Forums and freedom, and being capable of self criticism

This is joy to read, because it is real experience, which confirms that we are altogether "waking up"... We need it so badly... It is something I'd almost wish to get out of my head, but it is there all the time... Probably because that is the only chance for us to survive the fight against the evil, manifested in many structures... But if it is happening anyway, why do I need to want it so badly - you see ;-) If only I could relax and believe it's already been taken care by say the Earth itself or so ;-)



I'd say here, that NL is a new mod, and we should give him a chance to learn, do mistakes, learn... You know, let's take it easy... I understand Tony is pissed, and perhaps NL should quickly PM him and say sorry, and let's go... No big deal... Then hopefully Tony comes back.

in fact nextlevel is a very experienced mod (from MYTT)
Its that experience which makes his actions in respect of Tony seem so cynical

Can we lock this thread yet and argue about literally anything else?
I can only imagine how this looks to new users.

The reality is, it's difficult for people to know if you are posting as a "mod" or your own opinion.

Actually this maybe a good feature for users, who are also mods, to allow them to <Post as mod>.

And just to end this with a hint of excitement.....

New coming soon of the WORLDWIDE TTD Forum meet up......

Staying tuned...

Ooooh, careful Paddy.
That post could be Interpreted as quite aggressive!
Not as aggressive as shoving an olive branch up someones @£$&
but aggressive nonetheless 😉

Mod team:
Does Dan have anything to say about this?
They seem to be quick in publishing videos, but slow in addressing forum concerns.

Dan is living the dream, travelling the world and knocking up with some of the world's best players. I very much doubt he cares that much about a bit of forum drama lol.

He's appointed moderators to deal with these "issues" so he doesn't have to.

Maybe each mod should have two accounts

I guess that's the cheap solution. Not sure if preferable by mods. But it's a solution...

The fact that someone split my post into nine separate statements! gives me pause for thought. And yes, that does come across as aggressive, big little man.

I agree that politics should not be discussed on a TT forum; there are political forums for that. But if that is the case, then please remove the section “general off-topic discussion” from the forum, because in principle you could/should be able to write about politics there, for those who are interested, that is.

Now, if Tony's political contribution was the real reason for his ban, then you could argue that you can't have a discussion on your own, but always with two or more people. I find it very strange that someone constantly challenges Tony about China/Taiwan/Hong Kong and all the associated historical stories, and that this man (who I have no problem with, by the way, as I learn something about that history) is still here on the forum. Okay, he was banned for 24 hours, but he apparently enjoys constantly “provoking” a political clash with fellow forum members.
To be clear, I think banning someone is really condescending towards the person involved.

To gain or enforce respect, you have to be consistent, or so I've always been taught.
