I hate to say it.....
    #5314285 - 02/18/06 06:49 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

but this forum has been running much more smoothly, and (seems) to have an increase in really great threads and topics.... since the swami cabal has been dispersed.

threads are being derailed less.
there is less hostility and subtle flaming.

I thought for a while, things would slow to a halt, or people would start getting crazy hostile..... but i perceive this forum to now be even better than before.

I think that this forum has been downright embarassing in the past couple weeks.

It's becoming harder and harder to distinguish the difference between P&S and Mysticism, Religion, & the Paranormal.

Please, your notion of cause and effect is atrocious.

This forum has always gone through cycles, and it will continue to do so. It doesn't take too much looking around to still find derailing of threads and flaming/personalisms. You refer to some powerful "Swami cabal", but none ever existed. It is the delusion of those who perceived things in such a manner that was responsible for most of the negativity, to be honest.

Unsubstantiated opinion with conclusions that cannot be addressed through philosophical means reign supreme in this thread, eh? :smirk:

Yeah, the exodus of the main sources of said difference has that effect. I really have no idea what the difference is supposed to be these days. I've been waiting for the P&S rules to be updated to make it clear, but no luck as of yet. :shrug:

BAH!

I think the cause and effect is proper!

apparently fireworks god feels that there is some sort of change, enough to the point which he would address it so.

I ask all of you who feel that this forum has been akin to MRP to please state some threads which you feel have been more prevalent since the farewell of the "swami cabal" (sorry, but I love it due to how apt it is).

I can think and name plenty of threads which have not only been thought of IMO to be superb, but openly praised by many various frequenting folk of this forum.

I think most of your responses are weak and mere blather in hopes of defending your fallen general and the aftermath which I have pointed out.

The difference between P&S and MRP has always been known and prevalent, and a few remarks stating mere opinions as factual datum in retrospect to said subject will not win this argument for you.

I know that many of the few left from the swami cabal still feel bitter and have defensive remarks regarding this sensitive subject, but even your hostility and cynicism has been quelled in this calm, post-swami era.

sure, blame it on "cycles" if you wish, but I am willing to bet that this era of "peace" and "philosophical prosperity" will flourish even under the animosity filled gaze of the remnants of swamis horde.

...............I HATE TO SAY THIS BUT...... you arguments have fallen to weak mutterings, your protests on deaf ears, and your ad hominems have been shown for the hollowness of which they possess.

(and if this post doesnt show you the difference between the two forums then I must be trying to show Anne frank card tricks)

Flaming and personal analysis.

P.s. I think the name you are looking for is Helen Keller.

Please, you make a purely speculative claim as though it is a valid observation of reality. Your claim is a fallacy, as you have done nothing to demonstrate that the absence of Swami and his "cabal" is responsible for certain qualities of the forum becoming prevalent.

There are always subtle changes. I address such changes as natural variations on a cycle that repeatedly occurs. Such changes are far too vauge and resultant from a numerous amount of dynamics for someone to suddenly proclaim that one specific difference is responsible for a sudden Renaissance in this forum.

Quote:


since the farewell of the "swami cabal" (sorry, but I love it due to how apt it is).




The unsubstantiated nature of your proclamation is further evident in your reliance on the purported apt usage of the phrase "swami cabal". Who is this mysterious group of mercenaries responsible for holding this forum hostage? :lol: From an objective viewpoint, I know of Swami's banning, and Icelander and Veritas' choice to leave due to their view that the moderation/administration was not benevolent. No such link between them and Swami exists other than their protest of actions taken agansit Swami.

Where is this grand cabal that is an essential aspect of your assertion? :wtf:

Quote:

At any point in time one can find a handful of threads that can be characterized as "superb" and that received commendations from various frequenting folk of this forum.

Quote:

And I think you are delusional. There is no "fallen general" and no "aftermath". I propose that your illusions of grandeur do not reflect reality.

Quote:

"Said subject" is simply a few remarks existing as mere opinions that cannot be validated or confirmed.

Quote:

:lol: No basis upon which to place such "conclusions", of course.

Hey, at the very least, your theater has been enertaining. :thumbup:

Notice the subtle support F shows for the fallen heroes with his "Has Been". One could understand the bitter residue that may linger when ideals that appear to be of substance are revealed to be of dust.

And thus the young man grows, perhaps to be a better, more principled leader than those which have gone before him.

High-Five.

And which ideals are these that you speak of? Swami got banned for suspossed trolling. What is being revealed to be of dust here?

Is revealing the fallaciousness of his assertions "subtle support"?

Its just as plausible to claim that grey alien beings are no longer subjecting this forum's participants to certain kinds of radiation, so now we are experiencing a different, better, vaugely defined state.  :eek:
