I get the impression that these buildings are still in the process of collapsing. They might have a situation where any building taller than a few stories is now unsafe to use.
I think a near-universal definition of "crossing the line" should include a moderator claiming that Tourette's is causing them to say things like that. Don't you? And why should anyone need to look at my profile to see where I stand? Shouldn't one's arguments stand on their own merit? Are the people there so incapable of independent thought that the need to check to see if they are on the same FE/RE team as the person they are about to reply to? If not, then that mechanic doesn't really matter and might even be harmful to productive conversation.If there are any FES members that would like to check it out, join the server and just listen and make up your own mind.That's what I'm saying, though... I did join. And it left me wondering things. Things like these:
What's with the weird leveling system? Is it tied to how many times you post something? What's the point of it? Why is there a mod out there calling people derogatory names and then following it up with "uh, well, I have tourette's" as if that is an excuse? Why are new people being bombarded by mods demanding to know if you are FE or RE the moment they show up? Shouldn't that be something a person could opt into on their own?
I cant answer the leveling system, I find it weird myself. As for the insults, unfortunately its just the nature of the community. I am sure it happens here as well. Each side insults the other to some extent. As long as it doesn't cross the line, just deal with it. Unfortunately the definition of 'crossing the line' can be different for everyone. But its really difficult to root out the insults completely from both sides. It is what it is. Regarding the FE or RE, that is just for roles, so everyone can be assigned a role and if you do participate people can look at your profile and know where you stand without asking.

Well fine, I'll just set this swarm free to do as it will then and I'll get started propagandizing.
Mmmm, maybe try the propaganda.
You just got yourself a FES-themed balloon hat that looks like the AE projection resting atop a turtle's shellProposals for new membership to be approved by majority vote or discussion.

I think I have it, I am waiting to take a test (I ate breakfast and I need to wait 30 minutes or something). I took a test a few days ago and it was negative, and I thought I had a cold and a sinus infection, but my mom has also been sick and she just took another test and is positive. I guess we took the test too early to detect the virus.Good luck. Hopefully it goes quick. The latest variant that's been making the rounds seems to be doing a great job of getting people that had been avoiding it until now.
I am much sicker feeling this time, but that's probably because I got a sinus infection. I never had one of those before and I do not recommend it! So disgusting.
Well damn, the reptilians finally got him. This is sad news, to be sure.Lots of oldies coming back, by the looks of things. I wonder what that's all about?
Now we just need that guy Daniel to spare 2 minutes of his life to say g'day
I don't think he's ever coming back. He may not even be a Flat Earther anymore...A book review by a Daniel Shenton, from 'The Inquisitive Biologist":
BOOK REVIEW – WEIRD EARTH: DEBUNKING STRANGE IDEAS ABOUT OUR PLANET
In Weird Earth, Prothero debunks conspiracy theories and pseudoscience relating to our planet, making for an entertaining slaying of geological fringe ideas.
Appropriately, he starts with the currently best-known geological pseudoscience: flat-earthism, the idea that the earth is a flat disc rather than a globe.
I, personally, cannot disagree with anything he writes here and feel his frustration and pain while wading through this morass of scientific illiteracy, which is often brandished with a sense of pride and defiance.
A cult of personality, or a cult of the leader, is the result of an effort which is made to create an idealized and heroic image of a leader by a government, often through unquestioning flattery and praise.
Flat earth depends on cult of personality
