Will (apparently) needs regular psychological relief, or something.
Why do you say that? Clearly all of this drama and so on was explicitly intended. And I’ve remained calm the whole time. People close to me can attest that I’ve been psychologically healthy for the past many months. Do you think there are any clear indicators that I need psychological relief, other than that I’m explicitly trying to lose credibility? Do you think trying to lose credibility is always a strong sign of incorrect beliefs or psychological problems? If so, to what extent is that because it’s merely correlated with other, generally undesirable traits?
I was going to say about how I’m sorry, didn’t mean any insult, how I saw and heard some evidence for that judgment around here before… but ah, screw it, everyone can plainly see that I’m trying to act like an RPG hero, negotiating conflicts with the most authority and Deep Wisdom that his (my) dialogue options allow. ;)
I fully admit to being schizotypal by nature, leaning towards schizoaffective. So do take that into account. But I too have taken into account.
Interestingly, part of the definition of schizophrenia has been manipulated by intelligence agencies. Don’t take my word of course, look it up. If I recall specifically the parts about conspiracies at least. But I didn’t look closely into the issue. It’s not incredibly relevant.
You are being oppositional. Whether it is for reasons recreational, delusional, psychological, educational, or other is something I wonder about but do not know.
I have a friend who is bipolar (manic depressive.) I was around when he had a break that put him (voluntarily) in the psych ward taking drugs that risked doing permanent nerve damage and made his mind, he said, feel like scrambled eggs, just because he thought this gave him a better chance of ever ’coming back.”
I didn’t know where he was headed in the weeks before, even though his wife did. I thought SHE was crazy, until he went over the wall.
I doubt that is what is going on with you, but how would I know?
Whether it is or not, talk of banning you seems ludicrous to me.
Whether it is or not, your deliberately provoking the more fascist among us to talk of banning you seems ludicrous as well. Presumably you think you have a good reason to do this. I don’t know what your reason is, and it doesn’t matter whether I would agree that it is a good reason or not, I don’t consider blowing raspberry’s at people with fascist instincts should be a bannable “offense,” it should rather be well within the bounds of conversation. IMHO.
Mwengler, please stop throwing the word “fascist” around. Will_Newsome is a contributor to a website who has recently started to annoy the other contributors and arguably to lower the quality of the community. Open discussions are being had as to whether it would be best for the community to prevent him from causing further disturbance by means of a temporary or permanent ban. This is no more repressive than what any other website does. We’re not talking about banning “dissent” or “independence”, we’re talking about banning annoying comments with a high noise level. If you don’t support a ban, that’s fine, but please don’t make unwarranted comparisons to oppressive governments. They distort the facts and lower the tone of the conversation.

You need more paragon points before that will work.
Can it wait a little bit? I’m in the middle of some calibrations...
ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL OF THREAD. CHAOTIC ORGANIC ROLE PLAY WAS DEGRADING THE SIGNAL TO NOISE RATIO.
