i see endless statements saying he should be banned again ...why?
he has a different view and perspective but thats not a bannable offence surely!
considering the ammount of 'personal' attacks on this guy ...baby killer ...rapist ...war criminal ...surely the thought of any bans should be directed that way?
i hate GWB and all he stands for.
i'm against this war 100% but ...i am not anti war.
i believe the guys behind bush ...are in it up to thier necks ...(911)
but ...few people here ever give ground or hold their hands up.
fewer people here would put up with being constantly labelled a rapist and baby killer and i'm surprised the mods allow such fucking drivel.

Anyway hopefully none of them are banned.
It wouldn't hurt anyone here, to hear another perspective.
But he should lay off his personal attacks on others, many of have been going on for considerably longer than the recent 'baby' stuff...
I'm not proud of my attack on him regarding Vietnam the other night but for what's worth I was pissed as a rat, it was a one off incident and I have apologised to him for it. I'm still waiting to hear his apology for his remarks about me "mutilating women", supporting such actions and having "Islamic terrorists" as "my heroes", which he's still spouting at a near-constant basis and quite unrepentantly.
As far as I'm concerned it is up to him to calm things down.
otherwise there aint a lot of point in this place ...
Why the hell should any of them be banned ? cos they have a different view to you or someone else here ?
Also if you go back to when freethepeeps started posting early this monthis we gave him a hard bloody time, myself included and we were wrong to do that but did we get a warning ?
I think people need to lay off the 'you need banning' crap cos its stinks.
and pigs might fly Rolly.
Hold on a minute - just because you don't like my politics, doesn't make me the same as Thanatos - who is already banned.
Neither eternalsunshine nor myself are.
The troll finder generals fuck up once again......
I'll post my original post again:
If globe is banned it would be inconsistent not to also ban eternalsunshine and freethepeeps...Anyway hopefully none of them are banned.
My point was that if globe gets banned it would be inconsistent not to also ban freethepeeps and eternalsunshine as they’ve both it seems said stuff just as bad as globe.
That doesn't mean I want any of them banned as I don't and I haven't said that anywhere! I said quite the opposite. And I'll say it again:
Anyway hopefully none of them are banned.
Bollocks - quotes please .........
:rolleyes:
Yes I do believe things have got too heated recently but hopefully not too far for the mods. Yes I do disagree with Globe on most things but I do respect him and his beliefs as I do other posters I disagree with.
Do you have any examples? The closest I've seen, having just signed on, is me suggesting that he seems to be trying to get himself banned, and that's hardly the same thing. He knows from experience that he stands to get banned for repeatedly slurring other posters and still does it, so I'm not exactly indulging in wild speculation here. Unlike posters to, say, Mil.com, who not only get banned for the mildest of infractions but get banned again automatically for signing on under a new screen-name ('Multiple Personality Syndrome' my arse), 'J Thanatos' is permitted to return without further penalty. I think he gets pretty well treated for a disruptive crumbly on a youth site.
Sorry, can’t be bothered to trawl through quotes for yourself, eternalsunshine and globe to try and judge who’s said worse stuff. (Not really my job anyway and I don't see what it would achieve...And I've stated that I don't think any of you should be banned so it's entirely irrelevant and would be a complete waste of time).
I could say the same for Clandestine.
Sounds fair.
thatll teach `em.
You certainly could. The thing I've noticed about Clan is that he doesn't do repartee. His posts either contain arguments, cut and pastes to support his arguments, or a large dose of bile directed at certain posters, notably Jaqueline, who have lost his respect in previous debates. He will start with arguments, though, and only bite when the 'klandestine traitor' stuff starts winging his way. I think the mods take the view that all three individuals have thick skin, but I sometimes wonder if it doesn't keep new posters off the board. I know a site, Trackpads.com, where they're having a debate over whether to put up warnings to keep pre-18 year olds off the boards because of the tiny amount of 'adult' content, to cover them selves legally. If they saw the Politics & Debate board, I think they'd realise they don't have any worries :eek:
Nevertheless, Thanny has invited, dare I say encouraged, nothing more than flame wars on this site as that is his sole raison d'etre for posting here in the first place.
Take the time to review threads going back to 2002 and you will see that any attempt at legitimate substantive debate with him and others of his brotherhood of death over at mil.com who have posted here have ALWAYS been met with nothing more than flame wars, forcing all discussions to descend to their lowest common denominator.
Such types were banned for a reason and they have shown no growth nor admission of error regardless of how many times their claims (which themselves were nothing more than ready acceptance of whatever the mainstream media was churning out at any moment) were exposed as false.
Time and again my analyses were met with nothing more than derision and labels such as "Clandestine Collaborator" (to the extent that I had to laugh when he felt compelled later to refer to me in threads I never once posted in. I took it as almost a sign of endearment that I was such a mentionable figure in his routine rants) despite the fact that time and again, revelations proved my assessments correct and his mired in unquestioning sycophantry to right wing warloving propaganda.
Perhaps that is why unlike Thanny, I have never once been banned. When such calls for my banning have been made, I have posted my willingness to be banned if that was the judgement of the mods. I can only suspect that they have weighed the substance of my posts in keeping with legitimate debate and decided not to ban me. If they change their mind, so be it.
If you ever take a look in any of the other forums on here, there are always threads in Anything Goes about people being too scared to join in Politics and Debate because of the bitterness and the continual rehashing of the same damn arguments.
It's only when we get new blood on this board that we actually seem to get new and interesting things to talk about. We do ourselves a disservice by putting off potential posters here.
Totally agreed. Yes like anybody else I have ranted at someone but lets remember that taking things too far will put off others from contributing.
and come to a debate forum because?
Ok, I personally would also rather have a calm and reasoned debate, rather than us going out of the way to make other people look as stupid as possible.
disagree with ya. I know jack shit about politics so I keep out, god they would eat me for brekkie if I went into a political debate.
There are many subjects which are not politics which can be discussed, you dont have to be well informd on the subject you just need to have an opinion. Be prepared to back down if after a debate you realise your argument was wrong, or if after debating someone has changed your point of view then open your arms up and say 'hey, I never thought of it that way'.
Many people come to these boards with the attitude that THEY are right so everyone else is WRONG........thats bullshit cos we all can change our way of thinking when things are put to us in a different way.
