Some funny quotes I found by Ms Squire
thread for quote one
Here ya go trolls...
[target.gif]
Another TARGET. (Do your darndest!)
[snip]
Then, like most of you, we're completely SICK of the trolls, hecklers
and general nonsense posters. What a major pain they are and a waste of
time and energy!
Since no one person wants to be glued to the internet 24/7 it's better to
have a group of regular posters, JOINED BY ALL OF YOU, to keep
many eyes on the lookout for dribble posts that really need a quick
delete.
If you see something that needs attention just post a "DELETE
PLEASE" request on that thread. When several "real" posters (not trolls)
say "delete" then fine. (It's a democratic group thang).
All pollys, doomers and every flavor of the Y2K rainbow of posters is
welcome to state their opinions about Y2K and inter-related topics.
Flammers will be encouraged by all us to "calm down," whereas out-and-
out hecklers and "potty" trash may receive a (relatively) quick delete.
None of us is "into" censorship, editing posts, seemingly taking away
ANYONE's freedom-of-speech, etc. (Shudder!) But we would like to
encourage the wonderful and diverse exchange of opinions that this
Forum is *sometimes* known for.
*Sigh*

This little blast from the past should interest you no matter what
side of the y2k awareness debate you were on. The thread below is at
the root of the censorship issue on the old TB2000 forum.

In a word... YES. One on preparation and advice, heavily moderated,

A group is working on it.
Then, compare and contrast that with KNOWN TROLLS, hecklers and
general distuptors, posting under numerous interconnected names

editing... and playing upon those FEARS, I might add...

five

Diane, still a 5 locally. Globally... ranging between 1 thru 10 in

"used to think"?? It was not "think". The question we had was
never "if" but "why"? In sharp contrast to the de-bunkers and the Non-
Doomers who never told peope what to think (we told you what we
thought you could not believe) the "Play Directors of FearBombI" DID
tell you exactly what to believe: "you done better prepare or you are
kaputsville".
We could document it 100s of times. It was deliberate to divert the
casual visitors and even mislead the regulars thus preventing them
form coming out from under the Propaganda smog.
That was not original to me. Paul Davis documented it and posted it
to StinkBomb I. It was one of the reasons he left. It was bad enough
that people would counter him with ignorance. It was worse when the
Web site Directors and Producers would change the stage settings and
bury his threads. It was right out of a playbook of how to capture
and hold any political or social group by a minority.
And as can be seen now, removing the CENSORS and the "Choreographers"
enables most posters on this site to make up their own minds without
the Fog.
I still believe that. There were three methods to bury any one
posting good news.
Out would come Keven/linkmeister and the rest with old links
endlessly repeated to counter the news.
When they couldn't do that the Cult Choir would pounce on their
posters of good news and just "rant and chant" down the non-True
Believers and non-preparers.
Dead end the thread and bury it under a bunch of "change the subject"
threads" so that new visitors or even daily ones couldn't or didn't
see the post.

And before anybody jumps on this post. Yes, I have an ax to grind.
These two "women" (they give the female sex a bad name), gave me a lot
of grief last year when they were WRONG and I was right. I could
picture Miss Piggy's face turning red as I calmly questioned her
conclusions. And old twit running to her husband asking for agreement
on how the military works. What a duet!

I feel sorry for Paul if he thought his threads were being buried.
The uncomplicated explanation for the continuing interest in Y2k
there was that the forum's name was Time Bomb 2000, not
Debunking Y2k. It was intended for people who were concerned
about the impact of Y2k on their personal lives. The Gary North is
a Big Fat Idiot and Debunking Y2k forums were for those
concerned about the impact of Y2k panic on their lives.
The irony of Y2k is that the concerns of those on both sides of the
Y2k awareness issue turned out to be unnecessary.

awareness issue turned out to be unnecessary.
No, the irony is that the doomers and their supporters were "OK" with
tagging the realists with propigating "spin" and the "deaths of many".
There was going to be "blood on polly hands"....they were called
shills, assholes and worse. some were even murdered horribly in
fictitous scenarios....all to the praise of the onlookers. Very few
stood up to be counted and said "Hey, wait just a damn minute
here...."
The irony is that those that acted so dispicably last year have run
off and holed up under their various rocks....instead of apologizing
for the way they acted.

behavior)

There was a lot of name calling on the part of both doomers and
pollys. Speaking for myself, I did not care to read--and certainly
did not want to engage in conversation with--extremists on either
side.
As many messages as there were last year, most people had to decide
which threads were the most important to read. The threads with
documentation and reasoning are the ones I mostly chose to read.
Threads started to provoke yet another round of flame wars were
threads to be avoided.
