Further Light and Knowledge

And . . . I was told to "tone down" my post at NOM today.

So, fuck NOM's and their sheltered, unrealistic, viewpoints ripe with "We want to live in a fantasy world where we respect the Q15 who we admit fuck us over with lies and deceit but we are going to continue to love them and respect them and kiss their wrinkly asses throughout all eternity."

I'm impressed by your determination to remain surprised that somebody might ask you to temper your tone out of respect for others. I'm sure that with your determination you could accomplish, and maybe already have accomplished, many great and wonderful things.

After all you may be right about everything and it is everyone else that has it wrong. Stick it to the man. The world needs your scathing critiques so badly. You have opened my eyes to the error of my way.

I was just so stupid until I met Floater. How could I have missed something so obvious?

Fuck respect and all that it entails. I don't need friends cuz I have the internet!

LOL!

And I had two in the chamber, ready to spin!

It's empty now dude - thanks!

Interesting point.

( stranger, hope you're well)

So, since you brought it up, what did you do to get locked out?

(I got locked out when I called someone a pedophile and a NOMer called StarStuff mistook it as an ad hominem attack and the last straw for one named d0nquix0te. Of course when the pedophile admitted to staring at the boobs of teenage girls, and even told a 15 year old girl on NOM that she should be flattered by this attention . . . I felt I was just describing the situation and not launching a personal attack.).

15 year olds deserve the freedom of childhood. They do not need perverts defending the ever present "male gaze." Civility is absurd in this situation.

There is danger when any group places the value of civility above even basic human decency. NOM is becoming a very homogenous group of 30 -60 something males who cry about their male sexual repression and share masturbation stories with each other.

NOM is becoming e a place where you can sexually assault children, so long as you give a good reason for it.

I have a masterbation story. This one time at band camp...

Sad. What gives? I don't ever remember being told to "tone it down" at NOM. But I do remember JV being a big troublemaker over there, lol .

Hey! Long time no see, Desert Vulture.

I was rarely a troublemaker at NOM. (I saved it for the Foyer--I'm actually still meeting new people who remember some of that early stuff.) Once, though, on NOM, I compared the Church to Mao-era China and Dathon told me he was trying to discourage people from comparing the Church to a totalitarian regime, since it might scare away newbs. I can't remember how it worked out, exactly, but I think it got edited.

NOM has clearly changed direction from when we were posting there regularly. Self-editing for the benefit of believers is now required. I actually think Dathon is one of the people who has to self-edit the most. How he can bring himself to do that for 10,000+ posts, I'm not sure I understand, but I have some respect for that effort as a sincere strategy to reach the maximum number of people who need reaching that he can. Whether it is the most effective strategy for reaching and helping people is another question, of course. Lots of NOM alums don't think so. Kicking somebody off the board for calling another poster out on predatory activities goes too far, IMO. That kind of bizarre stuff happens at NOM every once in a while, and it's one of the reasons I don't spend much time there.
