Don’t forget the scorching indictments seen here of us boomers. If I spent all of my time contesting those attacks, I wouldn’t have enough time to steal food out of the mouths of millennials.

I don’t think so. We tried every possible way to allow this community to self administer for as long as possible. We are no longer allowing that. My statement is timely.

Then you have a problem with your own objectivity. This thread is a great example.
This thread is a perfect example. We like to document everything publicly before we start issuing permanent bans.

If you wanted civility here something should have been done long ago.
Thanks. Noted. You done?
Don’t you worry once we clean house everything will be as right as rain.

Unless you’d like to continue. I spoke my mind, that’s supposedly what free speech is all about isn’t it, particularly the ability to redress grievances with those in charge?
You were looking to pick a fight with a mod so cut the shit. Everyone knows your little game here and everyone is tired of it.

Thank you for one again showing what’s wrong with the moderation here at this site. You aren’t moderating anything you’re using your position to launch personal attacks.
What? That we don’t kiss your ass?

How utterly childish.
This is what counts as civility here?
This is what counts as me pushing back against you and your attempts to control this site. I am tired of it. You have wasted so much of my time with all of the constant flagging and whining that you have been going on about for months. You have absolutely no hesitation to challenge the moderation team publicly on any issue and you continue to do so. I laid out the rules clearly in this thread. The site rules have been updated site-wide. Yet you continue. You disrespect me, I disrespect you. You treat me with respect, I treat you with respect. That’s how this works.
For someone whining about civility you sure don’t show a lot of it to anyone.

You challenged me publicly, I only responded.
Nope - no one was talking to you and yet you decided to start in with Kelly who was trying to do the right thing when tempers were flaring. You weren’t even a part of the discussion at that time.

HOW TO SPOT A PAID SHILL, GOVERNMENT TROLL
While there will always be people that simply disagree with a point of view of a post on Facebook, Twitter or other platforms, or in the comment sections of Alternative News websites or YouTube, which is a good thing because it brings about debate, opens up the discussion and no one wants a bunch of puppets that cannot think for themselves, there are clear indicators of a “troll” or “shill” and those paid by the government to disrupt, distract or otherwise manipulate a thread.
Trolls/shills will usually be the first person to comment on a thread with a direct attack without contributing anything to the discussion or addressing the main topic. They will attack the original poster and/or writer, they will attack others commenting, they will attack the subject itself… they do this in order to attempt to stop others from reading, discussing, or debating the issue and to derail the conversation.
Government trolls/shills will rarely provide any links that address the material provided, they will avoid any and all data presented at all costs.
The trolls/shills will lie, name call and ridicule anybody that is addressing the article/post material in order to harrass them into no longer commenting, therefore shutting down the debate, the discussion and the thread.
Another clear indicator of a troll/shill are repetitive key phrases, such as “fear porn,” or labeling those discussing the actual issues as “conspiracy theorist,” or telling them to go get a “tin foil hat,” again without ever address the person’s comment or the material provided.
HOW TO SHUT DOWN A PAID GOVERNMENT TROLL/SHILL
Many reading this might have heard the expression “don’t feed the trolls,” but that is not always the best way to go. Calling them out by forcing them to address the issue, pointing out their obvious avoidance of the issue itself and/or insisting on civility on a thread, often shuts them down and forces them to crawl away with their tails between their legs after screaming you are against free speech.
The number one way to shut down a government paid troll/shill is information, linking to supporting evidence, continue discussing the issue itself and to not allow them to distract, manipulate or otherwise derail the discussion.

She right, being civil does more to earn respect for your cause then not being civil.
Kill em with kindness.

That looks like the exact playbook that we are dealing with here 
Nobody was talking to you either. I was having a discussion with KVN and she’s a big girl she can handle her own business.
You were replying to me. I’m not Jen.
Also, it’s not your place to tell a moderator what they can and can’t get involved with here on this forum.
Just in case you were confused about that.
