New forum needed

[Zakath]

There's no "argument." He's not getting his own forum, and he's been asked not to post all these pointless factoids anymore. End of story.

I believe there was some sort of debating about a 'news sub-forum' which, of course, would not be mine as it is whoever hosts the vL forums forum.

W/e though, I'll just continue to watch what I post

Crazed, you're completely missing the point, or misstating it on purpose.  I hope you're just misunderstanding and I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and explain once again.

1)  Forums exist for people to have interesting discussions.
2)  Forums have topics, people expect to read on-topic subject matter.
3)  News sites post news, you can go there to read about it.
4)  You were simply linking news to the forum, nothing interesting, just links to news.
5)  Your action turned the forum into a news site.  This is what annoyed everyone.
6)  Sometimes you would post news and comment on it, but the news would be so localized, nobody else could care.

I hope this helps, because I get the feeling from your posts that you're indignant about being asked to clean up your posting habits.  If so, then "you'll get over it" ($1 royalties to Yoni), or you'll be uncomfortable while you're here.

Also, people assume you're intellectually invested in a topic (care about it) if you post one or two with a thoughtful commentary on the subject matter.  Linking a news article and saying "Discuss" makes most people skip right over it.

I haven't misunderstood, I believe I've 'cut back' on posting news QUITE a bit frm my 'peak posting'.

As far as the posting an article & just saying "comment" it is probably because I agree quite a bit with the article and would like to have other opinions/view points on it & see what people think about whatever subject, is that so wrong to do?

But the point is you didnt really explain your opinion. It would have been better if you went into detail on your opioion then created a debate between others.

I understand that.
I just didn't want to restate things said in the artice but I spose I will from now on.

Although, I don't see why such a double standard exists between me and members of vL.

It's simple.

vL > You.

Enlightenment follows.  Two standards are for two distinct groups.  One group is vL members.  The other group is everyone else.  Are you keeping up?  Inclusivity and exclusivity always implies double standards.  vL is an inclusive group, not truely exclusive.  We include those people we want in our group, and they get the vL standard.  We do not exclude those we do not want, we simply do not include them, thus they get the everyone else standard.
