Im not here to preach, but I do have thoughts on the subject. I’ll probably add some as time goes on, but what are your thoughts? I see a wide array across the different forums here, and I wonder if open discussion can bring us all any closer to Truth, Love, Beauty, Peace, and everything else our souls desire/require.
Please, speak as generally or as autistically hyper-focused as you want
If you had to say something of value, you would've made a post.
But your account is active to comment for 4 years, and you posted nothing...
So clearly, not even you believe in what you type... So stay quiet.
Station identification, the user you speak to has explained, in so many words, that he doesn't post because it's initiating, but he does comment because it's interaction. Finding the contradiction(s) in his walls of text is quite the labyrinth, and I perhaps defaulted on my attempt. When speaking about him I'm reminded to watch words carefully, but for now I'll just use what words flow, and see what happens about it if anything.
It's a topic about contribution.
If a user cannot contribute with a post, but brings these nonsensical comments, then they should be out of here, until they learn to communicate properly and contribute.
If you're going to defend the most obvious AI chatbot in here, then I suggest you bring your big guns, because I'm definitely bringing mine.
I'm sure there are users where you could get a good consensus going for action against them. And that's the risk of politicizing and of using rules without transparency and circumspection. I don't have an immediate vision about how to deal with the divisiveness that exists in a way that fully convinces me. I do know that the mod team should respect, and use their position to analyze and report, the community consensus; but that also requires being aware of the rights of the minority, the ordinary procedures of forum discipline, and in particular the risk of process being manipulated. In particular, the user you mention does have much to say that relates meaningfully to conspiracy theory, despite the locution being repellant, the position having a nuanced nihilist leaning, and the contribution being erratic (botlike before bots were popular). The comment also does meaningfully interact with the OP on a deep level. (I don't defend, but I do explain what I know.) If the community wants to make a case for a boundary line such as illogic or dilatoriness, that can develop through consensus.
All that shows me is that you're afraid to take a stand because you don't understand the subject.
If you were a mod, then a user, who never posted in 4 years, is easy task. And you're not that person.
You have:
About SwampRangers 13114 post score
And you are willing to be equal to:
About free-will-of-choice 0 post score (in 4 years years, same as you)
How would you recognize a shill?
Is any confusing comment worthy to be here, just because you don't understand it?
If you're truly trying to help people understand something, why wouldn't you post ever?
And if you're too soft on shills, then why would anyone need you in a conspiracy forum? The shills will mock us, if you're the mod and allow this...
If you stay with your beliefs and allow mods like this, then there's no value in you being a mod, is there?
Our enemy are the shills. And if you can't think of ways to defend this community from them, then what is your real goal?
Why didn't you stay silent and posted nothing in 4 years? Then I would've believed you... But you didn't.
If you truly defend this user, then delete all your posts so your score comes to 0. Then we'll talk.
I bet you can't do it. And the reason you can't is why this user is a shill... How are you blind to this?
