  Simon, if you ever have issue with what I post, please just message me so it can be sorted out. TIA

  That's not how it works.

  I make a decision based on what I see, I don't have to inform you about it. If you can't figure out what wasn't acceptable then "tough-titties" - it's usually obvious and typically intentional, which is why I rarely get into protracted debates about what specific clause of what rule was or wasn't spelled out sufficiently in advance and contravened or not.

  Refer to the guidelines and posting rules, especially the part about if you think we made a wrong decision. It's all about principles, and hopefully people recognize the intent behind how the forum is run, and accept decisions - even if they may not fully agree with every call, they can see why it's impossible to constantly re-litigate every one ... and when people try to do that over multiple years, I start thinking they are just unhinged and become less inclined to waste time on them.

  And if the accusation is that my decisions aren't 100% perfect and consistent ... well, I never claimed to be Jesus.

  Why do JW apostates tend to be activists against the religion?

  j. arden writes.

  first of all an apostate is literally just someone who left.

  most jws are technically apostates from the religions they were raised in.

  It's a self-selecting population - the only people you tend to "know" are exJWs are vocal apostates, but the ones that aren't you don't know are exJWs

  My posting have always been on-topic

  No, it hasn't. You have previously hijacked topics to pursue a grudge, just as you're doing with this one, claiming that your account was deleted just for disagreeing with me, which is untrue.

  You can either accept it, or leave. What you don't get to do is constantly re-hash it. If you do, your account will be deleted, and in future you will no longer be tolerated at all but deleted on sight.

  If I could be bothered, I'd undelete your off-topic comments as proof (oh yes, they are still there), but I really have better things todo with my time than waste it trying to prove anything to someone who simply can't be reasoned with.

  I have also been censored this way. My opinion has not been approved. Let's see how I will be disciplined for this post.

  Tell me you don't know what censorship is without telling me you don't know what censorship is ...

  You were posting off-topic comments and being a dick. If you waste my time and misuse the forum features, don't expect to be allowed full use of it.

  You can take actions such as AM being replaced and them re-producing some videos as "proof" of practically anything, yet really it's not proof of anything unless you have some other specific proof. At that point it could become evidence of them covering something up to protect image before welfare, but without that proof all you have are allegations.

  It's really no different than accusing him of being an alcoholic because someone bumped into him while he was buying multiple bottles of liquor. Pure speculation with no basis, and lots of innocent explanations (plus common sense, do alcoholics "stock up" like that? wouldn't they drink it as they bought it?). Ultimately, this sort of thing doesn't make us look smart of balanced - it makes us look desperate and too willing to believe anything that matches biases.

  Accusations for crimes like this only count of they are made in court. A youtube video is proof of nothing. If someone genuinely has evidence they should get a lawyer and sue, and if they have evidence they will have people's full support I'm sure. But there are too many nutters about to go believing every accusation someone makes.

  So be careful of making claims ... all you can say is that someone has accused him of this, but not in the legal system as far as we know.

  re: Patreoff - please pick an exact UTC to base the winner decision on, and create a separate topic for it for each month

  It's incredible how stupid his patreons must be. He's literally telling them that he wasn't able to do any of the work he promised because he's been too busy ... with the work. Uh? How does that work? Can someone make it make sense?!

  The reality is that he's been too busy not working to do any of the things he promised for the money they promised him. If he had any sense of honor, he wouldn't take money without delivering. It's literally just a couple of hours "work" he has to do and he can't even be bothered to do that. He'll then spend the effort on making begging videos and captions for the feeble minded instead.

  And of course he has so little self-awareness, he can't help try to virtue signal by commenting on allegations against someone else, even though he's potentially guilty of the same crime.

  I'm sorry, there are very specific accents for different areas around Manchester, not all are perfect like mine (I can sound more "Oasis" if I want to) but Brummy? C'mon ... next thing you'll be claiming that Scousers are speaking English instead of whatever language they use.

  "Eh! Eh! Di doo doh don't dee doh?!" (if you know, you know)
