Alil feedback & maybe collaborative efforts or think-tanking. Simple Wants.

I left that option off because i wished to encourage comment over a simple vote. The feedback has been entirely pleasant. Grateful that this is such an active & engaged Community.

Common Sense, it is.

I embrace Chaos. Nothing Is True. Everything Is Permitted. Muahahhaha. And i have a sense of humour.

@AlgosLethe exactly

I prefer to ask Humans & not common sense postings. I have been posting in unmoderated forums & find asking this question for my first posting is an appropriate gauge of the responses i may receive in the future.

Very well spoken.

Whoah, whoah, whoah... this ain’t America. This is the internet. No one has “rights” to do anything here. It's all a private party and the host doesn’t have to tolerate just any “free speech” that might include: hateful nonsense, deluded paranoia or any other variety of hostile or ungrateful speech. That being said, I think I cursed out the Admin once for deleting comments I made towards what I thought was a hostile and corrosive post. Yet, I’m still here... so, I think the Admin is pretty dang tolerant. As far as “free speech” goes out there in the “real world”.., there are a few things I like to remind people... free speech does not in any protect you from the consequences, if you are hostile, expect to get your teeth knocked in, legal or not... so watch your mouth if you like a face that doesn’t hurt. The other thing is, free speech does not guarantee an audience. No one has to listen or attend your tirade... there is no clause that states that anyone has to take you seriously or respect your opinions.

@Anemynous i also reserve myself under Right Speech as defined in the Eightfold Path of buddhist philosophy. If i wish to poke at something, i try Sly & flank. I have never been punched in the face so i think i have outwitted enough people to say that i gauge the situations well. Besides, the moment i am attacked, i win. Their Karma is their reaction. I will not withold my tongue if i believe i can handle the response. Intimidation is not part of the Dialectic - that is what Monkeys Do.

@Anemynous Expecting to be beaten for saying something is a reality. But the application of laws should pertain. Hit someone for else than self defense and you should be jailed.

And: i wrote that someone no doubt will start feeling insulted or demeaned,... and one of those someones may complain to an admin that their feelings are hurt and someone should punish the big bad person who wrote words, and that admin may concur, and then the rest of us lose.

And so it goes.

Thank you for being Frank.

My posting talks just about that issue. Anonymity brings out hidden thoughts that people, more often than not, will bring out. Another book "One day we will all be dead and none of this will matter" which I recommend talked about all the vitriol directed at her about what she said in the book AND her tribe (race - she was living in Toronto but from India).

@JackPedigo yes that is quite true. And the other thing is that even if a site asks for photos and other information there is no guarantee that any of it is accurate.

@AmelieMatisse Oh no, you have found me out!!

I'm adding this one to my list of oxymoron

See, i do believe in manners. As far fetched as it may be, how i carry myself matters to me. How i perceive others is equally important. As for oxymoronical, yes, anonymity does allow for abuse. Creating fake accounts, censorship through automated Abuse-reporting.etc etc etc

@AlgosLethe Does your belief in Manners make Trump exhibit them?
Although they may be nice, and serve a valid function in society, online people tend NOT to use them, and I (and you I bet) are often left aghast at the lack of them displayed.

Cheers to that notion.

Hehe. You my Kind.

My dick is really nice though ?

Succinctly put!

While i won't be asking for bibliographical citations, i expect a pointer when therr is something to learn. There are many learned-things that may not have been updatedin my Logic or Knowledgebase. Frankness is a Kudos

How do you know if you've been blocked? Can you still see their profile? Or is it just "gone"?

Eh, most likely you're not missing anything

@Anemynous When someone blocks you you can no longer view their posts, or their profile. But you'll still see their avatar listed in group memberships, and will still see if they have visited a post (their avatar thumbnail again). If you click on that in an attempt to view their profile you'll get a message that says "This profile is not currently active" or words to that effect. It's a dumb PC message that should just say "This member has blocked you so you can no longer view their profile, or their posts or comments."

@IAMGROOT Good point.
