...traffic stats...

According to Alexa, the little bandwagon where you derive the majority of your self-worth has lost 28% Bounce Rate, 15.11% Daily Pageviews/Visitor, and 26% Daily Time on Site over the last 6 months. This in addition to a decline in Global Rank by 4,196 places over the last month. Moreover, your SEO has declined precipitously, with a 38% reduction in Search Engine Visits.

Whatever will we do?

Maybe the site will close.

The world will turn.

I'd rather Galaxian than The_Metatroll.

Thank you Gallstones. I also prefer you & Galaxian. Better have prickly honesty than mealy-mouthed dishonesty

And all because of their punitive reactionary head-kicking mods & admins. Hence I suspect it's to push the party line

What the both of you can't seem to get your minds around is that you have no expectation of right to babble on any privately run forum. You don't have to like it, but that's just how it is.

You had a choice, galaxian, of posting within the established rules, and chose not to do so. Many times. You made your goddamned bed, lie in it. Take some responsibility for your own actions for a change instead of running to hide behind your accusations of oppression. You think you possess some truth that no one but you knows? Where's your web site where we can learn all about it? Or, ignore it for the abject paranoia it is, at our discretion.

We both know how that would turn out. Oh, I can hear you now: "The man is controlling the internets so no one is reading my shit!"

You're a dime a dozen. Conspiracy theorists abound. You've never once shown why your conspiracy theories are any more worthy than any other crackpot's conspiracy theories. But, we all know why that is, don't we? It's what drives the conspiracy theorist. Ever notice how it's always the conspiracy theorist who claims to be the sole possessor of The Truth, and how they alone stand heroically to save the rest of the world?

Could be that the staff here takes issue with what I've just written. Could follow that they tell me about it. Fine. I made the post, I'll live with the results of it.

Galaxian was banned because he has been through the whole 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, 1 year suspension cycle twice now, and still is posting inflammatory and trolling comments. The mod team decided that it wasn't worth a third go around.

Oh, you mean he didn't chant the leftist party line and "reeducation" didn't shut him up so they performed the internet equivalent of Stalin's ultimate solution: They liquidated him. I'm sure if they had the power they would have actually physically shipped him off to a gulag somewhere, because that's the kind of mindless, intolerant, bigoted, socialist motherfuckers they are.

And intolerant socialist fuckwits are a penny a gross over at Ratskep.

This is somehow worse than an intolerant libertarian fuckwit?

Sauce for the goose.

Your yammering about socialism is a crackup, always has been. Oh, you like your socialism just fine, when it gives you what you want. How far did you drive today, Seth? How much of that distance was on roads you personally paved or graded?

Full of shit. That's what it's called, Seth. Full of shit. What your babbling lacks is internal consistency.

[Seth]

Much worse. Libertarians don't ban people who disagree with them, they engage them in debate and let the chips fall where they may and don't act like three year old children when somebody says something that upsets them.

Sauce for the goose.

I took a gander at that and found it intellectually lacking.

Your yammering about socialism is a crackup, always has been. Oh, you like your socialism just fine, when it gives you what you want. How far did you drive today, Seth? How much of that distance was on roads you personally paved or graded?

I pay taxes for those roads, so I'm entitled to use them. I would prefer not to pay taxes and instead pay the person who builds and maintains the road for what specific use I make of his road, because that way I'm not paying for a bunch of socialist welfare leeches to use the roads without paying for them.

We sort of have one of those here, it's called "E-470" and it's a toll road that goes around Denver. Now, it was built with taxpayer money, which is unfortunate, but it's been bought by a private company (European as I recall) who now manage and collect the tolls and maintain the road without any taxpayer money. This is great, because when I need to bypass downtown Denver traffic to go north, or to go to the airport quickly, I get to decide if it's worth the $15 it costs me to use the toll road to avoid the overcrowded taxpayer-funded I-25.

If I-25 were likewise sold (and the money refunded to the taxpayers) to a private company, I would get to decide which of the routes provides the best balance of convenience and cost for those trips I have to make through Denver, and only those trips.

As it stands, I pay for millions of miles of highways I will never, ever use and don't give a damn about. Why should I pay for highways I don't use? Why should anyone?

Full of shit. That's what it's called, Seth. Full of shit. What your babbling lacks is internal consistency.

Except, as usual, you're wrong.

[The_Metatron]

It's socialized, Seth. Everyone paid for the roads you use. Just one example of many. Like I said, you like socialism just fine when it gives you what you want.

Full of shit.

"...babble on...privately run forum"? I posted nothing but logical & verifiable arguments. And in case you've forgotten, that forum pretended to be "RationalSkepticism". In other words; to challenge the official mantra... look up the word "skepticism" instead of accusing those who question of being "conspiracy theorists". & BTW my posts since returning had no breach of the FUA, that's why there was no mod notice with explanation placed on the thread. That's why the ban was done secretly.

Only the naive or complicit deny that RatSkep follows 2 sets of FUA; one for government shills, another for skeptics

Good description of official conspiracy vomit spewing out of your masters at the White House, NSA, CIA, FBI, etc.

Touche! Perfect retort. But don't write that at RatSkep, else they'll ban you! ... Oh, they already have...

My, my, my. What's wrong, don't you like me dissing Ratskep? Too fucking bad. The dipshits over there deserve anything bad anyone wants to say about them. They made their beds, now they can lie in them. Narrow-minded bigots.

Galaxian was banned because he has been through the whole 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, 1 year suspension cycle twice now, and still is posting inflammatory and trolling comments. The mod team decided that it wasn't worth a third go around.

Oh, you mean he didn't chant the leftist party line and "reeducation" didn't shut him up so they performed the internet equivalent of Stalin's ultimate solution: They liquidated him. I'm sure if they had the power they would have actually physically shipped him off to a gulag somewhere, because that's the kind of mindless, intolerant, bigoted, socialist motherfuckers they are.

It may yet come to that. May yet come to that (the internment). Welcome to the new Bolshevik Red Terror

About 3 years of suspensions. Only thing missing was water-boarding & public stoning...but give it time

[Animavore]

There's quite a bit of argument over Galaxian's banning. More so than the last couple. There may be a schism yet.

RatSkep is turning into a monoculture. The constipated have taken over the asylum, and so they hand out punishments, such as suspensions & banning, to those who have normal bowel movements. Thus the anally retentive proliferate... a classic positive feedback loop.
Such monocultures aren't robust & suffer total collapse soon as an infectious agent causing diarrhea strikes

I second that!
