The Butcher from Nevada a.k.a. Frank the Zappar

Frank doesn't need a forum; he needs a blog. Then folks can offer comments on his content and he can keep the ones which please him and DEL the rest.

Frank.

Please chill. I mean, I sympathize, but c'mon. There is a place for what you want, but for whatever his reasons, Jonathan has chosen not to make this a Sunday School discussion group.

I'm not sure about the problems with extracting your site from TCV, but it seems to me that if you owe Jonathan and TCV so little, you could go do your own thing. There is technology out there, you could even password protect it so that you alone could screen your members. Noone will spend the energy to chase you down.

If, on the other hand, it losing the brand equity in your My Nevada Voice, or whatever it is (I know that's not what it is, but it makes more sense and has better consonance), then if you are right it's already gone and you need to start over anyway.

The internet is a miracle. From my point of view, content just magically appears. Noone has to be paid to do it. No government program required to assure equal access or fair and balanced content.

It's getting better every day. Jonathan may even come up with a solution in due time.

Here's another option. Leave MNV up and use it to learn to debate with the likes of Mike and Haywood. Only about 2% of the people will actually post, but so what. If your people cannot handle them, how on earth will they make it in real competition?

Leaving you with a final thought; our respective philosophical forefathers produced their beliefs with relatively little challenge and have had hundreds of years to create the philosophies that each of us emulate. That's a long time to build up the foundations of conflict and we are nearing the time when a minor conflict can competely eradicate humans from the earth. If there is hope for the world it is right here. If we can't resolve conflicts by talking, we are just postponing the inevitible.

It turns out that Frank is one of those desert jc folks continuing to wander around for 40 days in search of sinful posts.

But, like many jc folks who claim purer standards, he does not live up to his own expectations for others.

Yep, he's the typical churchgoer hypocrite with a tax deduction.

Crying? There's no crying the CV forum, Frank. And seldom any censorship. We enjoy this; that's the point. You are the one with the apparent problem.
But, even you have to admit it's a hypocritical point of view to engage in the sort of exchange you won't allow others'

Nope, it isn't hypocritical at all. My purpose is to give you guys better than you gave me...in spades. It is my hope that you will in the future read the headline articles on which you comment and see their source. Failing the ability to do that much cognitive reading, if it is about Nevada, please keep your thoughts to yourself.

Why, you may ask? Because you keep people in Nevada from wanting to post comments as they do not wish to be attacked. Can you please underztand that?

I declare a break...for myself. You can go on without me if you so desire.

It was me who wrote the article.
I did it because you are not moderate in your moderation.
And, I wanted those who were censored by you to be able to expess their true feelings about you.

What article did you write Mike? I'm not at all aware of you writing any article...only putrid comments to what someone else has written.

Actually Vic that's not true. No one that I've seen, posted anything even close to the kind of material he's posting. 90% of the posts of mine that he deleted were in the form of "Merry Christmas" or "Have a good afternoon Frank". There other ones were where I simply asked for an explanation as to why Mike was censored and then when I tried to get it through his thick skull that his threads on the forum page have nothing indicating they came from his site, that was deleted to. I'm not sure he was ever able to wrap his brain around that one.

Frank, are you capable of grasping the simple, delicious, O. Henry-esque irony in the fact that you are posting precisely the same sort of shoe scrapings that YOU would censor out of the MNN forum?

I don't miss that point at all Vic. I am glad to duke it out with you guys on your home turf and with the support of all of your homies. I would not allow the kind of posts that I have just written but the point is that here I can meet you on your own terms. So quit crying.

No, we simply don't get our undergarments in wads over dissenting opinion. We do not fear words. Jonathon has a much higher tolerance for lively debate. You need to investigate the difference between a forum and a blog.

Wrongo idjit: if I were the Grinch, I would only wish to steal your typing fingers and put them where they could type no more of your drivel.

What's the matter with you guys? Can't take your own medicine? Used to handing it out but just can't take it, eh?

Good work, there, Crank. Come to the SC forum and post the kinda stuff that gets you spraying spit and gnawing the upholstery when it's posted on your MNN forum. We are not ruled by fear out here, so your comments will not likely be censored. Have a ball.

Frank you're clearly not very bright, but actually Mike started the thread with his post, just as you started a similiar thread yesterday with a similiar post which you later removed. You are the liar my friend - and you're just kind of a weirdo too.

Since you deleted the following every other time I've posted it, I want to make sure you don't miss this comment again. Happy Holidays Frank. Merry Xmas Frank. Seasons Greetings Frank. Happy New Year Frank.

Now go get some help before you hurt yourself. You said yesterday you were thrilled not to have anyone from South Carolina posting on your forum so why are you here? This thread doesn't post to your lameass Nevada forum.

Frank care to prove any one of those allegations here in a thread you have no ability to censor? You're not actually saying you didn't post the article I mentioned are you? And what are you doing posting on the TCV site anyway? I thought you hated us and here you are posting.

Idjit: you have the cart before the horse. You made the accusation and I called you a liar. Where is your proof/ I am posting here for the very first time as someone alerted to me that you had started a new compost pile. I am well aware, just as you, that there is no moderation here. On my site, the only moderation that I can do is to edit your male bovine excrement.

But make no mistake: I really do like you...when you keep your fat mouth shut.
