A quick word on "Overwhelmingly Negative Influences"
RE: A quick word on "Overwhelmingly Negative Influences"
The point of being online, first and foremost, is to grow a backbone.

I would be rich the number of times had I heard this repeated to me.

The entire point of being online is that it has no direct relation to one's real life offline unless one wishes to provide that information.

The entire point of being online is to escape real life.

It's not my place, the community owns it and the community moderates it. I don't get veto power over anything.

If the community agree with you, then I'd expect to see more of that agreement being voiced, but quite honestly I don't see that. I see a minority trying to pressure staff into banning "undesirables".

You don't own it? You don't collect the donations? You don't pay the bills?

You're being obtuse, Thump.

Did I type too fast?

Feel free to actually answer ... or feel free to continue shitposting.

Your choice will reflect upon you.

No, I'm not. He who pays the bills calls the shots.

Ugh, you're being willfully obtuse. He technically owns it. That means nothing in practice here. He has no additional powers over admins. He could I guess just stop paying the bills and give y'all the finger, but that has nothing to do with this situation.
