A good teacher needs to know more than the subject material. A good teacher needs to be able to lower themselves down to the level of the student who doesn't yet know it.
^this

Actually, this whole thread, but especially this.

I care for and respect Derrick as a person, but I respectfully submit that his judgement was just wrong.

In the battle of hearts and minds of the local community, his act just took the state of the PR efforts back 18,000%.  The "main stream" does not understand the NAP yet, and until they do, doing things like this just boosts their support of the state's response.

...  and it helped collapse the police state.

I thought bankruptcy did that.

Well, that helped too.

Gorbachev has always been a hero of mine. 

He brought free speech and political pluralism to a police state...  and it helped collapse the police state.

Alaric - we were actually planning a show on ostracism as a panacea to libertarian problems. I think your question fits in nicely. Thanks for the input!

I couldn't agree more.

This link also belongs in the "Less Stephanie" thread.

Is that thread still going on?   :P

Good morning Bill.

I certainly respect your differing opinion.  Would you please give me some examples of who you believe shouldn't be allowed to possess firearms?

Hi folks!

As most of you probably know, we are taking on an illegal gun ban here in New Hampshire.  It is now a national story and a win would be huge for the cause of liberty.

We need to raise $1500 to get the case started though.  Would you please consider donating?

Firearm freedom is vital to a free society!

Thanks,

I like Sam a lot, don't be jerks..............

I'd second that.  Sam may have his shortcomings (don't we all?) but he is a good guy.

we are all HUGE assholes right?

All of us! No one is innocent, may as well admit it here.

I'd like to think I'm a pretty nice guy.

so it's ok to assume I am not trying to cause drama if I find a video of you guys jerking off and post it where everyone you know can see it, and then delete it 5 minutes later after it has been seen?

I like to keep my personal life and my business life separate, if people in my personal life know what I do I have no problem with it, however, I prefer to have "the talk" with them myself about what I do for work when I fell  I can trust that person to be mature about it.


In other news now that everyone knows I am a fucking amateur internet porn star, either buy my shit or move along to find something else entertaining to occupy yourselves with.

That's pretty cool, Robin.  I just learned of this last night at that place.  Sexual performance art is classic expressive speech.  :)

The only thing that would make this better is if Libman was unbanned.  I never did understand exactly why Libman got banned anyway.

Will Ecolitan ban Brasky?  I would.  Brasky, I can't believe you own that threat the way you do.  I haven't heard you acknowledge the impropriety of your conduct.

Go read this, counselor.

Wow, Bill.  I had never seen that post.  I firmly stand behind you on banning and notifying the authorities on this type of crap.  I personally will call the FBI if I ever see something like that.  Someone doesn't think I am a principled libertarian for doing it?  Oh well, I don't give a flip about what people think who condone, cover up for, or ignore such uncivilized and threatening behavior.

That violent rhetoric initiates force in the first instance, Ox, so reporting it isn't unprincipled.

The only thing I had hoped you were kidding about was changing peoples words. Doing that kinda draws you into a situation where you could be held responsible for things YOU didn't say...  as someone on the forum could claim any time that you modified their post and were the one to add the incriminating words, not them.

My concern was for you.

Sooooooooooo...
 
Good times. 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but here's my take on two issues that seems pretty serious:

1) A moderator has threatened to arbitrarily falsify the posts of bbs members so that it would appear that they had written incriminating or otherwise damaging things when in fact they had not done so; and,

2) A moderator has openly announced that he would send information from here directly to the cops in order to facilitate the initiation of force against bbs members.

Am I understanding this situation correctly?   I'm truly amazed that these two items appear to be right out in the open and everybody (with precious few exceptions) seems OK with that.  If I missed a post which would have already cleared up my confusion over this seeming contradiction please let me know.

I personally was hoping he was just being hyperbolic.

I think we all need to get together and have a drink. 

I'm sure the man whom we all donate our time to help his operations run smoothly would be happy to buy a round.  Or two. Or three.

Right... right...? *nudge* :D

Oh..  and as I have been anointed a Global Moderator I have used my new ability to designate assawyer a member of the "FTL Crew." 

He is the FTL Facebook page admin and also a #LRN chat operator...  so as he donates his time to the furtherance of FTL and LRN, I believe he deserves the title.   8)

Brasky is a great guy. Aunt Bee isn't a total asshole. They used to get along and I'd say even chummy until Aunt Bee started changing his username to racist stuff I'd never post, and then playing dumb and demanding a list of permitted and non-permitted words.

Right at that point I believe he should have been banned for a week.  No screwing around.

He comes back and does it again?  Two weeks.

Again?  Two months.

It is unfortunate that there are so many inter-personal conflicts amongst the moderation staff here.  Personally, to me, you all seem like really nice people who have gotten under each others skin in various ways.  It is bound to happen in real life, and even more bound to happen with assertive and opinionated people such as we are.


Outside of a few very persistant violent/race-baiting trolls, I think many of the conflicts seem larger than they are.
The moderators cover wide areas of the board, making easy targets for anybody who wants to pick a fight.
Instead of an argument staying in one place, it ends up being everywhere you browse.


Perhaps this could be resolved by simply making moderation more private than public?

On #LRN I try to PM people first and ask them politely to stop whatever thing their doing that is unacceptable.  Why not do that here as policy rather than situational?  Making moderation more private would remove the mods from conflict around what they're doing.
