    I was talking about myself and no one else. I don't give a rat's ass if other people are socially backward when it comes to treatment of women on wov or not.

    I'm not sure what makes you think I am either, especially since there are very few women on there anyways, so there's not enough examples for anyone to make a legitimate argument about me either way. Anything I have said that might give someone that idea was most likely a joke.

    I have met or talked with 3 women from WOV and I'm certain they themselves wouldn't agree with you. You have proven my point that you have no idea what you're talking about when it comes to me. I think constantly calling a female derogatory names would be a good example of socially backward treatment of women.

    Previous to WoV, I had no idea there existed a Crimm. It was his membership there that tipped me to his reality. And over his time spent there, I viewed a lot of his actions. Lots about machine play, obviously. A bunch about drifting and riding the rails. And eventually this "other side" of him where he'd get drunk and go on a tear. Said tears usually revolved around his idea of him being a grade A #1 badass.

    Do you reckon I'm a precog, LarryS? The posts you quoted to support your stance were from a month ago. The decision I made was some two years ago. If I had previous experience with Crimm, perhaps that whole scene would have went down differently. I know, were Stanton to visit WoV, that he wouldn't get passed typing "Ki..." before I banned him forever, because I do know that history and could judge where it would go and would want no part of it. Mickey's tirade, at least at that point in time, was an anomaly.

    So you're exactly right. All I could do was view what was in front of me and make an informed decision. And that's what I did. Here was a man that did and said a lot of things, but as far as I had seen, the only thing he ever hated was pussies and cowards. Then BOOM, racial bigotry. On one hand, completely unacceptable. On the other... an anomaly. A chance to learn. An opportunity for discussion that might change a life. A chance to exercise restraint when it comes to censorship (which I and I suspect most people hate). Not to mention maintaining my own rep which is to be reasonable and factual, without resorting to emotional reaction. In other words, I tried my best. I did not think everyone was going to be happy with it, and I am fine with criticism. And I certainly expected a few to tear into to me for it. But as much as I expected it, you were not one who I thought would be doing it, especially with your staunch defense of seemingly everyone on the internet.

    My decision, whether wise or not, came from a place of nothing but positivity and a desire to turn shit into something of value. Said decision certainly wasn't malicious, or hasty, or indifferent. Yet because you didn't agree, or maybe didn't understand, it was enough to turn me from "us" into "them". From your neighbor into your enemy.

    It's never sat right with me. Thanks for the opportunity to discuss it.

    The term "racist" no longer has the full intended meaning it once had. It is used for different purposes in today's politically correct society. It is the term liberals use to silence critics of their ill-conceived social policies.

    Larry, not sure why you would make a comment that Someone is socially awkward..... I can assure you that you could not be further from the truth . But in reality having met many people from Wov in person , you are probably the one that is the most socially awkward

    You were talking about your manboy wiz who you said posed with women to attract women to the site. You didn't speak only for yourself. So don't change history. It's here for you to read.
    And you you you did participate in the favorite woman's body part thread.

    So you you you participated to objectify women just as manboy wiz objectified women by using them as props in pictures.

    So you you you have done your part to help support the culture.

    Yo you you are the apologist when talking about his posing with women.
    You you you chose to comment on it...and I chose to comment on your comment

    Again you have a history of poor assumptions and illogical leaps...This is just another.
    Socially backward people often bear that mental affliction

    I find LarryS to be the bulldog. He goes after stupidity (John Patrick) and chutzpah (The Shack) with equal fervor. He never lets up, it never gets old. It would be such a disappointment if his adversaries actually begged forgiveness for their transgressions. Not gonna happen, it's called ego, the show continues. If his critics have nothing better than gutter talk, well then he has won the battle.

    In the end I was banned from WoV because I was labeled a racist. In today's politicallly correct world the so called learned people will label anyone a racist that utters the word nigger. That is, unless you are black. Then you are free to use the word all you want to without fear of repercussion. The mindset that allows such a double standard is the real racism.

    I took time out yesterday to go see The Free State of Jones. The hero, Newton Knight, put his life on the line fighting for racial equality, racial tolerance, racial justice....but the word nigger was part of his every day vocabulary. He would be branded 100% pure racist in today's politically correct world.

    I'm a pretty good genealogist. When I get home I'm going to look into whether I'm related to Newton Knight. He was actually from Jasper County, not Jones, where so many of my ancestors were from.

    I like Newt. He's my kind of man. We hold the same beliefs when it comes to race....but neither one of us was ever afraid of the littke bitty word, nigger, like the politically correct are.

    There is one group of people that you politically correct folks can never fool when you get to professing your abhorance of racism....black people. They KNOW you are full of shit.

    Members who visited WOV Saturday June 25th...a paltry 180. Several of those were in red meaning they can't post...meaning they shouldn't even be counted. Meaning they pad things any way they can over there. But they have integrity. That's okay...we'll go with the 180.

    That's less than 1.5% of the supposed 12,198 members that the site boasts.

    Where's old Buzzard when you need him? He could get that number up to 250 if he used all his names just once.

    well again 2 things can be equally valid. Based on your background which you detailed, you can feel with conviction that you acted appropriately.

    And with my background from a remaining family of holocaust survivors....I can with equal conviction view your actions from my "world" of zero tolerance for hate speech in an environment where I would view other customers of your company, be banned for what in my mind was far far far lesser actions.
    When I see myself being banned for zero reason given, and others being banned for being labeled "trolls"(a very subjective classification....it seemed a real no brainer in this case. From my side of things I was saying to myself....what the fuck....how did the other folks get summarily dismissed, and this guy has to have people huddle to figure the course of action.

    THATS what I reacted to and continue to react to....a company with uneven customer service.. Depending who is on duty, depending if the manboy is in a "bad mood"., depending if the beached whale decides to over rule another mod, or would rather threaten someone rather than take action. Or depends on if a mod likes the person enough to keep erasing his posts to save him.

    Meanwhile people get banned for rules that dont even exist. Or get banned for no reason given.

    So since we both draw on our backgrounds....there is no right or wrong in how we "feel".

    But there is right and wrong in the total uneven-ness of punishment that the business you work for engages in. No one likes to see themselves and their neighbors treated unevenly and therefore unfairly.There is a "fix: for that...which I have explained in many posts. But the powers that be arent interested in customer retention.

    This incident was just another uneven way people were treated. Vert rarely is there a "to be determined" given for punishment.
    Punishment at your company has always been swift .

    And the term "your company"...i use as anyone would toward people who put on the uniform(literally or figuratively) of any "for profit" corporation

    Says the guy who has 2200 posts on WOV...mostly lies. Would you like to discuss them?

    Still waiting for the screen shot of your conversation with juiciejennie that YOU offered to provide. No one asked... You offered. That's one of the traits of a compulsive liar when caught...make more wild claims. Tell us about the six figures that you kept in safes at the World Trade Center.

    You do know they're talking about you over there? They see right through you. So many PMs to keep up with. Keep shouting troll like a 12 year old on the school playground. It carries no weight here. By the way, I saw little Johnny running in the hall. Be sure to report him to the monitor.

    Now show us another trait by responding that freddy sucks, his kids suck, his whole family sucks. Show your rage. Don't hold it in. You make more money, you have a better car, you hang with more celebrities....mostly dead ones. Does that still count? Where are you and Phil Ivy going next? I'll bet it's a big secret.
