Just wondering if TER is under new management? Been on her for few years, but never seen so many force closed.  I say what I want and as truthfully as I know it.  If TER ever bans me, the economic impact on the Bloomington hos will be devastated and their children will go hungry. Feed My Starving Children will have to divert a shipment or two to Bloomington instead of going to Africa

We've always been vocal. So maybe it's the argumentative side coming out more recently that's causing the increase in closures.

To increase profit margin to WK and thin skinned  . Any body have a fog machine  for sale  they will be needing a new one soon im sure. Old ones been worked wayyyyy to hard

... involving the majority of the closed threads on the last two pages.  Can you find it?

You replied?

A few guys with real balls tell it like it is on the board. Thin-skinned, politically correct WKs and their damsels protest to TER behind the scenes.  Pretty easy to see that?

Damn, can't see the forest for the trees.

You're legends!  (in your own minds.)

Is the only pattern we'll see.

Ever called  you a legend.  And if I told you what you are, you'd cry like a baby to TER and beg to ban me and remove the thread.  Do you have a safe space at home where you can go after you read the TER board?

Talk about content and what us being written.....  you make it a personal attack by directing your pitiful attempt at insult to us personally.  So who is really the ttoll?  I am not bothered though.  I will not cry to TER.  In fact, I would beg them to keep it because it shows who you are. Just remember this in the future . ....   I can play that game too.  Can you handle it?

to make it happen.

Consider this from TER's message board guidelines

the first paragraph as gospel when it is very subjective.  You see, vorlon, when discretion is involved, so is subjectivity. It's not black and white.

To most of us, anyway.  But not to those who revel in insults, personal attacks, name calling and intimidation rather than civil discourse in a respectful manner which encourages everyone to participate.  

What we've been saying all along.

Requoting the rules (paragraph 1), unnecessary and does not contribute anything to the conversation beyond what Vorlon already said.

Hey Knots
Would you be so kind as to site some references on this board, as to where its been demanded that details of anyones personal info be posted here. And by personal info just what are you refering to. All in nature  of transparency .  You made the claim now , lets get some facts out in the open .  

Thank you for that PSA.    10%/ 90%  informed vs clueless .

I figured you'd likely be first to reply.

Yeah and another thing some elect to sound the alarm to shenanigans and BS , while the rest just push the mute button.  Yeah in the 10% and no shame about it.

Don't double down on stupid.  Calling 90% of the clients of this site clueless is not going to win you approval from the management.

...on closing threads or removing them altogether. If it were to be even more aggressive and timely, no one on this board would suffer from being denied access to relevant information. Even the most non-controversial posts are frequently turned into platforms for the 10% (or much less) to bully Providers and pile on with derogatory, unnecessary and divisive comments. It's a tough job to monitor this board. TER Admin has the ability to make it much easier and friendlier.

- Multiple demands to divulge personal information on a public forum (this one) about a former scheduler.
- Multiple demands to divulge the identity of a provider on a public forum (this one) such that anyone (eg LE) could easily link her to a recent online story.  

Ahh, their appoval is just not that important. Getting  the illusions  cleared up is . Next  

It is that simple.  You and the other WKs have run this board for so long that anyone with a differing point of view is deemed obnoxious and needs to be removed and.or indoctrinated.  That is not how real life is.

Thanks for the note, but as your info is titled, these are "guidelines," which are suggestions/recommendations not hard and fast rules.  As such, guidelines are subjective and open to interpretation.  At times even TER moderators are at odds regarding what should and should not be permitted.  What one group of people finds offensive or obnoxious is humorous or informative to others.

Nothing in your reply is new, informative, or unexpected.  Funny how you ask me if I've considered taking them to heart.  Merely by you writing that in your reply demonstrates that you really don't get it.  To you, everyone else is the problem.  You just can't grasp for one second that maybe you are part of the problem and should heed that advice.

What "personal information" on former scheduler did we demand?  Personal name? Address  no it was all related to the business, the business was in question. The business that looked after those making them the bank. And when sufficient threw them out  on their own.   Yeah the same one that has alot of personal information that  at anytime they see fit can be demanded by  LE.   Past , present or future.  As Wong said  in  another post, yeah its part of the arena we play in just doesn't mean go along blindly with it.  

... Obnoxious, under the Terms & Conditions of this board, is an objective term and universally understood within the brotherhood. I try not to judge but if you're judgement is that you just might fall within this definition...well...few of us would disagree, I'm sure my friend.  

will be reduced instantly to 1%.  

(For those who don't get it, this is a take on a Yogi Beara saying....)

I see they got mad at you taking a cut of the action as  The TER complaint scheduler , and took it down. Hope you made a few nickles  on the deal to share with the ladies.

Hey, sticks.... I will give you an A for pointing that out. A grammar purist would be proud.  However, I'll have to give you just a participation award overall because, since we are writing in this forum  and not actually  speaking, it would have been proper for you to have written, "Oops! Did you mean to "write,"...."    I added the quotes around the word write because  that is the proper  word to use not the word say.  I am humbled, however, to know that someone is so fascinated by everything I write that he is able to retrieve a comment I posted nearly two weeks ago.  I feel like I have a secret admirer. A secret Santa.  Thanks much!

This guy said it best ...

I believe that groups of people with similar interests come together all the time and tend to democratically decide how the majority of the people want their society to be like.  TER is the government that makes the final ruling.  However, the 90% are saying that we have had enough of the 10%.  So, no, you don't get to just run all over people forever.

For about 4 years. Nothing's changed except sometimes I have more times to post (like now) and others i have less time.

Now you're calling the administrator a liar.  Brilliant!  Hope that works out for you.

You see, laws are created to protect the few not the many.  We have free speech so that the most dissident voice can be heard and is not silenced by a majority.  That is the beauty of freedom, Trin.  The masses don't get to run roughshod over the minority.  You can do as you want in your social circles; that is fine.  But when it comes to governance, the rules are different.  Why do you think flag burning is legal despite it being so disgusting.  I served in the Marine Corps to protect our freedom.  Isn't it sad-ironic actually-that one of the freedoms I fought for was for those idiots to burn or piss on the flag.  That pisses me off, but it is their right, and they are in a very small minority.

I didn't read anywhere that anyone called the admin a liar.  The only place I saw that term used was in your reply.  See?  I prove this point over and over.  And what else did you do?  Try to get the admin on your side with that comment.  His comment was posted, so apparently it worked out OK for him.  However, now that you mention it, and I am NOT calling anyone a liar or even deceitful, but I would like to see the empirical data to back up the 90/10 claim.  It's easy to stick one's finger in the air to see which way the wind is blowing.  But let the hard data back up claims. And then allow for proper rebuttal.   But I'd rather not even go down that road.  Too much fun reading the posts in here.  

This is a private forum.  The First Amendment doesn't apply here.

How to scam the system.  
Or is it how to scam the providers who worked for her and Em?😗

The only liar is you with your lies.

But the same principles apply.  You just don't get it, do you?  You needle and jab as much as anyone, but you are the one to cry foul.   I know this is a private forum, but I am a VIP member of the forum and have equal standing with you.  The guidelines (rules) don't allow for the majority to overrule the minority.  The rules are there for all.  The rules don't change because a handful of members get upset.  And if you cannot see the analogy between my post referencing free speech and this forum, then we are worse of than I thought.  I figured people were intelligent enough to understand the analogy while understanding the differences.  Perhaps I was wrong giving that much credit to some.

The rest of my post where I wrote about Trin's  credibility.  Why is it you didn't respond to that part? Because you agree with me but don't have the courage to tell it like it really is?  Silence speaks volumes.       I understand.

Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people

of my posting.  And great minds know that ideas require specifics, i.e., content.  The idea of what requires who, when, where, why and how to be complete.  So, yes, I do have a great mind.  You're mired in talking about events and people.  Nice try.  Oh... and do you have any original thoughts or comments?  Or is everything you post merely stolen or plagiarized?

the last commenters they want to see banned is me, or OTB, or Talon...why would you want us loose out there IRL doing what we would still be doing on this discussion, only in places you can't see or monitor or moderate?  That's the last thing you'd all want, believe you me.  But we could all eventually decide we're finally bored enough and go elsewhere...

Here's a definition of civil from the link below

Very famous for hijacking threads here. Even a few providers, too, are infamous for it.

None of these.

Wong, we all got bored long ago.

I asked her in a very civil manner for clarification of an "almost" BJ or whatever she had posted. She chose to not answer the question but rather to talk about movies. A known WK, DrBudGreen, then kept the thread going in that direction.
