The true form of the shitpost — fdrake

Please let me stop you right there, Drake. There is no such thing as "the true form of the shitpost". Why? Because "shitposts" (whatever that means) do not have a "form" (whatever that means).

is that which leaves what is stated unstated and what is unstated stated. — fdrake

That sounds like nonsense.

I have never thought of being a moderator on anything.

Philosophy of Religion? An interesting topic, indeed. But my knowledge doesn't go beyond Kierkegaard or Hegel. Very basic. That's why I appreciate the guts of those who volunteer to moderate!

That sounds like nonsense. — Arcane Sandwich

Nonsense is the said unsaid.

Well, if you want to be a moderator, you have to think about it! You can't just wait for the admins of a forum to approach you and say "hey javi, wanna take time our of your weekly schedule to work for free as a forum moderator?" It's like, they can't ask you to do that. Not because it's unlawful (it isn't) or illegal (it isn't), but rather because it's not polite. It's not polite to ask people to work for free. That's why you have to volunteer. And, arguably, for legal reasons, you have to do it explicitly. Stated differently, you make an explicit request.

Yeah, maybe.

It's not polite to ask people to work for free. — Arcane Sandwich

True, but that must not surprise anyone since volunteering is already a free task. So, I don't see why it would not be polite to ask for doing it for free. We are talking about volunteers, not bankers. :rofl:

Javi, I consider you a friend. So, please let me give you some advice: that joke that you just made there, could get you killed IRL. Not by me, obviously. But, if you made that joke in New York City, to an Italian, you might get killed. I should know, part of my heritage is Italian.

I'm not trying to scare you, Javi. I'm just giving you some advice. Italians won't take it easy on you just because you're Spanish.

Trust Me Bro.

I'm not sure why, but I'm afraid now. See? Moderation is riskier than we imagined.

Trust Me Bro. — Arcane Sandwich

I wholeheartedly trust you, mate.

To me it's nothing. I'm a blue belt in brazilian jiu jitsu. I'm ready to die right now, I don't give a fuck.

I trust you too, friend.

So, @fdrake, you wanna tell me why you're not passionate about Mathematics anymore?

I just don't care about big number, because big number is big is boring.

Hmmm... but that just begs the question: what is not boring, then?

@fdrake, do you mind if I invite @Wayfarer to this virtual farewell party of yours? Wayfarer, what do you think of TREE(3)?

See title. Please don't me for mod reasons after Friday, kthx. — fdrake

You're still staying on the forum though, right?

Yeah. Though I probably won't post much. After I've spent my pent up energy from being neutral for a decade.

Hey, hey! I'm a True Neutral on the D&D alignment chart. Always have, always will be! :sparkle:

You defended people who were abusive. Maybe don't do that in real life.

Oh? Who?

I hope you can elucidate to us the true nature of statistics. Would it be possible to one day discover causation from correlation?

Just food for thought.

Oh? Who? — fdrake

Mikie was just one long stream of verbal abuse. There wasn't even any philosophy in it. Just abuse. You defended her every step of the way. Why did you do that?

The majority of @Mikie's posts that you were talking about, I believe, were directed toward people who he believed - reasonably - were supporting genocide, the thorough subversion of democracy, and the annihilation of the human race. It is unreasonable to expect anyone to be civil about such things.

And you really believe this is what was happening?

her — frank

he — fdrake

...

And you really believe this is what was happening? — frank

Yes. I advise you try moderating any political discussion which involves climate change, gender, race or Gaza.

Dude. She was abusive to everybody every single day.

Sorry to step in. As I discussed before with being a moderator is not easy. I respect that you perhaps experienced things you did not like, yet it is not the time to exploit the situation. We can't just reduce fdrake's commitment to your negative experience with Mikie. We all deserve a broadly based assessment. It is not fair to point out one thing you disliked when his compromise lasted nearly ten years.

This was my goodbye message to him. Don't defend abusive people.

I see. Well I suppose you could make a Feedback thread.

Understood, frank.

I will not defend abusive people; so did fdrake I am sure.
