SpikeTalon replies on Dec 7, 2018:

@CaroleKay Hi Carole, don't have alot of time at the moment so figured I'd tag you in this post. Since the conservative group was handed down to me I've received multiple hate messages in private from sock puppet accounts that suggested everything from walking off of a cliff to gargling on shards of glass, all due to the group I host. Since I could not determine who exactly was behind the dummy accounts, I resorted to blocking anyone who had detailed in their bios any hint of disdain toward conservative-leaning individuals, which is why I had blocked and banned you from the conservative group based on what you mentioned in your bio and figured you would never want to converse with me in the first place. The conservative group has been a favored target of trolls, and for months in a row almost on a daily basis I dealt with someone joining the group just to stir up trouble, and after awhile it got to be too much. I didn't come to this site to give anyone else a headache, so I figured blocking was the best route to go, but do know that I never had anything personal against you or any other progressive-leaning individual on this site. Truth be told, I'm not a far-right conservative nor am I a Republican, Libertarian best describes my political stance. There are members on here who I would consider friends and quite a few of them are liberal leaning, Shelton being one of them. Again, the last thing I want is to be a problem to anyone on this site, and at times on here can be most unwelcoming to views that do not align with the liberal left, so I stick to visiting posts/groups where I know the convos are a bit more neutral. I'm well aware of GuyKeith's post in the Senate group over me having him blocked and thus he can't see anything I post in that group, and in light of the recent drama in that group I'm considering dropping out, that way I guess neither him or Pralina won't have to worry anymore about seeing my posts as I won't be in the group anymore. With that much said, if you still do hate me or consider me a conservative troll, I understand, the choice to block me again is still yours.

SpikeTalon replies on Dec 5, 2018:

@RavenCT Being that Agnostic.com is available both as a site and app, I think Admin could only do so much to curb spammers. When dealing only with apps, certain authentication measures could be put in place to limit scam accounts, with sites I heard that's not as easy. I wouldn't feel good either just bailing and sticking my groups on someone else, but I suppose if one member didn't want to host a group they could either ask another member if they are interested or ask SiteSupport to retire the group. I already know I won't be able to go on forever, eventually given enough time going by if I haven't deleted my account on here I'll probably at least pause it.

@DUCHESSA Okay thanks. I heard from other members that guy has been stirring alot of trouble recently, I have him blocked, you can't talk logic with a progressive like him.

Conservative views being censored on other social media sites- [thefederalist.

jondspen comments on Dec 3, 2018:

Ty for the info. I hate to jump ship, but I agree, you can't have a logical discussion on here if you're conservative. You are just a backwards neanderthal, and don't deserve any respect or consideration of your argument's logic.

SpikeTalon replies on Dec 3, 2018:

I'd hate to jump as well, but never know how things will go down the road, and a handful of conservative members on here already had their accounts deleted, and that's not counting the ones who willingly left due to not being able to stand this site.

Are you offended by the term "Ape"? Im not - im proud to be an Ape man.

LenHazell53 comments on May 30, 2018:

In the 50's and 60's in the Uk it was common to hear parents call their child "a cheeky monkey" or a "daft apeth" it was actually quite endearing.

SpikeTalon replies on Dec 3, 2018:

@LenHazell53 That freaking dude is daft, blocked him a long time ago.

If you’re trying to downplay Roseanne’s recent episode I don’t believe you are as clever as you think. There is no doubt she meant it as an insult. I’m happy her show was canceled. Any more challenging riddles? Gonna find someone intelligent to speak with. Bye

I too have noticed the pattern. They seem to worship the Democratic leaders regardless of how degenerate the leaders acted .

Trajan61 comments on Dec 2, 2018:

The Romans were known for adopting other religions as their own. A good example would be the Greek gods and I think later they adopted Christianity as their own with quite a bit of pagan influence. @Duchessa

SpikeTalon replies on Dec 3, 2018:

@Trajan61 Look up the celebration of Saturnalia, interesting stuff, supposedly took place December 18-25. That's why X-mas is celebrated on the 25th, because it certainly doesn't say so in the holy babble. My ethnicity is mostly Italian, so I'm no stranger to catholicism (my mother is a fanatical catholic), and the catholic church is perhaps one of the most wicked organizations that ever existed in modern times. It makes me sick to think that some of my distant ancestors may have been part of the early catholic resistance against the Roman pagans, or even the witch trials of the 1600's.

Anyone else watch this miniseries? [hbo.com] I thought it was excellent.

Canyonlori comments on Dec 2, 2018:

In regards to George Bush Sr, I am sure if I delved into his politics they would be lots I disagree with. However, he was a devoted family man, a civil person, and was humble. I am sure the decisions he made politically he thought he was doing the right thing for the country (though they may not ...

SpikeTalon replies on Dec 3, 2018:

Who mentioned Bush Sr or the current President on this post? You got posts mixed up. Hillary Clinton was only looking out for herself as well, as most modern day politicians do.

George H.W. Bush, the 41st President of the USA, passes away at age 94- [npr.org]

Cutiebeauty comments on Dec 1, 2018:

Isn't Obama 41st?

SpikeTalon replies on Dec 1, 2018:

The 44th, and Trump is 45.

Seems like the logical and prudent approach. But then, I'm pretty conservative. ;-)

Haha, he mentioned the C word (conservative). That's by and large a curse word on this site...

cmadler comments on Feb 20, 2018:

Here in the US, the "conservative" Republican Party has been so tied to religious conservatives for my entire life that for a long time I thought I was liberal. I've only recently come fully to terms with the notion that I'm actually pretty conservative. Among other things, even though I think a lot...

I can relate to that as well.

dokala comments on Nov 30, 2018:

False equivalency. But the marketing looks good and appeals to the lowest common denominator.

SpikeTalon replies on Dec 1, 2018:

@dokala I stand by my claim as well, don't underestimate people when they get pushed into a corner, more people are paying attention than you realize. I don't fantasize about a revolution either, I sincerely don't wish for anything of that sort to ever occur, and of course I cannot speak for others on that. Regarding the silly part, that's your opinion and my own opinion is opposite of that, so neither of us will get anywhere further on that much.

I am pro statistics on guns.

Good solution. It seems lot of the imigrants want to make our country just like they country they immigrated from and this has always baffled me as that just doesn’t make any sense.

SpikeTalon replies on Nov 30, 2018:

SpikeTalon replies on Nov 30, 2018:

@dokala You may think it's silly, but it raises a good point that would bear some consideration at the least. Calling it silly is strictly your opinion, which of course you are entitled to. I know you weren't advocating either a political left or right approach... as you pretty much didn't advocate anything at all there aside from just giving an opinion. While you could make a case that both sides more often than not do not seek to fully come to an understanding of the problems we face, some of us are fully aware of the situation(s) and are actively thinking of ways to remedy said problems. To claim "no side ever makes an attempt to understand the problem" (key word there ever) would not be accurate. Also, I wouldn't underestimate the power of a pissed off population if I were you, determination can give individuals strength when they need it most. Our society has become so politically correct that alot of my fellow Americans almost automatically fall back on their emotions when an idea/thought/suggestion comes up such as the meme above, as it appears most people do not like it when they are told to owe up in life when faced with complicated decisions, therefore it's far simpler to call such silly or not applicable. By the way, I'm not necessarily saying you were emotional in your comment above, just a general across the board statement.

@Admin I thought that the problem of having people who have blocked appearing in your alerts had ...

SpikeTalon comments on Nov 30, 2018:

It appears lately there has been quite a few issues with the blocking function. I keep seeing names of those who I have blocked appear on the recently viewed lists in my group posts, and I wonder how they are able to still access my posts, and some of them no less have been banned from the groups in...

SpikeTalon replies on Nov 30, 2018:

@FrayedBear It's all good Richard. I just did that post to alert those who recently joined the site so they know about the Lobby group. Of course any member is welcome, level 3 and higher because you have to be at least that level in order to use the chatroom, and Admin set that rule.

@Admin - I think maybe you misunderstood the intent of this group.

SpikeTalon comments on Nov 30, 2018:

SpikeTalon replies on Nov 30, 2018:

@RavenCT I usually don't pay much attention to that part as in the past I've observed the similar groups list would be way off. I tagged Admin in my post.

This site has really turned out to be a very nice group of people.

kgoodyear comments on Nov 29, 2018:

I am a conservative Republican, Capitalist, atheist and a gun owner. Who shall I fear more the religious or the liberal atheist? It makes me wonder what will happen when I get on the gun control group. Will I find the same self speak or logic and critical thinking?

@kgoodyear Admin on this site doesn't appear to weigh in on the public posts when politics are brought up.

SpikeTalon replies on Nov 29, 2018:

@Alshaytan Indeed. In my twenties I entertained at a few hen parties and I could tell you firsthand alot of women act no different than men when at such events.

You'll find more of the same in the gun control group. Besides the conservative group, I also host this group- "Pro Gun Rights Group" I hope you decide to stick around on this site, you aren't alone.

Captain_Feelgood comments on Nov 29, 2018:

I pretty much have cut all ties to local atheist groups due to the political ideology that comes along with them. I have veeery little problem with religious people that get to know me ''as a conservative'' before they find out I am agnostic.

SpikeTalon replies on Nov 29, 2018:

@kgoodyear Unfortunately that is how a good majority of those on this site think and act like, and during my time on this site I've received quite a few hateful private messages over my conservative views.

This site has really turned out to be a very nice group of people.

kgoodyear comments on Nov 29, 2018:

Who should I fear more, the religious or liberal atheists? I feel i would be crucified if I were to find my self in their midst.

SpikeTalon replies on Nov 29, 2018:

I've gotten to a point where I fear the liberal progressives far more than the religious as the progressive agenda is a rather aggressive one in which is against individual liberties in favor of a collectivist mentality.
