And thus we see the death rattles of A+ begin. Basically, "we don't want new members, we don't want to increase our numbers". Eventually it's just gonna be ceepolk, flewellyn, and setar in an oppression circle jerk. It's not just new members anymore, they've already lost several with hundreds of po...

The FfTB 'scientific' method?

And, frankly, despite the fact that your source is guilty of betraying everyone's trust, and putting some of our members at risk of serious harm, while the most you can claim on those of us who used the private forum is that we didn't invite you. Do you see the problem? Come clean, wind. We have. h...

I was also wondering if the real intent of the A+ forums was to quarantine a section of the commentators away from FTB in order to distance some of the nuttier ones away under the guise of "safe space".

I think we (either correctly or incorrectly) use ourselves as a baseline. We know what we would not do. Then, we apply our own personal baseline to the tragedy.

I think it's rather safe to speculate that mentally "sane" people do not shoot 20 children at point blank range. That would be an opinion rather than based on fact. Serial killers have been found guilty with no question of their sanity. Atrocities have been carried out around the world (including t...

Ok, so I stupidly read a blog post by Szvan today regarding mental illness which then prompted me to look at other posts on FfTB regarding the Newtown masscre and mental illness.

It is not unusual in towns near Garrisons to witness signs in bars saying 'no soldiers'. I never saw one. You sure that's not an urban legend?
