Think for yourself, question authority

[Chaerophon]

First of all: how old are you? You sound like an adolescent with dreams of some day being a poet. I've got new for you. Keats you ain't.

Second off: why are you wasting our time? NOBODY CARES. Maybe your post didn't deserve to be deleted. OK, take it up with Gris. She's a reasonable person, and probably would have been much more receptive had you not immediately slandered her. This is a civil place filled with civil, intelligent people. You're not smarter than everyone else. Your thoughts and cut/paste quotations aren't some profound revelation - they are adolescent bragadoccio. When I was younger, I found myself in a headspace that was only a fraction as obnoxious as the one that you seem to presently inhabit. At this point, I'm embarassed that I was ever there. Maybe someday you'll feel the same way when you realize that many (not all, but Gris is probably one of them) of the people on this site and in the world in general have probably read more than you, thought more than you and lived more than you and that you should probably show them the respect that they deserve.

Now as far as your post:

How do you fix it? You can't really 'fight the power' when all they have to do is press a delete button?

A better option would be since if you don't get questioned and can boss around here and there you think less and less, untill you don't think anything at all, and just judge on the smallest amount of information. best then would be re-elections on websites, but as elections are basically based on the creater of the site or friends of such, that seems impossible?

No the best option would be to get the hell off of the lounge and start your own site that attracts thousands of diverse opinions, permits all manner of misbehaviour, and see where you end up. In order for intelligent discussion and informed opinion to be discussed online, a certain disciplined environment is required. This is one such environment.

Seas now thinks: Instead of taking time to reflect on actions, it's much easier for an egoistic mind to just use their power to stop the confusing/negative opinion. Art has a purpose, reality does not. Art is self reflection. Vainglory is the opposite of self esteem.

And where has your "art" been, friend? Cut/pasting quotations? Sorry, that was an attempt at vainglory, not art, and if you were so "centered in the self", you wouldn't be complaining.

Nothing to do then? Just bend over and see your favorite place go to all hell because of a few individuals? .

That would be the case without dedicated, intelligent mods.

Love is when you can get happiness from the smallest thing, and money/power passion means you will never get enough, and giving some away will only make you feel less. I am tired. G'bye

Wow, you're not much of an afficianado of Nietzsche. For such an "overman" you seem to have bought in hook, line, and sinker to that whole Socratic/Christian morality thing. Get a clue, bub. Oh yeah, and "G'bye".
