Lots of cute pictures. Not a single comment on why RVF is a better forum as a result of being less tolerant. Even "most of us like it that way" would be an acceptable argument.

This is ridiculous.. guys are saying.. fuck you ... please come and ban me.... please please...

I don't think that's what I am saying. I'm not sure why it makes you happy to advocate for that.

I am neither happy NOR unhappy....

I am just a little surprised I guess... But all in good fun.

I don't really feel any need to respond further b/c I am NOT really advocating anything. I thought that in my previous posts that I was trying to help you out... but it seems to have gone on deaf ears..... in my current thinking....

I would much prefer you engage in a dialogue, but of course I can't make you do so.

Here's a comment. You have the Naughty Nomad forum which is not very heavily moderated and is therefore crawling with trolls, and very little useful information is posted over there. You then have this forum, which is less tolerant, and therefore has people who are more focused on improving themselves and helping others and less focused on engaging in pissing contests with other forum members. The comparative end results of each forum speak for themselves.

The RooshVForum does not negotiate with trolls.

NO DEXTER! You're supposed to run from the light, not talk to it!

Stupid trolls never learn. I swear they got the brains of a moth.

Thank you. I don't feel like I'm pissing on anyone but I certainly regret it if you think that I did. My goal here is self-improvement, and also helping others. Some of that includes the environment we operate in.

You know those married guys we all feel sorry for, the ones who refer to their wives as "She Who Must Be Obeyed". Did you ever say to youself...why?

I am not a troll. I've asked valid questions and made valid observations. If it makes you feel powerful to threaten to stifle dialogue on a forum because you can, I'm not sure how to reply to that. Other than I hope that others are watching and forming their own opinions. Perhaps someday enough others will say "you know what fellas...we can be a little less reactionary here. Not everyone who disagrees with me is a troll".

Strict modding keeps people on their best behavior. Otherwise it just becomes a pissing contest of who's more alpha. Normally the internet is the wild west, but the RVF has a sheriff. Or two.

I propose to Roosh and Tuth that we keep this thread alive so the trolls can out themselves whenever they feel like it.

It has the powers of a light to a moth.

I agree with that and I have learned from it myself, that I'm more persuasive when I'm not resorting to name-calling, even when others have started it and even when I'm good at it. I'm much more polite on these forums as a result. But, I sometimes think we go a step beyond. Banning people because they're Indian, when our own founder is of middle-eastern descent? How many posters reading this think that is a little bit much, but don't dare say something about it because the hammer of thor will strike them dead. Or something.

You were NOT stifled in your dialogue.. and you were allowed to say your piece with several posts... ... which probably, you could have stopped posting after one or two times in this thread and you would have still been here tomorrow.. but instead, you keep going on and on about fixing this place to make it better, kinder and gentler... ...

Well I'm going to bed fellas. Thanks for offering substantive replies that I actually learned from and just zapping somebody because he disagrees a little.

I think that your argument is kind of weird to begin with since the only thing in common really is a darker hue of skin. The culture is nothing alike and if I'm not mistaken, geographically India is part of Asia and the middle east is well, NOT.

[The Lizard of Oz]

There are lessons here for newbies and lurkers alike.

Being a new member of the forum is a bit like being a foreigner coming into a country with a proud and ancient civilization. In addition to the obvious and stated laws, there are unwritten and unspoken rules and traditions that make the place what it is. If you are charmed by the country and delighted by the company of its citizens, you should take the time to absorb their traditions and learn the language. And you should reflect on the fact that if you like the place so much, then it is very probable that the way it has been run may have something to do with fostering the qualities that attract you.

Take it easy, go slow, and get a good feel for the place before venturing suggestions about how it should be run. And after a while you might simply feel privileged to have witnessed a Monday double meltdown rather than worry about what it all means.
