deserting the Dynasty-

Oh lord. It's a typical reaction in general. People are hypocrites, that's nothing new and certainly has nothing to do with one's political or ideological or religious beliefs.

 

Nothing here to see but some quotes...

 

I'd look up to the group if they did just that.

 

Eject! Eject! Thought we were in the Dungeon. Sorry mods!

 

I guess I hadn't paid much attention or caught any other posts of his like that. I do have something like 2300 "friends" on FB plus a few thousand pages I am a "fan" of so my FB feed is pretty clogged with info. If someone sends me a request and I see a bike in their picture it usually gets an approval.

 

Think about what you just said. You just labeled people you don't know as members of "opposing" ideological groups (which in themselves are simply constructs to help enable the 2 party system that works so well for politicians).

With logic like that, why shouldn't I be cynical about people as a whole?

 

We should discuss this in the Dungeon, my friend.

 

I was being sarcastic. I had a feeling it was that kind of "friendship."
Maybe you will learn to be more selective.

 

Yes, like zero.

 

So... The family did say in a statement... while not directly, that they may end the show if Phil isn't a part of it.

Like others have noted... while it is probably fun for them...they don't need the show as much as A&E does.

 

I'm somewhere between you (who accepts everyone) and Papa (who accepts NO ONE including his Mom).

 

You're just pissed nobody accepted your invites.

 

Hurt is more like it.

Actually, crushed.

 

Quit spreading lies. I accepted people for the first few months. How do you think I got to 70 people? It took me that long to realize "friend" has a new meaning.

 

Its not about views being permitted. Its about pleasing the people who write your paychecks. This isnt about gays, race, views. Its about money.

At the end of the day DD gets paid to provide an entertaining TV show to A&E. A&E then gets paid by selling sponshorships & commercial time to companies who use the highly watched TV show to advertise to its customers.

What Phil did, jeopardized the relationship between A&E and companies who pay A&E to stay in business. A&E had no choice but to take action or watch their business partners jump ship.

 

Certain "requests" were a good way to get banned for a while too...

 

A&E had a choice. I think a lot of people out there are thinking they made the wrong choice.

They are very likely going to lose this show, which means they won't have to worry about it anymore...

 

I had to get the crowd under control when it turned into a game of poke the nuclear bear.
