This post may very well get me banned but I really feel that I should be honest and upfront and state my opinion. If this honesty gets me in trouble then it will only accentuate all the more of any bias. When I first began posting here on fn I was warned that I would be banned for calling franklin by his old username here on fn, which is very strange imho. This was capt furillo that warned me, before they appointed dodge as the new moderator Josh125. I can't fathom that a poster could be banned for calling someone by their old username on the forum especially considering that I have been accused by franklin numerous times that I am smyrna, a man named Ken Mitchell that has a website about SC and lives in Louisianna. Smyrna has been accused of being Ken Mitchell several times by franklin and other posters here on fn.
I was also warned a few months ago that I would be banned just for making a joke about Josh125 being dodge, I was also sent a message that it undermines Josh125's authority. Yet dodge has since admitted that he was Josh125 on smyrna's blog.
Smyrna was banned for something he did not even do on fn. He left fn on his own because he felt there was an incredible amount of bias and he too knew that Josh125 was dodge. He created his blog in order to have the freedom of speech to convey his opinions concerning the issue. I agree that bias was occurring here on fn when Josh125 /dodge took over as moderator and declaring that he was a Methodist minister, which I did not believe from the very beginning. The posting style of Josh125 was exactly like dodge's posting style, only dodge posted in this style. Again dodge has admitted now that he was Josh125, therefore he deceptively lead the forum members to believe he was a Methodist minister and the admin on fn deceptively told the forum members that dodge was not going to moderate the forum that they picked someonw else.
Now we have a new moderator. I get the feeling that I know who the current moderator is but I will not mention this here on fn. I will leave it alone but I will say this, dodge stated that the new moderator is someone that has posted on fn for a few years and became bored and is no longer posting here. I do not believe this though, I feel that this person will probably do more than work behind the scenes. Although I feel that they will not be posting too much concerning the SC argument anymore. dodge stated that he has known this person for a long time, he also stated that smyrna would know this person. You can pretty much make the conclusion that there may very well be bias occurring again because I find it impossible to imagine a moderator on either side of the SC argument to not be bias because of their previous history of posting here. But then again, I may be totally wrong. Let us hope that I am, but time will tell.
I find the irony amazing though. You brought up the town of Inverness that I lived in for a brief time years ago, and am still living nearby. Apparently someone here on fn complained that it was their home town and the new Josh moderator has asked me if I know anything about this. I found it rather strange question because even if I did know about this, what does it have to do with me living in Inverness years ago and what was said? If truth be told it is a tiny little town that I hated when I lived there. I won't go into the details as to why but I tend to not like little tiny towns because of the mentality of those that live in them. Sorry that's just my honest opinion. There was a tremendous amount of bias and judgemental behavior that occurred when I lived there. lol There are other small towns that I had to endure that were the same way. Too many folks that are prejudice against noobie residents I guess and feel they need to get into everyone's business. I'm a very private person in my non cyber life, my real life that is. I do not engage in town gossip and what not. I stick to myself pretty much and I detest nosey neighbors.
At the same time, dodge recently made statements on smyrna's blog calling smyrna by a real name and pointing out that he works for "such and such" a company. Given the information that he posted, there is only one source that he could have gotten this from, and if it is who I think it is this makes the entire situation all the more hypocrtical and bizzare. Bizzare because it seems to be one side can do these things, either accusing a poster of being someone else or calling them out by what they think their real name is, but on the flip side if I call someone by their old username I get a warning from the admin and franklin flips out saying I called him by his real name and I am guilty of libel.
At the same time franklin has also done this to smyrna, sam and me numerous times as I mentioned above. Making accusations that all 3 of us are someone by the name of Ken Mitchell who has some website about SC and a poster named Joken that I have never even heard of that got banned on either cb or cbrc I guess. Of course franklin has also accused sam and I of being smyrna several times and vise versa. And now dodge has aquired some "false" information about smyrna from a poster that doesn't post here very much anymore and seems to have gotten bored.....
It is almost some sort of strange game. The bias that I saw coming from dodge when he moderated was the fact that he was still posting and attacking the posters beliefs, making fun of their beliefs and holidays and has used vulgarity in the past by posting a video titled "F___ Christmas" , but at the same time as a moderator banning others for what he deemed the same exact things. When I brought up the things franklin has done in the past, posting a pic of medusa with my name on it I was told that he could not do anything about this and to stick with the here and now. I was not asking that he do anything about it, I was mentioning it because I noticed that a lot of stuff was being brought up about what some posters have done and said in the past and it appeared they were being judged by these things now and these things were being used as a basis to go by on whether or not a poster should be banned and for how long. In other words, "I feel that you have long been a rude poster calling people this and that, so because of this and what you just currently did I am banning you for such and such a time". Yet the things other posters have done in the past did not seem to matter much. Just an observation, that's all.
I was also told in a private message by Josh125/dodge that he was tired of my crap and if I had a problem with him report it to the admin. I still have this message. And I was being told to wipe the slate clean of what folks have done in the past and just worry about the here and now.
So in conclusion the bias was based on those that dodge has had a good relationship with over the years verses the posters he has had issues with in the past and what he has done here on fn in the past. I noticed stage got away with quite a bit of name calling and snide comments toward me. Is this because she and doge have been friends for years and have had a good relationship?
Then there is sam, who has been banned for name calling, even though the ones he was answering had done the same thing. They insinuated he was a satanist, a practioner of black magic, and a dozen other things while he was banned. They attacked his taste in music, creating an entire thread about black metal which sam hardly even listens to just to lure him over to argue. Although the thread was deleted this person only got a warning. They accused me and sam of witchcraft, satanic blah blah. So what if I am a witch, I guess it depends on one's definition of what a witch is, but I assure you I do not nor does sam practice any type of black magic whatsoever. That is an outright lie and nothing has really been done about this.

Wow, she is getting some serious backlash now. They just don't want to face their reflection in the mirror. Then The hilarity and completely illogical rant from Dodge. About me logging into Shadowcat's account just to tell him off. Dodge, believe me when I say, don't fucking flatter yourself. You hardly worth the wasted effort. You think your so high and mighty, but you are worthless.
ReplyDeleteYou lay out all this "scientific shit" but ignore the agenda behind or their is another deeper meaning. That would be, for someone who preaches peace, love, and other hippy shit you are in reality a bigotted, low life, coniving, hypocritical asshole. That would not be surprising at all. It seems to be the liberal way that gets explained as psychological, sociological, or whatever scientific term becomes their flavor of the month.
Nice dodge Dodge on those pieces of shit you posted. Yet you have the balls to question anything about SC. Well I guess it would take a racist, sexist pig to attempt to "identify" another. But ignoring the problem doesn't make it go away, it is you who has to stand up and look in the mirror and stare down that balding, grumpy ass, mentally impaired, image of yourself. All I have to say is, I am thankful that there is no video blogging on factnet. I guarantee you that every other person would be reaching for their barf bags within 1 minute of looking at the horror.
One last thing, you may want to clean up your lip a bit. It looks like you have spooge still there from your last outing at the Blue Oyster Bar.
LMAO! If you ask me, Sam, Cat has the upper hand because she told the truth. By the way, she brought up a good point, because I was banned from FactNet because of something that I not only said here, but it had to be lied about for them to ban me. They said it was because of "threats" and "about a 1/2 dozed other reasons" here is the notice, from my article, "The Exclusive Club":
ReplyDelete"You have been banned for the following reason:
Threats towards FACTNet and a 1/2 dozen more reasons
Date the ban will be lifted: 04-02-2013, 12:00 PM"
How much you want to bet that not only are those reasons non-existent, once they would be made up, those rules they talk about all the time would have to be "modified", (no, screw that, the word is "spun") somehow to create, rather than point out, any violations of forum rules.
What a joke. Those clowns ban me for something I say on my own blog, they lied and say they were "threats" and if you ask me, the best thing that can happen is for Cat to be banned,because then she can become a new member of our club!
FactNet, and not us, have turned being banned there into a badge of honor. Who in their right mind wants to be censored for stating their own opinions? That's all I ever did here, and will continue to do. So you see, they have already spun their rules. Now you can get banned from FactNet for using "abusive ad hominem" or whatever they want to call it, on a site other than their own!
It's not the first time amazingly, that I was banned from FactNet for doing something on another website. I'll make that the topic of my next article.
And more today...

I think one of the problems is some have gotten a free pass to break the rules while others are either warned or banned quite quickly. In other words bias.
The major rules have been broken by dodge, and apparently with fn permission....
From fn General Rules section
Your Conduct on our Discussion Board
You agree that we reserve the right to ban anyone who willfully violates these or any other of our website rules.
You explicitly agree, in using this web site or any service provided, that you shall not:
- impersonate or misrepresent your association with any person or entity, or forge or otherwise seek to conceal or misrepresent the origin of any Content provided by you. collect or harvest any data about other users.
- create multiple accounts. Users who might be trying to pull this trick risk having their membership on this website revoked. defraud or deceive our members. This may result in your account being suspended.
By lying about not being the moderator and lying about being a Methodist minister, and by using 2 different user names on fn dodge has repeatedly broken the backbone of the rules of fn message boards.
Also when smyrna asked oneway if he was drinking while he made a post that didn't make any sense to him oneway did not even go to the mod or admin and complain, someone else did apparently, smyrna was not warned he was banned.
While smyrna was banned others on fn were going at it pretty heavily calling each other out and breaking the rules and nothing was even said about it.
Stage this is not meant to be a personal asault on you, this is only an observation. You suggested that I was hypnotized or that I had a traumatic brain injury because I feel that Murray and his students should be allowed to believe whatever they want not too mention that in reality the whole serpent seed doctrine is from Jewish literature and texts to begin with.
Then dodge has alluded that I have a mental health issue on several occasions when I say something he doesn't like. He suggested that I need anger management before I physically harm someone in my family. Has told me repeatedly that my behavior will not be tolerated and told me I should leave the forum. He has never gotten a warning. One of his posts was edited and that was just recently with the new moderator.
Then there is franklin's non-stop over the top posts that SC and Murray as the leader is a full blown white supremacist group. And of course his complaints that he has been libeled because I called him by his old username on fn. Yet dodge just came over to smyrna's blog and called him by a name and stated where he works (or so he thinks) and jabbing about investments. Posting personal information that he as moderator here was so against. The information came from stage apparently, who is also a moderator of a forum and is against people posting personal information about others.
I think some feel betrayed that fn would allow dodge, who is an atheist and has really done nothing but come here to ridicule and debate with Christians, be allowed to moderate the Christian forums. From the beginning they voiced that the didn't feel this was right but it occurred anyway and in a deceptive way to boot.
Just sounds like a lot of bias and hypocrisy that's all.

Hey truth is truth. I'm sorry if they can't see it. Now I will probably be the next one to be banned, for posting here.
