This morning I tried to access a discussion forum only to find that I'd been banned. It's happened before and each time I knew it was about to happen and took steps to prevent it - PRESUMING THAT THE MODERATORS / BOARD OWNERS WERE HONEST.

This time was no different, except my approach to strategy. And it taught me a lesson. Here is what happens:

When you go on a discussion board, they expect you to toe the line with regards to that board's agenda. NOBODY starts a board without having an agenda. So, in this case I was being attacked by some emotionally challenged moron that called himself Bailey Boat. He would come onto a thread and begin calling people names, challenging their intelligence / sanity / personal convictions. Every board has its own Bailey Boat and some have multiple Bailey Boats. Before this board, our old board challenged some people from Dumber Than Turds (DTT) and we exposed them for having multiple sockpuppets. The socks are usually admins or moderators.

In the instant case, the sock jumped onto a thread I started. After he tried to derail it several times by calling me names and trying evoke an emotional response, I reported him through the "Report" feature. Nothing was done. So, figuring those kinds of attacks were kosher, I answered in the same spirit by which I'd been addressed. That netted me a warning. And I responded by telling the moderators that I had reported the offender numerous times, but nothing was done. What I was supposed to think was acceptable or unacceptable? They let it go and told me to report it next time. And Bailey Boat came back again - I think he called me ignorant, stupid and a few other names... and I reported him... and nothing was done. Then he did it to others... and nothing was done. So, when he started threatening me and calling me names I responded in like kind. That brought a thread from a moderator warning everyone. And I sent the moderator of that thread a personal note, saying what I did here.

Additionally, I told the moderator that their "solution" for people like me was to put the person on Ignore. Let me be blunt. That is a load of horseshit. That is the moderator / admin telling you they won't do jack about a troublemaker. If the board has rules and certain characters aren't held to that standard, what is really going on? In my PM about Bailey Boat I offered to walk away and they wouldn't have to ban me, but they were cowards and unethical in their response. Without a credible cause of action, they banned me. But, the ban confirmed what I've suspected for years. If someone is calling you names or trying to pretend to be Perry Mason, interrogating you with multiquotes while pulling accusations out of their ass and you have them on Ignore, a lot of people are going to wonder what is wrong with you for not responding. Most people won't read the thread when there are a host of off topic posts, trolling, name calling, etc. But, that is EXACTLY how people maintain control of their board and the information that you can have access to. And WHY are they so divisive?

The left has set up most of the boards for you to be able to vent, promote utter nonsense and give credence to lies while remaining inactive. The board owners don't want real debates and they don't like challenges to their preconceived opinions. They want to retain control and they want to brainwash the right. They want to provide the left with a daily popularity poll so that they keep up the illusion that the left is always in control. Their efforts to censor the truth just woke up a sleeping giant. One day I'll have this Internet thing figured out and then I will REALLY screw up some tyrant's day.

Four views in almost a month? Are you kidding me? Well I'm not going to allow one of the most important threads go out without a fight.

People post on bigger discussion boards and they comment on sites like Quora and in MSN News. They go to Facebook and anywhere they think they will find a big audience. There they waste their words. Their limited by algorithms, moderators and censors. So, they become as about as effective as a castrated bull in a field full of heifers. Back to my standard mantra: Real change has never come from among the masses. This Sunday I listened to a preacher talk about how Christians were losing to the atheists and others. Amazingly, this guy is a theologian and he noticed what I have been posting about for the last few decades.

In order to make any difference at all, we have to start in small groups and each one teach one. Noah tried to warn the world of the impending events that were about to take place, but the only people that paid any attention to him were members of his family. In my mind I've had more than three decades of pontificating and predicting things about the future - and, alas, probably 90 percent of these things happened. I told people for decades that Fox News was fake. Now they have lost the largest lawsuit in history and - surprise... I was right. A couple of weeks ago I was banned from one of the larger boards. The incident gave me cause to go back and evaluate what was going on when I got banned. A major lesson was learned and you NEED to read this. It is going to benefit you, so here goes:

Most major discussion boards and a lot of the smaller ones have sock puppets. Sock puppets are people who have more than one account and pretend to be multiple different posters. They can make it look like there is more support for a position than there actually is. In this case, I ran up against a guy calling himself ahole. This guy has been on the board a really long time. He pretended to be all right wing and patriotic. And I get on a thread about gun control and kids. The standard mantra for the right is to tell people we need to enforce the existing laws (many of which are wholly unconstitutional.) And, if putting people into prison were the silver bullet, we'd be the place with the least amount of crime in the world. The United States has more people in prison than any country on the planet - both in raw numbers and per capita incarcerations.

I suggested my plan to go to the root of the problem on mass shootings and address the children who are put on "legal" drugs by the system (parents, mental health officials, doctors, psychiatrists, the government, Big Pharma, schools, etc.) Instead of just prescribing drugs we find out if the child has a problem OR whether it is related to their family life (one parent home, physical or emotional abuse, drugs in the home, absent parents, etc.) You can feed a kid all the drugs you like, but if the parents are the problem you're pissing in the wind to give them drugs. Yet that is what the system does. And those kids grow up to commit the mass murders. It is true more than 90 percent of the time. But, I became too effective. And so ahole began acting condescending toward me and then telling me that my plan might sound good, but would get people thrown into prison. Bullshit. I've been working on this for over four decades and I've worked a lot of years in the field. I've study the practicalities and the possible costs (there aren't any.) I've spent thousands of hours over those years doing legal research to see how it might be misused. It can't. So, when I reminded this guy that we will either find a way to address the problem of mass shooters when they are kids and change the system, he accused me of making claims against him and suggesting he was a drug dealer. Needless to say we got into a shitstorm over it and I got banned. But this time I compared it to the last couple of boards:

* There is ALWAYS a guru or more than one that have all the answers and they can talk down to other posters
* The gurus can make false allegations, call you names, etc. and the best you can do is "report" them
* You report them and nothing happens. The offending posts, name calling, false allegations, etc. remain
* Once you respond to these trolls, you get banned... and the gurus make that inevitable; they accuse, call you names, etc. and for no reason, but WHEN they do it is telling. On this last board I'd been there several years and played the game, foolishly thinking that among the thousands of "likes" I'd made a difference. Then, the first time I had something substantial to say, the guru is talking down to me and saying stuff he didn't have the courage to say to my face. This is the way it works. And there is a reason:

The puppet masters create the illusion that we have access to the Internet. We don't. We're just convenient targets and dumb asses that play the game, only to be manipulated. Most of the people claiming to be on the right are still playing the games that caused the right to get flipped and now support abortion, gun control, womb to the tomb surveillance, the so - called "Patriot Act," National ID / REAL ID Act - E Verify, the ultimate POLICE STATE, globalism and all of it ends at socialism and communism. In other words, ALL of the major discussion boards, regardless of what they claim, are controlled by the left. Many smaller boards are exactly the same. And the moment you offer out of the box solutions, they will find a way to get rid of you. The double standards by which they allow trolls to operate without fear of reprisals from moderators and administrators tells it all.

The real deal is that most change begins with small groups of people. My standard talking points on this is to look at Jesus. He had but twelve apostles and He changed the world. Fifty six men dared to challenge King
George and from that came the Declaration of Independence. The greatest nation in the written history of governments took place with just a handful of people to start the effort. On the other side of the political coin, Hitler started out with a few guys sitting around, drinking in a pub. With a country about the size of Texas, Hitler nearly took over the world. If you're stuck in a rut and posting before throngs of other people, but found your way here then you know I'm right. You are not effective and it's time to start small and grow. Here is there is NO censorship and if you're prepared, we have REAL discussions and offer REAL solutions.
