Re: WANTED in this forum:
Oh well. So far, lots of outside readers, but no applicants for this "position".
This means that if they can't "flame," then they don't want to play their "game" in this friendly and peaceful board.
"Fear of rejection"? "Fear of getting fired for incompetence"? Both? Who knows?
One thing for sure is that they'd rather be able to falsely claim that "only ideological like-thinkers are welcome here" (which is true of the boards that they habituate and attack in and from).
Provable Truth rules here, regardless of who puts it forth.

Re: WANTED in this forum:
Joseph:
"Oh well. So far, lots of outside readers, but no applicants for this 'position'."
Creeping close to 200 views of this thread, and still no "applicants".
Going by the stats that Joseph had posted in announcements and complaints, I'm sure that a goodly percentage of the overall views of TFTF are by those who'd voiced strong disagreement with him in other boards (as well as in this one before Joseph took it over), so there's lots of truth behind Joseph's frequent mentions of this quote;
“To attempt to silence a man is to pay him homage, for it is an acknowledgement that his arguments are both impossible to answer and impossible to ignore.”
--- (J.B.R.Yant)
As for the total numbers of "views without comment," I take this as I did in Joseph's original board, which is as an indication that most of his readers are in agreement with his positions, as "the silent majority" in America.
As time goes by, I expect that more of the posters from his first board will find their ways to here, but that a lot of them still think that he's gone from the internet entirely, unless they were parts of his own e-mail ring who were also silent publicly.
But I don't expect for any of his relative handful of "detractors" to join this board, which is already apparent.

Re: WANTED in this forum:
I think the "honestly and civilly" requirement is the only thing holding them back.

Re: WANTED in this forum:
Going by the individual and combined view-counts, I would say; "Who needs posters of the opposite persuasions?"
There are numerous other outlets for their views and opinions, and I'd bet money that they are among the thousands who read TFTF anyway.
As Yant had worded it; “To attempt to silence a man is to pay him homage, for it is an acknowledgement that his arguments are both impossible to answer and impossible to ignore.”
Your adversaries might be able to stifle your messages by insulting your person and getting you banned in other forums, but they obviously fear to tread as disrupters or "debaters" in this place, where it is indeed impossible for them to answer the gists of your same arguments and explanations "honestly and civilly".
I think that you'd succinctly explained this situation in your topic titled; "HATE-SPEECH fuels many internet forums," which is now in the "Main chat" forum at this URL:
