SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

A serious proposal.

Quote from: J ArcaneThere's such a thing as overselling the con.  Especially when the game was up before it really began.  

I hate seeing idiots try to be clever.  It's just so pathetic.  Like watching the retarded kid try to respond to insults from his classmates.

Wow! So you want to derail the whole proposal by trolling. You are as stupid as I am when I troll.
Stop being daft and take my proposal seriously. We don't have to be daft all the time do we?
Can we be reasonable or are you totally rabidly incapable of being so?

So atheists have been abused, treated badly by clergy or they\'re stupid.They\'re just being trendy because they can\'t understand The God Delusion because they don\'t have the education, plus they\'re just pretending to be atheists anyway. Pundit you\'re the one with a problem, terminal stupidity.

Kyle has his own obnoxious agenda.
It would turn into a three-way clusterfuck, as three people who have no respect for each other produce one.

Bollocks! I should have every reason to diss Kyle, and yet I think he would give it a really good go at being impartial. I think he'd be a fine arbiter. Now if only we could get Ron Edwards to agree to a moderated debate.

You know, Ron Edwards isn't a personal friend of mine. But I'm pretty sure I can see this from his point of view.

Here's a website practically dedicated to slamming him; where a vocal minority of posters refuse to even get the basic facts straight, and where those same posters distort everything he says. None of those posters have the balls to tackle him directly, whether by email or at some public venue. Why in the name of Orcus would he want to come over here and be interviewed/quizzed? Particularly since there seems to be no gain in doing so?

To set the record straight.To talk to people that don't see eye to eye with him and at least try to convince us otherwise.
If Pundit is talking shit about Ron Edwards then RE has a reply to that. The gain would be in perhaps altering the perceptions of him, in those people who aren't completely close minded.
If Ron Edwards is shown to be talking shit then we can all have a great big party. I'll buy ten copies of Forward To adventure and we'll all have a massive international dungeon bash to celebrate!

If that is the case, then fuck the bastard. He's a cohoneless coward that isn't worth the time of day.
On the other hand if we ask him if he wants to defend his "theories" in a moderated debate between him and his major detractor, then he might say "Yes, its an ephemeral epiphenomenon blah boring blah de blah blah" (SHUT THE FUCK UP PROFESSOR BATCOCK!):D and we might get our moderated debate and learn something new about each protagonist.

If he isn't a personal friend of yours then you don't have any right to infer what his views of being asked to debate on this site will be.:p :D

He doesn't even care about that. I think this is the thing you and others aren't realising.

I very much doubt that RE sees Pindot as a major anything.

Quote from: AnthrobotHow the fuck do you know that Pundit is a liar when it comes to who he says he is. Do you think he might be Ron Edwards himself doing some kind of weird PR stunt?:rolleyes:
You didn't read this thread did you. There are quotes, right here in this thread, from interviews with "Pundit" where he admits his "persona".

Simply put, there are people who find professional wrestling entertaining and those that find it repulsive. Guess which group I fall into.:rolleyes:

Quote from: AnthrobotSome of you seem to have rushed over my proposal. The arbiter referees the debate and enforces a respectful attitude. It would,hopefully, not be a bloodbath but something close to talking to each other. It would give some insight into the participants characters as well as clear up who is the K Fed and who is the Britney!:D
And the point you seem to be missing is that many of us just do not think it would be:
a. possible to maintain the "respectful" tone
b. possible to get Edwards here
c. given the above, easy (and thus boring) to predict how the debate would go.

In short, whoever you pick as arbiter, I am, at least, tired of the "war".

That was not my impression. ;) However, considering the other posts I have made in this thread, I find the use of the word "sham" somehow appropriate.
