The following excerpt from the
Law# 2 - NEVER PUT TOO MUCH TRUST IN FRIENDS - Sociopathic, or not?
thread, in which Chico was trying to suggest that I was playing con games at UP many times ... is being moved here so it can be discussed and evaluated for factual integrity.
Well, here's one revealing post at United People that I made on Mar 28, 2012 ... which exposes Chico's tampering with the polls to get the desired result that he wanted. To set the background, there was a 60% vote by the membership not to ban me. Soon after that, the forum deteriorated to the point that some genuine posters left the forum or had their memberships revoked (don't remember the exact details) to which Chico euphemistically referred as "members coming and going". The good folks that left understood that I was a genuine truthseeker like themselves which is why they voted against my potential ban. But after their purge,
Chico reset the polls ... the membership that remained was largely antagonistic to myself and was pro-Chico. So a poll that started as 60% not wanting to ban me ... ended after the reset with only 25% not wanting to ban me. I was summarily banned.
Here, one might ask if being banned from a pirate ship is a badge of honor. And the answer is ... most definitely!
Of course, Chico consistently represents that lawless period of United People's rolling and tossing on the turbulent seas, as if it was constituted by genuine truthseekers ... and raises my banning in a false light, namely, that I was banned by the vox populi of good citizens ... when, in fact, much of that period during which I was banned (on numerous occasions) was occupied by a pirate ship attacking other forums, a pirate captain (Chico), and racketeers (Screech Owl, her close associates, her sockpuppets, and Mags and Andy). He has no shame in misrepresenting what actually happened.
Poetic justice prevailed ... because Chico eventually had to make Screech Owl and her associates walk the plank themselves because they started cannibalizing his forum. Chico banned Andy because Andy (to his credit) was a front row witness to Chico devolving into Captain Queeg and spoke up about it. Mags no longer posts there because he too eventually fell into disagreement with Chico (his co-partner in the quack theory that sociopathy was the root of today's global corruptions). After I scuttled that theory with my fact-based arguments exposing tribal organization as the prime culprit behind the bankster empire, the global corruptions, and full spectrum dominance, Mags no longer had any face to save or theory worth holding (wrt sociopathy as being the prime culprit).
In the end, what started as promise for a planar organization turned into a hidden pyramid with Chico on the capstone. Which is why it is mostly a one-man show today. I occasional post there because it is sad to see a man boast about a forum when all that is left is a soliloquarium. So there is as much pity for Chico as there is contempt for his behavior.

ps: Here's the link to United People and teh discussion on Chico resetting polls. I would read the entire thread to get a full grasp of what is going on ... if you have time to waste that is.

beginExcerpt
This is outrageous! Chico has now assumed the role of emperor of this forum. Chico unilaterally made the decision to change the poll results. Instead of conducting a new poll where he could have gotten his results ... he purged a poll which had no business being purged, e.g. because no one was suspended. The only provision for a poll reset is if someone had been suspended.
At the time of the purge, Chico and I had a vote of confidence at 60% (6-4 in favor of nonSuspension).
TH and Andywight had a vote of neutral confidence of 50% (5-5 in favor of the status quo).
DSimon had a vote of nonconfidence at 40% (3-2 in favor of Suspension).
No one was voted for a suspension because no one triggered the 25% nonconfidence threshold that Chico had set.
So Andy requests that I be put on a poll for trolling (notwithstanding his many trolling remarks aimed at myself, e.g. Unclespook, etc.) ... and Chico obliges Andy by purging the original polls (which favored myself over Andy) ... and now is promoting that the membership can get to decide anew the pulse of United People's nation.
Chico made the original polls reversible. So if people really didn't want me around for a day or two, they would've just reversed their initial decision and removed their confidence in me ... and I would've got suspended. Chico knows this. This is the second time he interfered to change a poll. The previous time he altered a poll by redesigning it from 4 options to only two ... in the process, I lost some membership confidence.
Then there was the poll I took out on Andy's Stasi-style tactics against TH ... a poll which has condemned Andy at 80% (4-1):
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=517
Instead of taking Andy to task for any of the mischief he has performed on his forum, Chico has exposed his preference for the gatekeeper (Andy) over the truthseekers that Andy has pushed out (e.g. TH, Lee, Canzirka)
or is seeking to push out (Zook).
Good folks, this epiphany happened only moments ago - and I am seriously perturbed by it ... but here it is ... Chico may not be the truthseeker we all think he is. His record has been very clear so far: he has jumped in to do the bidding of a gatekeeper (Andy) time and again ... and he has done everything to oppose the significant truths that are being brought in to United People (by obfuscating about the facts and directing towards generalized principles). At the same time, Chico has shown an interest in propping up the trivial pursuits and soap operas that Andy is manufacturing.
I mean, how else are we to interpret Chico's preferred association with a proven gatekeeper, drama queen, Stasi-style data miner, and flyweight intellectual presented as a heavyweight by his friends and United People capstone clique members.
