Time to Vote, Speak Your Mind...

[DigitalBuddha]

Dudes, I have called for a vote at.........

http://dudeism.com/smf/under-the-influences/think-like-a-koan!-what-is-the-question-to-which-this-is-the-answer/msg44644/?topicseen#new

Please cast your ballot.

Well you've got to give a dude a chance! I just seen the vote thing but you closed the thread already! For fucks sakes!

NO!! I wanted to keep it open....Let the guy vent and have his say...what is this? Is this a...what day is this this again...he's not harming us he's not trying to scam us...he's just being a dick....if we didn't reply then he wouldn't post....

I've said this before and it was ignored.

So what happens here? A dude who is a dude perchance...has some radical ideas and some people don't like it....(I don't like the Jesus) so we shut it down...

Paraquats....that's not tolerant...that's not dudeist....that's not what I signed up for.

Come on dudes we're better than that!

But you're not....you simply closed the thread and didn't give me (at least) the time to get on board and vote.

Peace dudes.

Last I looked it was open. I didn't close it, lemme take a look.


Yup, it's closed. I believe in honoring the decisions of other admins, so closed it is. 

[Caesar dude]

It's closed to me for sure...

[Caesar dude]

Ok so the admins had a vote...no one else!

Well that's a crock of shit.... Let's hasve a vote....oh no...lets just not do that and as admins...we'll shut it down...

This is shite!

I don't exactly follow what the guy was saying...in fact I think he was being a dick....but I honestly think he had his own perspective and his own point of view..1...2.... and three...it was up to us agree or disagree...

He wasn't pushing a xian agenda despite his biblical quotes...nope not this time.

I don't think he was a nihilist...I think his thinking is warped...but hey.

So can you tell me...has Mr. Hoffstadter dude been removed or just his post?

[DigitalBuddha]

Vote here, C dude. Yes or no?

[Caesar dude]

Did I not make it clear enough? NO.

Censorship has no part of Dudeism.

If you ban the post...ban the poster.

If you know something we don't about the poster then tell us.

I'm no fan of the post but it's not hurting anyone.

I'm not happy for sure but then again.... maybe I don't have all the information.

I'm in agreement with Caeser dude here. I have no clue what that dude is blathering about. I think he has totally missed the dudeism idea and is more of a lebowskiest than a dudeiest. But it's easy enough to ignore his ramblings and he's not aggressive or insulting and seems very willing to disscuss his stuff.  I say let the man blather he's voicing his ideas and discussing his interpretation of the film and it's religious meaning to him. I can understand why moderators my jump on him I bit quickly though. Given recent events trying to keep people from pissing on the collective rug this guy is not icon though. Just my opinion This is an open forum for discussing dudeism and people's interpretation of it.

[Stumblin Stumbleweed]

Man, looks like I missed something.
We talking Hofstadter here?
No way should he be banned or whatever. Caesar Dude is right.
Hofstadter is not wrong, he's just an asshole.

I say leave the thread open and let the man ramble. Sure, he avoided my question (not in a mean way) and he's grasping for straws. I agree that he's more of a lebowskiest than dudeist.

I've dealt with tinfoils in other places. I think he's nuttier than squirrel shit. But so far he's just acting weird.

But to say he can't speak? As I see it, we've asked questions and picked apart his assertions. His apophenia is outlandish and laughable.

Let's give him the chance to chill, get bored, or go all zealot.

Damn, sounds like I missed another "Icon" incident.  Haven't visited here in a bit... what's the current scoop?

A sign of slacking; this is a very dudely thing.

Works for me DB.  I'm sure I would have pitched in if I checked in more often...  Work's been stoopit busy of late.  Good to re-connect with you dudes.

Oat sodas on me!
