Uh.....

I ticked the option where I said do not use. As in, do not include me in the election

You even sent me an email about this, telling me to nominate myself.

I made a thread saying that I do not believe in moderation. Therefore how can I want to be moderator.

Please do not fiddle with things I do not wish to be a part of.

Also I saw Brian Ross has more than zero votes.

This guy lies about military service and education, and launches ad hominems, and makes pages and pages of posts full of ad hominems, and he is not considered an ineffectual leader or unable to enforce norms or rules that he refuses to acknowledge?

will he moderate fairly and is he online much.... That's really the question, not if you disagree with what he says.....

I think Brian would do a good job in that he wouldnt tolerate bigots and racists.

Which in my opinion is what we need!

No. I did not have anything to do with that. I only PM'd you saying I think you should, in my view. VIC organised it all.

As for your comment on Brian Ross? Well, if you so strongly feel 'against' his even being a possibility - then you might as well put your hand up so that he 'doesnt'. 

I voted for Brian because he has a master's degree in defence studies.

If he gets in I'm joining the politics and debating club at university for my political outlet. I will leave. I don't need you.

He breaks all the rules and offers nothing to this website.

No discussion, no original input.

If that's the direction of your website I'll engage with real people who can't lie about their credentials or use ad hominems and tangents.

If this ship starts sinking I'm headed for the life raft.

I am not staying to be pulled in to line by someone who behaves in such manner.

I'll join the politics society.

This website has very little active participation.

Hit the Road, Spatch

Ray Charles

Hit the road Spatch and don't you come back
No more, no more, no more, no more
Hit the road Spatch and don't you come back
No more
What'd you say?

Hit the road Spatch and don't you come back
No more, no more, no more, no more
Hit the road Spatch  and don't you come back
No more

Oh woman, oh woman, don't treat me so mean
You're the meanest old woman that I've ever have seen
I guess if you say so
I'll have to pack my things and go (that's right)

Hit the road Spatch and don't you come back
No more, no more, no more, no more
Hit the road Spatch and don't you come back
No more
What'd you say?

Hit the road Spatch and don't you come back
No more, no more, no more, no more
Hit the road Spatch and don't you come back
No more

Now baby, listen baby, don't you treat me this way
'Cause I'll be back on my feet some day
Don't care if you do, 'cause it's understood
You ain't got no money, you just ain't no good
Well, I guess if you say so
I'll have to pack my things and go (that's right)

Hit the road Spatch and don't you come back
No more, no more, no more, no more
Hit the road Spatch and don't you come back
No more
What'd you say?

Hit the road Spatch and don't you come back
No more, no more, no more, no more
Hit the road Spatch and don't you come back
No more

Well (don't you come back no more)

Uh, what you say? (don't you come back no more)

I didn't understand you (don't you come back no more)

You can't mean that (don't you come back no more)

Oh now baby please (don't you come back no more)

What you tryin' to do to me? (don't you come back no more)

Oh, don't treat me like that, baby (don't you come back no more)

Okay I am going to be youthful at university and try and get a job as a writer with the university newspaper instead and join the politics society.

Because this place is not encouraging debate.

Woe is me.

No I'm just saying if you allow Brian Ross to degrade the quality of this website any further I'll go elsewhere. I'll forgo my anonymity to be around people who know what they are talking about and don't pretend to have Masters Degrees when they do not. People who can argue effectovely and respect the rights of others. I will.

I'm seriously not going to tolerate it. All the rules are broken by him. If the ownership of this site has no respect for this site, why should I contribute and try and make this a place of interest for casual browsers?

I'll just go where there is actual grass and more than five people to engage with.

If you're happy for him to moderate whilst showing flagrant disregard for the rules, constant ad hominem attacks and an inability to argue at all and instead rely on deflection staying here is pointless. This website has no future. The quality of it will erode until there is nothing left.

And I will not invest time and energy watching that happen.

I will go engage with the youth of the nation.

Spatchcock wrote on Apr 29^th, 2019 at 9:55pm:


Then Moderate!
Put your hand up!
Don't lurk there in the shadows, yelling from the back wall.
Walk the walk to the front stage and talk the talk.

*watches Spatchcock walk away

*Spatchcock leaves the Computer, walks to her bathroom mirror and says "I could have been someone, I could have been a Contender."

(Raging Bull)

Spatchcock tries to draw blood from a stone with Brian Ross.
Barnacle and Longweekend are similar to Ross.
She needs to just put aside her fear of Brian banning her for 'nothing', if he becomes Mod.
She has capitulated before he has even taken the job. 

Very 'weak minded' don't you think?

I am surprised vic isnt nominating!..

Well Eurovision 'unites' Europe better than what Politics and Military and even Religion is struggling to achieve.
Even the World is starting to take notice of Europe as the Music Super Power of the World.

Now run along dear because you chucked a tantrum over Brian Ross. Jeez.
You know - you would be a better Member if you just 'moved on' in the right way and just 'ignored' the flaw in him and not 'react' so obsessionally.
F*uck. Otherwise every member on this Forum would have run away like a chicken just because of Aussie. 

*Although being a woman, Spatchcock is slapped across the face by (Medical, not Military) JaSin with the words to HTFU!

Oh do tell.

This reminds me of some drunk drugged Darwinist from University who stood 2 storeys up during a Rave among us 'stoopid' people (who never went to Uni) and threatened to commit suicide by jumping to his death.
We all shouted and cheered "Jump! Jump! Jump!"
And he did. Splat!
We cheered louder and turned up the music and partied on.

Captain Nemo wrote on May 2^nd, 2019 at 9:12am:


Why are you using this against me?

I said I DO not want to be moderator of your forum and even voted for Brian Ross.

At the beginning I was leading the vote count until I said I will not accept the position.

Redmond Neck wrote on Apr 28^th, 2019 at 9:00am:


Redneck is expressing a desire for more bigots and racists on Ozpolitic?

Ozpolitic needs more bigots and racists? Really? It would probably provoke cannibalism among Ozpolitic bigots and racists who tear each other apart to prove themselves the biggest bigot and the most racist racist.

LOL

depends if you take the first sentence as the thing to be in need.

A lot like the odd punctuation / missing punctuation dilemma?

e.g

"Don't let hard housework kill your wife, let electricity do it!"

Spatchcock wrote on May 2^nd, 2019 at 9:41am:




That's quite a claim! 


I reckon your whinging is just showing us all that there is a reverse psychology to hearing someone whinge.

A bit like Pauline Hanson?



The more she whinges, the more people turn off her. That sort of thing.

I'm retired. 

Man. That singer was so bad and boring of personality that I reckon she was one of those "Sleep with me and I'll make you a star!" chicks that Rock Stars picked up often. Tarantino did it with Uma Thurman - so why not Paul McCartney?

At least nobody is going to accuse you of having taste in music or any respect for past era's. She did have a No1 hit with those were the days in the UK and no 2 in the US, Played a lot in Australia for years.

Brian Ross wrote on May 2^nd, 2019 at 11:27pm:


I'm gonna spend your tax dollars on beer and printing instead of spending my time here if you become moderator. It will also give my directionless life some purpose.

13 > 0 in favour of Brian vs Spatchcock.

Just answering Cod's question about the current state of the vote.

(Your name is still on the poll, even though you say you have withdrawn from the ballot.)

Perhaps Vic should call the result now?
