1. content of a post matters in a *support* forum. if the content disputes the topic of support, the post can be deleted or moved to a debate forum.
I have had a few posts hidden and\or moved, and\or edited... we are all vulnerable to this when we lose track of where we are when we post... or lose our composure.
2. An *owners* forum is, or I should say, can be, quite different from a narrow topic *support* forum... such as oleander. So while you may permit someone to disagree with you in *your* forum, it is not the best idea to charge into a *support* forum, with disagreements, and debate fodder.
If it were an *owner's* forum where you ran into trouble, your posts are subject to the whim of the owner, and their moderators whether you like it or not.
It looks to me like people are going to try to get you banned just like they did to Moreless, all because Tony is the popular guy here. And we all know how mob rule rules CureZone.
Notice how everyone who posted above in support of banning you or running you out, has an obvious long-standing bias in favor of Tony. One of them even promotes his product.
That's all there is to it. I don't see any behavior here that is not present in both sides. And it is clear who started it.
I once pointed out in the Colloidal Silver forum that Tony constantly plugs his colloidal silver product and website, in nearly EVERY post of his in that forum. It is so blatant and pathetic.
Well, apparently I broke some rule about speaking out against merchandise advertisement, and my post was promptly deleted within hours. Keep in mind this was in the Colloidal Silver public support forum. As far as I know, Tony is not the moderator there. (And if he is, that is SCARY!) Advertisement of personal merchandise is not allowed in public Support Forums . He was breaking TOS.
Now I just went back and read his most recent posts in that forum. He doesn't appear to do it much anymore. So I gotta give him credit for that. But if you go back some months or a year it gets really downright funny.
As far as I know, Hv is male. Did you even read the original post at the top? Tony referred to him as James.
"he doesn't constantly whine and whimper like the Hv baby does incessantly"
What's the point in whining when you have banning powers Much faster to just censor all who hold opposing opinions, hence the reason this thread was started.
Besides, do you really think anyone believes this? It's pretty obvious why you're in support of him. He's a fellow member of the Iodine religion. Same as the marsupial. Why argue against someone who promotes your ideology. You all promote each other's products. Oleander and Iodine go hand in hand as the top cults of CureZone.
drivelings of Hv when he/she ventures out of her/his curezone forum onto other cz forums to piss his bu77shit
Moderators are users too. Why can't they go into other forums and speak their opinion if they wish, so long as they do so respectfully? Unless this is against some moderator code I don't know about? (I'm not a mod so I wouldn't know.)
Just because someone's opinions piss you off doesn't mean they should keep themselves quiet to keep you pleased with yourself. Sorry, the world doesn't revolve around you. Learn to agree to disagree and move on!
EDIT: Too late to edit your post, I saved a copy. You deleted the word m*o*o*n. LOL!
I know, I make mistakes sometimes late when editing :( I'll cut a block of text and lose it sometimes.
You can go back I'm sure and find plenty of posts where I got into it with T. I don't think we've engaged in discourse since around April. Everyone's got somethin to say, and that needs to be respected, even when they're "wrong" in our own minds. Deep down, I don't dislike Hv or T or anyone else for that matter. We're all here but for a short time, and need to learn from one another. Hopefully somebody's learned something from all this. Have a wonderful day. :)
You obviously have no idea of the history of what happened when ML was temporarily banned - and I am not going to rehash it here - but I was not part of any group trying to get ML banned. As a matter of fact, I spoke out against ML being banned - and if you go back in the ML forum you will see where I was thanked for my support at the time.
Second of all, I do not have a colloidal silver product nor do I have a colloidal silver website. It is true that I am an affiliate of Utopia Silver, which is owned and operated by a lifelong friend of mine - and I have made that quite clear on that forum. It was me who talked my friend into becoming a paid sponsor of CureZone and me who talked him into offering a 15% discount for CZ members on any products not on sale at the time of order. I get no personal gain from any products purchased at Utopia Silver unless someone goes to the site via a link that has my affiliate ID code in it. Can you find one single instance of such a link in the CS forum or any other support forum? Thus there is no TOS violation.
If you actually do keep up with every post in the Colloidal Silver forum, which I do not moderate nor even know who does, you would actually have seen me many times also recommending Mesosilver and the Silver Puppy, neither of which I have an affiliation with. By the same token, I recommend other companies products which I have no affiliation with, such as Garden of Life and Jon Barron's Baseline Nutritionals. The reason I recommend those products is the same reason that I recommend some, but not all, Utopia Silver products - because I think they are quality products that would benefit the members here. Personal gain has nothing to do with it.
Somehow I find it hard to believe that you keep up with all the posts in the CS forum, since I cannot find a single one of your 213 posts at CZ in that forum. I have no idea what was in the post you said was deleted, but I had no part in it being deleted. Perhaps it may have been deleted because the facts were incorrect and/or it may have had mistaken accusations, as is the case here.
We have had our differences in the past, haven't we? Thus I got quite the chuckle to see us lumped together by our mistaken poster. I also had to laugh about the "oleander cult" part. Now "iodine cult"? You betcha. Unlike oleander, iodine stains the skin and thus makes it easier to paint on all the stripes and symbols we use in the "iodine cult" rituals. Was thinking though - since one of the reported beneficial (depending on your point of view I suppose) side effects of oleander is increased libido, perhaps we could have some combined cult meets and have iodine-oleander fertitlity rite rituals?
As far as getting upset at me in the past, ahhh - forget it. We all wish we could change some things in the past - and that includes some less than kind posts I have made in response to others in days gone by. Wish I had some of those back now. But I am trying to be a kinder, gentler kind of Quixote these days. Though there are times that is not so easy, and the trusty lance and faithful Rocinante are always ready. Perhaps the lessons I have learned are one of the reasons I did not support ML's banishment as well as not desiring H's banishment either. I mean, if an ol' onery goat like me can learn new tricks . . .
You know, some may think that this thread was mostly a popularity contest. I disagree. I think it was a reflection of how people who care about CZ and the behavior of members and mods feel. Sure, popularity likely played a part - but I would submit that popularity has come from earned respect and certainly not any butt-kissin' by ol' Quixote Tis not my way. Yours either. And thus sometimes we tango a bit.
Yeah, we are doing pretty well for the most part. I'm limping a bit after a blind side assualt by a drunk lowlife, but on the mend. Lu has finally put back on most of the lost weight from her disastrous trip to Californication where the smog and allergies and her kids pets put her in the hospital twice before she could limp back home. No doubt the colloidal silver and iodine have helped. Maybe even that cult-classic oleander.
I hope you are doing well too. O/T, but out of curiosity, what kind of songs do you write and perform?
It is pretty funny when folks use the word "cult".
"But I am trying to be a kinder, gentler kind of Quixote these days. "
Me too. I think about 3-4 years ago there was a lot of rumblings and fighting on here, and when the Iod forum got started it got attacked alot and I kinda fought back a little. Once the riff-raff was mostly gone, I kind got away from it all, as part of my self-professed mission was to ward those bstrds off.
"You know, some may think that this thread was mostly a popularity contest. I disagree. "
I saw it as an opportunity to be nice in the face of some folk who might not be nice, but looking back, nobody really got upset much, folks have been treating one another pretty good on this thread, compared to the past. I'm real glad to see that, people getting along in this trash can or whatever.
Admittedly though , I like to poke folks a little. lol.
Well meaning poking serves a valuable purpose. It stimulates people to make potentially knew choices unless of course they enjoy their current loop. What ever serves.
oh, it was like you were soul mates or something? No wait, I've got it. Typical romance novel plot. You piss each other off and try to alienate one another because you are afraid of a love so POWERFUL, so PURE....hahahahaha!
I'm in the process of buyin me a honkytonk joint. its a restaurant now but I'm gonna add a big room to it and a good lonnnnnng bar, build a stage outside.Catfish fry on fryday, band on sat, sunday after-church lunch, sell some ice-cream, a coupla pool tables and a dance floor. Karoake on Monday night, open-mic on Tuesday. Wednesday bingo. Band on Thurs. Brewpub license so I can sell that awesome beer batch I made back in '95 that tasted and wasted soooo good.
Have awesome food that defines the pub. Create a difference in your market. See what all the others are doing and create a niche within your market. Super support that niche. When they zig...you zag.
