This Time On Philosophy Weekly: Chekhov and Plato Play a String Duet
In his dialogue "Phaedo," Plato's representation of Socrates makes the argument for a human "soul," and states that it's somewhat like a harmony from a harp, that is, representative and yet beyond the actual harp itself. In his short story "Ward No. 6," Chekhov's protagonist, Andrey Yefimitch, muses aloud that a broken violin, far from still being represented by a harmony, is just a heap of rubbish, as it's purely physical, so once broken, that's it. Which maestro's song's truer?

Pauses
Will everyone in the game have to hit unpause or will games be forced unpause after 72 hours?

If people don't unpause and there is no forced unpause, how long until we should get a mod involved?

The Poor need jobs not handouts
The overwhelming basis of arguments put forth by supporters of Big Government on this board use "the poor" as a rational for almost everything.
The problem with this line of reasoning is the poor need jobs not handouts.
Handouts keep the poor poor and dependent.

500 Errors.
I think I'm causing them. I have internet explorer set to open it 500 times when I click on the WebDiplomacy link. And since I'm on all the time, I'm constantly refreshing the pages and stuff that crashes servers. Not to mention I know how to hack into the server if I wanted. I'm thinking about doing it just to show all of you how far I could go as the cult of personality here in WebDiplomacy World! Now give me 1200 D now!

Double mute button fail
When a page is loading I can see posts from a certain person I'm muting. When it fully loads they go away. That's fail #1. Fail #2 is that somehow, while a thread that I created was loading, I saw a post from someone I muted. I thought that people you mute can't see your threads?

I just had this wonderful sensation
Its like nothing I've ever felt before...
I just muted Tettleton’s Chew, and I have to say, its like a burden was lifted from my shoulders. Its…its like there’s one less idiot in the world, and on top of that it makes the forum look a hell of a lot nicer and more….sane. I’m kicking myself for not doing this earlier.

Am I the only one who hasn't muted him?
I have to say trolling has been a lot less entertaining since the mute buttons arrived.
King Atom (100 D)

I haven't muted him, I find his rantings kind of humorous.
He's the only one I have muted. I don't really want to make a habit of muting people. But he muted me first, and rather than humor me, his postings angered me because of their sheer ignorance. I mean, I agree with him on some things, but his arguments are so ill-conceived and he doesn't accept any sort of criticism. I am a much calmer person without reading them haha

TC has had one quality post; it was the thing on how taxes impact sports teams in the NBA. I still haven't muted him though.

@ goldfinger - I know EXACTLY how you feel. Normally I welcome disagreements and alternate points of view so that I have something to spar against, but Tettleton's Chew is just so infuriatingly ignorant and misinformed, and so pigheaded he will never concede a point. He's not worth debating as he doesn't actually know how to debate.

I haven't muted Tettleton, sometimes his ramblings can be funny. I don't really care if he has muted me or not. Though to test out the mute feature, I did mute him, and I can understand how you feel goldfinger.

is it possible for tc to post here?
I do wonder if people can be banned for spamming, but I don't think so. Its such a tricky thing for the mods to implement. Oh well, if enough people mute him, he'll have no one to talk to but himself.
If he muted me, then he can't see this thread or any of my posts here haha
You know what's even better than muting Tettleton? Muting Tettleton... ON WEED.

why bother muting? If your here to participate in political debates isn't it counter intuitive to mute the person who your debating with?

@goldfinger0303: I thought you were a republican, or am I mistaken?
I haven't actually muted anyone. I prefer to not miss out on the insane ramblings. If you mute them, you'll get confused about what other people are responding to.
I am right leaning, yes, but Tet is an extremist imo, and, as has been pointed out before cannot be reasoned with, cannot participate in an argument without attacking everyone else, and cannot even conduct a proper debate. Tet's ideology has nothing to do with why I'm muting him, because as I said earlier, I agree with him on many points
