Jan Rypdal

After the failed predictions, his own public apology and the falling out with Nancy, Jan has finally relinquished the "dictate" that was the TT-Groups. (For those in any doubt check out the recent archives to experience a completely different atmosphere, then flick back a few months to see what a real dictate looks like.)

Subject: TT Watch Moderation

As some of you may have noted, the Earth has not stopped spinning, nor has normal business activities ceased. As a consequence, I am on the road again, currently enjoying beautiful Rome and Southern Italy.

The extra moderation of TT Watch and the other TT lists was put in place to protect the lists after the failed predictions of late May. As everything is now back to normal, we will soon be returning to the previous list operations model, where messages are not moderated. As a consequence, we've already eased up on the moderation, so that messages that previously would not have been accepted, have now been allowed, as already noted and commented on sci.astro.
["Everything is back to normal?" But Nancy is still pushing PX, any day now I think she said? Funny how everything is normal simply because Jan say's so. What did Nancy say Jan? Bet she doesn't know yet. Had this been anyone else this post would not have appeared. And in case anyone didn't notice the "heavy" moderation began shortly after the TT-Inc takeover, increasing, as Jan said, towards the May deadline, but never once did he inform the membership of these additions and amendments. Another noteworthy fact is that Jan states "we" where I defy anyone to find any other moderator that has been active these past few months. Jan is sole moderator so "we" actually means him, yet the moderation is only lifted because "he" has decided and only then because he no longer has faith in Nancy or the Zetas. If he had this would not be taking place of that I can assure you.]
Instead, if a poster abuses this privilege, he or she will lose the posting privilege and/or be banned without further warning. The other TT lists are already operating in this mode.

[You will also note he doesn't say what one has to do to fall into this category and my betting is he never will. basically "his" decision.]

Some posters have protested against their messages being deleted or edited. The majority of those that have received this "privilege" have come in a few distinct and interesting categories:

* People which seem to have far too much time on their hand, commenting everything on the list, sometime with multiple answers to single postings.

[If one examines the posts you'll see that the most of the people with too much time on their hands are those who believe or are preparing, along with the likes of the self opinionated disciples who reply to nearly every posting. Yet they were never banned because their opinion fit into Jan's ideal of a believer.]
* People that never learned how to conduct a decent discussion, and go for
the player instead of the ball.

[Again check out the "witch hunts" and debunker attackers where you'll see the "faithful" constantly attack the player instead of their arguments. (Basically disciples shutting down any dissent. Never chastised and never moderated.)]
* People with seemingly religious beliefs that our current science is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and that try to "help" others that may have different values and knowledge than themselves into accepting this, much like the famed medieval Inquisitors.

[Opposite beliefs to that of Zetatalk, or any varying opinion other than that deemed significant by Jan, but ultimately his choices, his decisions and his alone.]

Whether any of the "debunkers" in some way are encouraged and/or compensated for their disruption attempts I don't know, and I don't care. Some of them definitely need to get a life and/or getting laid, though.

[This is good from the former TT-Inc Internal Auditor who was the chief instigator of the TT-takeover, before also becoming the head moderator of the tt-groups responsible for installing nothing but TT-Inc officers along with the removal of lord knows how many long term tt-members due to them voicing their own growing doubts. I guess Jan should have got his own life back then, but then it would appear he never rid himself of the one he had, else he wouldn't now be in Italy enjoying himself unlike the other poor souls that sacrificed most of theirs because of him and Nancy.]

Their persistence has been most bothersome, and I have no doubt that this change of list operation will result in a lower S/N ratio on the list. For the decent list members, regardless of your position on science, Planet X, the possibility of a pole shift or not, I apologize for this.

[Of which you were warned as banning ultimately results in their  inevitable return, even more determined as one or more other identities. Serves you right. I'm glad someone managed to piss you off, Jan.]

Until moderation has been turned off, some hiccups in releasing messages may still be experienced. For some, this may be hard to accept; but I intend to prioritize Coliseum, Pompeii etc. over this list for the upcoming few days.

[The apology from above you may note is somewhat now made meaningless as he then goes on to point out how he intends to enjoy Italy, caring less how any of this may effect those "decent" members. Sort of like rubbing their faces in the shit. How many of those dedicated followers have anything left to be able to live in present society let alone visit Rome? Gave up a lot didn't you Jan?]

Regards,
Jan
TT Watch Moderator (for a few more days).

[And yet no one but Jan will ever know exactly what it was that he deemed suitable for editing/moderating/banning as they were never posted. Of those I know Jan simply edited based on his own personal belief/likes and dislikes and nothing even coming close to those examples listed above. It will be interesting to see if Jan returns or fades away into the night like the snake he really is.]
