The Dano Shrugged - A lesson for SR
Well gday once again. I'm sure a lot of you were wondering where I was on fullpolitics, well I never really left, I just didn't post.
As soon as SR started up this security council BS, I had no interest in staying. I simply shrugged. I've been through dealing with multiple authorities before on politicalsoup and I have no interest in repeating it. I like SR, but if you look at how he ran his site at the beginning with less rules and being more cordial he was able to get most of the politics.com crew to come over, now he does the opposite and will get the opposite effect.
I personally always felt that successful boards are those that allow the most amount of freedom, fullpolitics lost something when it banned images and it lost much more with the newer rules and regulations.
Even trolls are mostly using their freedom of expression, images allow you to show what you mean and multiple accounts allow you to change your name or have some fun. All can have a few who cause a problem, but freedom is too important to ban it for all based on the actions of a few - that is the lesson SR must learn and it a lesson for good government and for the future of this greatest country.

Good to see ya, Dano... Why didn't you at least answer your U2U... I sent you one.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

I only see U2U's when I'm logged in.
SR knew when I was logged in and I didn't want that, so I stayed and read all the havoc as a guest.
Any ideas on getting fresh blood to this site?

I'll have to advertise somewhere. I don't want to spam e-mail or any annoying thing like that... I need to submit the site to the search engines too...

Hmmm, I can't disagree with you dano.
My advice is to right now u2u the crap out of everyone on fullpolitics.com to come over here. I think you need a mass conversion all at once, like how almost everyone moved to fullpolitics from politics.com at once. If people trickle over and see not too much happening, then they will just go back because it's too boring.
Well, I don't know what's going on over in Stalinville, SR's has promoted damo's site and if people want to come over they can. But I really have no more use for his site other than making snide remarks about how fcked up he made it.

Dano made a semi-fascetious plug of the site.. I'll take it though... Plus U2U of the members can be read over on that site.

Well, I did not think it was "just" to ban Grind, that's why I am here....
And it has nothing to do with what Grind was saying and accusing SR on because I did not necessarily agree with Grind's conclusions.
BUT the fact that he banned Grind for it and was one hair from banning Tiana for posting grinds's comments, and posting the emails of the dessenters is what got my goat....especially since there were no rules to the board other than not posting private info....then SR went "mad" and starting shooting out all kinds of new rules, like banning grind for differing with him....
It is unethical and unamerican to squash free speech, even free speech that you differ with, unless of course it truely would cause harm.....owner or not.
The whole security council thing is very juvenile, and what we didn't like about other political sites like political soup etc....imo. But I was still willing to go along with it....
care
I was kind of surprised how fast things got ugly with his comments. I do believe him about the u2u thing though, I've used many applications and never bothered to check out all the features and before all this, SR never really had anyone he despised enough to bother with checking U2U's, so I don't see the motive either.
The thing I find funniest is that right after we left politics.com, there was CanadianDik taunting us about going to a Conservative's site and how he would be on politics.com and never leave and know he's doing similar shit with this site and fullpolitics.
He posted people's emails? Wow, I missed that one.

He posted a couple U2Us from the "conspirators"...

But Conspirators to what?
To try to get the "SC vote" to go there way? So what!
that's politics as far as I am concerned....
and it was funny....
to me....
Care
Thats what I was saying Care. Conspirators to going along with his little retarded game? I found it hilarious that @$$ kissers were backing him up on it. But damo's pretty principled and I don't think we'll have that over here. I'm quickly adjusting to the new site.

I thought it was an interesting foray into micropolitics. I may still run for a SC seat...
