I deleted the error.Karen must really be putting a lot of pressure on you to "handle Alanzo".
That was my LOL.
And a well-deserved one, too.

Yes, you are quite correct. ESMB has an important role in helping newly out and almost in people.You surprise me Bill (by your "LOL.")
ESMB's primary purpose is to help others -including newbies - not to be a circle jerk for handful of old members.
Thanks for the clarification.Yes, you are quite correct. ESMB has an important role in helping newly out and almost in people.
I "LOL"'d because the whole idea of Alanzo having any influence, good or bad, is amusing. He actually doesn't make any sense. He makes vague insinuations, makes arbitrary generalizations and attacks Scientology critics. He might make a newbie a bit confused as to what the heck Alanzo is doing here but, in reality, he's basically "off topic".
A newby, reading all the various comments and viewpoints, should be reassured that we tolerate a wide variety of viewpoints, even off-the-wall-Alanzo comments.
Does Alanzo's defense of Marty damage newbies? I don't think so. Does Alanzo's absolutism on anti-Scientologists and anti-cultists damage newbies? That's what they get from Scientology so, I don't think it's a problem.
You could say that Alanzo represents the Church of Scientology's viewpoint here on ESMB. A newbie can see, right here, how absurd that viewpoint is, because we can respond here. We can point out the illogics, the lies, the misinformation, the weird conclusions, the lack of true data. I think he provides a service.
I think it's best to provide a variety of viewpoints and let people make up their own minds. I think you are all doing that. I think it's good.Yes, you are quite correct. ESMB has an important role in helping newly out and almost in people.

Jeez, again with the labeling.Now you're being a troll and creating noise, and those impulsively responding to you are troll enablers.
You've repeatedly avoided my questions and my posts because you can't counter them intelligently, and if you were to try to counter them you'd look foolish.
It's time to start ignoring Alanzo before this MB become a junk yard.

How does this look to people newly discovering ESMB?
What she says.A junk yard? How is it becoming a junk yard exactly?
What are you so worried about? People searching for answers don't really want one sided discussion. They want to see things thrashed out. They want to see multiple viewpoints so they can make their own minds up.
Why do you think I let Andy Nolch post his videos? He posts them, you criticise. It's how it works.
What did you think of ESMB allowing FZ posts from Terril? Did you view it as a "Pro Scientology board" because that was allowed?What she says.
Before I started posting here in 2009, I must have spent TWO YEARS just reading and reading and reading... Wow, good times! Good threads! Loads of banter, loads of heated moments!
Loved. Every. God. Damn. Minute. Of. It.

That's amazing. I cannot either confirm or deny, but you may have made me cry a little just now.Was i ever bothered by all this back then? Hell no! I came from an environment where even thinking about these sort of things was a big nono! It was so unbelievable refreshing to see people having different opinions about the tech! You know I actually cried meself to sleep over it several times! that such a thing did actually exist! Free fucking people! My tribe!
This belongs in the "Unpopular Opinions" threadI've found it refreshing lately to be able to read through entire threads like this with their varied viewpoints without encountering the ubiquitous Helluvahoax posts that used to interrupt most threads with the apparent purpose of getting likes and lols for the poster.
Yeah, I know. I was just contributing to the motion.This belongs in the "Unpopular Opinions" thread
Edit:
Oh wait, this IS the unpopular opinions thread.
Yes, I agree.You could say that Alanzo represents the Church of Scientology's viewpoint here on ESMB.
Because he's an attention junkie. The way he gets attention is by annoying people. He'll take attention any way he can get it, and being a pain in the ass is the easiest way.Even when shit exploded around him he seemed so cheerful about it.
Isn't that trolling?Because he's an attention junkie. The way he gets attention is by annoying people. He'll take attention any way he can get it, and being a pain in the ass is the easiest way.
By that argument, do you also consider everyone else who seemed cheerful when shit exploded around them back in those days in 2007-2009 to be attention junkies?Because he's an attention junkie. The way he gets attention is by annoying people. He'll take attention any way he can get it, and being a pain in the ass is the easiest way.
Yes we've had a few of these come and go.Because he's an attention junkie
If that is your measure, isn't HH an attention junkie/troll?Isn't that trolling?
Paul
The first step is admitting to yourself that you are an attention junkie.By that argument, do you also consider everyone else who seemed cheerful when shit exploded around them back in those days in 2007-2009 to be attention junkies?
Am I an attention junkie? I mean I love the attention you're giving me right now! Is that bad? Should I stop? Seek help? Is there an attention junkie support group somewhere where I can sit down and get over meself?
