Petition for Intellectual Honesty on Apolyton - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**Poothevokprot** · 02-12-2009, 09:00 PM

No valuable input? Outlandish claims? This could be anybody. It could even be me.

**gkruCRi1** · 02-12-2009, 09:04 PM

Oerdin is made of Cheese! - FACT!

**ionitiesk** · 02-12-2009, 09:06 PM

Really? They should know better... ban them!

**xjNo4zvD** · 02-12-2009, 09:13 PM

Oerdin is made of Cheese! - FACT!

You're thinking of the Moon.

******

If I think someone is lying--or simply gotten things wrong--I either post some authority showing he's wrong or simply write "Link?"

If you pull someone's intellectual pants down around his ankles enough times, sooner or later, he'll start wearing underwear.

It has become increasingly apparent that discussions on this site are being crippled by certain posters who have no respect for the viewpoints of others, nor provide any valuable input to the discussion or the site. These posters ignore what other people say, blatantly and persistently lie to support their point, never provide any references or citations for their outlandish claims, consistently misrepresent the positions of others (sometimes in offensive manners), and essentially lower the chance of having a meaningful discussion in anyway.

Doesn't this describe 95% of the posters on Poly, to some extent?

**fiettariaps** · 02-12-2009, 09:16 PM

It's the extremes we should get rid of.

**sat23neus2** · 02-12-2009, 09:16 PM

I dont agree with Asher on games in general - so i must be wrong. FACT...or VIEWPOINT?

You're not wrong on your game tastes. You're wrong when you say things like the noise of a console has nothing to do with hardware.

**vasyasvc** · 02-12-2009, 09:17 PM

I sign the petition!

**Vapepreab** · 02-12-2009, 09:19 PM

Let it go, already. Nobody's forcing you to pay attention to BK.

**amelveEnromma** · 02-12-2009, 09:19 PM

Nice troll.

**actrisski** · 02-12-2009, 09:25 PM

We don't know this until we hold a referendum.

You're right. Logic is overrated. Universities should abandon it, in favor of direct democracy.

**Wheldcobchoto** · 02-12-2009, 09:25 PM

Why was CivNation banned?

Amen. CivNation was a classic. Almost as cool as ottok.

**Gakeincidoniac** · 02-12-2009, 09:26 PM

Asher I'm going to want to see a cite for this outlandish claim that you're making.

I didn't ban CivNation and I couldn't find the documentation in the ban log. (I couldn't access anything prior to 2003) So I'm not sure what happened there. But I can say that I doubt he was banned for spouting stupid crap. However, it was entertaining reviewing page after page after page of the ban long and kept seeing ASHER.

My lord, Ash, I believe you probably have the record. AND NONE of them was for making stuff up or outright stupidity.

To be fair, many of those were because DanQ lacked good judgement and appointed Urban Ranger to be mod.

Also, I haven't changed but I'm banned far less now, which indicates it was not me that was the problem.

**Trercakaressy** · 02-12-2009, 09:45 PM

Don't be a monkey.

In a way, we are all monkeys.

**janeemljr** · 02-12-2009, 09:46 PM

In a way, we are all monkeys.

Doesn't mean we shouldn't try to be more.

**limpoporanique** · 02-12-2009, 10:00 PM

I think Ben is sick. Seriously. I don't know what else explains his latest expedition of making things up.

You're not any better.

Dip your line elsewhere, Drake.

**diegogo** · 02-12-2009, 10:29 PM

Stop acting like a ***** and I won't treat you like one.

Where did I complain about how you treated me?

I was just pointing out you used "womanly" like an insult, which just reinforces my perception of you as a backwater southern hick who shies away from real discussions and drops contrite one-liners instead.

Emotional maturity beyond a preteen usually takes care of those situations. The whole purpose of the ignore feature is negated when the person is quoted. So your advice was useless, is all.

**Quonuttott** · 02-12-2009, 10:34 PM

Except for certain blind spots, you're much less personally insulting when disagreeing with and/or schooling people.

IMHO.
