The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.
-- Friedrich Nietzsche
And how about quoting for everyone where I CLEARLY wrote in that thread:
I outright admit I did what I did to prove a point and clarified what I was doing to EVERYONE who might read the thread.Look, dumbass, YOU made statements that I DID NOT make by first stating "So what you're saying is..." - which is a shit tactic to use when debating, to just outright make something up that your opponent never said - even if you were "only to trying to clarify my position" which was total horseshit. I came back at you and did the same to you in return, but a little harsher. And it appears you don't like having words put in your mouth and now you want to make demands.
Tough shit. Debate honestly and don't do shit to other people that you don't want coming back to bite you in the ass.
You just outright lie and stick to it, well, like a LIAR

CARBONDALE -- There is a bit of controversy surrounding the sounds coming from the SIU clock tower. This time of year, the Pulliam Hall clock is known for playing Christmas music every hour. But the music has been off the past few days.
Westminster Quarters is all that you hear on the SIU Campus. That is after university leaders decided to pull the plug on playing Christmas music from the clock tower.
"People said they liked the music, but they thought it should include other kinds of music rather than the Christmas music that was playing," SIU Spokesperson Rod Sievers said.
"If it was Jingle Bells or White Christmas or something like that, I think it would be a lot more respectful," said Christine Stowell, an SIU Master's student.
Thoughts about silencing the Christmas music were mixed on campus Thursday night. John Ferguson lives just north of the clock tower.
"I walk my dogs a lot, so it is very nice to hear in the winter time when you are walking by," Ferguson said.
Beth Freeburg gets to hear the chimes as she works. Her office is just below the clock tower.
"I think it's just a wonderful, inspirational thing that adds to the specialness of our signature building," Freeburg said.
Sievers says the bells will ring again, and soon.
"We'll begin with a mix of non-religious music while our people work with folks over at the School of Music to get an appropriate mix of music from all faiths and traditions," Sievers said.
"I just hope, whatever it's going to be, that it comes back right away," Freeburg said.
Sievers says the clock should resume playing music some time Friday. Holiday music will return soon after that.

How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

That article CLEARLY shows that it was a NOISE complaint as well. I know you don't see those words in there, and I know it specifically says the complaints were about the CONTENT, but we all know it was really just a noise complaint and you guys are behind these articles and just want it to "seem" as if people are complaining about "Christmas".
So all I have to say is:
Really?
Ok, if you say so

RSR posts:I'd say #3, but I would add, the xmas holiday has gone completly over the top in the last 10 to 15 years. We've got a radio station in our town that plays nothing but xmas music from Thanksgiving till xmas day, gets tiring. Further more, xmas is emotionally draining on many people, and winter can be money tight, so it gets a little hard to smile all the time, and be in good cheer.That leaves only three options: 1) keep the generic non-holiday chimes that sound year round, 2) go with only holiday neutral songs, or 3) incorporate music from other religious holidays of the season.
If ya can't prove it, don't say it.
Bikes, babes, and beer, it don't get no better than that.

I had a member contact me privately and want to know whether or not I mess with others accounts here, and why Pagan received a rep from me but the thread it pointed to was listed as "N/A"
The answer is NO, and I will PROVE IT, but let me first explain...
First off, why would I "mess with" someone's account to remove rep from fake threads if I can simply pick any post from a member and accomplish the same thing? It makes ZERO sense to do so. But here's what happens when you rep someone - it places a message in their UserCP telling them they received a new rep. It tells you who it is from, the point totals, and then gives a link to the post in question that they repped you for.
Now, what happens if someone reps on a post - and that post is later deleted by staff? Your rep points remain the same, you get the + or - that they left - but since it can't link to a post that no longer exists, it puts "N/A" in its place.
There is my written explanation, and now I will prove it visually...
I have decided to use Noir as an example, with a post that was harmless, just as a "test"...
First I went to this thread - http://www.debatepolicy.com/showthre...ion-and-RIGHTS
Noir made a post at 5pm last night, and here it is/was:
noir_post.jpg
I went and left him a +rep on this post:
rep_test.jpg
Now if you go to this thread, and read chronologically, you'll see that Noir's post from 5pm last nite has since been deleted.
I am going to ask Noir to tell us what he now sees in his rep column when he next logs in. We'll see if Pagan is telling what he believes to be the truth, that I fucked with his account, or that he is naive and just doesn't understand what happened.
