Next question. What exactly is it that makes chez unpopular? Defending Bruce? Being a passive mod "letting all flowers, also the ugly, bloom"? Something else?

Should've known when I opened the thread you'd have got to this first, but here's the highlight, the repeated referencing of which led me to become the founding father of Wil's ignore list:

Quote:

Then you are either completely inexperienced in dealing with children or a fool.

I have countless examples where parents used physical discipline and almost all other adults agreed it was the best course of action.

One friend had his 12 year old son punch his wife in the face after an argument. He immediately left work and physically disciplined him.

Guy I worked with said his father only ever hit him once. He liked building home made explosive devices as a kid. He blew up his shed and almost killed his little sister. His father, in a rage, ran across the yard and punched him in the face. He never did that again.

My best friend was hit by his father once in his life, when he climbed down into a sewer to get a ball. He never did that again.

My other friend has 2 children, a 6 year old boy and an infant. His mother left the baby in a basinet and the boy in the room to grab soemthing in another room. When she came back her son had his hand over the infants mouth and pinching her nose, suffocating his little sister. She immediately smacked him and after he stopped crying explained to him for quite a while that what he was doing could have killed her.

Guy I worked with has 4 kids and his older son liked practicing wrestling moves on his younger sister. He told him countless times to stop because he may hurt her. He jumped off the railing and dropped an elbow on his sister's head. He finally had to discipline him.

When I was around 10 I liked playing with matches. I tried burning some thread hanging off a towel. The towel caught fire (was hanging on the wall) and the wall was catching on fire. My brother started screaming and my father came in and put the fire out. I could have killed my entire family. My father hit me with a belt a few times and tried his best to explain how dangerous what I did was. I never played with matches again.

So yeah, while you may think talking nice nice always works, it may not. Like, no ****, no one ever wants to hit a kid but when the next time could result in a fatal situation sometimes you have to really get your point across.

Stunning revelations included that Wil himself had ****ty parents.

My old neighbor was a cop. While she was sleeping her two sons somehow got her gun and almost killed her (bullet just missed her, hit the wall a foot from her face). Her husband beat the crap out of both of them. He wasn't "mild" about it, and I grudgingly approved. It was a case where simply talking and reasoning with the boys could have ended in a tragedy, an ass beating was necessary.

chez is ineffable. I was going 'round and 'round with him years before it was the trendy thing to do, and after all this time I still have absolutely no clear idea of who he is or why he behaves the way he does.

And I don't mean any of that in a good way.

The closest I ever got is that chez is a Rik Mayall character, but that still doesn't seem quite right.

I appreciate that, though to be fair, about half of those had to have been posts laughing at Proph about Roof Roads.

All the threads are still right there. You can go and read them.

Here's what happened:

BruceZ got triggered behind Ferguson. He started dropping some hot takes. A few SMPers started arguing with him. One was BrianTheMick2, obv, and the others were none other than FoldNDark and chezlaw. Their opposition caused him to drop even more hot takes. These takes were quoted in P. P posters infiltrated SMP. BruceZ's triggerage increased. He melted down completely. Protocols were breached. Brucez was demodded and subsequently left.

Basically, SMP kinda sorta knew he was their crazy racist uncle, but he was THEIR crazy racist uncle. So in the ensuing Fiasco they sided with him rather than siding with Great Justice.

p.s. It got to the point where FoldNDark and chez were denying they ever even argued against him, and denied he was saying anything racist. FoldN got mad at me for trying to defend him from this angle!

There's an incredible exchange I'd have to dig up where I think he says, "Nobody in SMP would say BruceZ is racist," and BTM2 chimes in with, "Uh lol no, I'd definitely say that." Not exact quotes.

we had a politician over here called enoch powell, he's dead now but was very prominent during his day. funnily enough someone else mentioned him in one of the other threads here recently.

anyway he possessed an exceptional and brilliant intellect, received a double first from cambridge university and was the recipient of various of scholarly prizes. the man was a professor at the age of 25 and also served with distinction during ww2. he described himself as a logical absolutist, ie he would go where the logic took him regardless of whether the conclusion was comfortable.

the trouble with enoch was that he was also a massively bigoted awful TERRIBLE racist.

his 'pursuit of pure logic' always ended up confirming his pre-existing biases, eg that the white race was superior to others and needed to insulate and protect itself against the influence of other races in order to remain top dog. some bloke sympathetic to the man said after his death (i'm paraphrasing) 'a clever man can convince others of anything; enoch was so clever he could convince himself of anything'.

my point: be cautious of people who claim to be following the unfettered path of reason and logic wherever it may lead. they may simply be using the process, consciously or otherwise, to confirm and justify their pre-existing biases.

Uh, no they aren't. If they had dominion over your body, they could just walk up and shoot you dead any time they please for no reason. If they do that, they go to prison for murder. If they are suspected of that, they have to answer to a jury of citizens.

You might find this interesting and informative:

Most of the prelude comes from that thread.

If a cop uses race as one of his criteria for identifying potential troublemakers, is that racism? Much of the time it's just good police work and proper application of statistics. If they didn't do it, there's would probably be a hell of a lot more blacks shot by other blacks than are killed by the supposedly "racist" cops.

Public schoolboy I think. They're often harder to read than others.

He also allowed FoldNAIDS to run rampant and censored people because of it.
