Pirate Party Australia is going to be a bit of a shock for you then, because just about everything gets decided out in the open. Transparency is a party fundamental. Get used to it.
Twisty is our Social Media Officer (everyone can tell that because it says so next to his user name in every communication (users can not set that for themselves - it’s an admin function). Twisty is also an elected member of the national council, and you can tell that if you look at the correct web page (https://pirateparty.org.au/national-council/https://pirateparty.org.au/national-council/)
That was not a threat. That was advise that you seem too immature to accept.
You have nominated yourself for the party to support you as a candidate for a federal election, to become a member of parliament. Basic literacy is a requirement in my opinion, and I expect also in the opinions of most party members and most voters. Every message I’ve seen from you so far has contained gross spelling and grammatical errors that were clearly not just messaging abbreviations, while writing in a platform that visually indicates those errors to you as you type.
A threat to shoot him.
When you’re having a disagreement with someone, and you suddenly mention loading your own “300 WM” bullets and that he should let you know if he needs some, then that will be interpreted as a threat, because it clearly is exactly that.
Saying that you don’t know who @twisty is, is entirely beside the point. We do not conduct political discourse here by threatening each other with bullets.
Hi Mateies,
Just so you understand the context regarding my load my own no there is no threat to life or lim, the comment was in refferance to eairler poasts from The Twister.
And the Words are not Magical that was from the same post.
As for Andrew / Daves anial obbsesion with the written word, I know how the Queens Eniglish was beaten into highley educated white boys, but you might want to consider that, the vast majority of Indigenus Australians did not got that same, high standard of education. So, what, they need to pass your spelling test or they have no place in the Pirate Party? Don forget about poor, working class kids whose home life wasn’t great, and learning to read and right wasn’t a high prioty on their survive list.
Where do you imagine the membership of the PPAU will come from? it won’t be the Land Gentry, the Elitist Academics.
You want your forums to active, then don’t attack others or their opinions, just put your view as an alternative, and let the cards lay were they fall, stop trying to run the show, that’s not what Pirates were about. and good luck with your asperations and I dont mean it in the same condersending and smug way you both used it.
I was going to try and Proof Read, but frankly my dears, I dont give a dam.
While I got ya, is there a spell check option on this forum,? I’m not getting those squgglie red lines, whats the go with that Brah.
Wow, pirates are into hunting in national parks? Wtf? Is this some kind of joke?
Tell me it ain’t so!
I’m in the wrong place if it is. There’s nothing in the policy document to this end, so i’m assuming this is a case of throwing ideas around. Thing is though, such a policy would appear to be in stark contrast to existing policies in terms of spirit and intent.
It’s a very bad idea.
And btw…i’m an ‘elitist academic,’ Cizin and I like the pirate party, ‘tis why i’m spending time here. I’m also very familiar with Goldenmane’s work and I agree with you regarding swearing (and your terrible spelling is fine, imo, it’s the ideas that matter although be mindful that sometimes poor spelling can impede comprehension - get that spell checker going).
Anyway, if you are familiar with Goldenmane’s work you may also note that he is very clear on the point that ad hominem comments are completely out of order in any rational discussion. Another thing I agree with Goldenmane about.
I hope i’m not stepping on anyone’s toes, I realise i’m quite new here. Feel free to let me know if I am, i’m still getting used to the forum culture.
Btw…could I suggest an introduction thread might be nice? Just so new participants can say hi and a little about themselves?
I took it as such, by choice. Although, I think you got a bit close to the flame.
lol
Mine looks like this.
I’m bored with this now. @Cizin … Joe, I thought this could have gone one of two ways when I made my first comment. You might have acknowledged my criticism or, you could have reacted to a perceived slight. You did the later and sadly, attacked.
If you just want to be a Pirate then it’s not a big deal. But you want to represent us Pirates … at a federal level … as an elected member of parliament. I will hold you to a higher standard.
What confused me at first was no “sub-forums”, as such. Rather, there are “categories”. And the main page shows most recent replies in date order. I think that’s how it works …
It was Black that directed me here, actually. I might make mention of this forum over there though I suspect for many there is only so much time to be spent on the inter webs.
Rest assured, there is nothing I can see in that policy document that would raise many concerns, and much that might be added.
Btw…I think that policy document is a really decent piece of work. Well done to all who contributed.
Nice to see you, Yeti-like person. It’s been a while.
And, yes, the assessment that maybe there’s only so many minutes in a day is accurate. But I wanted to at least drop by and say hi, given my current sporadic inclination to explore maybe just fucken throwing my hat into the ring.
At least two people here are already familiar with the cut of my obstreperous jib, so maybe I’d be a good fit. I’m open to ideas.
OK, so this thread got pretty heated while I wasn’t watching.
It’s calmed down some, but I’ll ask everyone to not post while angry - take an hour or three, let the grumpy-chemicals in your brain dissipate. The other person will still be wrong when you come back
