So is your lack of concern for the victimization of Will Schryver. Very telling.

why me wrote:I consider Will and Dan to be victims. Dan was one of the first to be personally attacked by posters. And Will filled Dan's place in being mocked and bashed. However, Will does respond harshly at times. But I consider him to be a victim of the atmosphere here.


You can't be serious...tell me you are not this stupid...You realize that this is the internet right? All either of them need to do is turn their computer off and not respond. They, obviously, like the attention and the blind devotion that mornons, like yourself, give them...If you find the atmosphere here so hostile, why in the world do you continue to participate especially considering NOBODY takes you seriously (at all) since you too confused to decide what biblically-based social organization you actually want to be part of....

Not speaking about Will, but Dr. Peterson has been the victim of a 5+ year campaign of character assassination, defamation, and misrepresentation. Yes, he could simply not respond, but he posts under his real name, and those results show up in search engines. I don't blame him for defending himself.

Personally, I do think that banning should not be as verboten as it is on this board. But I've always preferred moderated boards, as long as they're moderated fairly.

But I do not believe Shades can be accused of creating the culture of this board.

by the way, the culture of this board was that, with two exceptions, every poster that commented on it condemned the Juliann pictures.
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

Point me to the defamation, Simon. I want to see it for real.

If DCP was clearly defamed, I think he wouldn't put up with it. A lot of you stupid apologists throw that word around a bit too casually, in my opinion. I'm quite sure you don't know the real legal definition. (Hurry, run to wikipedia!)

So back it up.

Why? He is nothing more than a very minor political figure...You do realize that there are always 2 sides to every political campaign right? The fact that he chooses to post on message boards with highly opinionated contributors (unlike intelligent politicians) leads me to believe the he likes the attention/persecution...Probably gives him some credibility is his small circle of friends...Its probably not a bad plan for someone who is trying to become the poster child for a community of people with major persecution complexes....

I would just like to repeat what I said earlier: "Shades is no more responsible for the vile things that occur on this board than Port-a-Potty companies are responsible for the content that fills their potty tanks.

Seems to me like Dan's been on the boards for 10+ years. He's mellowed a lot. And for the record, most of the time Dan spends on the boards is not in meaty discussion. And he gives as good as he gets, as a general rule.
