Another example of one exerting power over another!
Another example of the non-dictatorial peer regulating aspect of the SDMB, I would rather say.
Do you guys think that there is a considerable number of people on this board, who are members, try to bully on some very rare occasions (I hope) other members into forcibly accepting there beliefs.
No, not really. I’ve seen people try to blind others with confusing or misleading arguments, and I’ve seen people offer very well-researched and persuasive arguments. I haven’t see brute force work, and I’d be surprised if it did.
oh right, It must be my weirdself percieving it as bullying .
I suppose it depends what you mean by bullying.
If the straight dope is a dictatorship, then it is a strange one. How many other dictatorships exist where someone tries a coup d’etat and aren’t exiled or slaughtered? Of Course, Fenris could be posting from inside a dungeon.
What’re they gonna do, font you to death?
HA! ROTFLMAO

Montezuma, is all this about that a few times in the last months you’ve had your posts receive rhetorical broadsides sinking them instantaneously, sails, deckhands, cannons and all?
If that’s the case you are complaining of the level of debate here in GD…
The ‘dictatorship’ provides for pleasure boating as well if you’re into bobbing around on yachts rather than rhetorical Armada style battling you know. There is also a pond where liberal use of tenterhooks and bludgeons with cutlasses and flogging at the mast is the sport. If that doesn’t catch your fancy either you can take regatta classes or just sail for sport on two other peaceful lakes in the care of our beloved leadership.
Long live the Admiralty!

I wasn’t complaining, I was apologising.
