Robust Discussion Concerning Moderation

I get it. Y’all are friends. That’s cool. There are a lot of good people here with very similar backgrounds.

The worst thing you can say about me is that I’m intolerant of mindless hate and liars. Fair statement?

No you aren’t, you started off making accusations and condescending to me.

I’ve never reacted negatively to an honest, fact based conversation about Israel, Israelis, or ■■■■ and you can’t find an example where I have.

What I do react negatively are defamatory lies and baseless demonetization of Israel and ■■■■ pairing them to to be devils.

I will have a civil conversation with anyone who is honest, reasonable, and even moderately polite on any topic anytime.

Because not falling in line with the “thinking” gets you called Rabbi or goyim, anti-American?

It is their business. But why be bombarded by it. It is about as welcome as Jehovah Witnesses at my door. I don’t buy into the conspiracy theories. I don’t call anyone derogatory terms so why the hate when towards other when not on board?

Your avatar is great. You contribute to threads in a constructive way and seem to have respect for others. @TWR has methodically disputed with links and facts, time and time again. It is any wonder at some point in time people throw their hands up when it is the SOSDD?

Damn bud - I’m sitting here on my front porch drinking a beer. Not a care in the world right now.

I did say that you tend to launch at people for the slightest affront to your personal beliefs. I stand by that. I also said that you and Ish need to slow up on the personal attacks. I stand by that too. I also said your avatar is intentionally making a statement and that you should expect people to be direct with you as a result.

You then respond with a bunch of crazy stuff about ■■■■ and Israel.

I’m here talking to you about you and your perception of things…and how others may be perceiving you. I am trying to help.

I know what’s coming next since I’ve been on boards Patriot has run since 2002. Y’all do what you want though.

I’d like to think that we are. Quite frankly, if I went off base @TWR would hand me my ass and show me why. I would actually think about it, do some research and come back with I agree or disagree. Debate ensues. And THAT is what learning, growing and expanding your horizons is about.

And you are quite correct. There are a lot of very good people on this board. One thing we all have in common is we want the best for America and for Americans.

We have major issues at our border. Measle outbreaks, TB et al. Yet what have we got? Low information voters who gobble up the candy the liberals feed them and want socialism in spite of what history tells us and what is happening in real time around us.

These are URGENT times in America. The pendulum is swinging. Effort spent on hating ■■■■ is a waste of time, IMO when we have a hell of a lot bigger fish to fry.

Eh? :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Yes. A fair statement.

I’m good with everything that you just said. I think you are right too. Seems like you and @TWR have known each other for a good while. You get his approach and where he’s coming from and why.

What I’m getting at is I know a lot of these people on this board. They tend to change their name and avatar from time to time but we all link up on the back end so we know who is who.

I suppose y’all did the same when you came over here.

My point is some of the people on here are just kids. Not even fully grown yet. They might get attached to something as kids tend to do. Hitting them with a big pile of salt and splashing them with vinegar isn’t going to help them any and it certainly isn’t going to redirect their thinking. In their minds they feel like they are being proven right.

I can tell you that those kids do want what’s best for America too. They also defend this board with absolute vigor. If anybody messes with this board or the people on it, including y’all, they step in and step up…but I think y’all already know that.

So are y’all willing to torch the place and everything we are trying to build together (America) because of a disagreement that we can end up sorting through? I hope not. My suggestion is to have a different approach. Instead of people getting worked up about it…it might be a good idea to ask some of these folks why they feel the way they do? That’s an opportunity to shape thinking.

Now that’s just my two cents y’all can take it or leave it.

Children need supervision and need to be taught such things as right and wrong and the difference between the truth and a lie.

They also need to learn that mindless hate based on lies can do nothing but lead to the downfall of society.

When I say kids - I am saying under 30. Just to be clear.

And you would be wrong. Read your own words that precipitated this back and forth.

Ya know what man. I give up. You do you. Don’t be surprised when you get held to the same standards you want imposed on everyone else.

I’m going to heat up my supper. Have a pleasant evening.

Check your mirror there compadre and have a talk with the guy staring back at you.

What in the hell is going on?

Hannity people again - I’ll send you a DM.

Not really. I’ve just seen over many years he is consistent. YOU don’t know that but I do. And I am no one to anyone.

I think that is great, I honestly do. I like comrodarity.

But, no. We didn’t do the same when we came here. We kept our names. We kept our avatars. And many of us were harrassed for it. I am a parrahia on Hannity because the moderators are convinced I played an active role in dropping porn or whatnot over there.

@TWR was tracked down personally to the point he had to threaten a lawsuit.

And kids are vulnerable. They should be exposed to both sides and learn to think, think and think again for themselves. It is their minds that need to be taught not to “feel” what is right but to study, learn and disseminate. Lest they turn out like liberals, just the opposite side of the coin.

While you may not see it, I too am defending this board with absolute vigor. You know who isn’t? The ones who left without a word. I stepped up in spite of all who will be against me. Quite frankly, I resent the implication that I am an outsider or part of a group that wants to “mess with this board”.

Nope, I’m not trying to torch. It is regretful that you see it as an all or nothing approach.

No offense, but I’m not here to be a psychologist. But, if you want to take that approach then shouldn’t the same question be posed from “those folks” as well? If that is, you want a meeting of the minds and to shape thinking?

Why send it in a DM? I came from Hannity. So what. You came from somewhere, too.

If you have something to say about me, say it. I’ve said nothing in this thread that I’d have to take to DM.

Ok gang - since so many of you were demanding moderation I’ve deployed a spooky machine learning algorithm that will give you exactly what you’ve asked for. This applies sitewide. Enjoy.
