I understand...but I don't really care. There are many forums and many ways to express myself. If I am not wanted here, I will gladly go. But for some reason, I came back.


You are entitled to your opinions and you are welcome to share them here if you want to talk about them.

All I ask is that everything be civil and I will endeavor to do the same.

I don't class myself as a 'Social Justice Warrior' to be honest, but neither am I anti-feminist, reactionary or conservative. I have left leaning libertarian views that are anti-capitalist and have read extensively on feminism and post-structuralism/structuralism etc. I don't get along with the Social Justice community as I hold views that they disagree with and they usually refuse to talk about them, they can be just as bad as those they point the finger at.

I don't like identity politics and criticise it often. I don't fall into traps that lead to tribalism and I certainly don't associate people with others they have never interacted with simply because they say similar things, I try my best to talk about things and I try to distance myself from sensitive topics so that I can talk about in an intellectual way, some may see this as 'cold hard logic', but all I am interested in is actually knowing what something means and how it relates to other ideas.

I hope you stay and that you continue to contribute to the forum. I was thinking of nominating you for member of the month when the nominations open tomorrow actually. :)


I agree and apologize wholeheartly with my comments. Sometimes my gut brain goes off and my brain just follows as I believe the gut brain is the key to self-awareness....anyways. I will stay because I was really thinking about you guys and how much you guys helped me. I wouldn't have created "it" without this forum. Thank you.

Really glad you got something out of the forum and I feel the same way.When I opened the forum, I made a post 'Hi, I am the admin' and in that I mention how talking about philosophy can seem personal sometimes, I completely empathise with you on that.

A forum is a place to test your ideas, but it's also a community where we make friends. I wanted to create a place where people could search on Google, find a thread on here and see loads of contrasting points of view that will hopefully give them lots of information.

You are most welcome and without members, a forum can't grow. The more differing points of view, the better, we are all different and I don't agree with censorship, or starting hate campaigns and I only ever use the moderator tools when someone is being really disruptive, threatening or spamming/trolling.
