Title: OMG I started a drama war on WP
Post by: Natalia Evans on November 29, 2007, 03:52:07 AM
Okay maybe I didn't start the drama by myself, BlueMax might have been part of it too by his reply and TheZach took it the wrong way.

All I did was asked him a curious question and he takes it personal. Gee why didn't I think of googling 'autistic' 'fenway' and 'anthem'?


Don't know if I will end up disliking Uncle Beer now.

To be honest, I agree with you SG. No where in the video description does it say that he's "Autistic". In fact all it says is "Disabled". I can think of any number of conditions that could seem like autism.

If he's anything like you, then he can fuck off.

Hopefully, you as well.

I resigned early this summer, IIRC.
Got banned for fighting the fight that
I was, all along. Alex shifted positions,
which I didn't expect.

I'm sure that if I went and groveled, he'd
get me back in, but I couldn't NOT fight that
fight there.

and why is it bad for WP members to know? Is Alex afraid of losing members because they might get too paranoid to post thinking they might get banned?

Alex can stop banning people for their opinions and all sorts and only ban the trouble makers such as flamers and spammers and trolls.

It's probably that Alex is even more afraid of losing money when people realize that other people whom they like and respect have been banned from WP.  A lot of people send Alex money to "Support WP" (I think Richard may be one of them) and in addition Alex gets money from the ads on WP, so the more people he can claim, the more money he gets.

I thought Richard didn't like Alex or does he do it to keep the site going so he can have a place to go? I know you aren't really sure if he is or not. I was just asking in case it's true.


Luckily I don't send money to the site. Never had. I'm greedy about my money sadly.

Of course, what it boils down to is the money and the image he wants to convey. A membership comprising several thousand people is good for both. Only the admins can find out how many of those are banned or sockpuppets.

pretty much. I've had people contact me saying JUST this.
That they're too afraid of pulling a ban to stick up for me.
Fuck that shit. At least Richard has balls.

Alex claims that he makes 100k per year.

yes but i sent my last donation for december, i wont be donating anymore. this time i mean it :laugh:
i'd be more than happy to donate to intensity inplace of wp

its christmas so. :P

Never quite understood WHY you
would send Alex money. The man
claims he's poor, but also states
that he makes 100k +/yr. One way
or another, he's a lier.

I guess he doesn't want to use his own money to pay for his own site so he has members help him instead. How on earth does he make 100K a year if he is a student? Wow must not have time for some free time unless he counts the donation for WP as the money he makes.

I wish I made 100k a year haha.   If he really makes 100k from WP, then it might be worth taking that site down.   He shouldn't make a comfortable living just for having a AS website that is popular (advertising revenue).    100k a year just puts him in the highest tax bracket, you don't really want to make 100k, you want to make way more or just under to fit in the tax bracket right under.

He doesn't lose members since he refuses to delete the accounts of those he has banned from the site. I've repeatedly asked him to delete my account, without any luck.

Of course, what it boils down to is the money and the image he wants to convey. A membership comprising several thousand people is good for both. Only the admins can find out how many of those are banned or sockpuppets.

You forgot spambots disabled, but, not deleted.  I'm sure a lot of "members" are that as well.

Considering what WP is run on, yes. Only god knows how many spambots we get every day at Gestalt. Well, Sophist knows, and the other admins, too, but you know what I mean. :P

Tax brackets don't work that way.
You pay based upon EACH bracket.
So, he'd only be paying the highest
taxes on what he makes over 100k.

wp is shite. i've lost count of how many sockpuppets i've had on there. French_Froggy and Sexy_Christian were the most fun though.

i just posted on there for the first time in ages, asking about some of the starbuline stuff, quatermass and calandale, and the thread is now gone.

I know what you mean, but, as an example...the last month or so,  so many spambots have registered on aspergianisland that I haven't caught up yet on deleting.  We went from 1600+ members to 2000+ "members" within a month.  On a dead forum.

No doubt. I'm shocked my stuff stayed,
to be honest. It kinda defeats the point
of banning me, if they're going to leave
my broadsides up. Not that anyone goes
into the site discussion section.
