That is quite an unfortunate comment.

It is a direct violation of the pyramid of debate.

Thank you

How so?

It upsets my core values to some degree. To justify repeated expulsion from chat, you'd first have to really take a look at one's own conduct to see if actually, there are grounds to suggest that we all fall foul of the grounds for dismissal, and you'd also have to assess this in line with the main site itself which has more of a forgiving aspect to it, a civilised acceptance of Ed's unusual ways. That's not to say I agree or disagree with a kick, a ban or a mute in exceptional circumstances, after all people have their moments. But at what point do the kickers deserve to be kicked and the kicked deserve a chance to behave? Perhaps I'm just getting complacent and prefer to watch the disfunctional banter of a few social misfits engrossed in conflict drama than sit in silence in a near empty chat on a dying platform.🤷

Ed hasn't been chatting though, just logging chat and harassing people in the forum.

you are the owner of the chat.. you are supposed to act like a leader.. a true leader, when faced with problems, he doesnt make excuses... a true leader accepts responsibility for WHATEVER happened, because it happened under his leadership.

i have faith that you can do it.

i study counseling and i study intelligence.


User:

when someone says that they study intelligence and that they also study counseling, what does that mean to you, and are there benefits to studying both intelligence and counseling together?

ChatGPT:

Studying intelligence and counseling together can mean that the person is interested in exploring the relationship between human intelligence, psychological well-being, and how intelligence factors into the counseling process. Here's what it might mean:

Understanding Human Behavior: Integrating the study of intelligence with counseling can help individuals gain a deeper understanding of how cognitive abilities and intelligence may influence a person's behavior, emotions, and decision-making processes. This can be particularly useful for counselors in assessing and working with clients.

Tailoring Counseling Approaches: By studying intelligence alongside counseling, individuals may develop the skills to tailor counseling approaches and interventions based on a client's cognitive abilities and strengths. Different clients may require different strategies, and understanding their intelligence can help in providing more effective guidance and support.

Assessment and Diagnosis: Knowledge of intelligence can be valuable when conducting assessments and diagnosing various mental health conditions. Understanding a client's cognitive functioning can aid in distinguishing between issues related to intelligence and those related to mental health.

Enhanced Empathy and Communication: A well-rounded education that includes both intelligence and counseling studies may lead to improved communication skills and greater empathy. Counselors who understand the complexities of intelligence may be better equipped to establish rapport with their clients and foster a more supportive therapeutic relationship.

Research Opportunities: This combination of studies may also open up research opportunities to explore topics related to intelligence and counseling. Researchers could investigate how intelligence impacts the effectiveness of counseling interventions, the role of emotional intelligence in counseling, and more.

Holistic Approach: Studying both intelligence and counseling may promote a more holistic approach to mental health and well-being. It encourages individuals to consider the cognitive and emotional aspects of a person's life simultaneously, which can lead to more comprehensive and effective counseling.

In summary, combining the study of intelligence and counseling can provide a unique perspective on the intersection of cognitive functioning and psychological well-being. The benefits include improved counseling strategies, better assessment and diagnosis, enhanced communication skills, research opportunities, and a more holistic approach to helping individuals address their mental health and personal development needs.

Zommy is complaining I am depriving him of someone to talk to. I am explaining that I am not. You're just being a pest.

the bottom line is that you are a drunk and drunks rarely appreciate their shortcomings while they are drinking.

you are not acting like a leader... you being in the "owner's" position in the chat IS NOT about your hanging out with your friends and banning those that are not your friends. being a leader is about leading.

maybe you just dont have what it takes, but i havent lost hope yet.

i could tell you how to be a leader, but having leadership qualities is either something you have or you do not.

go do your job.

You seem confused as to why you get kicked. You're a disruptive little shit heel. Always trying to fuck shit up.

your ship is slowly sinking and i tried to help you.

well, you are on your own now.

bottom line, you are NOT a manager and you are not a leader that is capable to run a board of directors.

now run along and go back to the chat and spend your days banning socks and arguing with weegs and ....

bye now.

i have taken so much abuse since the day i arrived at this forum, and i dont really want to cover those issues again, but i will briefly..

i have receved physical threats from musky that he was planning to come to where i live and "to hurt me" and then after he had made this threat multiple times i called his bluff and told him to come and get it.. he responded by reminding me that because i am a felon that i cant have guns but that he has guns. oh my gawd.

i have also listened to musky write in the chat that he might like to "go to mexico and fuck my daughter"..

i have also seen musky repeatedly bash me telling me to tell everyone "why did i abandon my children and my family"..

on and on and on and on.

when i remind them that these types of words are obviously not aligned with the pyramid of debate, they try to tell me that the chat is a separate entity from the forum and therefor does not operate according to the pyramid of debate, which is most likely pure nonsense.

i read on reddit where /u/magnora7 wrote that he felt like this website is able to scale up to handling a million users... not with these people at the helm.. they run off more people than you could imagine.

they kick people and ban people regularly.. for each person that they kick from the forum, they also lose any word of mouth business that those users might have produced... and it goes exponential.

it is my opinion that if this website had a management team that could remain neutral and not manage based on their own personal beliefs/etc, this website would have literally tens of thousands of active users, but as we sit we get almost a hundred users showing up daily.

and, that whole "we hate niggers and we hate jews" bullshit should not be pushed onto others that dont ride in that car.. yes, they are regularly going on and on about that in the chat.


/u/musky is a drunk with a big mouth, period.

/u/melodic_programmer

/u/jet199

/u/alphix

/u/zommy

/u/vulptex

/u/gravi

/u/larryswinger

i find it amusing that after being in business for several years that the above list is the only real hard core regulars at this forum.. and that is entirely because they dont sit down and form a team and make plans to operate as a functional company...

this forum should be doing an IPO by now and raising millions to setup a real datacenter.
