Attention Displaced Rand Fans from the DP

[jtstellar]

DP has always had users that skew further "left" than rpfs. Rand has not used the same rhetoric his dad used that appeals to lefties. A lot of it has do with Rand trying to work with and grow the GOP; they resent that. It is what it is, there is plenty of internet for all of us.

Welcome aboard OP.

how the world works

someone or some site has to stir things up in a major way otherwise nothing will happen.. if no one stirs things up there won't be a 'great compromiser' to even ascend.. everybody can't just be a leader and claim himself to be above the crowd and transcend everything without another group first stirring things up, it's like rand coming after ron's work, you have libertarian sites so far kicking and banning people according to site owner's dislikes, but not a site that truly aims to ban trolls that obviously have a thing for rand and aren't helping us win elections. we haven't had a campaign oriented site that's willing to stir things up yet, every other shit variety out there we have had, not sure why no one wants to stick up for rand and the real seriousness of our work here which is elections. when it comes to that, everyone backs up and throws their hand in the air 'oooh we're better than that' such pretentious hypocrites.. other sites ban people to owner's liking, we can't do that to rand election's liking here? talk about head in the cloud.. how about let's stir things up in the positive direction for once and let latter comers worry about being the 'great compromiser'? you're not looking good in any regards until someone is willing to do the dirty work to contrast you. why don't we be the first and push and the envelope? what are we so afraid of? people have said rand has a shot for years and now it's more and more obvious, and we keep still dragging our feet while time runs short, it's like we really think changing policies 12 months up to an election does anything

Yes Ma'am, this is the place to be now. But I will be keeping my account over there. I hope I can continue to post on Federal, State and local candidates. That's what it's about. RPF For the WIN!

Bryan runs a great site here, wonderful guy, I am not just saying that.

Thanks! The format will take a little getting used to but "it's all good in the hood".

Loving the smileys!

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.

I tried the DP once, had the same reaction.

You always come off sounding like a very angry person.

I'd be willing to bet that when election time comes around there will be a site for Rand. Or maybe you could create one. :o

Uhm, so all that to complain that rpfs doesn't ban enough people? Meh.

 

[dinosaur]

That site creeps me out. Seriously. I went over there to find the post that precipitated this, and wish I hadn't. All I can say is that is the first time I've ever heard someone accuse Rand of having cold dead eyes and living out his immaturity on a national stage. Weird, and sad.

Bryan is working on a new set of guidelines and also will now have the ability to ban people from specific forums, so that will help keep the tensions down... and the focus on supporting Rand in his forum.

 

[Unknownuser]

I think this is it here.

Is someone going to moderate the Rand bashing?

Examples?

 

[V3n]

Examples?

We've all seen the Rand bashing here - "his hair is funny" - "he's too short" - "I don't like the way he worded this one thing, even though I like his vote on it"

I don't think it's heavily moderated, it just kind of takes care of itself by allowing the discussions to play out.
I haven't seen anything toooooo negative that I thought was ban-worthy.

 

[Unknownuser]

Examples?

Perhaps I don't mean moderating or anything drastic like banning anyone but it would be great to have a centralized location for the grassroots campaigning for the Randsters when he decides to hit the trail. Since Ron has retired, the DP has become very divisive on the topic of Liberty. It's sort of morphed into a collective.

One of the problems on here is that Rand can say a bunch of good stuff and it only gets a few replies, while we end up with a 20 page thread if Rand says something that would contradict the Rothbardian position on an issue or endorses someone who does the former.

Hi, Unknownuser. I am Habit4ming at the DP and Habit4ming here at RPForum. I've been a member here for several years, but like you, posted more at DP due to its user-friendly layout. I'm not sure how much I can help as the election nears (my health took a nosedive), but I can pass on info and can donate some FRNs. I think Rand as POTUS is our best bet to begin turning this country back around, hopefully avoiding violent revolution.

 

[Inkblots]

While there are a few "Rand-skeptics" here on the forums, most them at least recognize that Rand's the best thing we've got going at the national level at the moment. I'll be surprised if all but 1 or 2 don't ultimately support his '16 run.

Also, things run pretty smoothly around here. I've always appreciated that this site needs minimal moderator intervention to work well - I'm not sure why some of you think we need closer monitoring.

Last of all, welcome to the site, Unknownuser! We usually have a good old time around here. If you're confused about the format, feel free to ask anything. A brief guide to help: if you click the "Top News" button at the top of the site, you'll get the frontpage section which has stories the mods think are interesting or important on the right and a column showing the newest posts in the most active sections of the Forums on the left. I usually use it exclusively since I can keep track of all the latest posts across several sections from there. If you click on the "Liberty Forums" button up at the top, you'll be taken to the root menu of ALL the forums on the site, most of which are self-explanatory.

I think it will change when he hits the campaign trails.
