Know Thyself

I will try. I have another two weeks left of my summer job, which means I have approximately 80 hours left of trying to entertain myself on the internet. Perhaps that forum will help, perhaps not. Either way, when classes start up for me next month, I’ll probably all but disappear from both forums.

Well, after a short while, I’m sad to have to resign from KT (only figuratively: I’ll probably still keep a username and post there when it suits me). There is little philosophy to be discussed, many petty insults, and even more laughably overt ressentiment. More: The Joker has recently taken to unloading his terrible load of nonsense upon the humble forum, rendering it little more than a blog of his; the rest of the users are quickly eclipsed by his curious ability to homelessly type post after post. That said, however, I do believe some of the posters to be capable of productive thought. Satyr, no doubt, being one of them. Though he has little interest in filtering from his posts what I’ve mentioned plagues the forum, and so his ideas are hard to take seriously.

Anyway, it was worth a try.

Lol, I know, right? The funny (though quickly annoying) thing is that they think they have something new in pursuing the above - and they’re so damn proud of it. It’s a little hovel for the pathetic to huddle together to stroke each others’ damaged egos, and slither over anyone who dares remind them of reality. How creative, yes?
TJ fits right in, just another guy who is filled with resentment, the compulsion to insult, with nothing intellectual to share - I’m pleased he’s moved on. You’re right about his viral tendency to turn forums he regulars into his own personal blog.
I find I rarely have the patience to wade through Mr. Saturnine’s posts, just to get to some kind of philosophy - I usually just don’t read him.

It amuses me how you’ve come to exactly the same conclusions as I in just as short a time :laughing:

The only place a person can speak unadulterated without censorship or political correctness.

This is where philosophy meets reality.

Come down to the Know Thyself Forum:

knowthyself.forumotion.net/

There are forums out there without moderators, period, unlike Know Thyself. And then there are forums where people do not systematically confuse the ad hom with a workable argument. There is a reality there, of course. A reality one can find in corporate america, for example, where people work to undermine each other, put them in their place, all the time. And then some ‘workers’ try to make it clear to the ‘boss’ that they respect the boss and they attack anyone the boss does not seem respected enough by. They also end up speaking and writing in ways the boss does, to demonstrate to the boss that they have the right stuff. Sure, this is real. This kind of community does exist out there, and usually the members think that they are realists and everyone lives like that but lies to themselves about it. But they are wrong and you can see how deeply hurt some of them are that their greatness is not acknowledged, for all their proclamations of superiority, they are always peeking to see if finally the ticker tape parade for them has been set in motion and end up gnashing their teeth and complaining just like the victims they claim they are uniquely not.

Notice how you are really treated there.

You complained about how women treated you badly.

Know Thyself is your new girlfriend.

It doesn’t have to be like that.

EDIT: I think it is very strange you don’t see that Know Thyself has its own political correctness. And a very rigid one. Political correctness is not about this or that specific content it is about form and rigidity and punishing thoughs and language and actions that are cosidered wrong. Conservatives in the US also complain about political correctness, never having noticed that they have their own version of it.

I’m done, this site is just a decadent misogynist whorehouse of philosophy.

“this site” as in ILP or KT?

KT

Anything more specific, out of curiosity?

I felt dirty just being there

Do you feel “cleaner” here? If you roll around in pigshit, with a Manimal, can you expect not to get dirty?

But you didn’t answer my question. What specifically caused you to be done with KT? Why is it dirty there? What is decadent there, what is misogynistic, what exactly is being prostituted?

Nothing. I think it was a metaphor to elaborate on how grimy he felt after looking in his toilet bowl before he flushed. #-o

Perhaps he saw himself looking back… perhaps the dirt he feels is a squandered potential that elsewhere did not find fertile ground upon which to thrive.

I saw myself 10 years ago, that is where I want to leave it.

This supposed “knowthyself” forum is a joke. They have issues with banning people and deleting responses haphazardly.

This website, ilovephilosophy, is much much better. The administrator and moderator staff of “KT” is out of control. It’s a pretty horrid place for philosophy, if anybody wants my opinion on this.

It’s dirty and worthless there, because somebody keeps editing and deleting responses. What’s up with that?

At least on this forum, there are policies and standards. On your forum, moderators and administrators are free to silence any critic. And it’s not too difficult to see where the limits are. It doesn’t take much to get banished from KT.

Ru, you are an irredeemable manchild who is still hurting over Natalie rejecting you a year ago.

She banned you, she was disciplined. You are still a fucktard, however. That cannot be helped.

So, are you admitting that your website is shit or what? It is.

And it is worth this mentioning to everybody on this website, here. Don’t be angry at me for exposing your very public, and humiliating embarrassment. If you want to make a “philosophy” website, then try to be more open minded. And be careful who you let moderate and administrate. Emotional people are unpredictable. Like you.

RU, no-one I have ever seen has exposed themselves as willingly and ignorantly as you have.

I’m glad you don’t feel the need to defend yourself or your forum. It shows the true nature of it, doesn’t it?

You don’t know the difference between what is true, false, and lie. You are no different than anybody you detest and envy to pity.

You want to kick the crutches out? What about the ones you stand on? You’ve got nothing. Next time, don’t let a woman do a man’s job. You’ve learned a valuable lesson, about responsibility. What a joke your forum is. It’s no different whatsoever, except maybe the color scheme and the virgin administrator. I hope you learn how to conduct a forum, in time. Until that time comes, your forum offers nothing of interest, except the same category of censorship anybody can find, anywhere. Hands off the goods. You’ll know what I mean.
