. This is mainly people who are thinking of suicide from what I have observed.

The state shut down all the actual mental health hospitals in the last few years and the non-profits that run the public mental health services send people to the ER who call the crisis hotline. It's a set-up to fail.

It's become a recent project of mine to learn more about and how to stop this practice.

My favorite teacher last year was adjunct and his FT job was screening folks who arrived to ERs presenting with mental health issues. Thought that was a super cool job. But yeah, concerning to say the least that people are being refused service at some ERs...especially if they're not even getting referrals or anything.

I don't think it's fair to 'make fun' or ridicule the ppl excluded from this thread.

Take Dids, I used to find him very annoying back as mod of OOT and his general posting style. But when you learn a bit more about his unfortunate existence (pictures of him, cat stories, baldness and red beard, whining about jj's modding in a forum he can't stay away from) it's hard not to have compassion for the guy. We're ****ing human beings after all.

Gizmo used to be a moderately attractive young woman who used to be so desperate for attention she posted pictures of herself in her underwear on a poker forum who now finds herself on the wrong side of 30 with an addiction to cats and lost causes...which brings me to...

Anais.

Then you have MrWookie. Another guy who, for some reason, seems desperate to shut this forum down. Why? I really don't know. Perhaps it has something to do with a perceived authority that has somewhat diminished. No longer can he infract and ban ppl w dissenting opinions. His power is slipping, and he's scared. It's obvious.

Finally is Fly. A very, very, very, very angry man. Life must've been particularly difficult on this guy...not Dids difficult, but tough nonetheless.

I don't know who the rest are.

I think we owe them a bit of charitable understanding and sympathy. Let's leave the personal attacks out of this thread.

I wasn't sure how, but I was def gonna target Dids based on his exposure in the kitten pics. Beat me to it.
