Boringly, we mods are not in the business of reforming anyone. Just enforcing the rules.

Don't really want to venture into your self-made linguistic quagmire tbh as the matter is fairly straightforward. We don't want sexists, racists etc h...

Don't think the semantics matter enough to edit anything in the guidelines. Besides, yes, stating that women can't be equal to men is adopting a sexis...

One post. See: "Racists, homophobes, sexists, Nazi sympathisers, etc.: We don't consider your views worthy of debate, and you'll be banned for espousi...

Banned @"Michael Zwingli" Reason:
November 30, 2021 at 17:35
I wasn't expecting that tbh, so therefore it wasn't entrapment. Banned.
November 30, 2021 at 17:33
Ah yeah, got it. If the dominant resident of Rittenhouse's skull is a bunch of contradictory trash he doesn't even understand himself then maybe we ne...
November 30, 2021 at 17:12
What about "lefties". Got any of them?
November 30, 2021 at 16:59
Don't think there's much point in trying to analyze Rittenhouse's psychology as if somehow we could find what he truly believes in his heart of hearts...

Who don't you like, Jews? Arabs? Homosexuals? The Dutch?
November 30, 2021 at 16:37
I'm abstracting that out. I don't think heavily armed BLM members should be allowed police Trump (or Klan) rallies either. Their presence would also l...
November 30, 2021 at 16:31
If he's not guilty (of anything) maybe you should revisit your laws as the precedent of allowing heavily armed self-styled militia onto the streets to...

One other thing, you can update your story (send me a new message or file) up until the deadline for submissions. After that, I'll be loathe to change...
November 29, 2021 at 15:34
Yes, as mentioned before, if you want special formatting included, you'll need to include a file with markup (text file would be fine). What you send ...

Just 'cos I've got Ebola, smallpox and leprosy (having a bad disease day) doesn't mean I shouldn't be allowed down the pub. Muh rights!
November 27, 2021 at 17:19
If these policies had no support, it would be political suicide to pursue them. Only it hasn't been. Why? Because regardless of what you've seen a maj...
November 26, 2021 at 00:12
You're starting to sound confused about whether fascism is the problem or the solution. We're agreed policy change needs to happen democratically or n...
November 25, 2021 at 23:47
We live in hope. :pray:
November 25, 2021 at 22:49
More referring to the psychological genesis of the "fascism" hysteria, counterproductive as it is, seeing as such hyperbole obfuscates genuine concern...
November 25, 2021 at 22:46
How about seatbelt fascism, another bugbear of the anti-collective collective? Wonder if we can trace the roots of this oxymoronic group back to mommy...

A fine sartorial ambition to be unliveried but your customary apparel suggests otherwise, no?
November 25, 2021 at 17:25
Confirmed!
November 23, 2021 at 20:25
Thought that was Pancake Tuesday? :chin:
November 23, 2021 at 20:24
A silver lining... :razz: Let's say the 23rd. Give everyone a month and have them up for that day that shall not be named. :grin:
November 22, 2021 at 21:22
By the looks of it, there's some dissatisfaction with the original method of voting and also some dissatisfaction with the changes proposed, so I supp...
November 22, 2021 at 17:57
That's pretty much the look I was going for. :cool: That's a fair concern. There's not yet a strong demand for change anyhow, unless there is, we're g...
November 21, 2021 at 10:54
If memory serves, you were simultaneously ignored and pilloried for whatever you came up with, so it's probably best forgotten.
November 20, 2021 at 17:59
If we go this way, maybe we could both do it to help confirm the result. But, informally then, what does the crowd want? Please register your preferen...
November 20, 2021 at 17:57
I'll give it another day or two. Unless some alternative emerges that's easy to implement and is supported by a majority of the contributors here, I'l...
November 20, 2021 at 12:06
So the progress here is in the direction of further confusion or... ? Do I need to appoint a new dictator to organize how we vote or might our philoso...
November 20, 2021 at 10:49
Let's use that then. "Christmas" I used out of habit rather than thought.
November 17, 2021 at 21:34
Btw, is it exclusive to call it the "Christmas" short story competition? I'm not wedded to the name if people care.
November 17, 2021 at 21:07
Then I forward the data to my serf, Hansover, who, straining the capacities of his petrified brain, counts everything up and delivers the results. OK....
November 17, 2021 at 21:03
Sounds cool. Benkei would love it. :cheer:
November 17, 2021 at 17:49
Might be detrimental to quantity and quality of entrants though. Plus, I used up my Christmas story already.
November 17, 2021 at 17:38
You guys work it out. As long as Hanover gets to pick the method that involves me doing the most work, I'm right behind it all. :ok:
November 17, 2021 at 17:02
Do I have to wear clothes?
November 17, 2021 at 17:01
Close... The actual suggestion of weighted voting last time round would allow for that. Or at least for more votes of second than first to win.
November 17, 2021 at 12:27
Yes. Not directly. But we can enforce it for you.
November 14, 2021 at 23:50
Think I promised something for Christmas . Silly me...

Hehe, that was one of two songs I remember listening to today after you posted that but before I read it. The other one I dedicate to @"Hanover". http...

You haven't broken any rules afaik, so this is just a request but can you leave GMBA alone please because he seems to be taking all of this very serio...
November 10, 2021 at 10:30
People's inability to resist an easy dopamine hit is more of the root problem here imo rather than social media per se. Agree. Social media is a natur...
November 09, 2021 at 21:29
Neither did I.

Did technology do a Hanover? Oops ...

My hamster died. I didn't eat it. I'm starting to think I should have. Such is the moral erudition one embibes here.
