Pretty sure I won`t. I`m an old dog, I don`t want to have to learn new tricks.
But there is mixed signals, if you hit "learn more" you`ll find... "Starting on February 22, 2024..."
So maybe an extra week in paradise.
Post by JE CorbettThis group has already been reduced to maybe a dozen regular contributors,
about a half dozen on each side. If we lose half of them which is my guess,
the remaining contributors will be speaking to a very small audience. What is
our most prolific poster, Yellowpanties, going to do when he doesn't have LN
content to delete?
He has chosen to become meaningless background noise. Better for him then actually attempting to engage in ideas.
Yes, he’s essentially reduced to spamming the website with the same couple of responses because he doesn't want to actually discuss the evidence. When we've gone toe-to-toe on the evidence, he lost every time. He’ll deny it of course, and call me a liar, but he’ll then spam the group some more and avoid discussing whatever topic is under discussion in that particular thread.
By his actions you shall know him.
But when you have no evidence, what recourse do you have? Ben is reduced to doing what he does because he has no evidence.
Post by JE CorbettPost by BudThere is really nobody here to discuss things with anyway, there is Ben the Troll, Gil the Martyr and assorted crackpots.
Post by JE CorbettThe McAdams group died a sudden death when its sole moderator passed
away taking the keys to the group with him. This one will probably die a slow
death.
It was dead for about a year here once, I would check in and there would be little to no activity. I don`t know what brought it back to some semblance of activity.
Post by JE CorbettI remember once coming across a newsgroup that interested me and I made
a long and thoughtful response to something somebody else had written.
After posting it, I discovered it was the first post made to that group in seven
years. I had come across a Usenet ghost town. I wouldn't be surprised if that
becomes the fate of this group, not that 99.99+% of the country will give a
shit or even know about it.
It does appear that we will be able to read the archives using google. We can relive old glory.
We could decide whether the conspiracy hobbyists have become more or less stupid over the years.
Post by BudBen had a conspiracy website, maybe we can go there.
Maybe he has it set up for auto delete.
He found reasons to lock out everyone he disagreed with. I decided it would not be worth my while to post there, as he would call me a liar and lock me out in short order.
That is what he did to Mark Urlik.
Imagine, the most dishonest person being the arbiter of truth.
I suspect this group will die soon after the February 15 lockdown. Only those using newsreaders other than Google will be
able to post here and I don't know how many of those there are. I'm sure Yellowpanties is one because of the way he swamp
posts. He's able to dump a whole lot of posts at once which I don't know how you could do using Google. He's probably able
to queue up a whole bunch of posts to a whole lot of threads and probably just hits SEND. I don't know if I'm even going to
stick around the next two month.
I`ll do what I`ve always done (comment on whatever I feel like commenting on) until the very end. I haven`t changed, the situation has.
It is sort of like watching a sports team that has never made the playoffs. Who knows, maybe they will actually go somewhere in the next few months. Nah...
Yellowpanties is never going to change. He whines that nobody will debate him. He doesn't seem to understand that debate
is a give and take process. Point/counterpoint. One person makes and argument, the other person makes a rebuttal and the
first person responds to that. All Yellowpanties can do is delete a person's argument and label it a logical fantasy, then cries
that nobody has the guts to debate him. How do you debate someone who won't respond to what you write.
Giltardo takes a different tact. Rather than make an argument, he raises questions, usually inan ones or ones that have been
answered countless times over the years. When the silliness of his loaded questions are pointed out, he claims no one has
answered the question (to his satisfaction, of course), declares victory, then bails out of the thread.
Neither Giltardo nor Yellowpanties has the courage or the intellect to take an actual position on an issue and then defend it
through reasoned arguments. Their whole game is to try to negate the case made against Oswald as presented by the WC.
They have failed spectacularly in those efforts.
As for NTF, Don, McClung, Doyle, etc., they have put the nut in nuthouse. NTF's theories are so bizarre I have to wonder if he
truly believes them or is just trolling. Don will take the most obscure facts and then weave an intricate and illogical line of
reasoning that I can't even follow. I finally quit trying. It was giving me headaches. I get to his conclusions and wonder how
the hell did he arrive there? There contributions made by McClung and Doyle are not even worth commenting on so I don't.
I'm going to lurk a while after February 15 just to see which, if any, of these assclowns are still posting their crap here and
if any of them are getting any responses.
