Your best bet is sticking to those forums run by people you know Amadd. Unfortunately forums aren't as informal as they used to be and this one has grown so big that there are some controls in place.

Lots of things are unfair - and not just here Amadd. Here the moderators of the member run boards have full control of the content and you have to abide by their rules - regardless of how unreasonable they appear.

You could try the others boards - there's General, Chat and Global and there is little interference from anyone there.

Mantra, I was replying to somebody else's topic in easel's forum, not my own.

FD has a chip on his shoulder with me, and so does the one that lives up his bum.

Amadd - FD owns this forum. Do you know that I was banned from a forum recently for the most innocuous comments. I asked the forum owner if he was related to a poster you probably don't know and made a comment about how rude some people were to newcomers.

So trivial - but I ruffled the owners feathers and he banned me. FD is very tolerant - but there are rules. There will never be another Cracker the way it used to be but Ozpolitics is a good forum - you just need to adapt a little. Ignore those who annoy you and debate with those who know you.

Yes, a supposedly open chatroom where you flat out refused to have any discussion with anyone who had not done exactly as you requested and watched the movie, regardless of the fact the ideas presented in the movie are not exclusive to it. Does it make sense now? If not, read my signature.

You can't see the forest for the trees.

Personally, I think that myself and the people of Australia are deserving of an apology, but I'm not after that.
I'm only wanting to be treated the same as everybody else.

Easel has given me an assurance that I won't be.

You like cars - traffic penalties etc. Have you tried Phil's forum on transport? That definitely needs some input from someone like you.

There are probably a lot of people who agree with you Amadd - just ignore those who frustrate you.

As far as my quote goes - hahahhaha - once bitten twice shy - that's me.

If anyone else had of come in acting the way you did, they would have got the same treatment. You are treated the same as everyone else.

I'm giving it to you from my perspective in context. You should see the way I sleep, it is odd, I don't lie straight I am kind of stretched out and contorted.

I'm not trying to hide my actions with jibber. I am trying to explain to you why I did what I did, I'm not pretending that I didn't commit the acts you said I did, I am trying to show you that you are not a mind reader and do not understand my intentions. If that is jibber then I am sorry you don't get it.

Are you autistic Amadd? Often autistic people find it impossible to grasp that other people have minds and are capable of independent thought.

Anybody without pre-conceived ideas who read the thread (and please read it again for yourself easel) would agree that your actions were pretty ridiculous.

http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1223347391/all

Your job is to be a moderator. You don't even need to partake in the discussion.
I made it clear that I didn't want to hear comments about the movie from somebody who hasn't watched it.
You were merely making comments on what you were assuming.
I replied to the thread in the first place because there was obviously somebody else who had watched it....not that it's a big deal anyway...it's mainly just ideas and opinions that I wanted to discuss.

The way that you attempted to exert control taints the respectibility of the entire board IMO. And also, you tried to take control of one of my previous threads by switching it to your forum.
But OK, if you are moderator, I just won't post there.

So you are a mind reader are you Amadd?

I know what you wrote and the direction you wanted that thread to take.

Yes I did try and exert control over that thread. There is no way this side of the equator I was ever going to let you dictate the direction a thread was going to take. I prevented you from exerting control and trying to dominate a thread. Is that what has your knickers in a knot? The fact I did not allow your over inflated sense of self worth and ego to dictate to me?

Do you get it yet? Are you incapable of finding fault in yourself, or at the very least seeing it from my perspective?

Once again, just to help you along here.

The points raised in the film are not exclusively available within that film. These ideas have been discussed years before the movie even came out. Discussing the theories in the movie are not the domain of only those who have seen it, considering the theories are not unknown outside the film and are available from many other sources.

Are we on the same page here?

Pray tell, what direction is that?

At least you admit it at last that you were attempting to take control over me.

The discussion that I was interested in was the same as when I posted a thread on Sprituality. Nothing too sinister me thinks.
