Hello everybody :smiley:

Hello

3

Welcome to TEP!

4

You are most welcome here, Truth Commissar.

I hope your Chairman remembers that he still has a place here when he has been toppled from TSP.

5

Welcome!

6

Gotta love warm welcomes ^-^ and Babiana, do not worry! The Revolution is going strong! We have our home in The South Pacific.

7

You’re a part of it?

While we always offer every guest our hospitality, I hope you will refrain from proselytizing. If you had been a TEPer already, then my aversion to your cause would be different. I am all for pluralism, but that doesn’t include foreign revolutionaries.

Well, if it makes you feel any better I joined the region in 2012. But honestly I’m not here in any official capacity of the S.P.S.R. Nation states to me as a whole is one big community and I’d just like to get to know everyone better.

Which is what it’s meant for, despite the xenophobia of some newer nations.

10

Amen to that

TEP is open to everyone, which is always been one of its strong points. I haven’t been here for years myself, but as I understand it’s a part of TEP’s culture and I’d like to keep it that way.

Being in favor of pluralism while excluding some group from that in the same sentence make no sense whatsoever.

Nor does OF most of the time.

I got the “Open to everyone” vibe within a couple weeks of me being here. It’s pretty strong.

But anyways, welcome to TEP! I strongly suggest that you fully utilize all of our many emoticons. They’re world famous.

I’ll keep that in mind, though it’s worth remembering that we’re currently going strong. :stuck_out_tongue:

Thank you all for the welcome! And hello to my Chairman! :smiley:

16

Again, very glad to have you here. However, I ask that you not spread propaganda across the region, such as this “Ofly” or whatever his name is, is doing on the forums. (Propaganda not being a bad word, mind you) Because we are such a diverse and accepting region, there are bound to be some that don’t share your opinion. However, we also won’t tolerate them trying to be nasty to you.

Thank you, and good to have you here.

17

Is nasty

What?

18

I keep politics out of my conversations unless someone asks. :stuck_out_tongue:

Of course it does. There is a difference between pluralism and foreign agitators.

I find it suspicious he’s here when this is going on, despite what date he registered on the board.

Also, I clearly said he’s welcome, but not welcome to spread his doctrine of couping a feeder.

Pluralism:
a : a state of society in which members of diverse ethnic, racial, religious, or social groups maintain and develop their traditional culture or special interest within the confines of a common civilization
b : a concept, doctrine, or policy advocating this state

— End quote

Claiming to be in favor of pluralism while excluding ‘foreign agitators’ is, in the least, questionable. What constitutes a ‘foreign agitator’ is very subjective to begin with and if it points at a cultural/political group (revolutionaries in this case), then stating you support pluralism is contradictory.

I can understand you personally find it suspicious or are not interested to hear political/revolutionary speech, which is fine, although every citizen has a right to free speech under the Concordat and thus can spread whatever doctrine he or she likes, whether’s it’s polite or appreciated or not.

I understand your view and I respect your opinion, which is not what this is about. Just don’t state you favor pluralism if you don’t really mean that: you can’t subscribe to a principle and negate that principle in the same sentence without contradicting yourself and I justed wanted to point that out.
