VIP System Town Hall

Why keep them around at all?

I don't see a whole lot of use for them if they serve no real purpose. I am just suggesting that IF we are going to have them, they should be elected by the general membership.

I don't recall the forum "at large" voting on what rules we should have, so I'm not sure how you can make that claim.

In any case, the refusal to tolerate racism as a political opinion is clearly the result of liberal influence. I don't see how you can argue otherwise.

I don't see how you can argue it is. Even our conservative members don't want to admit they support or even tolerate rascism.

And, yet, he got a massive defense from liberal VIPS based purely on partisanship while nobody defended the conservative trolls who got banned.

I couldn't speak for the vips, but I wish he had cleaned up his act a little so he could stick around.

I understand your point about people posting their genuine beliefs, however we also have good reason to keep blatant racism off of the public forum. One has to do with advertisements/google searches. There are certain things that we cannot allow if those are to continue. Without the ads, we would have to beg for donations, I'm sure.

The second is that we do not really want to attract blatant racists to the forum. If it is on the public forum, it can be found with a google search.

Then the solution is simple.

We just need to find a wealthy patron who is willing to subsidize our forum activity.

I will draft a letter and send it to the fifty richest people in the world explaining the situation.

I will dazzle them with my eloquence, brevity, and passion.

Money in the bank.

Toleration of racism is actually the norm in America, since it is perfectly legal and well within an individual's rights to hold racist beliefs.

..LoL, yet those that hold racist beliefs, don't like to be called racists....funny that...and ironic.

Safety, this thread is not about your obsession with race, nor is it about your desire to find racism where none actually exists.

It's about the VIP system and all that comes with it.

Thanks.

Those that hold "racist beliefs" tend not to think of those beliefs as racist. The left has defined racism for everyone else and sometimes "racists" don't agree with those definitions.

The race card is all Safety has left at this point. Don't take it away from him.

Anyway, I think there is a pretty firm consensus among the regular members that the VIP system is pretty much worthless.

Either people want it done away with or they cannot see any reason to keep it.

In fact, I don't think I've seen a single post explaining why the VIP system is a good idea.
