It's all about me

[NoMoreSlave]

I was just noticing a little thing that popped up when I logged in. It asks me to click on agree if I want to post. Here is the last paragraph of it:

"The owners of LawTalk Forums have the right to remove, edit, move or close any thread for any reason."

This is the first time I saw this. The timing is funny, no? Was this planted today by a certain someone? Who OWNS these forums anyway and at what point in time did they become owners? Thats not how this thing was started as I recall. Furhter, if the owners are admins and they violate the terms of service, repeatedly, who is going to police them? Apparently nobody.

So, please tell us, since I cant find it anywhere on the site,

1) Who owns Lawtalkers exactly?
2) When did this become a private incorporated enterprise?
3) Is this enterprise for profit? For example, if the amount of donations were to exceed the amount of costs to run the joint, where would those proceeds go exactly? How can you ask for proceeds to fund this place without disclosing that its owned by a couple of posters?

Now I know why Slave was trying to change the subject to donations. I thought it was just bad debate tactictry, but it was an effort to get a little payola. now that I know that you cannot be removed as admin bc you apparnelty are an owner, I will change my ultimatum. You can take my donations as good will or intangible assets. Far more vaulable than cash to this little enterprise since this board is boring without me.

But I gotta say, given this deception, and the fact that yoiu also crepreatedly violate the TOS, I dont feel real fucking safe posting here at the moment.

Obscure mountain climbing joke...

This has nothing to do with anything, but everytime I look at your user ID, I see it as "NoMoreSalve".

Possibly b/c of the avatar -- John Basedow looks like he's got a bad sunburn or the runs or something. It's a working hypothesis.

Uh huh.

Though sometimes the paranoid are correct, because they really are out to get you, I don't think this is really one of those times.

I suggest you collect all the facts before snarking out, FOJRUSS

Fair enough. Any others we should know about?

I think thurgreed.

Slave made one minor post verboten. You can no longer do the fake deleted, which was Penske 101 anyway-who cares. Everyone jumps him like he's gone overboard.

Thurgreed has made "I invented ..." "Tiger Woods is crippled because....." and any number of other post type effectively subject to deletion. Plus he's a moderator or administrator or whatever that his name comes on in bold.

SS, where's the outcry?

I will let RT respond to you on Board structure if and when she so chooses to because, quite frankly, I've wasted enough of my life defending myself against your paranoid delusions and "chicken little" mantras, but I will say this -

I bring up the donations - repeatedly on Politics - because I find it repulsive that certain people like you expect a free ride around here.

This Board, which is not cheap to run, is financed solely via donations from posters and ad revenue from our fine sponsors, Legal Authority and Law Crossing. Several times in the past, we nearly ran out of cash. It is only through the generosity of the posters that this Site is still here.

That being said, some among us here, yourself included, seem to think that they are special. You seem to believe that others should be providing the funds for you. That you deserve a free hand out.

Not only do you do nothing to contribute to the longevity of the Site, but ALL you do is cause trouble for everyone else. With your constant meritless accusations, your off-Board gossip, and your repeated attempts to out people, you are nothing more than a pest.

Strike that. You do bring something to the Board - the joy of rubbernecking. Just as people cannot turn away from looking at a grisly car crash, everyone takes some morbid pleasure from reading your posts. Its not often one gets to watch the slow, agonizing decent of a human mind into dementia. In 5 years, we've watched you go from manic to paranoid to borderline insane. While tragic, it is also amusing.

If you do not feel safe posting here, simply leave.

In name only. They just did that to qualify for the minority owned business grants.

I'm drawing a line in the sand, if you cross it, I'm leaving.

Well, if you cross this line I'm leaving.

I meant, this line . . .this line . . . .this line. Ok, you caught me, I'm never leaving.

Really? I thought your Mockie post was right up there.

(How the fuck do you skate on this racist shit, bitch? Is it just the blessing of low expectations?)

Second test. I'll leave this one up a little bit longer.

Maybe 15 minutes?

(come on -- everyone knew this one, right?)

*KIDDING! It was a sock of mine that I thought everyone knew was mine, but learned that I broke bilmore's heart by revealing that it was merely a sock. I think he liked the sock better than me, the Minnesotan bastard.
