RE: From Skeptic Overlord ATS - MisterSpock - 03-29-2021 So basically, the only thing that kept that dead horse going for the last few years wasn't individual thought/intelligence, but the usual online CTR shills that kept the numbers high enough to make it look like a viable solution with regard to online traffic. I lurked long ago(over a decade), I read great shit, it drew me in, but in the end it was a dead end and ultimately became the thing it pretended it wasn't. I don't feel bad at all it crashed and burned. RE: From Skeptic Overlord ATS - Rodinus - 03-29-2021 (03-29-2021, 08:56 AM)F2d5thCav Wrote: @"Rodinus"Thanks mate.

But his political critical thought appears to be faulty, and he seems to be stuck in that endless loop himself, so it may not be intentional. He just may not be able to get back to the original line number. .

Honestly, I don't think it's his fault, he's just someone who got caught up in his own bullshit(and that forum didn't help), much like AM, who everyone thought was a comedic genius(again, I never saw it, I was way funnier than that guy). But sites like that carve out their niche and their "heroes".

In making rules, and enforcing them. There is a difference between CALLING someone a shill, and pointing out their shilliness with specific examples. One is a only personal attack against the poster, the other is setting the record straight about the topic at hand. Over there, I often "toned down" my rhetoric, but not out of any overabundance of caution or because of any mod counseling. it was just my normal modus operandi. I would go into a thread slinging shit like a mad woman slinging shit off a sock to throw my opponent off balance, and then tone it down as I brought them around to my way of thinking. No need to keep pounding them as they thought the logic through, y'know? It would have been counter-productive, and only serve to alienate them and cause them to dig in... . RE: From Skeptic Overlord ATS - Ninurta - 03-29-2021 (03-29-2021, 08:56 AM)F2d5thCav Wrote: @"Rodinus" Might have been some sort of falling out about the direction the site should take that they didn't want to air in public. If Springer is now the sole owner and the other Amigos are out, that would certainly raise questions they might not want to answer. . RE: From Skeptic Overlord ATS - F2d5thCav - 03-29-2021 @"Ninurta" Recent politics have also raised new challenges that "old line" moderators may not even recognize. Take the situation on ATS where there is a dedicated cadre of Brits and occasional others who argue ceaselessly on behalf of the Left in threads about American politics. I don't need a political science degree to understand those people are agents. Someone, somewhere, is engaging them, probably on a monetary basis, to go onto websites and push the party line. If the Left can't find enough locals to perform that activity, they now recruit worldwide. That kind of crap is only going to get worse.

Much like Phage... IMO opinion, they are both paid. They must think most people are stupid... Lol, in a way they may be right! (They certainly baited a fair few sheeple over there on ATS!)

MfLuder and I caught a couple of CCP shills from Bureau 9, or Bureau 11, or whatever their cyber intel bureau is, several years ago, and outed them. We didn't call them out as shills, however - we just asked how the weather was in their office in Beijng, and they vanished with a POOF noise, never to be seen there again. I do wonder who the British agents are being paid by, but given that it was a former MI6 agent who faked that whole "Russian dossier" against Trump, my rumination don't go too far. There were, and probably still are, all sorts of agents working ATS, from all sorts of countries including the good ol' USA, but there is a finesse to calling them out and shutting them up while at the same time avoiding getting mod-smacked... . RE: From Skeptic Overlord ATS - F2d5thCav - 03-29-2021 @"Ninurta" Canada got outed as having a government "influencer" group working various websites. I think the sources boil down to government agencies, political parties, corporations, and some churches. Long ago, I tried pointing out to admins on Wikipedia how articles were being subverted to push various agendas. But the vast bulk of that activity was on the English-language Wikipedia, not the other national Wikis. Of course, very little interest on the part of the Wikipedia admins. That whole "Wiki" enterprise is very ideological in any case. A price we pay, I suppose, for English being a de facto international language.

You are one of the most polite persons online ever. Sorry for the delay in replying and thank you for your compliment. I was working evenings at a newspaper outlet, dealing with photographs needed for articles, properties for sale and other aspects of local information from a newspaper. The work wasn't very demanding and as the night wore on, required images from Journalists to 'tweak' or 'enhance' due to the low quality level of producing a newspaper, would dry up. I worked alone on a whole floor of the building and it was rare anyone visited me. One young man -a Graphics Artist belonging to the Editorial Dept. would sometimes appear and request some assistance regarding something he was working on and we struck-up a rapport. As we chatted, I mentioned that I was a member of ATS and that would sometimes visit the site to see the amazing views and opinions of people on the reality we all assume to exist in. Not knowing anything about the website, he was intrigued enough to accompany me to ATS and read some of threads. One particular thread was 'Who would win between in a fight between a Grey and a human?' and the idea made us both giggle. The responses -if memory serves, were mainly conducted by a lady with the title 'Mr Green' and after introducing myself, we had many humorous comments regarding such a weird battle. This went on for a couple of evenings until somebody interjected a statement that the grey humanoid aliens detest the feeling of human urine on their skins and this revelation sent the Graphic Artist and myself off onto an entirely different tangent as the initial discussion had began to wane. I laughingly suggested in the thread, an idea that such a notion of 'urine-fear' could lead a the more milder of us to strike-out and become a warrior for the people, a piss-squirting combatant taking the fight to the space-enemy. Mr Green began to ask questions that I and the Graphics Artist were certain put forward to maintain a feeling of jocular harmless interaction and a prompt that not everything on the internet needs to seem deadly and negative. (The conversation eventually ended-up creating this unfinished piece! 'We The Valiant'!) As Mr Green enquired more into our imagined scenario of hilarity, the absurdity grew and that was when the young visitor to my work-station suggested he would join ATS in order to hopefully upgrade the ridiculousness! Whether anyone else was still viewing the thread, we weren't sure, but Mr Green hung in there and supported our silly synopsis of an unlikely collection of galactic war-veterans travelling across time and space in an ice-cream van. It was only when asked to prove how my suggestion that telepathy could be a factor on why these aliens always knew how to avoid an obvious public disclosure, did we mess up. I began to answer and giggling over a keyboard in another part of my work-station, the relatively new poster to the thread -the Graphics Artist, finished my sentence. That was it and the balloon went up! The Mods surged in and accused me of being the Graphics Artist's character. An email was sent explaining their theory (same I.P address) and I was banned. However, I answered and explained the situation regarding myself and a fellow-employee, plus the harmless nature of what we were doing. Nope, I was talking to myself and the verdict remained. You're out kid and my personal account was closed... except, not the newer Graphics Artist account, that remained open?! We -the Graphic Artist and myself stayed out of the ATS site until his own work required less and less visits in the evening. After a couple of weeks, Boy In A Dress appeared on ATS and I joined in on a Creative Writing story involving Ninurta and a few other members. Not long after, I was made redundant from the newspaper company and with assistance from the wise 'red-neck' who appears on many of the banners, found my way to Rogue Nation! I hope this explains the banning! RE: From Skeptic Overlord ATS - BIAD - 03-29-2021 (03-29-2021, 08:47 AM)Rodinus Wrote: Ahhhhhh... I initially bought into the 'Phage Phenomena' and accepted he was the Librarian of Everything for ATS. His obstinate manner always made me smile until I harmlessly answered him in a thread with a lean towards agreeing with him. His response...? The impression I got was that my opinion didn't matter and I was being nothing more than a suck-up, so I steered clear of any thread he rarely involved himself with. (This was well-over ten years ago). It seemed polite accord was beneath this alleged learned person!

Sort of. I won a million euros from eurojackpot, bought ATS for half a million and smoked and drank half a million. Then CIA and The Agency Of Politically Correct Behavior offered me 4.20 euros if i sell them ATS. Sold. I had one beer from a bar with that. It helped me, regarding my hangover! RE: From Skeptic Overlord ATS - Finspiracy - 03-29-2021 @"BIAD" "Sorry for the delay in replying" Haha! Delay! i have endless amounts of time, and that is all i have. There is no such thing as "delay" for me. Yeah aliens... My opinion, why they have not contacted us (without a doubt, proven) is that we are a violent species. Look at an alligator. Think about an alligator. Prehistoric, ready to kill, in order to survive just to kill some more. That is how advanced alien civilizations view us. ATS needs a thick skin, in order to participate in conversations there. I do not have it. I have tried to grow it but i was unable to do it. I talked about Mandela effect there. I got ridicule and i got ad hominem arguments thrown at me. I like to have a good time online, not being a fucking target. Sure, i understand, Mandela effect is just as insane as "flat earth" (which i do not believe in) But i would like to talk about what i experienced and how it messed me up almost to the point of no return. I am able to do it here, RN3, and it is THE ONLY PLACE i can do it, real life, sleep life or online life (the three realities of existence) RE: From Skeptic Overlord ATS - 727Sky - 03-29-2021 (03-29-2021, 11:40 AM)BIAD Wrote:When you provided links and or videos showing Phage he was wrong he never bothered to answer the articles or the videos...
