Page 23, 8th post down.
In case you missed it.
I thought you might be interested in the activity which used to be referred to as “gang reccing”. The activity was frowned upon by the site administration and involved clans or clubs secretly agreeing to up or downvote certain posts or posters.
It still goes on, I’ve seen it. Quite recently in fact and by certain interested parties in this thread and I thought you might be interested.
Are you suggesting that all those downvotes you and FMF have received on every post on every page of this thread were cast by certain specific individuals posting in this thread, and doing so in collusion?
Are you paranoid? Please prove it. I for one have had no communication with anyone outside the pages of this thread. If you could provide hard evidence of any "secretly agreeing" posters I'd be interested to know how you came to know it.

@divegeester saidYou obviously know a lot about it, experientially.
I bet you whistle in the dark too, don’t you.
Why don't you tell the forum about it?

Strange that @FMF and @divegeester never went into law. They both seem to enjoy playing prosecutor.

Who says one or both of us didn’t.
It doesn't show.

@bigdoggproblem saidThere is certainly a lot of entertainment value in watching people attacking each other. The scheduling of major media companies supports that. Just don't reply to @FMF if you don't want to be part of the sport is good advice. Intelligent discussion of spiritual issues is very niche and it can be found elsewhere if wanted.
And to think there were some people who wanted to shut down all of this free entertainment.

@secondson saidI’m not suggesting anything of the sort. I’m simply pointing out that it happens and that the club which Ghost of Duke leads has done in the general forum.

Thumb counts mean nothing.
@petewxyz saidThe best recent entertainment was watching you try for 8 pages trying to support your silly claim that the only true atheist was one who became a theist on their deathbed.

@divegeester saidYou said I have failed to demonstrate to you that 'altruism' exists, despite having referenced the whole Christ/Atonement thing. (The ultimate act of altruism).
Feel free to start a thread on this, or any other countermeasure topic you wish to pull out of the archive.
If that hasn't been a checkmate demonstration then a thread on the subject would be quite pointless. (And merely amplify your embarrassment on the issue).
Indeed, it was an example of you 'doubling down' on a flawed position.

@divegeester saidThe 8 pages were actually misspent trying to get you both to move on from the detail in the one ill chosen sentence in the hope of an intelligent conversation about the issue I was actually raising. Ghost had represented @FMF as somebody who might be good value for a conversation of that nature.

(I am not implying anything about you by omission, the subject simply hadn't ever come up)
Not wishing to resume the process, but to take a different direction, do you basically just prefer the wrestling? Sincere question as I think you seem smart enough to know what you are doing.

@petewxyz saidI’m just responding to your continued bleating about what’s going on in this forum, your contribution to it and your apparent self-denial of your part in it. Here you are yet again whining about this forum.
