All Covid-19 measures are permanent, don't be a boiling frog!

What's your point here? That I'm not to be trusted because of something that happened on a thread once a couple of years ago?

On the feedback thread you made sure the only topic discussed was this "you sided with a holocaust denier" thing which lead to the thread being closed. I was accused of dodging questions because I wasn't replying quickly enough as well as all the other crap that's accepted here.

You may have discussed the template but you certainly did your utmost to ensure that 1, it wasn't going to be adopted as a standard and 2 that it would be thoroughly discredited by it's association with me who you went out of your way to discredit.

Do you feel that the type of stuff that gets posted here in reply to people putting forward theories is acceptable? I'm not talking about refuting their arguments, that fine of course, but the open abuse of people?

I proposed a system that would mean that YOU were holding ALL the cards. It allowed YOU to have a system that would ensure dumping links and running would be a thing of the past, that all new threads would have to meet a certain criteria to simply be considered for discussion. This favored YOU and you made sure it didn't happen.

The reason? You enjoy punching down. You enjoy feeling like the smartest person in the room and you revel in the abuse that gets handed out to anyone who dares to post here.

This is probably the most broken forum on this site, moderation appears to be non existent for example and the natives have been allowed to do as they please and that's the way you like it.

You want to make out that I'm being unreasonable for not discussing the topic? I already explained that I was name checked in this thread in relation to the template I suggested previously, that's why I'm here, simply to point out what a rotten excuse for a forum this is.

That's the usual Independent twist on a Donnelly non-answer of not ruling things out in response to yet another alarmist INMO call. They did the same back in March, completely incorrectly then as well, but they do want to run the health system in the country!

Lol. Complete fiction on your part mate.

Point it out and I'll criticize it.

Typically the abuse comes from the same people.

A thread was created here about how somebody was proud of being a conspiracy theorist, every reply was abusive and all from the same side of the aisle. That's the norm here whether you wish to admit it or not.

Except it isn't.

But it isn't though.

People can go back and have a look at the thread if they like. Or you can back up your accusations.

But since you won't do that, any comment on which covid measures will be permanent?

Any comment on how conspiracy theorists like Buzzer have been copy and pasting from twitter with no attempt to fact check or look into those claims?

Any comment on the clear hypocrisy of conspiracy theorists accusing people of fearmongering?

That's my contention in a nutshell.

The behavior here is by the standards of this site absolutely dreadful.

You're welcome. Funny that you're having a go about me not wanting to discuss the thread topic here when you gladly dragged the feedback thread so far off topic just to discredit me.

You asked if I could back up my accusations, I did, by linking to the thread you said people could go back and read, now they can.

Funny how you've moved on from that position once the link was posted. Maybe your memory of the thread isn't great, maybe you were just lying and hoping no evidence would be provided, who knows?

Yet again making me out to be unreasonable for not discussing the topic of this thread, I reiterate that I'm only here as I was name checked on the topic of the template I suggested.

I'd prefer to discuss that topic in a thread dedicated to it but the one that existed previously was locked thanks to you and your cronies so you can have a word with yourself about that issue.

Yeah, that's all they should read in your opinion isn't it?

Never mind the fact that the thread descended into a mess on foot of that issue which was completely off topic and led to it being locked. No more discussion of reform for the CT forum, phew.

What suggestions did you make to improve the forum on that thread?

I made a suggestion that gave you everything you could possibly want and all you can say about it is that the conspiracy people didn't support it. They weren't supposed to support it, you were but the fact is that by eliminating the crap from the forum your ability to act the way you do would be removed as well, which is incredibly telling about what your motivations are.

There was talk from the skeptic side on that thread about how you are performing a service by tackling conspiracy theories, the absolute hubris of such a notion seems to be completely lost on you. The only people paying attention to this forum are the small group of people who seem to dedicate their entire lives to it.

No service is being performed, you're just entertaining yourselves.

I've proved above that you're happy to engage in telling bare faced lies once they suit you, the irony, I misjudged a posters motivations once a few years ago and anytime I'm here you remind me of it but your BS is beyond reproach somehow. You're a funny guy.

You brought it up. You were not being accurate about what happened. I corrected you.

You're doing the same now.

And yes, people can look at that thread and they can see plenty of examples of me suggesting stuff.

You said:

You brought it up on the feedback thread.

And yes, I brought it up now cause you're making a similar mistake by butting into a discussion and taking a conspiracy theorist's side without knowing, or caring what he's posting.

You shouldn't do that as evidentially it leads you into some embarrassment.

And Lol. It's very funny for you to whinge at me for not answering questions.

Lol sure man.

You sound like every conspiracy theorist in here.

As much as you want it to be, the reaction to the virus isn't political. If there's another spike and health professionals advise certain measures in certain situations, then that's what we may have to do. This may come as a shock to you, but you don't know more than them :)

"Weren't we told", "didn't we conclude" - Nope.
