$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Unconventional Ideas', 'W')hy are they allowed?
I don't know that there are any. Everyone here believes in peak oil, its one of those definitional things, of COURSE oil will peak. CERA admits it, Lynch admits it, the US government has been admitting it since at least 1919, peak oil is actually the one thing everyone AGREES on.
Its the semi-religious hysterical consequences thing where the problem seems to reside.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Unconventional Ideas', '
')Isn't there a moderator to keep them out?
Why would they want to do that? Have you even seen what the other groupthink centers on peak oil are like once you make sure that no one except the anointed are permitted to speak? Its awful.....same people, saying the same thing...until yet another prediction becomes historical non-fact...then they make up another one....rinse and repeat. You would think they are goldfish it's so bad.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Unconventional Ideas', '
')I don't see the point of allowing them here. Am I missing something?
Yes. This isn't a latoc groupthink clone. There are 5 available for the church members ex-communicated by latoc, I've provided links to all of them elsewhere. Would you like to know where they are, that you may commune among only the faithful of a particular congregation? I'll need a little more info to be able to direct you properly, are you interested in the Amish wanna be angle (lots of gardening advice, old style farming)? Or Doomer lite (no swearing, no heavy gun nuts, no tinfoil but being depressed and worried is okay)? Doomer heavy(the world was ending last week, its ending this week, its ending tomorrow, yada yada yada)? Nonstop tinfoil alien stuff (aliens rule the world, NASA hides the aliens, alien technology was used by BP to plug the leak in the Gulf, the Mayans were aliens)? Doomer Brit (married ex-latocians, pretend to be nice, links to recycled energy bulletin and tod stuff, no new thought, pretend happiness and light...with some Doom talk)?
All offer plenty of censorship to any new or critical thought, will ban anyone who doesn't sing in the choir, and in tune, its all quite comfortable for any peaker who doesn't want to be confronted with the horrifying reality of peak oil, i,e, a year long recession then back to normal.
