MushroomTrip for mod?

Should MushroomTrip be a mod in P&S? Come on now, be honest. Don't you think she should get a chance?

She is one of the most arrogant people i have ever come across. I'm surprised she hasn't been banned before, she seems incapable of debating without using personalisms.

Veritas is a good poster and I can grudgingly understand the rationale behind some of her decisions as moderator.
On the other hand, I've never seen anything I liked come from MT. To the contrary, I see rambling, egotistical, meaningless heaps of pointless semantics and constant vomit-inducing ass-slapping with Fireworks_God. She deserves no power what so ever over that forum. It will become even less open to new ideas with her in control.

I think you guys are afraid of women. The forum is much better with Veritas as a mod. If one woman can make it that much better, two women would fix it completely. Why should guys have all the power?

Don't strawman me. I like Veritas fine. MT, on the other hand, is nails on a chalkboard.
I'd be just as outraged if you suggested Fireworks_God for mod.

Yes, but if you actually read F_G's posts, he actually comes across as intelligent. MT, on the other hand, seems to be argumentative just for the sake of being argumentative.

Nope, this is me. Neither of us would even want to be a mod, so I don't see why adjust had to make this in the first place but to satisfy his lust for her.

I don't see him often, honestly. But when I do see him he's engaging in exactly the same type of wall-of-text run-'em-till-they're-blue-in-the-face debate style as MT. They are both ruiners of threads from what I have seen and don't seem to contribute much to discussion other than flirtation with each other and a tragically highfalutin equivalent to OC's concise skepticism.

Yeah, I see you there, getting ready to pick apart everything I say sentence-by-sentence while introducing several new tangentially related subjects with each rebuttal until the discussion is rendered totally incoherent. No thanks.

Sentence by sentence is the best way to take what your saying out of context while also drawing the debate into semi related, trivialities. Thus avoiding the central point of the argument, while also making the conversation incoherent enough that their ramblings actually fit in perfectly.

Hey, we've all got our own styles of debate, I'm just glad I've only seen your debates as an observer. I guess you could take that as a compliment. I don't think our viewpoints run particularly contrary. I'd just go insane if i had to deal with that kind of argument. I can deal with a complex point-by-point argument, but I also like them to remain on-point. You are a master of rhetorical obfuscation.

Nice thought, but I don't see any relevance, as taking things line-by-line is a technique employed by me only in certain circumstances. Sometimes the central point that someone is making isn't what others are interested in debating, so they instead focus on inconsistencies and other weak areas. If anything, it can be a good service to those proposing ideas, as weaker elements can be demonstrated as so and more accurate reflections of reality can be put in their place.
I think some people might get butt-hurt that someone isn't agreeing with them.

I'm sure there are times I've gotten bogged down in the process of a complex argument and things have become less clear, as I'm not perfect, but sometimes it just might be the failure of others themselves to keep a sense of perspective of why things led down a certain path in the first place. It takes two to tango, and it can't always be just my fault for why we might not make it out of the rabbit-hole on occasion.

This is quite true. It makes me wonder if it's partly my concise argumentative style that generally keeps you and MT off my ass. 
Hey, you guys are all right, I just tend to be antagonistic when I'm anonymous. Also I agree with you that MT shouldn't be mod.

I take the fact that those two posters generally leave me alone when I do post as approval. If I said anything they could refute they'd be on it like white on rice. As it stands I'm generally very short-spoken on P&S and avoid speaking in absolutes. The biggest debates I've had in recent memory were about pretty clear-cut subjects like Intelligent Design where I'm very certain about my anti position.
I don't feel like getting too heavily involved in more metaphysical discussions for now. I'm still working the way I phrase my ideas about consciousness, cause and effect, time, archetypes, et cetera. My metaphysical vocabulary not nearly as developed as my literal vocabulary. I would like to be able to express my somewhat animistic perspectives in a clear-cut, sensible way that is not likely to provoke attempts at refutation.
I don't know if that's possible, but it feels that way to me at the moment. I still have learning to do.

Anybody can refute anything. Anybody can pick apart a philosophy BUT it does nothing to aid discussion.
How does it further someones ideas or help anybody?
It doesn't. Its just a way of being an asshole.
I stopped going to P&S because I was tired of explaining that I wanted discussion on a possible theory when all I recieved was 2-3 douchebags trying to make you look like an idiot by claiming you have total belief which is incorrect.
How many times can you explain that an idea is not nessacerily your belief? How many times can you be told to prove something which is unprovable.
Its rediculous. Why anybody would sit there refuting all day is something I cannot understand. I suppose they feel intelligent yet it takes no intelligence to say 'prove it' or come up with some smirky comment.
I'm here to learn too. Not to argue technicalities of the language barrier or the ability to prove the unprovable over and over again.

Do you know how many things in there in one day there are which I could take the fun in refuting? Like I was mentioning before, I post much less frequently than I used to, the last couple days being an exception because we have been researching for a new project for ourselves, and while we're sitting on the computer, its nice to jab at ideas here and there to break up the monotony of research. Based on talking with you here, though, I'm sure there isn't much to object to in your posts there.

If debate itself is a way of being an asshole, then obviously you are right. If it isn't, then you're attributing personal characteristics to individuals who are engaging in critical, ideological discussion, for that purpose. Most people who post in P&S know that the forum is for the fun of proposing ideas and having different people with different perspectives criticize or affirm them, in order for everyone involved to learn.

Sure, there are people who take debate to nonsensical extremes, for a wide variety of reasons, but I don't understand why this should stand in the way of others being free to debate in the ways they wish. There's nothing saying someone has to reply to another, and obviously there are far more users than two or three douchebags who use the forum, so it really does sound like a personal preference regarding using P&S, and not some inherent problem with the forum itself.

It doesn't bother me to see so many negative views on MT, especially considering how much people feel compelled to take how someone chooses to debate in P&S and so forth and somehow create a complete personality description for them, not to mention the fact that she doesn't post here to make herself known as a person but to have fun with vigorously debating ideas, but I thought I'd take a moment to speak positively about her as a person.
As contrary as this is to the expert deduction of the individual who has seen "plenty of pictures of her, all with no smile", as though this was some sort of judgment on her character, she's grinning and laughing for the vast majority of every day, and is always full of love, energy, and humor. She's the biggest sweet-heart ever. She pretty much breathes creative energy, and how quickly she progresses in the very short time since she's begun to learn how to play guitar and create music on the computer is stunning. She loves playing with animals and has more compassion for them than any person I've ever met. Her mind is very sharp and clever (she's licensed as a lawyer and now taking her master's in psychology, despite the fact that she never goes to any of their classes), and she's more than capable of taking on anything this planet could offer. She's not afraid in the slightest of being honest with herself or others, and I've always been touched so much by how we've grown together by simply opening up to each other. Simply being with her has changed me in so many great ways. She's a wonderful being who has blown life, love, and awareness into me, and I consider myself the luckiest person on the planet to be with her. 
She's also incredibly sexy, completely tuned into who she is and her own sexual energy, and its absolutely mind-blowing. She takes care of herself physically quite well, and there's absolutely no evidence that she's going to age horribly. Again, not sure how I could be this lucky, but there it is.


I could care less about convincing anyone though; this post is for her.

I don't see her as a bad person. I just think she should be less critical, even though i am myself on others viewpoints. There's just a time and place for everything and sometimes i see the both of you expressing those abilities of yours at the wrong time. As a person, i'm sure shes pure. As her persona on the internet as of lately, is not so identical to how i see her in real life. It's understandable. You know her better than the rest of us She should just come off and express herself if that is how she is in person. Internet IS serious business when discussing serious matters.

I retract my previous post about the both of you sucking my fatty. I was in a bad mood and i apologize.

P&Sers come here often because we like to talk about the nature of the universe without having our character come into question. Why do you think there is an anti-personalism rule in P&S? Unfortunately this rule has gone obsolete: we witness the utter domination of P&S by passive-aggressive egomaniacs who manage to make innocents feel like ignorant idiots without issuing any direct insults.
And so we resort to SA, secure in the knowledge that no one can consistently tear us to pieces when authorship is invisible from thread to thread. I made a thread about this in P&S a while ago and nobody caught on. Go figure.

Welcome to like 8 years ago. This is just the fallout from the Swami reign. Why do you think they split S&P into MR&P and P&S

I'm aware of the history of the boards. I just think it's a stupid fucking thing that it worked out that way, because the separation has made both boards intolerable. I'm pretty sure I defended P&S earlier in this thread but that was right before I got sick of the repetition.
I love OC and I appreciate what he does for P&S, but at the same time I wish he would temper his rampant addiction to debunking, meaningful or not, so that a split like this wouldn't need to happen.

The P&S forum is a lost cause for discussing anything P&S related. I regularly find more interesting/constructive conversations in the pub, politics, p&mh, s&t and AA.

Are you serious?
If OC and MT really bother you that much, just ignore them. I've read many recent, interesting posts in P&S and have posted quite a few myself. The no personalism rule is almost necessary for good debate.

It's not OC and MT that bother me, it's that 90% of the forum's users appear to worship them as the geniuses they position themselves as. Being that those two users (as well as some others) seem perfectly content to talk about the same shit forever, discussion at P&S is only novel when you're new to the forum.

Examples, or I really can't believe you.
Most of the members ignore OC's trolling except when he makes good puns. MT is the only one who bogs down debate sometimes with her infuriating literalism, but that's easily ignored in favor of other good discussion.

Literalism and skepticism are the order of the day in P&S. Most threads there are the umpteenth rehash of a very basic spiritual/philosophical concept whittled down into nothing by puns and limited, skeptical thinking. There are exceptions, of course, but it really is somewhat of an intellectual wasteland once you get used to it.

Is it just me, or does daytripper answer even the simplest question with an incomprehensible mish-mash of philosophical jargon?
Here are a few excerpts from his recent 'What is Humanism?' thread:
"The original understanding of culture was just a substantial blob of interrelated cells that you could do anything you want with. This only meant an interrelation of similar parts (like as I described humanism).
But now culture itself is "relative", completely opposite to its original substance (Think Spinoza - substance is God).
It seems to me the fall of Godliness just brought forth a more indescript form of dogma.
But it is also the non-particular recognition of human to human relations - acknowledging that the self is only self in the terms of other, the subject in terms of object; ie language, the social contract, an arbitrary token of reality. Something we have been doing long before this particular humanism.
Human rights is exactly what I am talking about, though this seems a bit dire. Its the same paradox. For 'Universal' rights, there certainly is no social contract, otherwise we would have the choice to sign on. But even if we did have a choice, this signing is no different. The nature of all signs is a game. Rather, its just a game, but you have to play by the rules. Paradoxically, the game is both serious and not serious."
What the Hell? I'm sure I could understand what he's trying to say, but is it worth the time I'd have to invest? I have nothing against the guy, but most of his posts may as well be written in Chinese for all I'm concerned.
Lakefingers usually confuses me, too.
I like Mr. Mushrooms, though. His points follow each other logically, he explains himself clearly and thoroughly, and he writes like a pro. P&S could use more mushroom-men.

I'll agree there are quality posters in P&S, it just seems like you have to wade through a bog of empty masturbatory rhetoric to find them.

Mr. Mushrooms is a weak link. Like a picture of Brad Pit in a magazine, he looks great and easy to accept. But you realize regular reading crumples and eventually disintegrates the page and the message.

Mr. Mushrooms has clarity because his ideas are simplistic, and poorly written. At least he has the common sense to stay out of threads created by his betters. Zannennagara, daytripper23, Arden and a host of others are far better at conveying abtruse truth, albeit not always easy to understand in their prose.

Zannennagara is the man.
As for daytripper, he uses big words, but I never do find any deep, worthwhile ideas springing from his shitbox. People who wrap their simple ideas in big words have the tendency to deceive those who don't care to pay attention to detail.
