Is the site dying?? It breaks my heart, it's so quiet. So many of the regulars are inactive, I can hear a pin drop. Hell I called crouton names in AR and nothing, that's when you know things a broken.
Can't let the ship sink!!
We must ban together folks!
What happened? One need look no further than this, as an example:
https://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=92285.30Just take a look at the verbal abuse inflicted on the FE each and every day here.
I told spacecowgirl back in early 2020 that she will not have a forum anymore, she laughed at me. I tried to plead with crouton, this is what he said: "we have learned an important lesson today, the content of the debate is not the mods' business".
Would this kind of abuse be allowed over at forum.tfes? Not a chance. Would badastronomy and cosmoquest, on their own home turf, allow this? Not a chance.
What else can be expected if the admin and the RE mods are totally against the FES? How is it possible that a rabid, anti-FE, who had always derided FET right from his first message is hired by John Davis as a mod? Does it make any bloody sense?
How does John Davis expect his forum to flourish, if the admin he hired responds back with this: "that's debate". "That's debate" with daily verbal abuse, with every rule broken. No FE in his/her right mind would participate in this kind of madness.
rabinoz was posting a message every 18 minutes, destroying the FES in the process. Both scg and crouton did nothing about it. He tried to do the same thing at forum.tfes, where he was stopped immediately, and then he came back here for more destruction.
Take a look at the verbal abuse inflicted on the FE each and every day by jackblack. One wonders: where the are mods? Why then have any rules at all?
Why should any FE who would like to genuinely debate come here to be verbally abused like this? Why even bother?
Davis has inflicted a terrible punishment on the FES and generally on the FE by having hired the RE as admin/mods. The more Crouton pisses and shits on this forum the better for him. Imagine putting a declared enemy of the FES as a mod for how many years now. Or an admin who laughs and does nothing about the verbal abuse, and then she says that it is facebook and instagram who stole the audience. No. The FES was supposed to be a beacon of light during the past four years, but the RE admin/mods have made sure nothing like that would happen.
