I wasn't really active back then so I missed the drama, but honestly, I don't see anything wrong with what she experienced with those waitresses. Based on your insults, it sounds like she’s walking into bars specifically looking to mess with the staff. I’m not saying she’s right—we aren't even on the same page there—and since I wasn't there, I don't know the full story. I've personally witnessed people driving servers and chefs absolutely insane, and seen plenty of rude behavior too, but still. I tend to be more level-headed than most here. 😁
Anyway, I went digging through some posts by this "guru" who clearly has a massive double standard. For example, regarding a certain user who was relentlessly insulting others, making crude sexual remarks, and throwing out antisemitic slurs, he actually stated this:
Well said, Brenda Gonzalez12. Now go ahead and whine, because you're all in the crosshairs now. I guess it just goes to show that the internet never forgets. Again, I condemn that user's behavior—I actually reported him myself—but it was useless. I'm asking the inner circle to please take a moment to reflect on these double standards and finally shut up about the criteria for selecting a new moderator.

What a bunch of lowlifes... man, you are seriously obsessed... this thread is literally about a female user opening up about a guy who insults everyone around him. Is it okay with you that someone is being that disrespectful? I don't see you offering any actual solutions, you're just obsessed with these gurus. And since there's only one person on this site obsessed with a guru—and we all know who—it's not hard to figure out which handles are hiding behind the screen based on the way they write. Thanks for the help and for basically outing yourself... But right now, what matters is Quote : Exotericon.
No, let me add a little more to that... what kind of criteria were you guys looking for in a moderator? It's almost like none of you have even put your own usernames forward. You want me to pull quotes where you all nominated each other? And we're talking about members of a cult who coordinate via private messages—which was confirmed by the very user this thread was started for.

Like I quoted from your "guru" above, why don't you just ignore him? By the way, why are you so eager to defend him? Did I address you specifically? Or should I try your little trick and pretend I'm posting from the wrong profile... oops?

Trolling again, are we? Can't say it to my face, so you have to talk in circles? I accepted the title of "guru" from others because it perfectly describes his charismatic traits—instructing his cult followers through private messages on how to swarm and attack, driving anyone with a different opinion away from threads because you don't support actual dialogue. Instead, you just wait for that mutual, self-congratulatory babble.
It is interesting, though; when you run out of arguments, your standard operating procedure is to immediately accuse anyone who disagrees with you of being a clone or a fraud. I think you actually promised to jump off the tallest building if it turned out I didn't have clones. Feel free to test me; I've asked for it plenty of times. Though, I'm not exactly asking you to fulfill that promise. 😛
As for suggestions, what is there to suggest? I've been reporting you all for ages and nothing happens.☕ I don't expect anything to change here. When you have someone like Rorion, whose entire contribution over the last hundred posts has been nothing more than "you're an idiot" and similar nonsense—and who barely even got banned—it was actually called sick harassment when people tried to report him. Like I said, karma is a bitch 😛
Honestly, it’s probably for the best I’m not the moderator, because I’d be swinging the broom hard!
Arthur Smith15 said:Exotericon is clearly losing his mind a bit, constantly picking fights with just about everyone, but honestly, he’s entertaining—which is a massive step up from that destructive piece of work Rorion.
Honestly, I don't find it funny at all. It’s just as irritating as that flat-earther on Reddit who keeps spamming Pride parade photos at anyone arguing about the Moon; he thought he was being clever, realized there were no consequences, and now he just thinks it's hilarious to drop those images everywhere.
Regarding the thread about when Bonecrusher was reported, in response to Leena's post
Look, I’m being dead serious here—why are you all just ignoring him? This guy is clearly bored and just looking for a reaction. As long as he keeps getting attention from you people, he has all the fuel he needs to keep going in this exact same tone. Stop replying to his posts. No matter how much he tries to drag you into an argument, don't engage. Don't put his quotes in your signatures, and stop starting new threads about him. Better yet, send a quick PP to others warning them not to play along. You'll see—he'll lose interest and vanish almost immediately. It happens all the time.
Elizabeth Jackson says:
Well said. It’s like they’re literally obsessed with him, acting as if this one user has somehow taken control over them. And honestly, seeing how much time and energy a few of you waste on him, maybe he actually has. All it takes is for him to press a button and, like clockwork, some of you are up and others are down. It’s like an elevator that only moves whenever the boss decides to hit the button.
Personally, if I report something and see absolutely zero reaction, I just assume no rules were actually broken. Isn't that the same conclusion you all reach?
It’s funny how when certain users were out here trolling every single topic and hurling insults left and right, everyone was suddenly so sympathetic. It was all, "Oh, they were just provoked," or "Poor things, they're just being entertaining." But then, when Rorion was finally kicked out? Suddenly, people were shedding tears for him.
Now, we get this guy who doesn't pull any punches and absolutely wrecks these threads. After his attempt to recruit him failed, the "understanding" for ridiculous behavior vanished instantly. Now, you're all just labeling him as some clone of a user who has already exposed the guru as nothing more than a total fraud on several occasions.
Honestly, this is just the standard operating procedure for those self-proclaimed "alternative" types. They call anyone who disagrees with them an outsider just because they posted in "their" threads, and they toss around accusations of being clones—claiming it's "unfair"—while the guru himself doesn't even take offense. For instance, I'm still waiting for one particular user to follow through on their promise to jump off a skyscraper if I really am someone's clone.
Let's be real: the person this thread was started in honor of has been disgusting from the very beginning, ever since he told a female user to go perform oral sex on the admins here. It's pathetic that none of the administration bothered to react to legitimate reports by simply clicking the little icons. But what's truly revolting is that after all that, you're all fighting to be moderators and trying to set the criteria for the role while maintaining such blatant double standards.
Look, what am I even supposed to think about someone who mocks a dead person? 🙄
It doesn't surprise me coming from Aiko. Honestly, I think you—and if I'm wrong, my apologies—have become obsessed with defending this guru who openly bragged about making fun of a friend who fell ill with the flu. You act like the flu is some harmless little thing, even though a young relative of mine actually died from it. It’s just baffling to see such coldness, especially when you all work so hard to pose as crusaders for justice against supposed "murderers" in the medical industry. Sorry, kid, but you're acting like a total amateur. What actually offends you isn't the fact that you constantly stigmatize us as being nothing more than clones; it's the way you use terms like "dishonest" and "fraud," even while your guru insists those aren't insults.
stormyrider28 said:Roger Cooper91, if you aren't some clone of Monty, I’m jumping off a skyscraper.
Look, if that's really how you feel... I don't wish you any harm, so at least bring a parachute. 😁 I think both Monty and I would be happy to show up, and there will probably be plenty of other interested folks too—just let us know where you'll be. Ideally, we're all in NYC, maybe meeting up near the Empire State Building. 👍
As for that leaked message, I wasn't exactly shocked, but I am glad we finally saw what kind of opinion Ibrahim holds about those of us who happen to disagree with everything Exotericon stands for—calling us idiots, the dregs of society who deserve to die, and so on. And why? Simply because we hold different views. Very profound stuff. Pure Zen. 😁 And you guys actually wanted to nominate him as a moderator? 👍 He didn't even care about being vulgar, insulting, or outright rude; he was just terrified that the thread promoting this charlatanism might get shut down. Don't worry, I don't care about closing the thread—I care about cleaning it up.
The fact that you don't grasp what I'm saying regarding how transparent your communication style is—which, honestly, I couldn't care less about—is telling. It's become clear that you really do coordinate these little witch hunts against anyone with a differing opinion. Honestly, I'm not surprised you're struggling to understand me when, on another thread, everyone is cheering because you've finally, after the nth attempt, understood a text that you persistently misinterpret. 😁
By the way, instead of the jump, I'll settle for a public apology. I truly don't want anything bad to happen to you. 😉
You guys mentioned it yourselves; it’s hardly some big secret..
Go ahead, send your private messages—who’s stopping you? Even though I really don't want to get involved, I’m advising Monty not to reply to that leaked private message. It’s blindingly obvious he was right when he called your whole way of operating a "pack mentality." If you're panicking just because you got recognized, that's on you.
But moving past that, I am still calling on the moderators to issue a permanent ban to Exotericon, who keeps harping on about this medical mafia wanting to kill people, and Ethan Barrett22, who was egging him on. This stuff is DANGEROUS and LEGALLY ACTIONABLE. We need to bring this thread back to an acceptable standard. As for the insults being thrown around by both sides, I'll leave it to you to decide the penalties.
I'm quoting Nice, who shut down the other thread on this subforum because of this exact mess:
The topic is temporarily closed. Some posts involving bickering have been deleted, but no one has been formally sanctioned yet. If I find the time for a more thorough review soon, that might change.
Let me be crystal clear about how we move forward: the compass has been lost here, and the discussion has veered off into territory it should never have entered. You can discuss alternative methods, but you cannot encourage people to ignore modern medicine and professional doctors' advice, nor can you promote methods that have been scientifically proven to be harmful and dangerous.
This topic will likely reopen in a few days. Either this one, or a new one where we start from scratch, but either way, there will be a new set of rules.
Seriously, what are you guys even on about? Anyone who’s actually been following the discussions on this subforum for more than five minutes knows you all send private messages just to swap recipes or "clarify" things—you’ve literally said as much in public.
By the way, I don't care if they call us whatever names they want. They constantly spread these unpunished, public rumors that we’re all clones, or they mock people's private lives—like questioning if I even have a family, or making jokes about a deceased neighbor of another user. Look, I know people lie and you have to be careful, but for these quasi-alternative types, if you aren't standing on their side, they immediately go after your personal integrity in public. It doesn't matter because that subforum has been a total circus for ages, but I'm still appealing to the moderators to step up and clean out the "raw food" thread. In there, they call medical professionals literal murderers, calling them the "medical mafia" or claiming they "tried to kill him with chemo." Then you've got some self-proclaimed guru stirring the pot from the sidelines, using ridiculous caricatures to drive the point home. They are literally weaponizing fear against modern medicine, and we already have enough terrified forum users and readers being exposed to this garbage.
By the way, I’d like to request that the moderator take a look at this thread. Setting aside the fact that Exotericon is calling me an idiot, the way they’re insulting people undergoing chemotherapy by labeling them "human waste"—all while jumping into my conversation with another member where I was simply respecting those who choose to avoid chemo while sharing stories about family members who were cured by it—is honestly disgusting.
Is the official stance of this forum to support views that mainstream medicine considers nothing short of killing people?
Hey Nicole Johnson20, what’s your take on how Exotericon is treating me? Honestly, did I do anything to deserve this kind of attitude? Oh, right—he’s "yours."
Look, whether it actually happens or not isn't even the point here. The real question is: did they factor in a sequel from the jump, or was this just a massive oversight?
I really enjoyed the movie; it was a great ride. My only real gripe was how much tension I spent waiting for something—anything—to happen with Chloe and Paul's aunt. I was constantly on edge because our protagonists were stuck in the same house as this woman sick in her room, and I kept expecting her to lash out at them or maybe even at the Germans arriving at the house. But then, what? Absolutely nothing from her. It was like she didn't even exist by the end. I even sat through the credits hoping for a post-credits scene to tie up that loose end, but nope... nothing. Is there a sequel in the works, or was that just a wasted subplot?
Ethan Barrett22 said:If you actually take a second to look at the topics Robert Fox78 posts about, you’ll see he stays on track. He isn't out there being offensive or taking cheap shots at anyone,
Honestly, I don't even care anymore. To me, Robert Fox78 is just the ultimate litmus test for seeing which other users are willing to defend his absolute garbage.👍
Lana, look, I tried to take the high road here. I ignored all his usual trash talk, and honestly, it seems like he’s finally starting to come to his senses.
Regarding this whole situation, I have a quick question for the moderators: is it actually allowed to call other people clones? To me, it feels like a straight-up insult because it’s basically insinuating someone lacks integrity. Not to mention it's completely off-topic. Honestly, when someone keeps being a nuisance on this same forum, I don't have any better way to put it than calling them an idiot—do I get an immediate red card for that?
