Editor banned after Shoemoney extortion

Some people are really interested in the ODP and improving it and not everybody is there just to sell some links or add couple of affiliate links as you are.

 

You are quite a guy aren't you? Sort of a cross between Mother Teresa and the Scarlet Pimpernel

 

You're quite a guy, too. Sort of a cross between Moe, Larry, and Curly with a little Jerry Lewis thrown in.

Why are you still here? You still haven't answered that repeated question.

 

You say that as if you are not one of the people trying to improve it...

 

Sure I thought I had. Mainly it was that someone needed to stand up to the bullies here, like Julian and others. Pretty much every one who has come here that did not agree with the approved party line has had crosses burnt on their front yard, and have been chased across the fields by an angry lynch mob. I've got a pretty thick skin and I am here to stay (unless the moderators say otherwise). And If I can expose some of the most outrageous stupidity that gets posted here well that might be OK as well.

Now you aint goin to do anything with that ol pitch fork are ya?

 

With editalls with high morals like Julian I think that the ODP is in safe hands.

 

With how you talk about him in other posts, saying that the ODP is safe in his hands once again shows you care nothing for what DMOZ is.

And with posts like that how are you not an ex-ed?

 

And vice versa, editors who dares post here something that even remotely sounds to be against meta oligarchy is risking of becoming ex-editor very quickly - this must be that freedom of speech which Americans are so proud of - you have picked up some very bad habits from the old continent.

 

Believe me or not I don't care, but no editor has ever been removed for criticizing the ODP in a reasonable way either here, in other public forums, or in the internal forums.

However I do agree in so far there has been a tendency for editors to become defensive very quickly and constructive criticism which can be very helpful has traditionally not been well received. But things are changing and editors and as current editors will confirm there is a willingness to listen to varying opinions, especially from staff.

 

How should we know this ? How is change happening ? Does staff not manipulate the foot soldiers anymore ? Will the ODP be more transparent ?

 

To answer: You don't, a renewed interest in the ODP by AOL, not sure that I agree that they ever have, and maybe.

 

Only metas have access to removal reasons and no other mortal can know removal reasons so if you claim this you must be a meta, now we only need to figure out which one you are...

Why does this sounds like something coming from Dilbert's boss?

 

Is that so you good ole boys can find the correct front yard to burn the cross on?

 

Cross burning? Sorry I'm not from South so I don't know much what you people do for fun there other then what I have seen in the movies, I'm from old continent and we are too busy constantly fighting amongst ourself to pay much attention to anyone else!

 

A-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!!! Now that's rich, nebby.

Of course, you do qualify the statement with the very subjective (i.e., defined by metas and admins) phrase "in a reasonable way"...

More evidence of how far out of touch with reality DMOZ people are... where is there any evidence whatsoever, even a hint, that AOL gives a damn whether DMOZ dies, maintains the status quo, collapses under its own weight, ot even exists?

 

All in good time, because you want to know now is just a bit unfortunate, because you aint gonna find out. But change is afoot in many ways, but seeing as how you have chosen not to believe me before, why should you now?

 

yes you have an excellent way of twisting words, nice to find something good to say.

Reread to see that I commented, you told us that it was full of corruption.

 

If you need proof that it is full of corruption, here is the proof:

Buy links in DMOZ with review of seller service.

 

tell me someone who has managed it. All that glistens is not gold. You could set up that service and list with your editall account? Both fictitious.

 

If you want me to believe you you'll need to give me proof. OH NO WAIT... it's only non-editors that have to deal with such a silly notion as proof. You are above that, my deepest apologies.

I bought a link from Motsa so that I could get an ODP listing. I expect action to be taken. My proof is "because I said so" which is all the proof you've given us.

And you not only didn't deny it, you said that someone you claim to be vial should be an editor there!

But of course as you all keep telling us Adult is full of corruption, so by that definition he would belong there.​
