.. and just like that, another thread goes poof

[GG]

Before a certain someone nuked another thread where facts proved him wrong, he made a public plea to the site owner about another poster.   Given the propensity of a certain poster under a bunch of different user accounts to start incendiary threads, which are then deleted when proven wrong, here's the operative passage in the ToS:

 

Personal "crusades" (posting the same information/opinion in an excessively repetitive manner. We want posters to share opinions not bludgeon others to death with them.)

Crusades are illegal? Any other nominees for banning on this ground or just the one?

 

There are a very small handful of people who try for discourse at PPP. But it’s mostly just a regression to a mean here lead by the name callers and ***** posters. 
 

PPP was a good idea whose time has past. There are plenty of outlets for political speech. The idea that this is a pressure release is a silly metaphor. TBD would be just fine without it. 

 

There are a few threads where discussion attempts to break out and even civil discourse but name calling and trolling usually intrudes even for those. It’s on the whole a negative drain on the community.

Then leave. Problem solved for you. But you aren't content with that, are you? You just call to shut it down and impose your vision of virtue on all. What a good little anti-fascist!

Very little name calling goes on here, and when it does it's usually accompanied by an argument.

 

If someone hurts your feelings just put them on ignore.

The name calling has been a norm here since this forum started but the two main catalysts for a ban in my opinion should be:

 

1) Posting offensive and violent imagery (such posters have already been banned)

2) Crusades where one starts tons of threads with no real purpose.

 

If anyone feels the need to add, go ahead.

  It's very surprising that there is not more open hostility aside from a certain poster who takes the name of a Roman emperor.

While I agree that the name calling and personal attacks are a bit much to take I really like this forum. I find lots of informative posts from both sides of the aisle and some posts have really opened my eyes about a few things.
