I suggest that we use each forum exclusively for a couple of days, before making final discussion.

...
I too favor this forum now. I liked Reddit for almost every other reason, except that it won't show the latest posts and comments anywhere. For our style of conversations, that is a deal breaker. I realized what an important functionality that is when TW submitted one of her long comments on an obscure thread last night, and nobody knew about it until she posted a separate thread to announce it. That won't work for us at all.

I thank Rashmun for posting the above link (
https://such.forumotion.com/t83-reddit-vs-forumotion-please-vote-by-monday-may-2nd ). I was looking for that very thread. For one thing, the above post that Rashmun quoted clearly states the reasons for my bias towards the other forum. It was definitely not to be a moderator like Rashmun falsely accused me in the other thread ( https://such.forumotion.com/t1215-someprofile ). As usual, it was extremely easy to debunk Rashmun's stupid accusation by showing that I was going to remove myself as moderator if we chose Reddit ( https://such.forumotion.com/t64-question-3-who-else-will-be-admin#423 ).

Secondly, on that very same thread Rashmun has linked, I said the following two things that he conveniently ignored:

Finally, I have no personal prejudice against Rashmun at all. Not especially because for some stupid forum-selection disagreement. He cannot comprehend this due to the fact that he is extremely prejudicial himself on most matters. It is simply not possible for him to imagine that someone would be totally open-minded and non-prejudicial.

Whimsical behavior like what, beta? Hack into someone's microwave oven, use it to take their photos and post them on a porn site? Is that what you are afraid a moderator can do?

FYI, the only things a moderator can do on Reddit are ban a poster and delete a post. If I did either of those things, people would have simply left the forum. What do you think, I say? I am stupid-a?

LOL @ reprimand! You thought I remembered that after all these days and am now taking revenge on you? Because of that reprimand, I am raping moms, killing fathers and separating brothers and sisters?

A typical "smoth" Rashmunesque way of "creating" facts by appearing to be some holy gentleman.

One question regarding rashmun's post: TWO differing opinions ? where ? whose? rashmun never had an opinion. So who are these TWO people? SP and ????

Rashmun makes the CEO look like a genius.
