I've been posting on forums.corvetteforum.com and one of the moderators there likes to lock my threads when they can't answer my logic regarding liberty. The latest thread was locked after only 1 day...

Seems they didn't like a simple yes/no answer I put to them that none would answer...

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/pol...ersy/3022544-how-many-of-you-republicans.html

Of course I know that the forum is "private property" and they can do whatever they like there, but I am just pointing out how they "just can't handle the truth" :D

Here's what I wrote to the moderator "cor08vette":

You love to lock my threads when no one can respond to my logic...

So I put your neo-cons on the spot by showing their hyprocracy and your response is to "lock" my threads. Pretty heavy handed of you. What are you afraid of? You afraid that showing that NONE of the neo-cons dare answer a simple question shows how weak you guys are? Your positions are ANTI-constitution, ANTI-liberty, and Amoral. And you hate it when you see how empty your positions are...

Thanks a lot ...
 
People generally dont like to be wrong. That's why some prophets eventually become martyrs.
 
You come off as a self-righteous asshole, and are not doing us any favors by acting like a dick on a message board that isn't even somewhat related to modern American politics.

Also, if you're really trying to make the Ron Paul people look remotely sane, I would highly suggest you do your best to hide the fact that you're a "Christian Anarchist." Yikes.
 
What was this supposed to accomplish. Last thing we need is for them to be provoked into trolling over here.
 
Sometime MEN need to hear hard truth in a hard way. Staying cordial with wolves will sometimes get you eaten. If he was on a pastel wearing metro-sexual corvette club for she-men forum maybe that tactic wouldn't be so good. But for men that still have testosterone between their legs his approach may not be that bad.

Are corvette guys anything like Trucker guys?

Note to the wise: My sampling group happens to be truckers, most of which do not wear pastels.

I must back up the others, I read about a page and a half, pretty childish stuff both from you and them, I wouldn't even bother on a forum like that.
 
Theres a whole variety of posters there, but you can't call them all neocons - imo, they probably are not politically active at all. Sure, they do need to wake up from their ignorant slumber, but don't annoy them with such silly things.
 
Moderators have the job of making sure that the content out there is what their audience wants to read... So while it's very clear by the avatars that political discussion does happen there, it's also clear by how that discussion was going that it was quickly on it's way to nothing but a pissing match, and it sounds like you've already talked to them enough about Paul to where a definition of republic probably was not going to go anywhere good and worth reading pages about... Also, it's a corvette forum, so don't expect them to just leave open political pissing matches that very few want to read except you and those involved.

ETA: though if he never locks other political pissing matches before they go to far, then maybe you can say you're being singled out, but my guess is that's not what's going on here.

Unless you were there to bring up something about the bailout of General Motors, I probably wouldn't want politics cluttering up my automobile enthusiast forums, either.
 
To clarify, I'm posting in the "Politics, Religion & Controversy" sub-forum. If you look there, there's all kinds of political talk (and lots of Paul bashing). I think you will find that NONE of the other threads get locked but mine. Again, I KNOW it's their "property" and they can do what they want, I'm just pointing out their tactics...

I guess I should not have even cared, sorry...

Oh, I didn't notice that about the sub-forum. It's okay to care, but don't let it eat away at you. I've had plenty of internet spats myself on dedicated political forums and if I let it get my blood pressure up as much as I'd allow it to, I'd be bleeding out my eye sockets.

If it's any consolation to you, just know that when the economy collapses and rioting starts thanks to to Federal Reserve's actions, you don't have to give these people any of your bread or silver, because they wouldn't listen.

Depressing thread ...

I don't often run into that many people that ignorant. I hope I'm not isolated, and that that's not the norm.

That's how I cope. I will be on a family-owned self-sufficient compound hours away from populated areas and I will find peace that we will be okay while those who did not listen starve and struggle.

Regardless, I wouldn't have started your thread with "you republicans".... Sounds very much like a personal attack, and not a thread aimed at political discourse, but rather increasing division.... If I choose to talk about Dr. Paul's issues in non-policitcal forums, I know that I need to come with extremely compelling discussions and not be divisive about it.

I could be wrong that they just don't like Paulbots, but seems like you're trying to cross a line they don't want crossed.
 
To be honest a corvette forum is just no place where I'd meet politically open minded and liberty seeking people. If people have a corvette and visit a corvette forum I would take a guess that there political smarts are just not there, no offense. I can't imagine talking and reading about a thing(corvette) all day, then again I don't really understand any attachment to physical objects unless the goal is to better understand the objects.
