I mean the latter, although maybe there is one of you too who likes trolls in general ( ), but that is not what I am talking about. I just think that some (thus: not all) of the posters influence some (thus: not all) of the moderators / administrators a bit, not always but sometimes, and that we have to separate “classical” trolls from trolls who are not or at least not at once recognised as trolls by other posters and moderators / administrators. I mean: How do some (thus: not all) certain posters try to appeal to other posters here on ILP? By philosophising? No, but certain posters and moderators / administrators think that it is philosophising. By trolling? Yes, but not always in the “classical” way, because trolling on the internet has developed since the beginning of the internet.
Would you deny that there are influences between posters and moderators / administrators? - I don’t think so.
Did I say anything much different? The left wing populists say that the right wing wants the Wall Street to do what the Wall Stret wants, so it is right that it is said so, but the truth is that th left wing does the same, so that one can also say: the left wing is the right wing too (there is no real difference - except the rhetoric). Who of the cowards would ever publicly admit being a rightist? No one. Here on ILP you have the same result. Look here.
[tab]Even on ILP, no one wants to publicly be a “rightist”:

No one wants to publicly be a “rightist”.
The current fashion is still being a leftist, and in modern times the fashion dictates the moral. So “being a rightist” means currently “being evil”. But what does that mean if a leftist is also a rightist and no one wants to publicly admit being a rightist (just because the purposely made fashion forbids it).
You may elect as much as you want, you will never get a true left or a true right politics, because both are currently the same when it comes to the real politics, since the global rulers who blackmail the politicians do the real politics.
That is what the “leftists” are telling you rhetorically - over and over again.
What they extra-linguistically do is very much different from what they linguistically (rhetorically) do.
Okay, there is a little difference between the US-American “left”/“right”-thing and the European one, but this is at last negligible. It’s only words.
I am in agreement with Arminius, he is a classic Troll, and on a normal forum, would of been banned. He denigrates Germans, which uis offensive to me as a German American, making up fake German history, or just fake history in general, and goes about lecturing people how religion should be, despite being a charlatan athiest (same for Sauwelios and Fixed Cross… reminds me of the Bowling Ball scene at the end of the movie “There Will Be Blood”) and he just sometimes railing about the Jacobites of all damn things.
Then he starts threads like this. The nerve of that fucker, trying to get his chief opponents that he is jealous of banned all for the sake of gaining a monopoly on esteem as the last ape left standing. Guess what… nobody is banning anyone simply because you want it so. The reasons for banking are mysterious and cloaked in a impenetrable darkness, no one knows why it happens before, during, or after. We’ve theorized Post-Menstral Cramps may be a component on the staff’s side. No one knows for certain. You would have better luck getting what you want from Santa by secretly writing to him than getting the staff to ban… 99/100 they ignore you unless it us a stupid name request.
Turd Ferguson is the exact troll example I mentioned. He has not a tiny clue of history, of philosophy, of science, and he does not know much about his first language - but he is the first one when it comes to use lies, fakes, and ad hominems. Every now and then he uses lying “headlines” (as if he were the “popular press”) in order to hide his stupidity and his trolling and pubescent behavior. Most of the time he is trolling, lying, and faking like a pubescent child. So why is he not banned? Obviously he has been trolling since 2011 when he joined ILP. Why is he implicitly protected by the moderation or, especially, the administration? Is he Carleas’ little brother?
I’m locking this thread for having degraded into members insulting each other, where it was supposed to be about insulting ILP’s dedicated volunteer staff.
