Look, let me be real with you—I’m still on probation here, and I have zero desire to post something reckless that lands me in ban jail. And if we’re being honest, I think you should probably dial it back a notch instead of pushing such extreme ideas. We’re all just hanging out on a general interest forum where we can express ourselves without all that stifling stuffiness. Honestly, everything you just laid out is pretty irritating to people, which is totally understandable. Most folks here would much rather stick to something simple, like picking up some fruit at a local grocery store. Knowing your intellectual capacity, I’m certain you’re more than capable of sharing your views without coming off as an extremist or exhausting everyone who is just here to unwind and have a good time. For my sake, please—show the whole forum, and the entire LJES, what kind of wood you're actually carved from.
You can definitely do better than dustyranger64. I had no idea you had Canadian blood in you; I always thought it was just those hot-headed types from the South.😍

Look, it’s not about picking on you. Not even close! It’s honestly just hoping that maybe—just maybe—it’ll finally click for you, you'll realize what you're doing wrong, and you can stop before things get messy.
Look, if you had come to us with a legitimate request to scrap this partial, we would have actually taken you seriously. But honestly? This whole thread is just a mess of fake claims, accusations, and baseless finger-pointing about persecution. It’s all noise. Because of that, the three LJES moderators have reached a consensus: your partial stays exactly where it is.
Just a few more details, besides the fact that the whole conversation is just one big, disrespectful mess:

And what about that... Allowed. It’s just plain wrong. Like, "cheat on your husband and you deserve..."—you know the kind of stuff people say. Total nonsense.

You need a catchy word.
Look, it’s not up to the mods or this forum to play moral police. If someone wants to cheat or back a shady decision, the moderators aren't going to step in and defend that behavior. Everyone has a right to their own opinion. Your take isn't "problematic" just because it's different from mine. You were only being problematic because you jumped into every single thread involving cheating or hookup culture just to lecture everyone else on their morals. Something extra, even when it wasn't even what we were talking about!

It’s such a basic one—one of our regular ladies starts an easygoing thread. Just a simple "Hey guys, what are we all hoping for in this new year of 2012?" she asks.

I’m totally craving one—or maybe even a few—passionate nights with a guy I definitely shouldn't be messing with! 😉

What are you responding to?

Wow... What a wish! Honestly, aren't you just fearless? Just jumping right in and diving headfirst into bed with anyone like that? No hesitation at all. I mean, aren't you worried about catching something, or maybe that they won't actually look out for you or take care of you? Just curious!

I've only got one wish: I hope everyone else starts thinking as smart as you do!

And that was on a totally harmless topic! Seriously. But then, whenever things actually get heavy—like when we're talking about real fraud or those brutal, life-altering decisions—your judgment just kicks in. It’s constant. You don't just critique; you go way beyond.

I mean, seriously, the kind of garbage that was being posted and allowed there? It’s honestly sickening...

Just because you think it’s disgusting when a guy admits he cheated—because he’s torn between his wife and this new woman he’s actually falling for—doesn't mean we can just ban people from talking about it. It doesn't work like that! Every time someone even mentions promiscuity, you lose it. You get all worked up and start preaching, but honestly? I haven't seen any change in your attitude at all.

That doesn’t mean you should be okay with that kind of behavior. Honestly, most people on the forums over there aren't fans of it either. But even when they don't agree with what someone is doing, they don't just treat that person like some lost sheep crying out for help. They aren't about that life.

Honestly, that doesn't mean anything to me.

Nothing! I just want the whole thing.

A forum for us to hang out and actually read what everyone’s putting down!

And since I’ve already got two failed marriages under my belt...

Honestly, I might actually know how to

help people with this more than you guys do...

It doesn't seem like you even care. And bringing up two failed marriages in a family doesn't prove anything. For ŽuD maybe, but for LJES? Not at all.

And this is exactly why the bias regarding the LJES mods stays.
It’s hard to put into words just how much we don't care whether you believe in God, nothing at all, or even some Holy Shoe.
Your refusal to accept any lifestyle different from what you personally deem "moral," that whole "poor me, I'm being bullied" routine—which is totally far from the truth (I'm pretty sure the mods and admins have seen your old threads and deleted posts, along with everyone else's)—all of that, plus your inability to see where you're messing up forum etiquette while instead spinning conspiracy theories about moderators going on crusades just to target you specifically (interestingly, not anyone else), is a way bigger issue.

Looks like Smod already gave his take, so I'm done here. Admins?

What kind of nonsense is this? What on earth are you even talking about?😲 Maybe just ask them nicely without that usual arrogance of yours and that stubborn streak you always carry. They might actually listen to the request if you approach it that way. Since they already went out of their way to meet me halfway by lifting my ban, I don't see why they wouldn't do the same for you—especially since you're one of the most active members on this forum.

Just be charming, like you always know how to be, and everything will work out just fine. You have this lovely admin right there; just use all that charm of yours and wrap rustydrifter10 up in it.🤣

ironseal10 said:Henry Kim3, who do you think is actually allowed to mess with you? Just give me a name—I’ll go handle it myself—and let me know when my profile is cleared so I can get back to teasing you on LJES. Honestly, without you around, LJES just isn't nearly as much fun.🙂🙂🙂

Harold Taylor6 said:Don't you feel even a little bit embarrassed constantly playing the part of some pious, forgiving saint?
Suppose I’m not a believer at all—if I decided to give people a second chance, what would my justification be? Is it only believers who get to hand out second chances and offer forgiveness?
And what if I *am* a believer, but I choose not to grant that second chance? Does that just make me a "lesser" believer than you?

Honestly, your posts are about as effective as a cop trying to settle a dispute by hitting someone with a wet newspaper. From what I can see in just these few posts, you've basically boxed yourself into a corner.

And what if I *am* a believer, but I choose not to grant that second chance? Does that just make me a "lesser" believer than you?

Honestly, your posts are about as effective as a cop trying to settle a dispute by hitting someone with a wet newspaper. From what I can see in just these few posts, you've basically boxed yourself into a corner.

Joshua Jones13 said:Henry Kim3, first you go and open clones, and now you’re making posts like this just to prove you still don't get why those partial bans were handed out. Not to mention when you basically said you have zero intention of following the rules because they don't mean anything to you. I actually believe you, which is probably why I'm not voting to lift the partials either.

Sophia Thomas7 said:It’s exactly this kind of logic that keeps my answer a firm "no." The partial election at the university stays put.

Anyway, cheers. 🙂

Sophia Thomas7 said:Sure thing.

I’ve been thinking about this quite a bit lately, and honestly, I think we might be overcomplicating things. It feels like everyone is rushing to jump on the latest trend without actually stopping to see if it even works for them. I was talking to Henry Kim3 about this the other day, and he made a really solid point—we often get so caught up in the "newness" of a solution that we ignore the fact that our current setup isn't even broken. Why fix what isn't busted? It’s easy to get swept up in the hype, especially when people like Sophia Thomas7 start talking about how revolutionary a certain tool is. But at the end of the day, if it doesn't solve a practical problem in my daily routine, it’s just more noise. I know I’m probably being a bit cynical here, but I'd rather stick to what I know works than chase every shiny object that comes along. Does anyone else feel like they're constantly being sold a "better way" that ends up being more work?

Sophia Thomas7 said:The answer is still no. This thread has become incredibly unproductive, and since the center tag makes everything unreadable anyway, I don't see any point in continuing this conversation here.

Good luck dealing with those mods.

Henry Hernandez7 said:I’ve got no clue what Henry Kim3’s usual vibe is, though honestly, it doesn't really change my point.

If he was keeping things chill with the clone account and wasn't causing any drama, I don't see why they’d bother stripping his partial access.
The same goes if his communication style stayed consistent with his main handle—if there was no shift in behavior, then pulling those permissions seems pretty unnecessary.

That's all I've got.

Sophia Thomas7 said:There are actually a few reasons. Before the split even happened, you were asked several times to tone down your rhetoric, but you just wouldn't listen. Then, once the split went through, you ended up opening a clone account.

So, honestly, I don't see any point in removing the partition from the main forum.

Sophia Thomas7 said:It’s staying on the NYSE; there’s honestly just no logical reason to pull a partial liquidation now.

Kate Johnson14 said:Forgive me, but from what I gather, she’s saying everything in her life is falling apart and going south, and that’s why she’s losing her spirituality. That’s the exact question any person with a functioning brain would ask themselves if they were a believer: "How am I supposed to make ends meet in this recession? How do I deal with this job uncertainty when layoffs are happening every single day? Why are bad things happening to me if I haven't done anything to deserve them?"

But Henry Kim3, she needs a concrete solution to her problems, not just some hope being sold to her through prayer. Of course, the church—as an incredibly hypocritical institution—doesn't provide any actual financial assistance to its followers, even though that very same church owns a massive amount of real estate in this country. They offer prayer, words spoken during Mass... basically, comfort. It’s just like someone with a weak character who, crushed by problems they can't handle, feels so miserable and lost that they turn to drugs just to feel happy for a few hours while it kicks in... sure, it's a fake happiness, not the real thing, but in that specific moment, it feels real enough to them. The person offering them the drugs is a hypocrite, a fake friend, because a true friend helps you actually solve your problems instead of feeding you false hope and artificial bliss. It's the same with the church hypocritically offering PRAYER as comfort to people who are unemployed, people who can't afford to feed their families, or young people sitting on unemployment benefits hoping for a job while everything falls apart... all when they could take a portion of that enormous capital they possess and pay out to believers in their darkest hours, house the homeless, and actually help. A fake solution looks perfect to a naive person at first glance; it seems right within reach, and while they're being sold this hollow fix (in this case, via a priest's sermon during Mass), everything seems so solvable and wonderful... but once they step out of that church—that massive building that reeks of wastefulness and excess—and head back to their tiny rented apartment, or catch a bus or a subway home while the priest who gave them the "solution" in the form of prayer pulls away in a Tahoe, a Hummer, a Grand Cherokee, or a Mercedes ML (since those are clearly the preferred vehicles for priests in this country), maybe then things start to click for that naive soul... maybe they realize no one is actually helping them, they're just being fed false hope when they could be getting the tangible help they need to pull themselves out of this crisis. Like the Bible says: "Love your neighbor as yourself"... yeah, sure, and the naive person goes back to their cramped little rental on the bus, while the priest who recited those words drives his brand-new SUV to one of the luxury mansions the church owns across the country... Ah, what a beautiful way to show love for your neighbor...🤣 If it weren't so pathetic, tragic, and sad, it would almost be funny.🙂

It’s just like someone with a weak character who, crushed by problems they can't handle, feels so miserable and lost that they turn to drugs just to feel happy for a few hours while it kicks in... sure, it's a fake happiness, not the real thing, but in that specific moment, it feels real enough to them. The person offering them the drugs is a hypocrite, a fake friend, because a true friend helps you actually solve your problems instead of feeding you false hope and artificial bliss. It's the same with the church hypocritically offering PRAYER as comfort to people who are unemployed, people who can't afford to feed their families, or young people sitting on unemployment benefits hoping for a job while everything falls apart... all when they could take a portion of that enormous capital they possess and pay out to believers in their darkest hours, house the homeless, and actually help. A fake solution looks perfect to a naive person at first glance; it seems right within reach, and while they're being sold this hollow fix (in this case, via a priest's sermon during Mass), everything seems so solvable and wonderful... but once they step out of that church—that massive building that reeks of wastefulness and excess—and head back to their tiny rented apartment, or catch a bus or a subway home while the priest who gave them the "solution" in the form of prayer pulls away in a Tahoe, a Hummer, a Grand Cherokee, or a Mercedes ML (since those are clearly the preferred vehicles for priests in this country), maybe then things start to click for that naive soul... maybe they realize no one is actually helping them, they're just being fed false hope when they could be getting the tangible help they need to pull themselves out of this crisis. Like the Bible says: "Love your neighbor as yourself"... yeah, sure, and the naive person goes back to their cramped little rental on the bus, while the priest who recited those words drives his brand-new SUV to one of the luxury mansions the church owns across the country... Ah, what a beautiful way to show love for your neighbor...🤣 If it weren't so pathetic, tragic, and sad, it would almost be funny.🙂
