    The members are all three years old, or the tribe is?

        It is moderated by the guy who kicked me out of Movie Quotes for protesting his deletes of other peoples posts. He deleted my protest thread, listing and then deleted my membership :)

        A friend tried to join the tribe - but was told she could not because I was in her friends list.- she was asking me about it and was a bit surprised not to be let in...

        He later deleted the whole thread and its 100 odd responses... I am emotionally traumatised lol

        Lucky your not in my friends list :)

        It is weird to see such a large tribe with no content (scratches head)

          Maybe he deleted it all.

              I thought he might have deleted it too....

              Do you know him Bill ?

                I left a tribe rather than get into it with him. As far as I am concerned he is another "New Age" snake oil peddler, and with the situation at New College of California, I have had it with New Age Cults and new age cultists.

                  Thanks Bill...

                  Folks with "Light" in their name (handle) commonly have not such interest at all...

                  I know it is no big deal I got booted (and still read the tribe) - but I am thinking of taking him on... that tribe is certainly quiet at the moment....

                  Anyone know if there is a "Rogue Moderators" tribe.... if not - there soon might be cause I will create it :)

                      You know, the knife cuts both ways, though. There was a mod on the Quantum Physics tribe, roundabout a year ago or so... he wouldn't allow any alternative research outside of Copenhagenism in, even if there were valid evidence for it. He had over 2000 on that tribe, now there's only one (him). I ran into him a few weeks ago on another tribe and backed him into a corner, alluding to the SEC II theory. He couldn't argue my point, and didn't want to validate it, so he just stopped talking.

          Bloke - "A friend tried to join the tribe - but was told she could not because I was in her friends list.- she was asking me about it and was a bit surprised not to be let in..."

          No offense, but that's hilarious. Bloke, you're clearly a danger that must be nipped in the bud! ;) Hey, at least you're not being invited to join tribes and then accused of being a troll for asking a question to clarify what the tribe's about. I mean, if someone doesn't like me because I don't agree with them, fine, consider me an ass and don't talk to me. Why the need to accuse me of being an alt? It makes me wonder just how much of that kind of activity the people doing the accusing are involved in since it all seems so plausible to them. Seems like way too much work - and not nearly enough fun. I'd rather just be me. And, yes, I'm just like this in RL too.

          I find it highly ironic and very funny that, in essence, taking every opportunity to accuse someone of being a troll is, well, being a troll! *rotflmao* I must say, on one hand it's kinda flattering to be given so much importance that I've gathered my own little anti-Fifi posse. But I digress....it's been a long week :)

    I came across that tribe a while ago. I think there had been content but nothing recent. Seems like the moderator cleaned the place out, maybe a going out of business sale.

                  I have joined the convent of silence, the monestary of mum, the place of peace, the tribe of NO POSTS!

                  Well - I have not actially joined - but asked the evil mod to let me in :)

                  How about pics ? Can we post pictures ?

                    'Not a word' and 'no posts' are not mutually exclusive, or not mutually, uhhh...

              *sigh* It's still just sitting there. This is like trying to catch trout in a foot deep brook. It's like trying to get wine from a bottle of whiskey. It's like trying to bring back the bison by breeding water-buffalo.

      HAHAHAH! Let's see how long it takes him to notice mine's sitting up there and delete it.

      What I still don't understand is - how in the world, why in the world, would 123 people stick around if the moderator was just going to delete everything, on-topic or not? At least the 2000+ had the common sense to leave the QP tribe, and he didn't even delete just anything, he was discriminatory about it.

      15 and counting today.

        I can't believe you actually created that tribe!

        hysterical!

        I would join, but I might accidentally post something and then I would be forced to leave the band that my demented brain created.

        Then I would feel like Brian Jones or something....

          I know ! I am still finding it hard not to post. Maybe we could make it a "single thread" tribe ?
