What you should know about this forum...
...from the forum rules:
Now let's assume there are at least a thousand registered members in this forum. If that were the case, Geoff would need to be pulling in $30,000 per year in ad revenue to cover all our "membership fees". I'm sure both of the figures stated above are way off, and I'd really like to know what the actual figures are. Chances are there's nowhere near enough ad revenue coming in to cover every registered member's imaginary $30 per year "membership fee", and the member list has conveniently been disabled, so we can't see exactly how many people are here.
This is the same kind of bullshit used by strip clubs to stay open and for their strippers to be completely nude, "This isn't a business, it's a private club." Yeah, right.
Well, I've taken all I can handle, so I'm out the fucking door. Think real hard before you decide it's worth staying.
'bye all!

Mike is always pissed about something. Like I have said before, you just need to chill. If you want to leave so be it. We survived before you came and we will survive if you leave.

Every post I've ever read from Mike Adams, he was pissed in. Most of them I didn't even know why. Must just be one of those people who loves to be angry all the time?
I don't think you'll be missed Mike, bon voyage.

I don't get the hostility from the OP.
Plus, I always think it's funny when forum users get full of themselves like this is the Senate or something. We talk about DVDs. Get over it.

Good call. It is like those moronic free speech rants we get every few months from some knob.

"ABSOLUTELY NO:

As someone who is reading about this for the first time and has no vested interest in it, I must say that if this comment slips by without a ripple, it would lend a great deal of credence to the OP's point.

I wish I could come up with a site that would do that for me, but then I'm not as smart as Geoff
