Enlil. This thread is not about a discussion of my debating skills or lack thereof or how 'superior' yours are. It is about another member --in this case yourself--breaking the rules, me complaining and then complaining bias at a Shroomery forum. Just thought I'd let you know.
You said you were disrespected...I was simply pointing out why people don't respect you.

Bias bans

In the past, banning with BIAS, then allowing the person back, to post again, has caused a LOT of drama. Although, it is popular to blame the person who breaks no rules... for the drama.

Prisoner#1 said:
they are your words, not mine. how can I twist what you've said
So now I have to explain what twisting another's words means? Even after doing so last time?
you didnt explain anything, you just claimed that a direct quote of of your words, exactly as you posted it was twisting your words
It means dear boy that you are using my words out of the context I meant them. Saying I dont like rules, and have insulted people in the past, and am no angel does NOT mean I do it here.
but by your definition, you do it here, I've received numerous notifications
from other users that decided to hit the button because they felt that you
flamed them. if you meant the words one way then why would you claim them
as another, we arent all mind readers so all we can go by is what you've
typed out and are now claiming you meant something different even though
you didnt clearly state your case as 'I dont do this shit here', even
though you do that here quite frequently starting with the dozens of times
you've called people that disagree with you shills, paid government agents
and other choice insults
and it's not as though you havent taken that approach, went to the admins,
laid out your case, the admins looked into it and found that you were
trying to provoke me into taking disciplinary action against you while I
remained level headed and unbiased, their finding was that you derailed a
thread, didnt like being called on it or having your beliefs questioned.
any mod can look into the BOM and verify this
in the words of the cranky texan from OTD, this aint your first rodeo
to what case do you refer?
I linked to it twice in this thread already and even quoted where you
flamed me for the umpteenth time and yet you still didnt receive a ban for
any of those or for the constant derailment of threads where you whines
about abuse of power, claims of others flaming you and nothing being done,
etc... you know, all the crap you claim you dont do
here it is again, in full

This is not a life or death topic. Many people see these things but they have not been proven real.
Alright--heard practice what you preach?
Look at this thread prisoner just locked--cos eee felt like it
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/14527694
and his reasons:
"This thread has been closed.
Reason:
3) Post with content that stimulates discussion or debate. Add your own
input to that which you plan to copy and paste whether it's a youtube
video or a website you should try and explain why you like or dislike
the concept being presented, why the ideas intimidate you or are cause
for great concern. Threads without will be locked without prejudice"
Now a) Do you think he was justified locking that thread? If yes give reasons. And if no also?
and b) do you think HE practices what he preaches?

LOL. do I KNOW how you feel:)
Take a deeeeeep breath, and know that there ARE others who can grasp what you are revealing, and I am one of them. As I have mentioned in various other places, I am also suspicious of this place. As in if we are revealing conspiracy 'out there', we cannot assume there isn't one here. I mean what we have in this 'conspiracy forum' seem to be a gang of pople who are against it, AND they have as their leader--if you will--a moderator who not only has written the rules for this forum, but ALSO, ALSO, share this gang's views and/or vice versa. Now is that not strange? Wouldn't you think that an appopinted moderator would be INTO conspiracy theory, and support the exploration OF them. Yet, no, this place is more a gatekeeper warning people off taking anything we say seriously, and attacking etc etc.
But dont be put off, we also have a number here but are not as obstreperous. I very much value your presence here mate, also 
Quote:
zzripz said:
EXACTLY! Dont apologize for your totally correct insight. See, what is happening is that a little cabal has more or less taken over the conspiracy forum with help from a moderator-prisoner- who shares their same beliefs, and thus they can hide behind him and get away with murder flouting all the rules and provoking people who have alternative beliefs, knowing that if they 'break a rule' or whatever they will be warned and banned!
THATS what is going on.
[larger]So it is complete BIAS and MISUSE of POWER, and what needs to happen is this injustice be protested above their heads, and those that do not share the in-house belief which is anti-conspiracy theories should support each other in this abuse of the Shroomery.
I mean if we want to expose what is going on in the world out there, we need also expose what is happening in these little forums.
IF the administrators don't see anything wrong with this set-up, back up what is going on, then there is nothing to do but further protest this affair and gladly leave, and then spread the word about this around the internet.
prisoner, I have already reported YOU. We shall await the outcome. If it happens I get banned you will still be abusing your moderator powers, and favouring the group you share your sorry worldview with and allowing them to flout the rules but not anyone else you dont agree with. You little Hitler you.

flames, trolls, disregard for the rules... all the things you say you dont
do in a single post by you which also happens to be the case where you've
'reported me to the admins for my abuse of power and bias' of which it was
looked into because I myself was grilled by the admins over it and they too
do not see what you claim was occuring
Quote:
Quote:
where have I suggested this? where have I suggested anything other than my
behavior and your own in relation to your claims of bias and abuse of power
You know if someone had just said to me in an adult understanding way. yes it was wrong for him to call you full of shit, and it DID break the rules, then that I would have respected that reponse far more than all this endless twaddle trying to justify yourselves that you can never be wrong.
so what you're saying is that I need to show bias, that I need to ban only the people that you complain about but allow you to do what the fuck ever you want... isnt that how it's been since you started posting? isnt that what it's really about, you throw a tantrum because you dont get your way, isnt that exactly what your little drama creation thread here is, yet another of your tantrums because once again you didnt get your way

Look boys. The bottom line is this--let this remind you:
Quote:
Ad hominem
An ad hominem argument, or argumentum ad hominem (Latin, literally "argument against the man [or person]"), is a fallacy that involves replying to an argument or assertion by attempting to discredit the person offering the argument or assertion. Ad hominem rebuttals are one of the best-known of propagandist tactics.[why, like calling them "full of shit" or "schizophrenic who is on drugs"--ya know, stuff like that?]
Simply, it is a refutation of a proposition, based solely upon some unrelated fact about the person presenting the proposition. Such refutation is said to be "against the person" (ad hominem) and not their proposition. Properly, it consists of saying that an argument is wrong because of something about the individual or organization is in error rather than about the argument itself. Moreover, it is not necessary to insult the individual or organization whose argument is attacked in order to commit the ad hominem attack. Rather, it must be clear that the purpose of the characterization is to discredit the person offering the argument, and, specifically, to invite others to discount his arguments.[yeahhh, like for example 'hey you chaps. dont bother with this person people think he is full of shit'
Three traditionally identified varieties include:
Ad hominem abusive
Involves merely (and often unfairly) insulting the opponent.
Involve pointing out factual but damning character flaws or actions.
Insults and damaging facts simply do not undermine what logical support there might be for one's opponent's arguments or assertions.
Ad hominem circumstantial
Involves pointing out that someone is in circumstances such that he or she is disposed to take a particular position.
Constitutes an attack on the bias of a person.
Does not make one's opponent's arguments, from a logical point of view, any less credible to point out that one's opponent is disposed to argue that way.
Ad hominem tu quoque (literally, "at the person, you too")
Also called the "hypocrisy" argument.
Occurs when a claim is dismissed either because it is inconsistent with other claims which the claimant is making or because it is inconsistent with the claimant's actions.
As technique of propaganda, despite its usual lack of subtlety, it is powerful and frequently used (and, sometimes, excessively). Anyone involved in political discourse, and public discourse in general, would do well to become acquainted with it.
See also: fundamental attribution error
[emphasis mine]
Go study and get back to me. This thread has been exposure of what is going on. That is it---done.
and as for this little nuggest of scapegoatery:
Quote:

I bet you a fiver that EVERY one who has supported you mr prisoner in this thread, all 5 or 6 of them all support your worldview> That is what is going on. Not ALL the Shroomery community. LOL
I have said my piece and feel I have made things clear. If I am not unfairly banned again, I do not expect fair moderation and will not ever make a complaint again against person attack, because there is absolutely no point and will just ignore them.

And still... no-one cares.
--------------------
“In politics, few talents are as richly rewarded as the ability to convince parasites that they are victims. Welfare states on both sides of the Atlantic have discovered that largesse to losers does not reduce their hostility to society, but only increases it. Far from producing gratitude, generosity is seen as an admission of guilt, and the reparations as inadequate compensation for injustices – leading to worsening behavior by the recipients.

LOL, this is still going. I wasn't even this bad at the height of my amphetamine rages. 
BOTTOM LINE:This forum is a product of Ythan's time and money. In reality you have no rights, but Ythan has extended a very generous amount of default rights to the user base so as to keep the community active and keep information flowing. Ythan, and those he's appointed to power, reserve the right to do basically whatever they damn well please; though once again Ythan was generous enough to allow this forum to function as a democracy rather than a dictatorship. That being said, we still have to circle back to the bolded text; you didn't set this site up, you didn't maintain this site, you don't pay the operating costs, and you haven't contributed anything but conspiracy theorist rubbish to this site. So be happy you're afforded the rights you do have and SHUT UP.

vinsue, teamkiller, alan rockefeller, diecommie, bothhands... in fact, I'm
pretty sure that most do not, alan for instance believes that 9/11 was an
inside job, that it was explosives and nothing that I've said has changed
his mind but instead of acting like a fool he discussed his points and
debated mine and he and I get along fine, why? because he doesnt take a
debate personally, he sees it for what it is.
I can also bet that I've banned 70% of the people that have posted in this
thread and for some reason they see things objectively, they arent butthurt
because they got busted or banned, they sucked it up and move on to have
more fun and argue with me more. I respect them even more for that and
because I respect them, I'll kick them twice as hard on the next ban
assuming they give reason for one which most do not

What a bunch of nonsense. Just because barely anyone beleives your New World Order, number magic, and "zionist conspiracy" theories doesn't mean we all agree with each other. I have had many disagreements with Prisoner#1, and have debated him many times in the forums over the years. Yet somehow I managed not to get warned or banned by him, and you have these problems constantly. Maybe its not Pris who has the problem here.
Honestly, you've been warned and banned by pretty much every mod of every forum you post in- why is Pris the problem? All I can figure is that he participates in the conspiracy forum and often disagrees with you.
In fact, pretty much every factual claim you've made in this thread has been flat out wrong:
- You claimed to have never been warned to follow the rules before being banned, yet your record shows four official warnings, and I know of many unofficial warnings you've recieved that weren't recorded.
- You claimed its pointless to submit support tickets, yet hardly a week goes by without the administration overturning at least one ban. Many members here have gotten there infractions deleted through this method.
- You claimed Prisoner doesn't ban people for insulting you, yet he posted several example of just such cases. Some received ban lengths many times longer than the longest you have ever received.
the list goes on...
Quote:
I also must point out johnm214 that the vibes I get from ALL your posts are threatening, and full of vitriol. backed up by the powers of your mod status. So it it is a bit rich to claim I attack people all the time when your whole manner seems to me in attack-mode, and provocative.
Yet its you who's constantly running into problems with everyone you interact with. We've been regular members for about the same length of time- it's been maybe a year since I started moderating. During that time you've had several meltdowns and been banned repeatedly, and I managed to avoid this- despite disagreeing with Pris and the other mods on many issues.
Maybe the problem isn't "my vibes".

b) your biggest problem is you assume the mods are supposed to be fair. They're supposed to keep the peace. uhm, fix your broken assumptions and the way of the forum may make more sense to you.
Correct. We do not enforce the rules to be fair. Life isn't fair, law enforcement is not fair, workplaces are not fair and I don't think there is any aspect of human existence that is fair.
So please stop asking us to be fair. It is not going to happen because we are real people, not robots that blindly enforce rules for no reason other than there is a rule. When I enforce a rule, I am trying to make the site better by getting rid of annoying crap. When I see someone breaking a rule, I usually let it slide unless they are being lame at the same time.
Yes, we ban annoying users at a greater rate than we ban good users. As it should be. This is the online equivalent of hippies with dreadlocks getting busted for weed more often than respectable looking people. It is unfair, but fairness is not a goal that I strive for when moderating. I keep the peace and dump annoying or pointless threads.
Zero tolerance is a symptom of zero thinking.
The fact that you have not been banned for arbitrary reasons shows that the moderators are pretty good at being fair and impartial. On most internet forums you would have been banned long ago for being annoying and stirring up drama. If you keep posting crap it is likely that you will get banned for stirring up drama, but I am not going to enforce that rule right now.
One thing I really like about this site is that people don't get banned for no reason, and when they do get bans, they are usually short and can be contested.

I have as much right to be a member of the chroomery as anyone else,
This is true...of course NO ONE here has a RIGHT to be a member of the shroomery...You're using the site for free at the discretion of the site's owner, just like the rest of us. This site is as the owner intends it to be.
Correct. It is annoying when people think they have some kind of first ammendment right to post what they want. They do not because they don't own the computers. There are no laws saying that we have to let anyone use the site.
Zzripz is a guest in our house. We might let him stay if he is cool, but if he is just going to sleep on the couch all day, never do anything productive and bother people, maybe we will ask him to move on.

alan for instance believes that 9/11 was an
inside job, that it was explosives and nothing that I've said has changed
his mind but instead of acting like a fool he discussed his points and
debated mine and he and I get along fine, why? because he doesnt take a
debate personally, he sees it for what it is.
Actually that discussion changed my mind, after reevaluating the evidence I think 9/11 was done by arab hijackers and they likely didn't have any inside help.

You really think so? I have made many more enemies than friends on this site by being an outspoken opponent of full legalization of drugs...I'm not sure that the moderators on this site agree with me at all...I know of at least two who have openly told me that they disagree with me...and yet...I have zero points in the banomatic...Where's the bias?
I disagree with your opinion about drug legalization, as do most people here, but I am glad that you post your opinion and I enjoy reading all of your posts. This would be a boring site if everyone agreed on everything. I hate preaching to the choir, I would much rather discuss drug legalization with someone who disagrees.
