Some guy that uses the same avatar that I do, posted over on IFERS. It is the first avatar available if you use a face, and if you don't change the face. So I was lazy and took the first one, and that guy apparently was lazy and did the same. And that lazy dude is talking about a "higher self", which is against my Biblical beliefs anyway. And Eric should know that. Yet Eric insisted on thinking it was me, and actually calling out the guy. Shooting himself in the foot with yet another person trying to support him. Eric is crazy. But Eric must be reading this board all the time. I just made that my avatar like a day and a half ago.

That's right, @jess: ifers.boards.net/thread/156/mark-sargent-raging-shill-clues?page=2&scrollTo=3513Thanks Jess, I mean "whoknew." It's an amazing (serendipitous) coincidence that you have the same avatar as FE shill "Jess" Welcome to the forum! Let's see if you prove yourself to be a genuine human being or just another one of Acenci's multiple personalities. Peace And since we are not like him, ruthless and all that, we are ready to accept him here as a member. We are ready to separate our view of him as an ill-tempered person from his work as a researcher. Many of us understood flat earth for the first time from his documentary. He doesn't even need to apologize. By now he has banned so many of his well-meaning fans that we don't even feel hurt anymore.

He actually fits the stereotype that the world makes about "conspiracy theorists". Paranoid that everyone is out to get him, no matter what they say.

If he were smart, here's my advice to him. You've got over 300 members there and potentially a lot of traffic. It could become the best flat earth forum there is.
Get some good tolerant moderators who will patrol the forum (each moderator with his sub-section) and ensure:
1) mutual respect 2) serious tone (no joking around, no smileys allowed)
Then unban all the dozens of members whom you have banned and accused of being "shills". Write one post apologizing to all of them at once.
Make peace with everyone, including all the famous truthers (e.g. Mark Sargent) you have accused of being shills, without being certain about it - partly you lost your temper out of jealousy (which I understand given all the years you have worked on the subject, but your bad temper is counterproductive).
The alternative is to keep allowing our forum to grow at your expense. Every day we get one new member thanks to your behavior. Eventually you will always have your 3 fans, and hundreds of banned users.
You can't call IFERS a "forum" and ban those who respectfully disagree with you (and without antagonizing you), according to your fits of anger. I never even said "you're wrong about this" but only "maybe Sargent is not a shill". Let alone the others who were responsible of even smaller crimes.
Another tip: make someone else the administrator. Someone who will let everyone join and not ban anyone unless they're disrespecting other members. Make your forum about "peace" and not just your signature.

Acenci, how is Mark not a shill? Why do you call him a famous truther? How has he deserved that title? You're too generous with your compliments. Maybe the right word is not a shill, but he strikes me as a bullshit artist.

Thanks for the respectful disagreement. I am not being generous. He seems like a very polite person and has given me both reasons to suspect him and to think that he might be just a very nice person. Here's my analysis of the points in favor of one and the other hypothesis: serendipitous.boards.net/post/152/threadFor my minute-by-minute comments (and others') on previous Mark Sargent's interviews, please go here: ifers.boards.net/thread/41/interview-mark-sargentAs a summary, my clues pro-shill theory are: 1) too many interviews in just 2 weeks where radio hosts say "I just came across your video and started considering flat earth..." 2) too much talking about "dome builders" and non-Christian expressions such as "whoever created this" and then he quickly answered UNreal's question at his first fakeologist interview, "are you a Christian?", with "yes!". That sounds insincere given everything else he has been saying. The non-shill clues are: 1) he sounds very sincere 2) he is very polite via email to unknown fans 3) he talks about his personal life all the time, people, family, places 4) he provides personal details in each of his videos, such as phone number, house address, and email... Now, you may be tempted to say flat earth truth always has an alternative hypothesis for everything, but this is not the case. I believe the earth to be flat, and I believe 1+1=2, and I believe 911 was an inside job, and chemtrails exist... and have many more opinionated opinions (much more than average). But I do not have the certainty that Mark Sargent is a shill. That is why I was kicked out of IFERS by the way.

OK, so here's the reply. Thanks for the detailed feedback, @lizardking (you're welcome to join us when you will be banned): ifers.boards.net/post/3535/threadThis is the best comment acenci has made yet. These are the words of a truly desperate man, teetering on the edge. Less than two weeks since being banned, he is already desperate and begging to be allowed back onto the forum. "If he were smart, here's my advice to him. You've got over 300 members there and potentially a lot of traffic. It could become the best flat earth forum there is. Get some good tolerant moderators who will patrol the forum (each moderator with his sub-section) and ensure: 1) mutual respect 2) serious tone (no joking around, no smileys allowed) Then unban all the dozens of members whom you have banned and accused of being "shills".

Make your forum about "peace" and not just your signature." They know how powerful this forum is and that's why they are scraping the bottom of the barrel looking for any excuse to somehow run this place. Acenci, none of these things are going to happen. You will stay on your piece of shit shill forum boring yourselves to death having to argue about the Flat Earth when it is of no interest to you and you will never be unbanned, no matter how many guises you come back under or how many posts you make pleading with Eric. It is pitiful that this is the best tactic someone employed by the government can come up with. Please keep on making the comments though, they give us all a real good laugh.

IFERS is pathetic. They actually believe that was me. And they actually believe we want back into a racist, hateful, paranoid tiny group of people that think everybody but them is "employed by the government". They are suffering from delusions of grandeur.

Yes, delusions of grandeur, and we might not be immune from it. The greater our belief in our ideals, the greater the risk. They really seem to be blinded by their beliefs.
Well, if they all changed personality, they would not be intolerant anymore. We would have achieved a great objective. We would not be going back to a "racist, hateful, paranoid" group, but to one that has apologized to everyone, that has changed attitude and personality. Maybe it won't happen, but I see no other way out for them. They can't keep on going this way. Their theories are just too unpopular to be as intolerant as mainstream media is. I am not saying their theories are necessarily wrong, but they cannot afford to have such minority beliefs and on top of it be so intolerant, because in such a way they will never manage to convince anyone and make a difference, which would seem their objective. Let alone their objective of "peace", which they certainly will not achieve with their present attitude.

Hi Jess,
I'm so glad that I've found you! I was so upset you got banned! I loved your posts.
I found you here because Eric linked it up at his site. So glad he did!
I'm really new to this FE stuff, but it makes so much more sense. Would you believe a mocking atheist directed me on this path.
I'm really looking forward to talking to you guys here!!!

Thanks for joining us. Unfortunately Jess left us a few days ago (without any warnings, explanations nor leaving any contacts), and since then, the forum has been lagging in participation. I hope Jess will return. Thanks for joining us. There is still Lion here, who was one of @jess's favorite members, for sharing views on Christianity and the Bible. In fact, there was one complaint by Jess, about the fact that some members shared different points of view and it was tiring and unpleasant to have to debate with them all the time. I won't mention their names, to not cause any further conflicts. I defended those members in the name of freedom of speech and mutual respect, but if Jess got tired about the arguments, I can still understand that point of view as well. However, since we were lacking those two values at IFERS, I fought hard to implement them here, although I didn't realize that there was a risk of losing founding members of this forum. I would not have criticized them as frequently, had I known they were about to leave. I thought we would all agree on these values. Unfortunately I was slightly wrong. And I went on a witch hunt for mutual respect, so now everyone is gone.

Thank you Acenci!
I understand that it's hard to keep everyone happy.
And its a fine line sharing the truth while not offending.
I hope so too!

Because ALL flat earth forum administrators are inadequate to say the least (intolerant, rude, unjust, etc.). After giving them a chance for 1, 2, 3, 4 forums, I was forced to create my own forum here: fsr.boards.net/

I am sure you're very tolerant, polite and just. Of course, that is only before you start interpreting what people say as personal insults, then you would badmouth everyone in return. Of course, that is justified, because you're the victim who never deserved the treatment. Just because you carefully choose your insults doesn't make you very kind and polite. Not to mention that you use all forums to advertise yourself in one way or another, and much less to debunk or analyze the problem at hand. The forums are not about you! You keep looking at them as a place where you would be valued. That is not the idea of a forum. The idea is to exchange ideas and argue for and against them.

I got banned again on ifers.boards.net/ on the general discussion for asking if flat earth ever gets mainstream I begin to think, that it's only Eric who is posting on there forums

LIT, but discussion first of all requires tolerance. And you don't have that in you, because you think your opinions are the truth, and others are "trolling", as you say all the time. So, I ask you, as I gave you a chance for 6 weeks, to now give me a chance as administrator and join my forum. Regarding getting offended, since I am administrator, I've already written on the constitution of FSR that I will not get offended because there is a risk of abusing my power: fsr.boards.net/post/1/thread
