Attention Displaced Rand Fans from the DP

[green73]

Get a dictionary, learn to spell statist, read the definition of the word, then take that same dictionary and shove it right up your fucking ass.

Omg, you got me, you belligerent pig.

I've said it before, this place needs a smoker.

Hook me up, bro.

A hookah?

A Pullman car?

A lounge?

A meat smoker?

"Toady is the primary!"

Tons of great photoshops in that thread! Looks like some fell off the internet though.

I never knew that. I thought the toady was used to indicate a troll. Reading through the toady thread, it looks like Collins head icon was replaced with the toady, so does that mean the Collins icon indicated a troll?

so does that mean the Collins icon indicated a troll?

I always thought so

this site has like 10% the degree of modding compared to dp and we have seen the worst effect of it, so i might as well take use of that as well

That's one of the GREAT things about this place, the mods are excellent compared to just about anywhere else on the internet. It's a virtually perfect balance between being allowed to say anything you want without being censored, and shutting down abusive crap that no one wants to put up with. The mods here have an amazing amount of restraint, and are amazingly fair. Not to mention they are also extremely helpful whenever a question or issue arises. You simply won't find this sort of quality moderation anywhere else.

Not in thread titles.

Why say it? More fun to do it.

Of course, doing it on the computer could short out your monitor...

Don't forget to wipe off your keyboard when you're done, we certainly don't want people spreading santorum all over the place.

I'm SO there when Bryan brings that in.

Apparently, the owner of the daily paul is of the belief that Rand isn't an ally and thinks those who believe that Rand is secretly playing the game to further advance his father's ideas are delusional.

I never understood why people think Rand is secretly on the side of liberty or whatever, it's pretty plain to understand that he is by his voting record. He never really says anything that directly contradicts the libertarian position anyway, he simply narrows the conversation to what is relevant and needed.

Rand has a chance to win. The Hipstertarians around here can't conceive of popularity without selling out.

That I've only had three or four temporary bans is a major credit to the mods around here.

That you haven't been relegated to the dust bin of history speaks both well and ill of the mods here. But mostly ill.

Some staff notes here--

1) I have had the good fortune to get to meet Micheal from Daily Paul personally, and have talked to him a number of times and only have positive things to say.
2) I have read over some of Micheal posts on this topic and I understand and respect his position. We all choose a different path.
3) Please do not trash Micheal or DP, it's respectable you don't agree with everything done but you're also not in his shoes. I can relate to some of what he has been through.
4) As Micheal is setting a strategic direction to not cater to a certain user segment and understands we are an alternative, I have let this thread stand. I am not interested in starting any sort of cross-site war. Again, let's keep things respectable. Note- we also don't cater to every user segment, as part of our direction.
5) Thankfully, I don't see the Daily Paul going away and am glad it has achieved what it has.
6) I have an account at Daily Paul, likely a lower user number than most of you.

I agree 100% and that is why I have directed everyone in my post to not use this thread to bash Mike and the DP. I have nothing but LOVE for the DP and this post is not intended for crossover wars. I actually created it out of respect for for Mike per his wishes. Come election time, the forums will be lighting up with campaigning. I plan to be heavily involved in Rands campaign. And it's going to be awesome! I've made a lot of friends at the DP and wish to connect with them here where our support for Rand is welcomed. I love the DP and wish to not wear out my welcome there.

I learned many things from that forum. The DP got me through the elections in 08 and 12. I was a delegate for Ron. Now I'm ready to do the same for his son.

I will edit my post and remind people again the above mentioned.

FYI...Mike has said good things about you also. He is a good person, and smart...too smart. He and I had a positive exchange about this post. He is ok with it.

Thanks Unknownuser, my post wasn't directed at you, just to some of the others here.

I am so confused about the format of this forum. I'm not sure I'm "doing it" right. Lol! Boy this is going to take some getting used to.

The 2 most useful links is the "Setting" link at the very top which shows you your latest subscribed threads (threads you've started or posted in) and "New Posts" link under the banner which shows you posts since your last visit.

You think societal change can only come from politicians. You're a sick, sick staitist.

He didn't say that. But, one of the things this forum is about is to get liberty-minded people ELECTED. Going around calling everyone a statist who doesn't promote pie in the sky anarchy, like yourself, is not conducive to achieving that goal.

Bryan:

I know deep in my heart that we are a hard herd of cats to keep. I'm very glad you're not allergic to flying dander.

Running this site must be hard. Thank you for continuing to walk the hard path.



I sincerely hope we are able to justify your faith in us and make you an integral part of something really, really good.

Maybe we can even make the spirits of Thomas Payne and publisher Benjamin Franklin proud of you.

Bryan,

If it is un-pc around here to have the opinion that the DP is not worthy of respect, then please just ban me now. I do not share your opinion on this and I do not personally respect the owner of the DP, or his vision. I came here, from there, hoping that this place would be different. So far it has been. I want nothing to do with the DP, so much so that I'd rather not even be a part of a site that makes criticism of the DP an offense. I feel strongly about this. (obviously) If it is not OK to criticize the DP around here, I am requesting that you ban me now.
