    I asked this before, but if he wants Pigliucci to hear his life story so bad, why doesn't he just email him himself?Artemis

    Why not? He may have feared that a private email would not have been intercepted by lurkers everywhere, and read by thousands of complete strangers.

    This is not a fact, but a stab at the truth. I may be totally off the target.

    Currently, cognitive science suggests swearing could be a sign of poor character, dishonesty, and other deficient social skills...3017amen

    Concurrently, behavoural research suggests that swearing releaves kindey stone pressure, restores dead hair follicles to life (Hallelluyyah!) and mixes mortar for the building blocks of the Stairway to Heaven.

    Some of the famous swearers in history:

    V. I. Lenin (eeg'ee v huy),
    Inge Merkel (Schweinhunden! Der ganze Rat!)
    The Buddha (I can't believe this shit...)
    Saul, or St. Paul of the Bible (Arsenokoitei)
    The President of the United States of America (I like to grab their ***s; I like to **** with everybody's ****;
    it gives me joy to put my **** in their ****.)

    It's so much your opinion, moderation of threads.

    I wrote a perfectly reasonable and acceptable thread on religious circumcision being a crime.

    It was removed because it's your forum but no logical excuse could be/was provided.

    It's bad for philosophy to restrict philsophical discussion because one man thinks it's wrong. Whoever removes the threads, are obviously enjoying themselves.

    If this insults you, I find that repulsive. It means your hiding from debate with potentially greater minds.

    What does that say about what you're running here?

    Give people the freedom to discuss, if the thread is unpopular, it will show - you do not know if it's unpopular - the community decides.

    Or there is no community; just your heads and slaves.

    I just want to know how to write a good thread by this elusive mind's standards.

    I'm trying to fit in - I'm being courteous and try to resolve any confusion to my statements. I DON'T be stupid. Any thought on the matter is a hunkered laugh, at most, I say well-thought out - fool proof - information. I accept if you don't agree and I present arguments for my points. The fact I may be banned soon shows a corrupt, opinionated system. It's not philosophy in this scenario, is babyish, small fame.

    Okay, Baden, but it's not from the get go. All my threads were moderated. I'm not going to mention and argue for them, I'm not refusing moderation. I question only whether one man's mind can decide the standard.

    The insulting demeanour of your post seemed more stupid than anything I've ever said.

    You saying I have a clept pallate? I don't.

    What sort of logic were you expecting me to think? I don't see any argument - thesis - or retort.

    So, I'll take the buzz and be on my merry way.

    What kinda extremism? Don’t get me wrong, no big loss imo but I only read ignorant, repetitive religious stuff. None of it was extreme that I saw. Whats he say?

    Most recently there was this.

    You really want 80 lashes, don't you? ;-)

    If you plead that you are only a slave, and they believe you, then the lashing will be reduced to just 40. ;-)

    I would love to watch that: 80 vigorously administered lashes. Remember Michael Fay? He got four strokes of the cane in Singapore. If you keep saying that kind of things to random people then one day or the other you will be able to say hello on my behalf to the vigilante who will lash your butt to smithereens! ;-)

    And no it's not a joke. He had already been warned for religious misogyny etc.



    You're next on the list for continuously posting low-effort OPs in the main categories. I've had to delete four or five in just the last few days. For the very last time, stop doing that.

    Ooo, I feel so motivated. You feel like banning me then do it. If the cognitive dissonance is that strong then so be it.

    And, maybe this might come off as a surprise to you but, good threads don't only consist of a solid OP. Like, people can make mistakes, OK?

    Yeah. And I didn't even read any of the religion, gender, race or politics stuff, which is what usually gets people into hot water.

    Ya, his winking emojis dont convince me either. So much for his claims of practicing a peaceful religion.
    So from what I gather you exercise banning because of people not heeding your warnings more than shitty behaviour. Is that right?
