For an individual to micromanage your plan to get him to to stop posting and allow others to speak.

They all proposed changes or agreed to someone else's proposal to my experiment. As it stands, no one has agreed to my original post in its entirety. I will sit down at some point this weeend and revamp it and see if i can come up w something that i and everyone is ok w.

I think 3 out of 4 agreed.

here was my original proposal

they will need to be completely silent on mn for one week. all 4 in the same week. with a specific start time, and a specific stop time.
No posting, No hearts, No private messages, no 2nd account, NOTHING.

Perhaps the 3 of us could agree to not respond to Ken's posts during that week?

Of course, Ken can respond to our posts. We will simply refrain from replying to his.

If you want to run your little experiment, I would suggest you create whatever threads you want titled or flagged "no BJKT" and I'll stay out of them.

here's the deal. this experiment is more than just not responding to one certain person's posts. this experiment is more than just a passive aggressive, or the silent treatment towards one person. and i also think that it will be very hard to not be able to respond to a posting that was done in response to one of yours. i'm trying to remove that one piece of hardship for this experiment.

here's the next proposal. if Bootstrap, Josh, Temporal are willing to move on without Ken, then i will accept that. it's not what i was wanting, but i'll accept it.

but if not, then i will stop talking about it, and the experiment ends before starting.

[Bootstrap]

I'm in.

[Josh]

I’m in.

Please send a PM when you start the experiment so I don't miss the start.

me:
i’m willing to attempt whatever is decided. (i prefer the honor system, no money “incentives.”)

Page 11:

I've heard from Josh and Temporal1.
I'd like to hear from Ken and Bootstrap.
And then i will decide whether i move forward w the experiment.
I do think that any refused $70.00 will be split among the remaining participants.

Edit, or as an alternative, that participant could designate to me who or where they want their 70.00 to go to.

“In the event,” my request would be for Robert’s forum operating costs.

No change here.
