No 1 person is being called out From what I've witnessed first hand with some here .... being called a Libtard, ignorant, moron, clueless etc IMO isn't quite what I call an honest discussion. Lol. Okay bud. There is honest discussion to be found for people who are willing to discuss like adults. Then there’s those who spew verbal diarrhea, then delete their threads when they get made to look a fool. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That goes on here every day on both sides. Mostly from a small number of people. The vast majority actually will engage in discussion. It might get heated, but, that is the nature of politics. I am not a fan of calling specific people out in threads; however, I watched thread after thread being started in which people were being called out, by name (maybe not in the thread title - but in the first post) for being racist or some other vile assertion. I watched post after post of that s**t being posted. People openly stated they reported it to the mods - and nothing happened. Honestly, what I saw of DR's thread last night was mild to what I have seen here over the last month or so. Interesting that his thread is where they drew their line in the sand. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I missed something, but it definitely seems like an arbitrary application of the rules. Maybe he had been warned. Either way, it’s hard to imagine him getting the boot when others are allowed to roam free. Edited June 25, 2020 by whatdrought 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 That's what happens when rules are applied arbitrarily. Ultimately a human is behind the switches and every human has their own inherent biases, it's not an indictment on any specific person, it's just a fact of life. I'm generally for a free board and I'd rather have this than how rules are applied over on the other side but there are various posters here whose main purpose is to troll. They don't actively engage in substantive conversation, they litter the board with troll threads and trolling conversations. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
