SO crazy Ravi is back, and Doug still won't say why he banned Barry - Funny

As Ravi demonstrates, another aspect of the whole banning people thing is that
by having originally configured the group for anonymous posting, there's really
not much Rick and the mods can do if a banned person insists on posting here.
Ravi just posted as rc_racy, but when he was finished posting, he changed the
nickname to something else, and there's no way to identify him in the
subscriber list. And, once a group is configured for anonymous posting, it
can't be changed back. To even attempt to boot Ravi, a mod would literally have
to sit and watch the email traffic arrive in real time and immediately search
the subscriber list for Ravi's current posting nickname as soon as one of his
posts came in. Every time Ravi posts, I just laugh at the absurdity of the
whole situation.

Curtis - you really need to stop this malice and deception please. I don't have
the time or energy or the inclination to post here and re-hash old issues from
4 years back. The fact of the matter is Ravi didn't cause you any personal harm
nor did I cause this international conspiracy of flooding the search engines,
how hilarious and preposterous.
You got a taste of your own medicine and a taste of what your pal dishes out to
everyone else - gratuitous, egregious barrage of insults.
Please move on Curtis - stop your poor me routine.
Same goes for the likes of Xeno and empty bill, stop these personal attacks on
me.
Otherwise I agree with you. Doug's not the moderator I would have, he has been
a TM cult enabler, an unoriginal, uninteresting poster who spammed the list
repeatedly over the years. But that doesn't disqualify him from being a
moderator but I would be concerned if his moderatorship results in stopping the
freedom of expression FFL is renowned for. You are right in questioning his
motivations in banning Barry, he just needs to state clearly why he has banned
Barry that's all.
As a former poster I'm glad to see Barry go, Edg's impassioned posts
demonstrate why Barry has been such a toxic influence here and you Curtis have
been one of his greatest enablers here, and you should be ashamed for that.

Edg,
I was not in Barry's crosshairs and you were. I never viewed you through his
eyes. You and I became friends on our own as we sized each other up as good
people. So I am not judging you for your opinion of him nor him for his opinion
of you. That is between you two guys and is none of my business. I always deal
one on one and make up my own mind on people here.
If I was Barry's target I would probably feel as you do. But I would just tune
him out like I did others who went after me or find a way to interact that
suited my writing interests. And I might write as you have dancing on his grave
a bit. I get the appeal and I always enjoy reading you whatever the topic.
But the bigger issue for me isn't Barry, it is an environment I have valued for
a place to exercise free thought. It has been hijacked by someone who not only
does not value free expression, he has acted against it. I know you felt the
chill when he went after that Lynch comment as an actionable offense.
If we want to understand what freedom of speech is all about, defend it for
someone whose views we disagree with. I used to argue against banning Ravi for
raving here until he crossed over a clear line of personal harm. I thought he
deserved to be able to post because I didn't want anyone making that kind of
content judgement calls on anyone here.

I would be willing to give Turq an offer to post ONCE more.....cuz it'd be
great to see how hard he'd cram everything into it. Hilarious, right?
I tried hard as hell to like Turq, because: Curtis.
I'd do numbers on my head about "Turq's a good writer, posts some newsy stuff,
gives some headsup on films" like that like that, because Curtis is smarter
than any two of us here and he was okay with Turq, so I had to re-think this
issue many times, but every single time I posted something -- even if it was
neutral-ish and not turq-ish related and not even true-believer-ish -- BAM this
dick would go out of his way to somehow find something with which to, once
again as he did for so many here, deride me, the person, instead of trying to
uplift with countering and educating debate points.
Turq was a hunting sniper here -- shooting to crush anyone's spirit and ruin
their fucking day with a major self-esteem wound.
Psychic fucking vampire slavering to lick up any spilled blood.
Sick. Sociopath almost certainly. Willfully anti-sanity. Living inside a
bullet proof bubble. Not blinkered, blind.
I tried. He shot poisoned arrows. I am not the most lovable person, hee
fucking hee, but Turq attacked almost everyone in this manner, so I'm felling
pretty okay about being targeted "for no reason." Yeah, I post some crap here
and should be wrist slapped maybe sorta but shit, gimme a break.
Not that Turq couldn't have had great insights in the psychological and
spiritual dissonances some of us experience regularly, but that he NEVER wanted
to help anyone towards clarity -- he was only here to rape your mind in public
and then walk away like he'd slain a dragon for all our benefits.
Talk about your terror-minded, teeny brained, tawdry life intents!
I know you're reading, Turq. Ha ha ha ha ha.......payback's a bitch....and get
this: just like you NEVER gave anyone a break, I'm smackin' the fuckin' shit
outta ya when YOU'RE DOWN, because IT'S PERFECT KARMA.
And, it takes a thorn to remove a thorn -- thank you Rick for giving us Doug!
Yes, I said it! Ha ha!

OK I've done my homework Doug. You have not been dealing straight with us and
it is time for you to man up and explain why YOU decided on your own to ban
Barry and what the reason was.
Seriously dude, you have been naughty and you owe us an explanation.
I get it that many people who post here didn't like Barry and they are happy he
is gone so they may not all as a group stand up together and call you out for
being dishonest and devious with us. They might think that the end justified
the means. This is shortsighted thinking when it comes to abuse of power.
I don't appreciate being lied to here and I am calling you out for abusing your
powers in exactly the way Rick explicitly warned you against. You are throwing
his trust back in his face by your actions as well as disrespecting everyone
who builds discussions here.
Stop dodging the legitimate questions you have been asked even by Alex.
On what specific basis have you banished Barry? What rule did he violate?
Let's put out those flaming pants with a a little truth now that you have been
busted.
