Re "other assorted shenanigans" and "other places besides DU"
« on: May 23, 2012, 12:38:16 PM »
There might be some shenanigans on some message boards that describe themselves as supporting "Objectivism" (the philosophy of Ayn Rand).  Is that an acceptable topic for the DUmpster?

Run with it. It looks interesting, and I love the word "shenanigans".

From the rules for the DUmpster forum of CC.

It's subjective, but give it a try to see how it flies.

There's another forum here, "Mind-Numbing Stupidity," popular with members of conservativecave who aren't interested in DU, which is about one-third of the members here.

Generally, if it sounds DUish, even if not from DU, it stays here.

But if it doesn't quite parallel, it gets sent to the other forum.

It's a matter of taste, and I've rarely had to move them; maybe six times the past four and a half years.  It's not a big deal, nobody gets into trouble.

To get ready, I will need to do some research.  When I'm ready, I will give it a try. Thank you.

Suppose that the Pope quits and becomes a police officer in Germany.
   
Would that be immoral on the grounds that somebody else might need the police officer job, or okay on the grounds that somebody else would be getting the Pope job? Does it depend on who replaces the current Pope?

An example of his political discourse:

That was posted in a DU forum that has the label "Religion/Theology."  Isn't there a potential difference between political discourse and religious discourse? 

(Let's leave for another time a debate about whether or not a true Scotsman who is truly involved in a discourse on the topic of religion can make reference to the Pope in that discourse.) 

That discourse was a response to something on DU.  I had reason to believe that linking to what I was responding to would have provoked a locking of my thread on the grounds that the link would have been considered "calling out" under the rules that were then being enforced on DU.

It's true that I registered at CC while I was still a member in good standing of DU, but I believe that DU removed my posting privileges before I posted my first message on CC.  I believe that there were at least four weeks between the two events.

For now, I’m included in the “we” who discuss things here.  If you are troubled by that, then I am willing to hear you out.  However, as I am sure you know, the best kind of criticism, and often the only kind of criticism that is constructive, is specific criticism.  What specifically is bothering you?  If you prefer to not specify, then the best solution might be for you to put me on ignore.
