ere is an old saying: " A fool and his money is soon parted."

Major, that is absolutely incorrect.


As I sent to you a few days ago by Private Message, here are just a few more posts by Thematic element that were flagged for review on that day (the 28th, I believe). Some were replies to existing threads (such as "Obama just give one killer speech!"), while others were attempts at creating new threads. He made these posts under 5 different usernames (colors added by me, so you can tell one post from the next):

Jahole flagged relevant video...as usual.

Continuing the discussion here, since coward Jason has now blockaded me from posting on all existing threads...

Private entities who stifle free expression, are unpatriotic. Should be called out. Usually they don't have the balls to honestly defend their actions. They Just keep digging the hole deeper, by yet further censorship and attacks on dissenting views. Losing strategy that just highlights their bias.

Just speak truth. You will be terminated with extreme prejudice. Lol.

Just say something truthful. You will be obliterated. Lol


And here are several posts that made in one thread, one after another, using multiple usernames:

Two posts flagged for no reason...

...fragged for no reason...

...fragged for...

evaporated for no reason.

These are the posts that he's complaining weren't allowed.

I'm sure you can see, it has nothing to do with his claim to a political bias, it's a simple fact that he wants to attack me and the site on a regular basis.

If you can show how automatically filtering those posts shows a political bias, I'd be really interested in hearing about it.

Regardless of the fairness of the rules or of their enforcement or whose panties get in a wad, the fact remains that it's Jason's website and he can do with it whatever he wants to do with it. He can skew it in any direction he wants to. He can decide who gets to use it. If I were him, I'd shut the idiots and crybabies out of it. But then there'd only be a handful left and it wouldn't be nearly so entertaining.

In response to this statement, "Twitter also unfairly applies their rules to skew the conversation to their political leanings."...


Jason responded: "That's an interesting opinion, albeit false. Less than a week ago, someone was accusing me of skewing conversations the other direction:"

That statement implies that Twitter applying their own rules unfairly is "false", is itself misleading. Twitter does favor the special snowflake contingent, as evidenced in the video I posted. One mysterious squeaky wheel accusing him of "skewing in other direction" does not a balanced equation make.

I believe any objective accounting would see the published GoWilkes "rules" being applied rather unevenly, and favoring the moderator's radical brethren.

Twitter does it. And, GoWilkes does it. Zero Pinocchio's.

I love hearty discussion filled with sharp elbows. But, the quality of discourse here suffers from Jason's overindulgence to the Alinskyites in his party. He's gotten thoughtful, diplomatic input regarding consistently bad behavior, directly via Private Message (as encouraged) and those same repeat offenders continue merrily along. And, again, that's a shame.

I don't care whether it's fair or not. Life ain't fair. But, let's not pretend those published rules are being applied equitably.

Oh, I think you have a GOOD idea who most of them them are that do it.

Some, sure, but not all... or even most. How can I create a rule that's only for a few people, if I can't enforce it for all? That clearly would not be fair.

And God-forbid a liberal gets away with it! LOL I'd never hear the end of it

I do, Conrad. Just because I don't agree with you on every issue doesn't mean it's not fair.

CONRAD

Posted 9:38 pm, 07/28/2016

Why don't you just enforce your rules in a fair and balanced kind of way?

Why dont you just block everyone that has more than one Username.

It would be almost impossible to tell. There are simply too many people that use a shared computer; work office, WCC, library, etc.

I just spoke with someone today who said that his entire family is on GoWilkes, every day. Which is great, but on my end I would have no way of knowing whether it's 1 person using 4 accounts, or 4 people with 1 account each.

Besides, it's probably a good idea for anyone that both posts in the forums and in the classifieds to keep the usernames separate.

Thematic, as I told you before, you haven't been suspended, you're just trolling and triggering your own filters.


I have no plans of suspending "Thematic element" at this point, but I'm not allowing you to continue creating multiple usernames. You can continue using this one, or nothing.

If you would prefer to use one of your older usernames, feel free to PM me and request it.

"He made the post at 1:51pm. It was reported at 2:00pm.
And at 2:26pm, you're already accusing me of a "lack of action
"."...
you should spend the next 5 hours apologizing and explaining why you didn't catch it at 1:52pm
a couple of hours begging for forgiveness wouldn't hurt either

On a bogus thread about money for meth this appeared and was duly reported, yet your lack of action continues to allow this abusive behavior.

So, just to clarify. He made the post at 1:51pm. It was reported at 2:00pm. And at 2:26pm, you're already accusing me of a "lack of action".
