As much as the Georges may want it to be and beg the proprietorship to make it so, it is an open forum. There will be discussions, and posters, that you will hate (because that's what you do).

It is still not clear to me what it is you are afraid of, what you are trying to protect. You insist it is ok to band together in order to drive away other posters that are not breaking any forum rules (cloudy as they may be), and then whine about other posters creating threads and making posts.

You tried The Dryer Lint experiment. It was a closed forum. It failed.

What do you want? Why do you feel so threatened? What are you trying to hide in the darkest lit corners.

It almost always squirts out in the end anyway.

eww.
 
I am not threatened.
I am sick of fake people. It has taken away from the board.
I am tired of the stupidity of nonsense threads.

How can you "drive away" other posters? :confused: You can disagree with them or insult them and even report imaginary violations, but that shouldn't "drive anybody" away.

We'll just say item #1 is a given.
Could you give an example of a fake person and a nonsense thread?
Those aren't necessarily intuitive.

Because Mann is a liar of a poster. He purposely starts arguments. People don’t want to deal with the BS.
 
Wanna skype or FaceTime to prove you are a Ms Ann? I am willing.

That's not why I'm here. Is that a problem? I'm not looking to hook up. I'm here to talk and share ideas. I could have chosen any name to do so.

And that is prevalent is the blurt company you keep, others merely retaliate.

Can't come here occasionally as you said before, then target a blind judgement;

as you're also doing in this thread.

I am not looking for hook up. But everyone thinks you are a man and lying about your identity. Why not prove it?
 
IT IS for them, from what I've seen.
The women who come here only to cyber feel cheapened,
The men don't like it when you don't stroke their egoes.

I'm not much of an ego stroker. :)

Maybe I should have to prove I'm not black, or Jewish or Canadian? If you want to think I'm a man, think I'm a man. Why is my gender important when actual sex is off the table?
 
Has everyone here adequately proven their sex to you? Or is it just me you have a problem with?

Once upon a time, before every thread turned to shit without two pages, there were voice clips and face bids and stripteases. It was possible to be reasonably sure that a person was either the gender they described.

I can look back at old threads with well over a thousand replies and almost no nastiness. Not counting in even numbers, but real discussion on fun topics.

The GB has changed for the worse in the last few years. I don't mean that in the rose tinted hindsight specs way, either. It's part of the reason for the rise in moderation, which used to be an extremely rare event.
 
Lance had it easier. The Clique are clearly intimidated by him and are afraid to stalk and bully him. Even if - in all fairness - he said some quite nasty things about a few female posters like LTR.

Lance loves negative attention. He views anyone attacking him as his victory. Most people simply have the sense to ignore him and not reward the nastiness. The barbs that bother you would make him giggle.
