He must be the best philosophy moderator there is.
Completely absent, and yet the forum is free (save of course yours truly and other Nietzscheans and remnants of Schopenhauerians) of idiots and goons.
This is the art, making it look easy.
This is to all intents and purposes a mod less forum and is a good thing both in principle and practice
With no more than four members on at any one time it is not really necessary to have any mods here
In fact given the slow speed of discourse I sometimes wonder how the forum still manages to survive
Philosophy Now is virtually the same : two mods who do as little as possible but always delete posts without notification which is standard practice there
More ad homs than here but still quite benign and as with here as well a rather small membership that usually has no more than four on at the same time
I like the intimacy and openness of both so hope they remain up for as long as possible
Come on you really are gonna complain we have an audience?
I always write with the lurkers, present and future, in mind. If it wasn’t for lurkers how would I get my ideas out into the big bad world through this most friendly portal?
I count on my ideas getting ‘stolen’.
The bird-realm .
He’s not in your wine cellar eating the mould for psychoactive results?
Yes, and youve courageously purged the site of antisemites and generally racists. Its like the only place online where racism, either explicit or in political correct implied racism isn’t one of the grounding assumptions.
Very ugly the world has become and you stood your ground and kept civility intact.
When you were being trolled I was being trolled at least as much, some ten posters were continuously slandering me on several forums at once. Weird times. The second Obama term was the truly uncanny guest of nihilism. Obama, the disappointment.
If I read my posts from the first Obama term Im the most explicit liberal and supporter of him on the site.
I just… had to change my mind during that bleak time around 2014 when we were so close to world-destruction and human slavery had been nationalized in several countries our “civilization” had “liberated”.
Most mods gave up or in that time, you stuck around. WHY???
but thanks.
I like being an all-encompassing being Meno_ and I like effecting positive change, but it shouldn’t be at the detriment of others or ourselves, but sometimes it is, and then we suffer, when change is forced on us by Governments and such.
Enforced change breeds hatred, and then the world wonders why we are in this current state of Nationalism and upheaval… upheaval, so that an enforced agenda can be implemented and the vulnerable continued to be taken advantage of, ergo Weinstein and Epstein.
