Name one situation where someone wouldnt be disposable

The fact is...there arent any. Every one is disposable....no one is indispensable in any situation

People go to extreme measures for the ones they love.  People will often make sacrifices they wouldn't ordinarily make or do things they wouldn't ordinarily do to preserve those they love.  I suppose one could also develop a high enough level of empathy to treat others as family as well, and be willing to make the same sacrifices for them.  An example would be brothers in arms.

Now, your proposal is a bit more primal than that.  When it comes down to it, if you can separate your mind far enough from the relationship, then I suppose one could sacrifice the well-being of anyone, including family, in the name of self-preservation.  One of our biggest weaknesses as a species is the ability to care, love, sympathize, empathize, whatever you want to call it.  Think about all the superhero movies.  The bad guys always get a leg up by attacking the heart of the good guys.  Attacking the mind can be much more effective than a physical attack.

So yes, on a primal level, there is no situation in which no one is disposable.  It just depends if you have anyone that you would choose to jump in front of a bullet for and be willing to make the ultimate sacrifice.

That's some pretty heavy shit bro *props*

Thats two different value systems.  One based on personal beliefs and emotions the other based on the will and functionality of the universe.

Personal beliefs are as varied as there are grains of sand. What one person values another person could care less about...or even consider an impediment

The universe has no such limitations

Kroz happened way before this happened and it was a bad call and a mistake which I reversed. I didn't fully understand the auto ban system.


Daguru - I'm not going to argue with you on your point your right on alot of things. I'm man enough to admit when I was wrong but I'm telling you all no I didn't ban anyone when I went on my infract/warnin spree I made sure not to do that because poast didn't wan me to fuck up the migration and I didn't want to either

Let me explain to you why you come off as being so insincere about all of this. Because when all is said and done, you just look like someone that was looking out for their OWN interests, and just going with whatever wind blew and follow the numbers game. Meaning, it "meant" something to you to be part of the staff....because they had whatever power(?) they had over everyone else's experience. It made you feel comfortable. Then once they announced the closing and you realized that power was bout to be gone, suddenly you wanted to be part of the masses again..."liked" by the userbase because there is a perceived strength in numbers and now you had zero "use" out of being on staff.

You just come off as a floater, and not a very courageous one at that. Even here at Sanctuary, those first couple of weeks you took a hike because you were fearful of DDOS attacks and provocative pictures being posted. Then, once things died down you pop your head back in....and try to make nice with everyone, again wanting to be "liked" so you feel all warm and cozy.

The fact is, you waiver with your beliefs and don't stand up for anything other than your personal comfort level. You are NOT willing to stand by/stand for anything when the going gets tough, and seem quite desperate to align yourself with whoever has the power or play the numbers game. Quite simply, you seem to always take the easy way out quite fearful of getting any blood on your hands or taking any risks.....and you are now rewriting history with the mantra of "I was ALWAYS here for the people/community" which is outright laughable. No, you weren't then, and I don't think you are now.

He's also lying about banning several users upon Zoklet's collapse. Can't even by honest about it, even at this late date.

Who did I ban? Just admit it that you simply don't like me because I used to mod there without even knowing me

On Zoklet, at the closure announcement, you stated not one, not two, not three, not four, but five times that you would now "burn the place down". Shortly after those statements, user accounts which had broken no rules at the time began to be suddenly banned. Now, please explain for me exactly what "burn the place down" meant.

[millionsofdeadcats]

well, to be clear, infrared banned at least one person in the same circumstances, at the exact time you are mentioning, spectral.

Exactly. I didn't ban anyone. Accusations without proof are just that - accusations. It's really pissing you off that you're wrong about me banning people isn't it? That's why you won't tell me what people I banned because there isn't any to list.

Don't DERAIL yourself buddy you will come up with a list of people who weren't banned by me and still accuse me of it I'm sure
