World is becoming strange womanly dystopia. I actually like it but I am nervous about future. Freedom of speech and being free to dislike homosexuality should be rights too.
Part of the problem is people assume thinking homosexuality is a sin, means they don't like people who do participate in it. It's why "homophobic" now means those who think it's a sin, versus those who are actually afraid of homosexual people or acts. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/homophobic - "Fear, hatred, or mistrust of lesbians and gay men."There are plenty of Christians who will get labeled a homophobic even if they are friends with those who are gay, simply because they believe it's a sin. When Christians say adultery or lying is a sin and have parents or siblings or friends who commit adultery or lie, do they get called afraid of those who commit adultery or lie? It seems silly, right? Tolerance is not enough. The gay lobby is demanding acceptance. They demand that people accept and condone their lifestyles while not tolerating, accepting, or condoning the lifestyles of religious peoples. Everyone deserves tolerance. No one is entitled to acceptance. Attempting to force people to accept your beliefs and lifestyle is intolerant, and religious people deserve tolerance just as much as homosexuals. This behavior is very intolerant.

I doubt you'll convince many (if any) with the methods you're using.
What makes you think I give a shit about your approval? I posted here so there is a public record of Vod's pattern of abusive behavior. What's next, you going to claim Theymos had it out for you?
No, of course not. He just happened to create trust list exclusions right after he personally went around asking people who had me on their trust list to exclude me. The fact that I was the very first person to have trust exclusions used against them was purely coincidence. The fact that he had people remove me THEN exclude me along with Badbear effectively punitively punishing me for not removing my rating after I was removed from the default trust even though he swears up and down trust ratings are not moderated for anyone not on the default trust has zero bearing on this either. This certainly is not an exceptional amount of effort from him to moderate trust ratings at all. After all, he does these sort of things all the time right? Yes you were removed from DT after ONE accusation of trust abuse that uncovered a long undeniable history of doing such.
Absolute 100% bullshit. I believe that you saying this is going to make you look bad and might make some people want to trust you less.
I am sure you are the person to lecture me about looking bad and losing people's trust ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

Seems like you would have to be a real passionate gun guy to risk potential issues. Its kind of in the same boat as pot being legal in some States but illegal Federally. Who knows what trumped up charges could stem from buying a gun legally with bitcoin(the go to terrorist currency ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) )! For me this seems like a risky option till they come out and say bitcoin will not lead to legal issues down the road. Love my ass to much to pull this off,but good luck and I hope it works out. There is no legal risk to buying firearms with Bitcoin legally via an FFL any more than buying anything else with Bitcoin. What you are talking about is just pure paranoia. The lines being drawn to terrorism tell me I am not to paranoid,more like cautious. Laws/rules change in disruptive times and they may look to people buying guns as a. milita(anti government) or b. terrorists and I do not think its to big a leap for them to make that connection. Europe has now stated it is at war and in those times things become very black and white. Thought you would be with me on this one... ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) You are no more at risk legally buying a gun with Bitcoin than buying a gun with cash. If perhaps you are arguing buying guns is risky then maybe your cautiousness might serve a purpose, but the fact of the matter is how you pay for the gun is 100% between you and the seller. How you obtain possession of it does however interest the government.

abused men should grow a pair, how fo you sit around and allkw a woman smack you about? If she is stronger than you, fund another woman.
This isn't just a matter of who is physically stronger, it is about society as a whole casting men as the default perpetrators. Yeah sure maybe you can defend yourself physically against your wife, but what about the 20 cops that come when she calls the police on you for "beating her" when you defend yourself? Women have an excessive amount of power as far as that is concerned. In many states they don't even need any evidence, just the mere accusation of violence is enough to have you carted off in cuffs and lose your right to own a firearm forever.

I've read many articles claiming that domestic violence coming from women might be more common than we think but we just don't really get to know about it because it's rarely reported. What do you think about this? Could it be real? And if yes, to what extent?
I think it could be real. I've seen several times with my own eyes a wife beating her husband. To what extent is another question. I think that domestic violence is coming from men mostly though. Way to read. People like you are the reason men are allowed to be abused freely. Lots of talking, no reading or thinking. Maybe know what you are talking about before you make assertions. "There are major difficulties in obtaining reliable statistics in this area but mental health studies consistently show that in heterosexual couples only about 25% of the time is domestic violence solely male-on-female. The same studies show that 25-30% of the time the violence is exclusively female-on-male, with the remainder mutual combat. However, one agreeable result emerges from these studies: The safest place for a woman is in her home with the biological father of her children." http://www.familytx.org/research/articles/humanproblem.html

TECSHARE I find it amazing that you have ZERO skin in this game yet you are the loudest one here.
You put my skin in the game by giving me a retaliatory negative rating dipshit. Smart move. The only reason you even have that offer from me is because you had enough sense to PM BAC to try to work something out instead of just shitslinging. Now take one more step toward reason and pay him.

A whole generation of men have been lied to and sold into the feminist narrative because their generation of mothers decided to choose their own self preferential double standards over their own blood. Now these men are growing up and realizing how full of shit their mothers are. Of course they don't want to admit to selling out their own sons to maintain their own position of privilege, and that of the next generation of women partnering with them. In order to do that they would have to examine a lifetime of lying to themselves as well as their loved ones. Chances are that is never going to happen. Cue the crying and refractory accusations and claiming of victim-hood by the perpetrators.

Don't blame BayAreaCoins for this thread, you are 120% to blame. If it was not for you private messaging me trying to slander and harm BayAreaCoin's reputation, I would have never even known about any of this or gotten involved. Furthermore if you had not doubled down on your bullshit by leaving me a retaliatory negative rating this thread would not be here. Instead of just doing what was right and what you agreed to even AFTER BAC gave you a second chance after trying to rip him off with bunk coins and then slandering him, you just decided you would rather sling shit. Now you are covered in shit too. The moral of the story: if you are full of shit don't try slinging it.
BTW the only way my negative ratings are coming off is if: 1. You pay BAC to his satisfaction. 2. You remove your retaliatory negative ratings for him. 3. You remove your retaliatory negative ratings for me.
I don't give a fuck what kind of deal you strike with BAC, not that he is interested in making one. You made this personal with me, so now you have to deal with me. I guess you should have not tried to start shit to begin with huh? This is the last chance you are getting at any sort of mutually restorative offer from me. Try not to waste it like you did with the first one. Or you could just, you know keep all your sales threads locked forever...its up to you. Time is running out. Tick-tock.

I don't think it's anything to do with testosterone. It's about power, control, insecurity and cycles of behaviour. Females are just as prone to that as males.
Well I don't have any proof, sir, it was just a bold naked assertion about the testosterone. Having said that, females might be prone to those things you listed but they certainly don't resort to beatings with nearly the same frequency as men. Again, I am making an assertion with no good evidence but I feel more comfortable with this one. Maybe know what you are talking about before you make assertions. "There are major difficulties in obtaining reliable statistics in this area but mental health studies consistently show that in heterosexual couples only about 25% of the time is domestic violence solely male-on-female.

The problem is there is no uniform enforcement of any of the rules around here and not even any official rules posted. This leaves the doors wide open for abuse, nepotism, and other types of selective enforcement. There is no rule of law here at all, just might makes right, and that certainly never goes bad does it?
Well, technically there is. We are trying out best to make moderation as consistent as possible (in addition to trying something out behind the scenes ATM). There is the Unofficial list of rules which we tend to use as a reference point (among other things). I'm certain that there aren't many examples of inconsistent/bad moderation because of this. Regardless, I think that this is a tad off-topic in your thread, is it not? No, there aren't any official rules. That's why that says "unofficial list of rules". You ask off topic questions, I give reasonable answers. You don't like the answers, suddenly I am off topic. Funny how that works. The rules are for me because I say things you don't like, but lets ignore the fact that you yourself are leading this off topic discussion, and lets forget about all the other off topic posts here I reported which go ignored. If I open a thread for each topic, then I am breaking the rules "spamming threads". What is important is you stop me from bringing these inconsistencies to light, right?

I can't tell you how many times reputable members here have told me in private they don't agree with the actions of staff or other highly ranked people here, but they refuse to get involved because it puts them at risk from being attacked and having their own reputation destroyed for doing so.
Bullshit. Whoever thinks this is very wrong. I can't say much about reputable members as I'm not in DT and don't watch the situation (closely), but the staff will certainly "attack you" if you disagree with them. The moderators tend to have different views among themselves in addition to disagreeing with theymos on certain rules and such. There's nothing wrong with that. The problem is not different views and opinions. The problem is there is no uniform enforcement of any of the rules around here and not even any official rules posted. This leaves the doors wide open for abuse, nepotism, and other types of selective enforcement. There is no rule of law here at all, just might makes right, and that certainly never goes bad does it?

So if the situation is really as bad as you claim, why don't you leave? I mean, if one dislikes this forum I have no idea why they would force themself to stick around.
Perhaps because I have invested five years in building a reputation here, and the entire purpose of these actions was to use that reputation to extort me into following commands that he swears up and down he does not give. If you have no reputation you are just a "scammer" or a "troll", if you have a reputation, then you have something they can take from you. Either way they do what they want and make up the rules as they go along. I can't tell you how many times reputable members here have told me in private they don't agree with the actions of staff or other highly ranked people here, but they refuse to get involved because it puts them at risk from being attacked and having their own reputation destroyed for doing so. I just happen to be in one of the rare circumstances where a member with an impeccable reputation has been put in this position, as a result, they can't just marginalize me as a scammer, so they have to selectively enforce the rules to stop me from speaking out about this abusive behavior and being heard. This all could be prevented by having a terms of service or officially posted rules, but then the people enforcing the rules might also have to follow them. We can't have that now can we?
