I think gator's shit-stirring slash-and-burn strategy to "liven up the site" and get new members has backfired bigtime this time. I don't think he expected that at all, pride goeth before a fall and all that.  Oh, well, you reap what you sow.  :-)  

His bluster about CU still being better and it will still come out on top, and he knew what he was doing, yaddayaddayaddablahblahblah, is getting pretty desperate and pathetic this time around.

BTW, there was a large Paultard rally in ND, only ninety miles from me, on Monday, with Dr. Tard himself showing up to rule the cult meeting. And there were several letters in the paper in his favor, one even said it would be "unpatriotic" to vote for anyone else.  :whatever:  Guess they haven't got the memo yet that he ain't exactly knocking down walls in the primaries.

Hey, wait a minute, I thought I was one of your chew toys!! I am an "Obamabozo". "O-bot", or "Obamababy", take your pick of the Hillbots' nickname-of-the-week for us.  :lmao:

One of them yesterday even called us "Obamessiah's", which almost cost me a keyboard thanks to spilled coffee.

That being said, I do think that the major reason CC is doing so well is because it's becoming its own site and not just focusing on being against CU.

Being against CU was never the "focus".  The "focus" was getting away from CU.  While concentrating on  that "focus", purposeful discussion occurs with CU being a natural subject (this thread included).

As cynical as I am and as bad as I think he would be for the country as regarding my own political beliefs, there is a part of me that would be celebrating if Obama got elected.  To go from Jim Crow (Which was almost in almost my lifetime) to a black man elected President would surely be something grand.

Yeah, that would be nice.  For about five seconds.

The Democratic Party has destroyed the black community in this country.  75% illegitimacy rate, 40% high school drop-out rate.  And they keep turning to the source of their problems for a solution.  And it's just not happening.

I think gator's shit-stirring slash-and-burn strategy to "liven up the site" and get new members has backfired bigtime this time.

Of course his tactic backfired. Did he really think he can rant like a madman and ban all dissenters and get away with it?

I've debated with gator since 2005 on several sites and I've noticed that his debating tactic is very simple: first he presents his opinions as facts (which is his idea of spreading "moral clarity") and accuses those who don't share his views of being ignorant. He starts to rant and insult others when people don't accept his views as facts. He hides behind his little rants (to avoid answering questions and addressing issues) and runs away when he runs out of insults. That's a coward's debating tactic. Gator bans those who disagree with what he says because he's afraid of dissenters. He resorts to insults and rants because he thinks it gives the illusion that he has character. His true character shows when he's cornered in a debate. Those who have debated with him know what he does when he's cornered. He runs away, like a coward.

I do think that the major reason CC is doing so well is because it's becoming its own site and not just focusing on being against CU.

That's true. A site that merely focuses on one thing is basically just a club, not a political discussion forum.

Overall, a political discussion forum that tolerates dissenters will be a successful site. Is there a site that has banned more people than CU? (No) That's why CU is dying and this site is booming.

To be fair to CU, I think you may have overlooked a site in your analysis.  Some obscure little site that goes by "DU" for short, IIRC.

Personally, I always found that 'Moral clarity' schtick to be one of the most irritatingly stupid things about CU.  Particularly as personified by Gator, it usually didn't have anything whatsoever to do with morality or clarity, just arrogance, ego, and an apparently-baseless feeling of superiority.

As far as the second part goes, I have never seen anything to indicate that Gator was actually capable of shame or embarassment...every time he laid a big steaming turd on the rug (which was frequently) he would loudly proclaim it was the morally correct thing to do and the rest of us simply lacked the moral clarity and sophisitcation to understand the 'plain-spoken native truth' of his act...whether it be for various bannings, his hatred of Israel, gratuitously insulting Kharis, his idiotic pot-stirring on the Civil War, or what-have-you.

It is an act.  The persona of gator is a big act.  I told everyone many times.  There isn't a genuine thing about it.  I even called it Street Theater.

oh yeah, SLW and SarasotaRepublican know him in real life... The whole thing is supposedly a big joke and they love him to death. Havent you seen SRs constant, "cant believe you guys keep falling for this!!  :-)" posts in every gator thread?

gator just likes to stir the pot and keep the infighting going, but who knows what he really believes at this point. he's a cartoon character to most of us.

It is an act.  The persona of gator is a big act.  I told everyone many times.  There isn't a genuine thing about it.  I even called it Street Theater. 

The point of it is it was out of hand.  Too out of hand.  It wasn't funny or amusing.  It was sick. 

It's an act when it's just an oddball member persona who never seems to get banned no matter how outrageous his posts get.  When it's someone with total admin powers who's doing it, it is no longer an act no matter what the original intent, it becomes the total character of the board.  And in CU's case, that character is currently FUBAR.

Is there a site that has banned more people than CU? (No) That's why CU is dying and this site is booming.   

To be fair to CU, I think you may have overlooked a site in your analysis.  Some obscure little site that goes by "DU" for short, IIRC.

You may be right, but you do understand the point I was trying to make? CU has banned a lot of people. A lot. Why? Simply because gator doesn't wanna hear dissenting opinions. That's not how discussion forums should be run...

I suspect gator is hiding, out of shame and embarassment for all that he wrought.

Gator is always hiding. In debates he hides behind insults and accusations (that's his way to avoid addressing issues and answering questions). He runs away when he's cornered. Now he's cornered and he knows it. The crap that he's been spewing for years has finally come back to bite him in the ass and he knows it. That's why he's hiding.

Personally, I always found that 'Moral clarity' schtick to be one of the most irritatingly stupid things about CU.  Particularly as personified by Gator, it usually didn't have anything whatsoever to do with morality or clarity, just arrogance, ego, and an apparently-baseless feeling of superiority.

As far as the second part goes, I have never seen anything to indicate that Gator was actually capable of shame or embarassment...every time he laid a big steaming turd on the rug (which was frequently) he would loudly proclaim it was the morally correct thing to do and the rest of us simply lacked the moral clarity and sophisitcation to understand the 'plain-spoken native truth' of his act...whether it be for various bannings, his hatred of Israel, gratuitously insulting Kharis, his idiotic pot-stirring on the Civil War, or what-have-you.

Gator's idea of "moral clarity" is utterly twisted. He presents his opinions as facts and accuses those who don't buy his idea of "truth" of being ignorant. That's pure arrogance.

gator is, was, and will always be, a dumb assed white power pushing redneck shithead. His brand or moral clarity is the moral clarity of stormfront, the KKK, and the aryan nation.

Allowing him mod powers simple paints the whole place as a trashheap.

gator is the one reason I never donated to CU and never will.

I still check in and post some but it's pretty dead.  About half Ronbots, a few Old Reliables keeping their hands in, and the same unbanned total assholes that convinced me to leave in the first place, plus of course S. Downings guerrilla war on Ron Paul continues.  Aside from their poor reasoningn skills in candidate selection, some of the Ronbots are actually civil people and more desirable discussion partners than the assholes like LogansPapa, Feebmaster, and a couple of other Non Paul trolls.  Hasn't been much sign of Gator for awhile though, at least in any of the forums I check.

We Finns like to drink. A lot. (I'm still trying to recover from what I drank on Saturday) If you come here in the summer you won't find a single person sober...

I don't know if there's animosity between Finns and Norwegians, but there is plenty of animosity between Finns and Swedes (but that's mostly playful animosity). We don't really hate them -- much...

Was Lauri your grandmother's first or last name (it's mostly used as a first name for males here in Finland, but there are people whose last name is Lauri)? I was wondering the name because Lauri is a very popular name here in Finland (Lauri Törni, for instance) but apparently it's a popular name elsewhere as well. You learn something new every day...
