Brian Ross: Northofnorth is a sock.

Here's why I'm not a sock, Brian...

I have my opinion and I don't crave approval or agreement.

But, now that you've brought it up... Who am I a sock of/for?

So, now you've made the accusation, Brian, as you might say, evidence please.

Clearly you have none as I see you 'out' others (whether with evidence or not I can't tell).

You mistake responsibility for power.

He punished me too.

I wouldn't worry about it, Bobby... It's a badge of honour.

People like Brian Ross are the reason we need to defend democracy and the right to free speech.

His determined use of misspellings reveals a lot about his dark side (as stupidly exposed as it is) that he doesn't realise.

Brian indulges in argumentum ad hominem (note the spelling, Brian) in nearly all of his posts... Idiosyncratic hypocrisy.

Do you see any similarity between your behaviour and that of the apparatchiks of the Chinese regime?

Mmmmmm

He is a vain old unlettered fool. Witless, manic, confused, self-contradictory. It would be sad but for his cultivation of his vain stupidity.

Look at his posts and you will see that vanity is his weakness which he actually cultivates.

It will be deleted by the sad old milk monitor so for the record (for all who are really not interested...)

I'm just waiting to read his evidence of 'sockness'...

It's becoming a farcical pantomime.

And who moderates the moderators?

YOU do.  If you don't 'like' the Mod.....don't post in their MRB.

Simple.  If you don't like the product, the best response is not to use the product.

The board you moderate is not your "product" Ozzie. Lol.

Quote:

Grandiosity From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia the term grandiosity refers to an unrealistic sense of superiority, characterized by a sustained view of one's self as better than others, which is expressed by disdainfully criticising them, overinflating one's own capability and belittling them as inferior; and refers to a sense of personal uniqueness, the belief that few other people have anything in common with oneself, and that one can only be understood by a few, very special people.[

Well, this is a topical issue, given what Zuckerberg and Dorsey (et al) are facing, giving the arbitrary way they moderate posts and users of their respective products.

Or do you think moderators should be allowed to make false allegations and be unaccountable?

Anyone who makes false allegations of a personal kind (and there are plenty here all over OzPol who do that every day) ultimately pay the price.  It may not be the price you have in mind but they know their bullshit is known to be bullshit, even among their own 'gang.'

You have misread my clumsy words.  By gang....I mean their own little tribe and we have a very obvious little tribe here. One of their Members even admits they 'gang' up to bully.

No, I think you've expressed it well enough...

What I think you're saying is that the moderators can make false allegations, then act on them and, if 'their gang' doesn't like it, then... what? 

Oh...their gang always likes them as that is the cost of being part of the pissy gang.  Bullies are like that.

Anyway, I get your point.  Bottom line is that no-one moderates the moderators, including the GMods....we have GMods here (eg Annie Anthrax) who have not been near the place for years.  We have GMods here who refuse to act on the most obvious of rule breaches unless the alleged rule breaker is one they do not 'like' for whatever reason.

The other week there was a topic about 4 people who were apparently socks - they had a combined 250,000 posts ?

Included all members in the top 15 posters by volume including the highest and another in the top 5.

Yes it was a truly ridiculous claim.

Much too far north has been a member for well over a decade.

It is getting to be a tradition to accuse everyone of being a sock.

Interesting...

So on this forum, the moderators are not bound by any rules of evidence of any kind and can act in a totally arbitrary way, including making false allegations to justify arbitrary actions.

Does that remind you of anywhere?

Yes... Back to socks... What method do you apply to determine whether they are socks? For example, how would you differentiate between spouses posting separately as opposed to one poster posing as two or more?

If you look at those I have banned here, you will see who the obvious socks are.  Further, I have been around these Forums for 15 years plus and I know who these sock characters are.  Curry Muncher for example is an old sock from another place.

Sure... I've been around a few forums for years too.

But, from what I'm reading, there are no methods for determining who is a sock or not, which makes the allegation open to abuse.

Yes it does.  But, I have more than enough experience to know that I nail the right target.

Yes... And you'd probably know that's an old defence for cops as well (usually when the evidence doesn't fit the alleged perp).

I understand if a poster doxes someone (or attempts to), that would be easily recognised.

The rest is arbitrary and it would depend on the moderators' comprehension of responsibility as opposed to power, which is where I'm going with this as it is an issue we try to instill in those who are in a position of authority, being that they have responsibility over subordinates, not power.

If it is any consolation, I have never concluded that you are a sock.  I do not know why Mr Ross has come to that conclusion and it is not for me to defend or condemn his decision.

I think he is wrong, but what I think does not matter.

No need for consolation. I'm light years from being offended.

But it has given me a platform for inquiry into the primal psyche when it comes to exercising unaccountable 'power'.

If it consoles anyone here, the world's most famous 'sock' was Jawaharlal Nehru who routinely wrote pseudonymous 'letters to the editor' criticising himself when he believed that newly independent Indians were not criticising him enough as the prime minister of India. Of course, his reasons were noble: to teach Indians about democracy and their right to free speech.

Where is your evidence leading to proof that they are socks? Assertion doesn't hack it, consigliere.

Everyone is a 'sock' since no-one here is the actual person named in Ozpolitic. Everyone is posting under a pseudonym ie as a 'sock' of their true identity.

This is a veritable sock drawer (yes, with a lot of odd socks and half pairs).

Yes and I think the obsession with eliminating 'socks' is ridiculous.

And, yes, everyone here is an approximation at best of a 'real' person whose true identity must be protected.

Given that moderators, or anyone else, cannot identify (short of posters' 'outing' themselves) who is a 'sock' and who is not, why even bother attempting to enforce an unprovable allegation?

If spouses or friends join a forum who post similar opinions to the 'target' poster... So what?

And, seriously, when people hold sophisticated or long-held ideals or beliefs, they're highly unlikely to be 'turned' by the numbers against them, let alone that often an idea has the advocate as much or more than the advocate has the idea.

Rules based on unprovable allegations do not enhance the quality of a forum; they merely provide narcissists and petty 'control freaks' a penny's experience of exercising arbitrary 'power'.

Here's the thing though, you just admitted to being able to "guess" more accurately than tracerouting the ip address. That's like taking the word of superstition over observable fact. Are you your own religion, Aussie?

I'll back my judgement over your claimed IT cleverness, and you just backed off from the challenge.

Piss off you dick. If you have something you can safely post, post it. Don't bugger around. Whatever you decide will not change the fact you think your gut feelings override fact.

My judgement is far better than your fact.....er.....IT stuff and I know you have been snowed.

My challenge has zero to do with respect.  Setanta has no respect for me whatsoever, and I have zero respect for his claimed IT smarts on identifying socks.

Yes, well that point I'm making is that the current name you choose is your identity on this forum and that should be respected.

Anything less is belligerent contempt.

Meh, I was Setanta or "Set" for short for many years until a short while ago, I don't hide who I am. Cu Chulainn is my sock, except everyone knows it's me. I use it when I don't want to hear the moanings of the aggrieved I get via PM as a GMod. I tried to make it as obvious as possible, Setanta/Cu Chulainn, Irish mythology.
