Miles is a jerk and CTTF is off putting. 🤢

So someone gets butthurt at a piece of crap forum that barely functions at a 1990s tech level, and that makes Miles a jerk? In my opinion, FWIW, 90% of CTTF and this forum's posters are like flies buzzing around horse shit. The other 10% almost never post any more because they don't being around like shit infested flies.

There has to be a reason Miles and Josh stick with CTTF, because it sure ain't because its a superior platform. We tried "real" forums, and neither of them are interested in participating.

Mmm, after a prolonged silence I feel like I need to offer a counterpoint to this thread. Joey do we not see a lighthearted approach in this message at CTTF "https://cuttingthroughthefog.com/2018/11/09/current-events-discussion-thread/comment-page-177/#comment-228794".

I mention this because it tends to falsify the notion that lightheartedness itself is the issue. Tony has even posted this video before, and the brooklyn kid routine predates any recent inflation I think. Not buying starbucks is not really a huge sacrifice to make, it represents only profanity laden comedy.

Also, you mention a "culty" aspect to CTTF. Can you elaborate at length please? I don't think you had much to say about this accusation, what is the basis for your perception of "culty".

Trying to get me to fill in the details of what YOU see is evasive. "culty aspect" is still pretty vague even with "held up as special" or "irreproachable". You don't want to elaborate on what you see unless you are preaching to someone who already agrees with your perceptions? You don't know what I see on this topic, that much is clear to me at this point!

This idea that a poster with a lighthearted approach is treated bad, just sounds false at this point. There is something else going on

I'll add that "in your face censorship" has been in the rules since before I arrived at CTTF, surprised to find almost nobody seems to be familiar with that. Posting guidelines at the top of every page and the Warning to spooks topic section have plenty to say about what brings an insta-ban.

I resonate with Joey and Dtox here.

Joey mentions Cultish. It's been over a year since I was banned from CTTF. A couple of times before my banning, I suggested that the CTTF forum members were treating Miles too much like a Guru. That's what Cults do. They have Gurus, one guru per cult. Gurus are infallible, can do no wrong. To criticize a guru is verboten. Miles is probably a genius, just like he says, but, hey, I'm a genius too and most of the folks here and on CTTF probably are too. But we don't need a guru.

Dtox suspects Miles and Josh of being controlled opposition, I take it. I haven't come to that conclusion, though it's possible. Miles complains often about being suppressed by the search engines, and then sort of brags about not needing them, since word of mouth is superior. I think I may have brought up on CTTF back in the day that if the ruling class really wanted to suppress Miles' influence, they could surely do it easily. So the reason he continues to have influence must be because some part of the ruling class wear white hats, or because Miles is controlled opposition, even if he doesn't know it.

Actually, everyone has genius potential. Glenn Doman proved it with brain-injured kids at the Institute for the Achievement of Human Potential in Philadelphia. IAHP.org. His patterning method helped many such kids achieve superior intelligence.

PS, I'm glad to see more activity here, though I don't have a lot of time to spend here myself.

Nobody has evebn a brief synopsis? I'm supposed to believe things have gotten culty recently as opposed to when I showed up two years ago? This is my cue to abandon political considerations and rip to shreds all the poor reasoning presented in this thread. I feel like those posting in this thread don't need another wall of text from me and would rather I remain silent. Still, I honestly believe I have insights on this topic that are worth considering and could be of benefit to those on the outs with Miles and CTTF.
