Chez, do you think you get the place cleaned out and Bruce back?

Good luck!

That's only one barrel. It won't last the first weekend.

That Chez accepted the punishment of being a moderator freely, only shows his lack of good sense; that he took on the modship of PU shows that he lacks even more good sense than I.

Good Luck Chez and have fun while it lasts.

Facebook is a Russian plot to weaken the West, spread discord, and be the seed of a complete societal breakdown into squabbling groups of tribal peons.

You certainly seem to have the temperament for it, and the time, so I can't believe it never occurred to me to suggest it. Maybe I did.

Anyway, I'm super intrigued to see how the personal attack rule will be enforced. You know there will be tons of Politards trying to get banned and wearing it as a badge of honor. Not quite as excited about what sorts of PC censorship you have in mind though.

Yeah, I do recall that. You were the first choice that I was going to submit to the 2+2 Gods but you wisely said no. Bunny was the second, and he wisely said no. Then I asked Madnak and he said, yes. The rest is history.

Madnak disappeared (a wise move) and by some consensus in the mod forum Jib was chosen I think along with OriP. This eventually morphed into OriP being the main mod and he has done an excellent job IMO. But I can't recall all the details or timeline anymore.

SMP's multi-year effort to troll the politics forum has finally paid off! I'm sure BruceZ will return any day now.

I'm actually in favour of this new development, I think Chezland has a greater chance of syphoning the undesirables from P Alpha than PU. Like I think it's going to be a ****ing awful unreadable forum but it has been for a while.

Modding representatives in forums that have devisive topics? That sounds so reasonable.

Derek had silly hair. Good and interesting read. Worthy of a thread. I disagree with his implied and explicit premise(s): Humanity is important and needs sustaining, irrespective of his thoughts on personal identity. But that's only gleaned from the article that is at best just a whiff of his arguments, I assume.

The following quote I found in a magazine article, I copy it here for all to digest, and to weep and moan and gasp over as needed or as the spirit moves them. The original context* of the statement is very important, but I like it as a stand-a-lone axiom for how to live a full and meaningful life.

Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet. - General James "Mad Dog" Mattis (retired).

* The source said this was a statement given to Marines in Iraq (Circa 2003).
