how many of you people think pole smoker's threads or comments are gross or just plain out right rude
everyone, of course. it's too bad that one man tries to manipulate a whole forum. it might not be so bad , but he really has a lot of nonsense. we can only hope that he loses interest and goes away !
…I don’t think he’s really trying to manipulate the whole board…I think he’s just trying (& obviously with a lot of results) to annoy a few people who because they’ve been on this site for a long time think that they own it & can dictate to newer members what to post about…just remember thast it takes 2 to make an argument...if he annoyes you ignore him…don’t open his posts…if you don’t open & read them you won’t be annoyed & WONT have to make comments back…
The incessant postings and frequency of poll after poll after poll are really a drag. It all gets real old real fast. Many days, I just sign back out when I see his boring listings of topics....
Certainly all the polls are too much. It's not the way I want to give out information about myself. I was going to put up a poll asking if there were too many polls, silly!
Seems his biggest offense is spamming the board with redundant threads. If the topic looks goofy or uninteresting I just dont click on it. Easy enough.
Eventually spammers get bored with it and stop.
Not even so much as redundant, but useless and downright stupid threads ! A look at the titles and that he posts six in a 30 minute period...and if they aren't useless they are tasteless !
I know I'm not the only person who e-mailed Drew complaining about this silliness. Lets hope Drew responds or this idiot goes away......
Just look at the childish junk here, pure crap :

I have no interest in the threads that he has started, but that is MY personal preference. But by the same token, he has as much right to start a thread/pole as anyone else. Simple solution, as stated on numerous occasions, simply ignore the person or pass the thread by. Though it would be nice if there weren't so many at one time so threads of other interests could be active in the forum as well.

"Eventually spammers get bored with it and stop". In his case, it's now going into it's second year. He ignores anyone who posts anything negative. It's always all about him. He turns threads around back to HIM all the time.....it comes back to him....
While it seems you choose to participate Charles-Smythe (as it is your right to), many (dare I say most) of us find him downright annoying. Nobody is trying to control or censure him (or anyone else for that matter), but what's the point of continually posting threads that are about as interesting as "do you think the sun will come up tomorrow ?".
These threads are childish, useless, tasteless (songs about AIDS, really?)....posting pictures of the Amtrak conductor in sexual positions ? Seriously ? What a waste of bandwidth, time, effort and space on the forum.
See Charles, I *don't* open and read his posts. Or at least the few times I do, I do with my eyes open as to what I'm apt to find. What is a drag is the sheer *preponderance* of them, and the way they dominate the forum. It's a bit like living with a hoarder...you want a nice cup of tea and you have to hunt through all the shit to find a cup, hunt through more shit to find the tea, hunt through more shit to find the kettle, take all the shit off the stove, unbury the sink, and then, make some tea. It's just not as pleasant as it should be. Yes, some people "like" to live that way...I get it...you don't hear me calling for his removal from the forums or telling him to stop. But when one single person can dominate the preferences of many...seemingly simply because he can, because he happens to have *so* very much time on his hands...it's...just not as pleasant as it should be.
I hope my achievements in life shall be these: that I will have fought for what was right and fair, that I will have risked for that which mattered, that I will have given help to those who were in need...that I will have left the earth a better place for what I've done and who I've been. (C. Hoppe)
Why do you defend his behaviour Charles? This makes you look like his double banger clone to many on here.
"If you ignore him & keep posting what you consider worthwhile posts they will bump his down…& if yours are really wothwhile other members will bump them to the top when they comment…"
When people have done this, he simply spams old posts and takes no notice that he is hogging the threads. This bringing back threads by banned members reflects poorly on him. It makes him look like the former banned poster and especially when he brings back so many banned posters' threads.

“ I don’t think he’s really trying to manipulate the whole board…”
“Ignore him”
When you look at the forum frequently every thread is either from him or he has commented on it. The lack of respect and until recently lack of being capable of empathy for others is apparent.
Why have a poll that requires publicizing each voter’s identity? That is third world banana republic approach to voting. If it is not pole it is Charles replying to many threads or back and forth dialogue with few other posters commenting.

Now Pole
Of all the complaints you chose my comments to attack. Why would that be ...cyber bully?
As already explained you do not give others a chance to create threads or comment on a thread. Things become quite different when you are not spamming the site with your sexually pornographic no issue posts. You're rather unintentionally transparent about who and what you are..
Most people do not like the excessive posting and mindlesss nonsense posts. When all the visible thread are from you or Chuck, it is excessive.
Chuck at least tries humour and seems like basically a nice fellow.(despite suspicions that you two are one in the same poster)
If you care for the site /its members and bisexuality, try the following monitoring yourself.
a/ limit new threads that you start to two per week for a month.
b/ limit your posts on any thread to say ten per week.
c/ remove the requirement on your polls for the voter must identify themselves. Most of us live in a democracy where polling and voting is private and public disclosure is not forced on to the voters.
*considering the number of members of the site, your polls are ignored by most. Why do you beat a deadhorse?...no one wants to respond to your polls they are boring yet sensationalist juvenile nonsense.
I'm sure others might have a suggestion or two that you could do.

Fallacy, I fear. You may notice that I do post. But I have time to post 2-3 times a day, maybe, if I see something interesting to post to (and I often don't, because of all of his crap). He seems to have time to post 20-30 times a day. Even if that's a mental exaggeration and it's more like half that (and I don't suspect it's as little as half that, actually), that's plenty to dominate the forum.

Nobody's attacking you. Or being LOL a "cyber bully" to you even though you have cyber-bullied and trolled/stalked/harassed people on this site a lot and still do.
Myself and Charles simply posted common sense. There are threads I don't like or have no desire to read based on the topic or author...so I don't click on them or reply to them. It's that simple.
Nice try. You're not the owner/boss of this site.
All you have to do is go to his profile and "ignore" him, now the threads that he starts will not show on the front page for you and you will see the latest however many threads show that are not his. It cleaned up my front page nicely.

What Rock Garden posts is true. If you block pole, you do not have to read threads started by him. If you do not open his threads then you don't have to read them. HOWEVER.....
45% of all threads visible to anyone who is reading the threads publicly at this moment were started by pole.
20% of visible threads without blocking were last commented on by pole (varies hourly though)
Since this thread was started, I would wager that there has been a reduction in percentages of threads started by pole and his buddy Charles. This is still a significant over representation and domination of Pole’s beliefs about what bisexual.com is about. POLE IS presently THE PUBLIC IMAGE OF BISEXUAL.COM His/her is acting as the boss and owner of bisexual.com. Denial is one of her/ his defensive reactions. It simply is not true unless pole says so....according to pole.
What is bisexual.com about? According to pole started threads, it is publicly about porn as in cunt, cock, piss, swallowing cum, cock suckers. It is socio politically about uncircumcised penis. It is not about much of anything bisexual as far as socio political issues. It is not about Biphobia, Bi Invisibility. It is not about helping each other with those who are struggling with their newly self discovered sexuality. (According to Himself, everyone knows about bisexuality since the 1970's)

…apparently if pole annoys you that much all you have to do is ‘ignore’ him…if you don’t I can only assume that you actually like all this bickering…BE THE SOLUTION…NOT PART OF THE PROBLEM…"<Originally Posted by RockGardener>

TARRED AND FEATHERED IS TOO KIND!
This is a sexual site. A place where people can be naked and talk about fantasies, desires, and past sexual experiences. The anonymity of the web makes it so. In real life I can't discuss what I can here. This is really free speech.
If while walking off trail in the large nearby state forest I came across a sexual scene my strong desire would be to join in or at least to watch and spill some seed. I could talk about that here, but probably not with the participants.
His posts are sexual. Some of them may make some members uncomfortable. Sex is a strong emotional drive encompassing much more than just "doing it".
Hitler, the ultimate control freak, conquered a nation by creating hate. Is that what's happening here?
I haven't seen pole smoker cross the boundaries outlined in the rules of this site, or heard any sensible argument against him.
Cum1st
Is this a sexual site or a bisexual site?
What is the difference ?
.................................................. ............
You might want to read the rules again as far as crossing boundaries are concerned.
Anarchy is beyond free speech. Free Speech comes with responsibilities in most civilized societies.

There is an internet legend. The first person in a debate who references Hitler to give support to their view..is the loser.

…well said…ignore all the flack that you’rer going to catch…whether some of the members like it or not…you’rer intitled to your opinion whether they agree or not…that’s actually part of the problem…SOME members don’t think the rest of us are intitled to our apinion…& they’re willing to destroy the site rather than let us have an opinion different than theirs…
