So what's the point of moving the thread to a google doc?

Make sure to record it and upload it somewhere, on the off-chance jrod does actually show I'd be interested to listen to how he tries to defend his position in real time.

Posters in a thread dedicated to arguing with a Libertarian who hasn't changed a single position in 3 years are suddenly concerned with whether X-Thing is pointless.

Wanamingo posted:Seriously, this idea is stupid as hell. There seem to be two separate tracks going on. Track 1: Caros and Jrod are attempting to set up some sort of written debate via a shared google document or something. The point being Jrod can focus on one guy instead of getting buried in replies. Also since Jrod won't have that excuse anymore and since he's said multiple times he's open to a 1v1, we'll all get to see what happens. Track2: Paragon is trying to start up some sort of round-table discussion thing via skype and is using a public google doc as a sign up sheet/topic suggestion form.

Wow, okay, I'm kind of surprised that a medium that requires literacy to participate has so many people who can't be bothered to read.Obdicut posted:So what's the point of moving the thread to a google doc? No one is doing that, the google docs are for organizing an event related to but separate from the thread. Wanamingo posted:Seriously, this idea is stupid as hell. gently caress you learn to read.

Already said I'd be doing that for anyone weird enough (like me) to care. It has been part of the idea since I brought it up. GunnerJ posted:What is even going on.

It's simple to use, doesn't even require downloading a new program it's useable in-browser. Send a link to everyone in the call and boom, everyone who clicks is in. You can even save and reuse the same link, so just favorite and forget. The only downside is that it does require G+.

It is, in fact, possible to post and also talk to people in real time over the internet. I'm sorry the idea of goons hearing another human's voice is offensive to you, I guess.

None of this is offensive to me, I'm just pointing out that trying to organize a "roundtable discussion" about libertarianism featuring the posters in this thread is kind of dumb. Have you seen the glacial pace at which the libertarian threads move when a libertarian isn't around to post in them? I feel like I've rehashed all of the major points of libertarianism so many times with you guys that I can do a spot-on libertarian impression at this point without even flinching. Treating your voice hangout thing like a formal discussion is idiotic, just call it what it is really going to be: "hey like-minded goons let's do a voice chat and make fun of libertarians and their dopey ideas". I know that it's goony to want to make lists and formulate rules and poo poo like you've done on Google Docs but it just seems like you're taking this whole thing way too seriously and putting in way more work than you need to

QuarkJets posted:, just call it what it is really going to be: "hey like-minded goons let's do a voice chat and make fun of libertarians and their dopey ideas". No one but you thinks it's going to be anything but this, you moron. Getting times when people are available to actually do this and having a few topics of conversation is also, like, the exact bare minimum of effort required and even then takes no real hassle to do. So please stop making GBS threads up the thread with your stupid bitching about an event that you somehow have managed to warp in your own mind into something completely different from what it actually is just so you could act all loving superior for not taking part in it. Good Christ.

I've literally spent like 20 minutes total setting this up, most of that just communicating details to people. I don't know how I could treat this any less seriously and still have it happen and be listenable at all. The most formal I've gotten is "We're going to give everyone who wants to a chance to talk." So your criticism boils down to me trying to do a thing, which is like the gooniest thing you could ever do. paragon1 fucked around with this message at 09:20 on Nov 27, 2015 |

I've done hours of work!* A-And now you're saying it's just about us getting drunk and ripping into libertarianism?!? NO! MY EFFORTS!  ... Seriously, QuarkJets, I knew what this was from the moment the suggestion was floated. The only risk of something unforseen actually happening is if JRod grows a pair and shows up - which will never happen - so I think all of us are pretty clear on what this is going to be. It's an excuse to - maybe - drink a little and talk about all the various ways libertarianism doesn't make sense. *Spoiler: I have not actually done any of this.

I'm not criticizing you, I just think it's funny that you all are taking a skype call so seriously. You're going to want to tell me that you're not taking it seriously, but you're apparently serious enough to display hostility toward half a dozen posters because they were either confused or mocking you (god forbid) It's funny when people get mad over stupid inconsequential poo poo like this QuarkJets fucked around with this message at 11:35 on Nov 27, 2015 |

We also gave thanks to bitcoin because it seemed like a lot of the funny libertarian and sovcit poo poo was dying down or becoming repetitive after Ron Paul pulled out of the 2012 election, but then bitcoin managed to make libertarians and sovcits do a bunch of hilarious things in the most inept ways possible. Bitcoin in 2015 has been a really awesome source of humor
