Invitation - Nay, Exhortation to Post Content

gretavo's picture

Just want to encourage everyone to post away, and also to comment on and suggest changes to this site's format, features, etc. If the interface lets you do it, you should feel free. A new poll, anyone? Go for it!

The beauty of this Drupal platform is that there are a million things you can tinker with--see for example the list of Drupal modules on Drupal's website and if you see something you think might make this site better just say so. Do people want to be able to rate comments like we did on blogger? I haven't found the exact module yet but I'll keep looking...

Finally I just want to say that out of principle I intend to fund this site myself, so no ads will ever appear and no appeals will be made for cash. If you have spare cash and want to help the movement, buy flyers, bumper stickers, books, etc. and get them out there! If by some miracle we become mega popular and the bandwidth costs become excessive, then I'll encourage people to branch out to other sites/create their own, etc.

Centralization is bad--let a thousand bloggers bloom!

Comment Moderation?

Maybe you should be the comment moderator like Reprehensor of 911blogger.com. It seems to be very popular with the truthers.

sarcasm much?

nope

go ahead and say whatever you want--if it's crap, we'll figure out a way to deal with it. and anyone who feels that we've been unfair is free to leave and start their own forum. it's not censorship per se that is bad, it's biased censorship. if someone deides to post pictures of their morning bowel movement every day, they will be banned. i think reasonable people who aren't shills, i.e. not assholes PRETENDING to be reasonable people, can pretty well tell when they are being jerked around.

I think you are right

"i think reasonable people who aren't shills, i.e. not assholes PRETENDING to be reasonable people, can pretty well tell when they are being jerked around"

there goes my first blog entry

"if someone decides to post pictures of their morning bowel movement every day, they will be banned."
does an afternoon bm have the same standards applied?

gretavo's picture

ok so now everyone knows

why i had to specify that. and here i was trying to protect your reputation, larry... the answer is YES, pm bm's are also not OK!

My only suggestion is that a

My only suggestion is that a "home" button be added so that I can quickly get back to the "blog" home page. I get buried in the comments multiple pages down and can't get back easily. But other than that, I like all the features. I wouldn't add a rating feature yet either -- this site seems too new and friendly for that yet.

p.s. has anyone ever noticed how many obvious shills are named "john," "jon" or some permutation??

home button

the posse image as well as the blog title work to get back to the "front"if that helps...

i really wish that i could

i really wish that i could find all of the old threads from the howard stern message board, you would die laughing. ive spent like 3 years trying to figure gold out. i dont really know what to make of him. of course i have called him a shill many times on 911b.

when you guys call someone a shill, (lets say gold) does that mean that you think that they are paid by someone to spread disinfo, a paid shill????

Jpass's picture

good question

I usually think of blackmail myself.

i like when he claims that something made him cry

like an abandoned puppy or a child's broken doll... i almost can't help but want to hug him on those occasions. kind of like how if I ever meet Jason Bermas I'm not going to be able to resist pinching his cheeks while making googly sounds... alright, i'll stop there...

I think they may haf vayz of makink them shill

other than money. Seriously. Something akin to the Manchurian Candidate protocol sometimes seems like the best explanation for some of the shillery and ESPECIALLY some of the local activist dysfunction.

gretavo's picture

can you explain the manchurian candidate protocol

?

casseia's picture

Yes, if you understand I'm just half serious.

Here in the local 9/11 scene, the (relatively) normal and functional among us spend much time trying to understand the outrageous activities of the local 9/11 nutcases. They're way too dysfunctional to be getting a paycheck -- or at least that seems to be the consensus. It's made me wonder if they've developed ways to harness the crazy people sort of indirectly -- a la MK ULTRA. This is just wild speculation born of extreme frustration.

I do feel quite sure that whatever kind of shillery or disruption is going on is organized along lines very different from the COINTELPRO of yore. It seems like a no-brainer that disruption of this movement would be "outsourced," for example, and have no direct connection to any government intelligence agency. And as a matter of fact, there's a faulty premise underlying the work of certain autobiographical film-makers -- if the "perps" are not the government, but more like the rogue elements spanning the government/private border, then OF COURSE disruption is not going to trace back to the FBI or another spooky alphabet entity.

The bottom line is that I think it is possible or even probable that some shills, far from being on a payroll, don't even know they're shills.

gretavo's picture

i'm sure there's a broad taxonomy

BUT I think that it's very instructive to study Zionist grassroots efforts--they have a way of really producing some very avid ideologues from an early age... google Eric Trager AND HIPJ for example...

casseia is checking to see

what happens when annoymice post

gretavo's picture

did you feel the shock?

I wanna smell hair burning.

gretavo's picture

what are you plotting?

people should know that I convinced Casseia to let me allow anonymous posts - she seems very suspicious of them! I just thought that we didn't want to risk missing out on the comments of the truly paranoid...

casseia's picture

Naaah, I'm not suspicious

I just wondered if they were being approved prior to showing up. Evidently, here at the wtc blog it's just "anything goes" and "if it feels good do it." (Unless it involves video-faking aliens.)

gretavo's picture

we're easy that way...
