<~JamieJoCorne> First, thank you all for coming
[12:44] <~JamieJoCorne> god that sounds too professional
[12:44] <~JamieJoCorne> sry
[12:44] <~JamieJoCorne> I don't like the way shit's going kay?
[12:44] * NoMoarZombies (Mibbit@mib-CF8CEC52.sub-174-252-130.myvzw.com) has joined #presstorm
[12:44] <~JamieJoCorne> It's gotten to the point where we have become "the presstorm inquirer"
[12:45] <~JamieJoCorne> we are not a tabloid
[12:45] <~JamieJoCorne> We are investigative jouranlists
[12:45] <~JamieJoCorne> who consider ourselves among the many who consider themselves to be anonymous as well
[12:45] <~JamieJoCorne> Anonymous is an idea
[12:45] <~JamieJoCorne> we support that idea
[12:45] <~JamieJoCorne> a society with no censorship
[12:45] <~JamieJoCorne> a society where there is no reason to "fear" those in authority
[12:45] <~JamieJoCorne> and a society where it's okay to tell the truth
[12:46] <~JamieJoCorne> and where it's okay to show our children that it's okay to tell the truth
[12:46] <~JamieJoCorne> Presstorm...has always prided herself
[12:46] <~JamieJoCorne> in the fact that we allow EVERYONE
[12:46] <~JamieJoCorne> and ANYONE
[12:46] <~JamieJoCorne> to post
[12:46] <~JamieJoCorne> get their voice heard
[12:46] <~JamieJoCorne> and make it amplied on social media sites such as twitter
[12:46] <~JamieJoCorne> but lately....
[12:46] <~JamieJoCorne> it's been as though people want to control us
[12:47] <~JamieJoCorne> I have denied numerous attempts of corporate sponsoriship
[12:47] <~JamieJoCorne> Money - means jack shit to me
[12:47] <~JamieJoCorne> we make presstorm work because we all "want" to
[12:47] <~JamieJoCorne> not because I'm sitting here telling you to
[12:47] <~JamieJoCorne> You have to understand....
[12:47] <~JamieJoCorne> that
[12:47] <~JamieJoCorne> there is no reason to kill/hack/judge another person because they have a different opinion than you
[12:47] <~JamieJoCorne> they have the right to voice their opinion, just as you do.
[12:48] <~JamieJoCorne> As for presstorm staff
[12:48] <~JamieJoCorne> we have a process
[12:48] <~JamieJoCorne> that process is given to each person as they undergo the tutorial
[12:48] <~JamieJoCorne> it's not "you're going to do it your way"
[12:48] <~JamieJoCorne> although we allow everyone to post who wants to
JamieJoCorne> we still have standards
[12:48] <~JamieJoCorne> and we will uphold those standards
[12:48] <~JamieJoCorne> because within presstorm - we have that understanding - that most of society lacks
[12:48] <~JamieJoCorne> as Aristotle put it
[12:49] <~JamieJoCorne> "the mark of an educated man is to entertain a thought without accepting it."
[12:49] <~JamieJoCorne> we publish opposing viewpoints here
[12:49] <~JamieJoCorne> for a reason
[12:49] <~JamieJoCorne> ...that reason being that we value liberty
[12:49] <~JamieJoCorne> what we do not support or value
[12:49] <~JamieJoCorne> is disrespect.
[12:49] <~JamieJoCorne> Now whether ya'll like it or not
[12:49] <~JamieJoCorne> I am the owner of Presstorm
[12:49] <~JamieJoCorne> I created her
[12:50] <~JamieJoCorne> but it's ran by the people (as far as acceptance goes)
[12:50] <~JamieJoCorne> We have editing processes in place to help those who are writing - to be credible
[12:50] <~JamieJoCorne> quality
[12:50] <~JamieJoCorne> and true
[12:50] <~JamieJoCorne> we will not become fox news
[12:50] <~JamieJoCorne> because I WILL shut presstorm down before that point comes
[12:50] <~JamieJoCorne> and will not think twice about it
[12:50] <~JamieJoCorne> my principles will not allow me to do that to the people.
[12:51] <~JamieJoCorne> so if you disagree - and yes, this is my bitchface coming out - then you're out.
[12:51] <~JamieJoCorne> the law here at presstorm is simple
[12:51] <~JamieJoCorne>  1.) Nothing gets done without going through me first - or vincubus.
[12:51] <~JamieJoCorne> we are the publisher/co-publisher
[12:51] <~JamieJoCorne> this includes interviews
[12:51] <~JamieJoCorne> promoting shit
[12:51] <~JamieJoCorne> ..etc
[12:51] <~JamieJoCorne>  2.) When I am trying to talk about an issue in any of the chats
[12:51] <~JamieJoCorne> Shut up and listen please.  I always allow feedback.
[12:52] <~JamieJoCorne> I cannot make the issue fixable unless I can present it
[12:52] <~JamieJoCorne>  3.) If you wanna grab ass - go somewhere else.

[12:52] <~JamieJoCorne> this is not the place for it.
[12:52] <~JamieJoCorne>  4.) ENJOY life.  Drama stays at the fucking door.

 <~JamieJoCorne>  5.) If you wanna talk about hacking - go to #anonplus or elsewhere - NOT #presstorm
[12:53] <~JamieJoCorne> The #presstorm chat is for chat about news
[12:53] <~JamieJoCorne> stuff that needs to be voiced
[12:53] <~JamieJoCorne> it's the voice of the people
[12:53] <~JamieJoCorne> not a fucking sexual harassment chamber
[12:53] <~JamieJoCorne> not a fucking hacking chamber
[12:53] <~JamieJoCorne> We are the peole
[12:53] <~JamieJoCorne> we are more
[12:53] <~JamieJoCorne> we are stronger
[12:53] <~JamieJoCorne> and presstorm is one of MANY sites that helps those voices to be heard
[12:53] <~JamieJoCorne> I am NOT a celebrity
[12:53] <~JamieJoCorne> don't make me one
[12:53] <~JamieJoCorne> we are you
[12:53] <~JamieJoCorne> equal to you
[12:53] <~JamieJoCorne> but if you don't get with these rules

[12:54] <~JamieJoCorne> I am giving all staff permission to kick your ass out of here
[12:54] <~JamieJoCorne> without warning
[12:54] <~JamieJoCorne> I will now open chat up for discussion
[12:54] <~JamieJoCorne> Presstorm will remain alive, and will not close tonight.
