Okay, so I have finished the Declaration:
IN MODERATION, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the moderating bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the Internet, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Newgrounds and of Newgrounds's @TomFulp entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all NGers are created equal, that they are endowed by Tom Fulp with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are referencing male anatomy, criticism, and the pursuit of a @Bit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, moderators are instituted among NGers, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Moderation becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Moderation, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to affect their Rights to freedom of discussion and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Moderators long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that NGer-kind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Totalitarianmoderatorism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Moderation, and to provide new Moderators for their future discussion.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Forums; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Moderation. The history of the present God of Newgrounds (Tom Fulp) is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Rules, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Moderators to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Rules for the accommodation of large Forums, such as General, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Moderation Team, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Forums repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be appointed; whereby the Administrative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the NG Community at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these Forums; for that purpose obstructing the Rules for Criticism of Art; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Portals.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Rules for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his moderators’ Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their revenue.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Moderators to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Moderation independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Rules, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any unreasonable Bans which they should commit on the users of these Forums:
For cutting off our communication with all parts of the Chat and BBS:
For imposing Bans on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of appealing to bans:
For transporting us away from NG to be banned for pretended offences
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Moderation:
He has abdicated Moderators here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our forums, ravaged our chat, burnt our Art Portal, and destroyed the NG Store.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for the lack of SJWs in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated ban. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our moderator brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the BBS of Newgrounds, in General Forum, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Fulp of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Forums, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Forums are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the Mods, and that all political connection between them and the NG mod society, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent Forums, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent Forums may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
WHO’S WITH ME, NEWGROUNDS????!!!!
