thanks for the welcome vison and everyone... looks like a good place you guys have got going here. I was kicked off torc for saying some things against xxxfrodo (something about tying him down sadomasochistic style), so I don't take it personally to say the least (he deserves it). Anyway, I've been perusing there for a few weeks as one silently suppressed...same old political topics... I'm over it.
Just so ya know, Jadeval, I recognized "xfrodobagginsx" from what he had been spamming on numerous other sites for the last nearly two years, we (some over in Manwe) called him out on it, and then people on TORC actually started responding to him seriously, which I think caught him totally off guard. Yes, he was a troll, he never did have any intention of sticking around and actually talk about his convictions and insistence, and I found it personally MOST annoying. But, TORC is TORC, and they have a zero tolerance policy when you get caught by the radar gun. I have learned how to avoid it for the most part, not saying I delve into underhanded tactics, but well, let us just say there is a distinct learning curve there on how to conduct oneself when complaining and responding to trolling and nasty posts.
:D:D
Please stick about, B77 is really a most open site, and I think you will see names popping up here from TORC that you will immediately recognize. Here is where we kick off the shoes and can be ourselves, and we are a lot more fun here than we are over there for the most part. I think there are even quite a few philosophy geeks here, although that is not my own personal cup of tea.
