The Simple Truths Silver Mine

[PJ]

It's been a while since we had a President who was even half competent.

[opebo]

It really is shocking the desperate lengths that the majority of the moderation team has gone to justify their treatment of opebo - when it is plainly obvious (as obvious as it was that BradyNH was a rightwing sock) that this is done out of personal vendetta and not through any attempt to enforce the ToS.

I don't think this is quite accurate anymore, at this point the mods are not even trying to justify their performance. They are simply throwing out non-sequiturs when questioned to deflect criticism and quash dissent with traditional means.

Significant backlash over their treatment of opebo so they started with me last night.

I think it goes deeper.  How does opebo go from 60% FF and a forum institution to 66% HP in his opinion polls in the course of a year when he literally doesn't really post or do anything differently.  Still the same type of opinions and same type of posts about capitalism, prostitution, etc. 

I think they are just changing the results... but whatever.

This all reminds me of the lead up to the Iraq War.  All just came out of no where.

John Brown, the greatest American whoever lived.

It's amazing how benconstine is exactly the same moderate hero that he was when he was 14.

[Ebowed]

It was alleged that he was posting advice on how to pick up underage hookers on another forum...

When did you solicit advice on how to pick up underage hookers on another forum?  The very fact that you could have been alleged to do that makes me sick.

[free my dawg]

Not surprising to me. Most of them are corrupt opportunists seeking power.

Flanby is basically an Atlas poster as a world leader.

[Antonio the Sixth]

I'm still convinced that this forum was conceived as a result of natural selection.  There is no "Dave."

The Atlas atheism has been finally disproved today, when Dave descended from the heaven and kicked some ass.

[morgieb]

sh**t dripping out one's mouth is to be expected when one's head is lodged firmly up his ass.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

People of all political persuasions tend to be smug and annoying, especially to those who do not share their ideology.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Why is he not banned while opebo is banned?

Good question. I've seen far more offensive, thoughtless and crass material from Hifly in his short stint on the forum than I have from opebo in the 10+ years I've been posting here.

[Lief 🗽]

I don't want to be a net FF in this hellhole.  Could some more of you losers who have nothing better to do than discuss how everyone who has ever had sex is a myogonistic Nazi and be offended at everything and read boring posts about soda please fix this travesty? 

[Paul Kemp]

This forum is the worst.

Without Watergate, Nixon was just a crook who didn't get caught.

Continuing the Vietnam War + Secret Bombing Raids + The War on Drugs = Awful

[Velasco]

Why now?  (...)  

If he had been banned right then and there at the time of his earliest offenses (before he collected a sizable fan club), we wouldn't be having all this drama over him.  

Simple truth or not?

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

opebo - Banned because we didn't like him

ftfy

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Lewis was and hopefully will again be a great poster. It's a shame that he cared enough to leave, even if only temporarily, over someone who was so little worth it.

[Lief 🗽]

THANK DAVE we have these hilarious Internet Meme Pictographs to Laugh Out Loud Online at instead of opeobs and jmfcsts and simfans. le atlas army has arrived !!!!!!!!!

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Nothing says 'peacenik' like drone strikes!

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

A truth that is generally applicable beyond what it was directly referring to,

Certainly funnier than Sneakers O'Toole.

[MATTROSE94]

This kind of thing is what makes the GOP so up appealing to me. The Republican voters are even worse than the Republican office holders. What kind of person refuses to acknowledge the validity of concrete, objective facts and figures and expects to be taken seriously?

I have a fiscally conservative friend with two Ivy League degrees who votes Democratic because, as she once told me, "I can't see how an educated person could vote for a Republican."

[MATTROSE94]

The U.S. would be cheaper to run and more economically prosperous without Mississippi.  We should just auction it off.  Harry could be the head of global warming in the new Mississippi/whatever sh**thole wants it alliance.

[PJ]

BIG LETTERS and boldface and BOTH mean that I don't have to actually argue for my constitutional interpretations!

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Yes, around the house the Atlas is "the stupid forum." I have referred to it this way since 2006.

That's quite accurate.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Context

3. The entire Forum. Because we are here.

[Sol]

Ungodly boring. But this forum likes bland states populated with safe Nordic people (not like New Jersey with the scary Hispanics and Eye-talians!), so it will easily get FS.
