Basically here is what is happening:
There is a group of posters here who have found themselves correctly identified as being supporters of the fascist-socialist-communist state and they are correctly identified by their political views as being in the populist-totalitarian (socialist/fascist/communist) corner on the two dimensional political map.
These would-be "posting rulers" want to be seen as the uber intellectual elite and take their place of glory with those scum who constitute the ruling political class. They are confounded by and fearful of any challenge of their long-discredited, archaic world view. They are terrified of the upstarts who won't stay in their places.
Unable to win intellectually, seeing the hegemony of their leaders challenged and fearing the loss of their status as aspiring lickspittle factotums of the pond scum imperialist classes, this group has descended into whining about control of posting on the Current Events Forum at Dave's.
As posting here at Dave's represents the apex of their "skyrocketing" careers, so far, they feel they have earned the right to limit what others think important and impose their views (which cannot stand on their own) by enlisting the aid of the moderator-industrial complex.
So as to insure the dominance that their feeble minds and arguments cannot win for them, they seek to use the mods, the only "government" available to them at Dave's, to control the free thinking individuals who post here. Unable to compete intellectually, the totalitarian posting elitists seek to limit the posting of anyone challenging their authority by isloating them in "cyber ghettos," huge threads where thousands of topics are forced under one banner.
The intent of these grasping cyber dictators is to make it impossible for the forum participants to separate and discuss rationally the topics that lay bare for all to see, the evils of the ruling class.
By demonstrating their successful mastery of the tools of fascism, regulation, control and dominance, our aspiring lickspittle neofascist factotums hope to earn a few dribbles of praise, a bit of fiat currency pelf in payment and the chance to lick the dung off the shoes of some assistant to the assistant of the servant of the administrative assistant to the under assistant of some minor official in the administration of some Demopublican clone in some Bush/McClinton administration.
in other words...
Topics they agree with should have all the threads they want.
Topics they disagree with and cannot control nor defeat by insults should all be combined into one thread.
They are willing to use the mods to get what they cannot win on their own, just as they will use the government to steal for them what they cannot earn for themselves. |
Well that's an interesting theory, and clearly you have put some thought into it.
But as for me, topics that I agree with should NOT have all the threads they want. I pointed out the example of the Titan thread that Mithridates and I created last year, as an example of one topic-one thread. It was one that a few of us on the forum - not everyone - were interested in, and it was an example of how a thread topic can be more interesting and fun to discuss WHEN YOU STICK TO ONE THREAD PER TOPIC. |
You should put all of your threads on science, space exploration, research, science people, stem cell research, evolution, etc. under one thread.
Bad idea?
Of course.
But, that's the equivalent of what the whiners are advocating for the threads they don't like. |
I don't see that they are saying that. The impression I get is, that for the sake of consistency, they are advocating one topic-one thread, regardless of whether or not they are interested in the topic. |

Actually, I have a feeling that some members of this forum object to the concept of "one topic-one thread" because it would mean they would have to be more accountable for the things that they say here...
...and for some people, that is anathema.  |
