Look at this baby bitch cry! What a fantastically softass snowflake! Who knew MAGAts were such insecure little twats?

If I recall correctly, a few months back, someone mentioned that there are about 4 to 5 moderators on the board. I have a question for any of the five who would like to respond. Eight hours ago, Dr. Cam reached out to me and inquired if I could suck my own dick. To me, that seems like Spirit Prison language. However, Canpakes the Moderator has been active on the board all day and has not taken any action to remove the post. My question is, does that imply that in Spirit Paradise, it's acceptable to ask someone if they engage in dick sucking? As an active moderator, Canpakes, is permitting it to remain in the Paradise community?

If more moderators are needed to censor / delete HoH's drivel, I'd happily volunteer.

Good morning, Hound!

I’ve restored two posts above that you added in support of your argument, but that you then deleted.

Those two posts were from a thread that you started with a focus on ‘parodying’ Doc Cam and others. That thread was combined with your derail ‘parodying’ Schmo in another thread. The posts above that you deleted probably did not support the point you thought that you were making, hence your backtracking.

You recently created a third thread ‘parodying’ Doc Cam and others, even including mention of a moderator who you have never interacted with … at least, not under your present user name.

All three derails and parodies are presently combined into a thread that you can use to parody anyone, as often as you’d like. I’ll even move your upcoming parody of Ceeboo into the same thread, so that the forum will know precisely where to go to enjoy your work.

Years ago, someone on the board created a thread entitled, ‘Draw Your Favorite MDB Poster’, or somesuch. It was excellent (still is, actually, aside from many of the images being no longer available due to some of the image hosting sites no longer being in existence. Yes, the thread is that old). But this self-reflective, comical and occasionally parodical journey through the crowd of regulars (1) didn’t always attempt to push up against the line of personal attack, and (2) took place in one thread, instead of drawings posted singularly as new threads for each.

That example, and the fact that the board is not served well by hosting regular, passive-aggressive ‘parodies’ of other members that someone has a beef with, are why your parody contributions have been given the elevated status and singular, purpose-oriented thread that now exists. It’s a win-win for all. : )

Understood! Essentially, what you're implying is that you lack respect for Dr. Shades.

How would that be so?

I reached out to Shades to inquire whether my parody thread was appropriate for Spirit Paradise, as I value the principles of his free speech board. He replied affirmatively, confirming that it was acceptable to post exactly what I had written in my thread. This means I have the permission to repost the same thread, and I will do so in the future.

It’s already posted. It has never been taken down or removed from this board.

This places you in a position as a moderator to challenge Dr. Shades if you remove it again, demonstrating to everyone present that you do not honor his decisions.

Hmm. Seems like it was never removed. What are you up in the night about?

Regardless of the outcome, I see it as a victory for myself.

That’s a weird statement. Is the purpose of the thread for ‘parody’, or is the purpose of the thread ro engage in rule-lawyering and challenging mods or Shades?

Also, should I be offering you a participation trophy? I can get an order going off Temu.

If you choose to remove it again, it will still remain on the thread you created about me.

If it’s still in the thread you’re referring to, then it hasn’t been removed.

Conversely, if you decide to keep it, it will appear on the board in two places.

As a duplicate post or thread - and added purposely to be a duplicate - it would likely be merged into the existing post or thread, if not removed.

If only you had restored the thread to the board after Dr. Shades gave his approval, we wouldn't be in this situation right now.

You mean, if only you had been truthful with Shades, you wouldn’t be in this position right now.

However, what you may not be considering is that I, along with many other conservatives, Republicans, and even some Democrats who contribute to the board, recognize that restoring my thread to its original state is unlikely for you to do.

It was never removed.

Doing so would require an acknowledgment of actions that exceed your responsibilities as a moderator, actions driven by emotion. It is clear to those of us who do not identify as progressive that admitting a mistake is something a progressive would rather avoid at all costs.

The mistake seems to be that you believe that you are owed the ability to duplicate posts and threads. That, and you believe that something clearly visible and available has been removed.

It was clear to me, even before your response, that you would not restore the thread, despite Dr. Shades' approval regarding the content. You are unable, both physically and mentally, to make yourself do it! It seems quite challenging for you to acknowledge any mistakes, and it recognizes this fact, as progressivism is straightforward to grasp.

That’s your prerogative. Believe away. You also claim to believe that your post was removed.

Just to clarify, I will not be taking the actions you are hoping for. I won't involve Dr. Shades in this matter to ask him to restore my thread, as you are unwilling to do so. If I proceed with that, he may very well restore it, which would mean that this entire situation between us comes to an end. At this moment, I hold the advantage, and you appear quite foolish for not restoring my thread after receiving the owner's approval to post it. You have placed yourself in a no-win situation. All that was required was to restore the thread once Shades indicated it was acceptable for me to post it. However, similar to many other progressives, you would seemingly prefer to forfeit everything, including your dignity and respect, rather than acknowledge that a conservative was right.

Sounds like everything’s good, then. You are aiming to battle moderators. So be it. I have no outstanding interest in entertaining your need for conflict. I reserve the right to change my mind if it’s a really slow week, though. : D

This brief post from our progressive friend, Molok, offers a wealth of insights for us to consider.

Initially, it is clear that by composing this post, Molok implies that Dr. Shades lacks the understanding necessary to manage a free speech discussion board, despite the fact that Shades has been doing so for approximately 15 years. Essentially, without directly labeling Shades as fool, Molok is implying that Shades lacks the understanding necessary to manage his own discussion board.

Now let’s delve deeply into the workings of the progressive brain, thanks to Molok. Molok does not request Shades to appoint him as a moderator for the discussion board in order to adhere to the moderator guidelines that Shades likely established from the outset. Instead, Molok seeks to silence a specific member due to his considerable frustration. Molok seeks to secure a new position of authority to pursue vengeance against a political stance he opposes. He seeks to quiet the dissent as he observes his friends experiencing unease.

Ultimately, Molok seeks to secure a position of authority, as he fundamentally desires the discuss Mormonism board to serve not as a platform for free speech, but rather as a space where he and his progressive associates can share their views without encountering opposing perspectives. It frustrates him that regardless of Canpakes' actions as a moderator, or how often Dr. CamnPP insults me or posters like Ceeboo, we refuse to simply disappear.

Lol, that was funny. (I quoted the whole thing because I'm not sure how far out from a binger-meltdown-and-mass-delete-of-all-my-posts we are, and this post deserves a save.)

My thread was removed, and as I mentioned, you had an opportunity to rectify the situation and still do by restoring my thread to its original state. However, as I mentioned, I recognize that you are unable to do it, both mentally and physically.

Moreover, it's clear that if you did, your progressive friends would certainly hold you accountable for yielding to the opposition. You're in a difficult situation. If you choose to do the right thing and restore the thread to its original state, it may make you appear weak. However, if you decide not to revert it now that Shades has granted me permission to post it in Spirit Paradise, I will be sure to remind you repeatedly that you lack respect for Shades.

Hey Canpakes, I’m sure Shades will see this. Can you explain why you permitted the post from Dr. Cam that asked me if I suck my own dick to stay on the board, despite it clearly violating the rules for Spirit Paradise?

Today, Dr. Cam also made multiple post referring to someone as a baby bitch troll, and he called Ceeboo a cock, a little bitch, and a passive-aggressive little pussy. Simultaneously, you are contributing to the very same thread, allowing Dr.Cam to break the rules while you watch it happen.

If more moderators are needed to censor / delete HoH's drivel, I'd happily volunteer.

In a post that totals a mere thirteen words, you have successfully captured so very much.

Imagine if you were able to recognize what it is that you have so succinctly encapsulated. You would have removed the first obstacle that is preventing you from shedding your restraints.

Apparently the first obstacle for you is recognizing blindingly obvious sarcasm.

Good try, no one believes you.
