Can we skip the English lesson please, and discuss the actual subject of the thread? *sigh*

Severian @ MAD is earning his wings as an apologist:

You must give us proof that you can't find buried treasure from looking into a hat.


Absolutely right. My guess is that to date, there have been absolutely no controlled studies with a sufficient sample population to remotely prove that this method of finding buried treasure cannot be successful performed.

One cannot blithely waltz in here with anti-hat propaganda and expect to not be challenged every step of the way.


This is how to survive at MAD: Be respectful and supportive.

I loved the post from lifeonaplate on MA&D asking for responses on certain questions and later posting on another thread that the responses never really came. LOL, that's because those who would likely respond were banned. If I recall correctly, you have Wade seeking to foster dialogue between critics and the MA&D people. I thought to myself. Would he go over to China and say I want people that believe in democracy to come out in the streets and talk about it. Most people that want dialogue there end up in some form of re-education camp or are watched like a hawk. I wonder why anyone who seeks truth, goodness and beauty in life would go to that camp.

Look, we don't stand for personal attacks around here. We'll bounce you out faster than the gates of hell will slam behind us. MODS.


Crock! You're back!

I thought you had an innate fear of hitting 1000 posts and earning God status here.

OMG!! I may have a new sig line!!!

But first, what thread was this in?

Welcome mms! Dr. Shades used to chronicle some of the more interesting parts of MAD moderating history (usually involving bannings) on his blog. Look at the very first posts of Dr. Shades blog (not the Missionary journal but the profiles) for some of the interesting Moderating parts of history.

Yes the MAD moderating is biased. They'll even admit it if you twist their arms enough. Of course the arms are invisible because of the moderating sockpuppet thing....
