Like most of you, I am a refugee from RVF forums. Unlike most of you, my problems with RVF started long before this recent (and likely contrived) "conversation" to religious blue-pillism. (Roosh himself winks at his phony new-found faith with his tongue-in-cheek post of proposed acceptable thread titles, including "hug-closing" girls and "how many chaperoned dates should you have before proposing").
Regardless of what motivated this most unwelcome change of perspective, it is arguably NOT the worst thing that happened to RVF. The worst thing that happened to RVF was when Roosh and several other moderators (Tuthmosis being the most obvious) got drunk with their new-found "power" and threatened to ban people simply for disagreeing with them. This is NOT the way to run a men's forum. This is, in fact, the way feminists administer their forums, with comment-moderation to screen out views that don't reinforce the shaky self-confidence of their members and with quick exiles of anyone with opposing ideas.
We have an opportunity to be better on this forum. I don't advocate for the wild west - anyone who posts something illegal, or dangerous, or which could get the forum shut down, SHOULD be censored. But disagreeing with another poster, or a mod,or even the forum founder?? Banning someone for that is, well, girlish. If you don't agree with someone's idea, if you believe your idea is superior, why not debate it? Let the LOGIC of your arguments overwhelm the other's ideas. THAT'S what MEN do! It's not hard to point out coldly and dispassionately where you believe someone else to be fault. Closing your eyes and covering your ears so you can' hear the painful (though true) ideas of another (which is all "banning" is) is what little girls do. It is a knee-jerk, EMOTIONAL response. Girls and women do that, and if we allowed society to be driven by that, we'd still be living in caves and shitting in the woods. MEN use LOGIC, and it is responsible for everything you see around you: Male logic built the skyscrapers we live in, the planes we fly in, the highways we drive on, and the advanced medicine that saves lives. Men who weren't afraid of having their ideas challenged, and if it so happened that another idea was better, they admitted it and adopted the better idea, and the world was better for it.
Let's do that here. Let's make this a platform for FREE SPEECH. Let a thousand flowers bloom - the best ideas will prevail and the worst will fade away. Let's NOT have power-happy mods who need to stifle speech they don't agree with, because it hurts their feewings. Or worse, who ban people to get a power rush. I appeal to the mods here: Run this site as it could be, and it will soon become what it should be: A prominent bastion of free speech, where IDEAS prevail, where FREEDOM reigns, and where petty emotional tyranny is suppressed. In short, it can be a MANLY place.
