just ban him its spam regardless

I think only @FaithJoy and Robert have moderator status here.

Now you do also @Maw (I think)

I blocked him but idk if it just blocked from my account and not the whole chat?

Seems to be the case!

If you need help with role setting, let me know.

i dont think im a mod @RobertGrulerEsq lol

I don't think she is either, don't see the role.

I'm concerned about @FaithJoy consolidating too much power

Might be dangerous.

hahah

okayyyyy

k fixed

Feel free to release the kraken on these spammers

Already complete! Thus far anyway.

Omg not the kraken. Lol

Fortunately Discord is much, much more tame than the chat is in terms of rational discourse.

And less mud-slinging.

It's because people aren't limited by characters to power packed aphorisms in this format.

@Maw I find the discussions here civil and interesting, even for an arrogant prick like myself. I expect that to change, though. I would feel safer with a contingency plan...

I would like to keep this place a haven to have an open mind without fear of dog-piling or ad hominem attacks.

The latter is already covered though under the rules.

That's exactly what we want here @Maw and why we are grateful for you help!

@Maw You cant rule out ALL ad hominem. Zulu would be homeless. And a dog fearing dogpiles?

🤣

@RobertGrulerEsq I appreciate the ability to be able to help. @Doc Lol. I mean direct attacks against people. I also love dogs, it's just a term used for a bunch of people on one side of the aisle jumping onto one argument and beating that person into submission via peer pressure.

You mean, sort of like a phD dissertation? 😄

@Maw and, yes, I am pulling your hind leg.

Never wrote one, but I'll trust your judgment -- and lol

Its supposed to be at least two sharp-edged opponents and a room full of people trying to find every fault you ever made while doing your research. It is sadly not that anylonger.

I don't think many would be ballsy enough to make their dissertation a dissent.

Some still do. And those are the ones to remember.

It's high risk-reward for sure.

I had a good friend who defended his phD on the thermodynamical brain.

the opponent said: "I cant see where dependency disorders fits in this model?"

Jørgen said: "that is because there is no such thing."

"how can you say that? You surely acknowledge that there are people that cant stop drinking."

"I do not."

Norwegian?

yes

"why?"
