I have no idea if anyone else has commented on this or not, but I for one am pleasantly surprised to see the group of you coming over. It appears that Agnapostate is at least partially responsible for the influx of new members and that is very cool if you ask me.

While I may or may not agree with your politics, after reading the Refugees Group discussions I can see that some of you appear to be active in discussing politics and seem to care about being able to do so intelligently and without heavy handed and biased moderation. I can appreciate that.

I hope we have productive interaction on the forum. I'm sort of a dick at times, but I can't help it. I have a huge head.

:mrgreen:

Welcome to DP!
 
Too bad we can't invite them to the Tavern just yet, eh?

I think this was pretty good timing, some of our regulars seem to have left, and the regulars that are still here are not so regular anymore.

So I say welcome too! :2wave:
 
I am looking forward to good political discussion. The failure of Pf is in the heavy hand of the mods on the right of the spectrum.

There are a lot of good posters coming this way we are still getting the word out to many that we are trying to find. Thanks for the nice welcome.
 
Jump in! The water's fine!

A big welcome to all newcomers! :2wave:

Our mods are anything but heavy handed. If anything they are quite tolerant and even handed. Sometimes too tolerant if you ask me. But then again that tolerance may have saved me a temp suspension a time or two. :mrgreen:

The mods have just jumped off the deep end over there. The left leaning posters are getting knocked around pretty good. If you aren't carrying your neocon card you are in hot water over there at PF.

When I was there, it was pretty balanced but that was a long time ago. My issue, and the reason I left, was due to the acceptance of racism at PF.
 
Thank you for the welcome, it's very pleasant:)

Ah, if only that were true. Unfortunately, the corruption of a few PF moderators and the apathy of the rest is what's truly responsible for the influx. :(

Bah...we're on to happier times now! I'm still in agreement with what Captain (I think), said a few months ago about this being the most intelligent political discussion forum on the Web, and I'll be doing my best to invite more people to come along. :)

I sent out more invites today. It seems to be working more have come. These are all people that are unhappy there. A few who are happy have come along that i can't understand. But hey we take what we can get.
 
I actually tagged y'all "refugees" prior to you starting the social group. Where are my royalties? :mrgreen:

Seriously, very happy to have y'all here. I've been looking around over at PF, a bit. I think you will find DP to be a little different.

Ah, but I started the social group at ArgueWithEveryone first! :2razz:

I think they'll assimilate well. I haven't (legally :lol:) been at PF since last year, so the atmosphere may have changed somewhat, but many there have a genuine interest in thorough political discussion, and DP has a rather outstanding ability to facilitate that.

I got banned like, my first month here. Hehe, that was fun.:mrgreen:
 
I still find it interesting that I've never been banned or even infracted here despite my alleged inability to refrain from engaging in personal attacks. I suppose that's just another routine contradiction of the deceptions of the PF mods, unfortunately.

I've read a lot of your posts, and have debated you once or twice. Your positions are a little "out there" but there's nothing infractable or bannable about them or, thus far, the way you post.

At DP, the moderation team does not infract based on position. Personal attacks will get you consequences, but not what you believe, as long as it does not violated any of the forum rules.

As an aside, since a lot of the "Refugees" from PF have posted on this thread, here is a link to DP Forum rules:

If anything, I'd like to see Scucca (who posts at PF with the username "Reiver"), return here. He had an impressive ability to tear apart economically ignorant anti-socialists.

:lol:


Not really, he simply repeated the same nonsense over and over again, no matter if the thread was an economic one, or the "what did you have for dinner again".... "empirical data", and claiming that one had to subscribe to $350 a year annual subscription site to see his supposed evidence...


meh, I don't miss him. :lol:
 
I don't see how that would be. The main thrust of any empirical piece is always summarized in a free abstract. But I'll still try and fill his shoes for you if I can through a similar reliance on empirical evidence to illustrate the inefficiency of capitalist economic structure. Ethereal thinks I'm doing a good job! :)

:lol: just don't send me to pay sites, especially ones that costs hundereds of dollar. ;)
 
To all who have gravitated here from PF...
