(I ask the mods to be liberal in removal of trash posts.)
A month ago, when BPIP crashed, I was ready to abandon this forum in anger, over what I perceived as lack of morality from the forum administrator. I decided to turn BPIP over to capable people, and I had a bit more time to relax and research. Besides understanding the type of violent psychopath who attacked me here over the last year, I also realized an epic misunderstanding about Theymos.
He has a different philosophy than I do. I find any kind of dishonesty to be untrustworthy. He is more forgiving, less "harsh" and I feel he does not view theft as a big deal if no violence was used and no harm is done. It's a great philosophy, and it goes well with a decentralized, anonymous system.
I have 35 years of part-time military/law enforcement telling me that is wrong, and that is the conflict. My ways are old and I believe climate change will break down society quickly, so I need to change my thinking towards those that believe as Theymos does.
I no longer trust Theymos because of what he allowed here, but that is my issue. But I do not distrust him because he has consistently acted on his principles, and I don't see him changing soon. I'm amazed at the level of free speech here and how he mostly does not get involved. Plus, I would be a fool to stay here if I no longer trusted him.
But I can't continue taking sausages away from people who like sausages! If codes, coins and cons need a place, better here than the deep web. In fact, given what I posted above, I might give up scam busting altogether. I'm giving up on feuding here, although there may be some fallout for a while for things that have already happened.
I'm starting a new site, much different from this one or BPIP. It should appeal to many users, but not everyone.
In the meantime, I'll go back to enjoying this site as a simple member.
