The permissiveness toward leftist troll armies on other sites, led to those sites becoming sadly overrun. How much of that is due to getting advertisers I don’t know.
…and that should be a lesson to all who prefer freedom from government oppression. PC permissiveness toward those who want to control you will lead to your being controlled by them. Freedom of speech is under attack in ALL VENUES.
This site, and any site benefits from different opinions. Name calling never helps, yet neither does purposeful provocation.
One form of provocation often used is the cherry picked ‘fact’. Citing a single aberration, or incident as signifying pervasive trends is provocation. BLM was founded on just that methodology.
Unfortunately the media engages in this 24/7; and since 90% of the media are left leaning (left toppling?) you see news presented as if the Dem. party were e-mailing it in to the networks - oh wait, they were (and likely still are). Coverage of Rayshard Brooks’ funeral- wall to wall; coverage of cops killed during riots - crickets.
I have posted plenty of times on Politico - and there are a few dozen shills that are likely trolls for mediamatters - the first order of business is typically to call me names tRumplicker, Trumptard, Republikkkan, etc. I enjoy debate, but not so much the hate filled responses, especially as they are almost always devoid of an actual argument.
How about we all endeavor to argue points, and do so as if you were sitting in front of the other person having a beer (no not your tenth beer ).
I’m fine with that, but it’s also true that if you dish out insults, you need to take blowback. Montecresto is a perfect example of that - he calls everyone racists, bigots, dupes and then pretends to be hurt when it comes back at him. Phonies like that deserve no presumption of seriousness. I’m inclined to put toastedcheese in that category, too, but I’m not as familiar with his body of work here. It must be mostly forgettable.
