[Crepitus]

That shouldn't worry you.....as you wouldn't be one of the three.

Did I claim to be? You wouldn't be here either.

There is a simple solution for those that want to bring the diss. Take it to the hole. Especially if those bringing the diss want to continue on or start talking $#@! about another with their pals. You want to call somebody out. Do it down there.


What I have noticed is the leftness doesn't do that. Knowing they open themselves up to the rest of the membership commenting or jumping in on them.


Moreover quit running into threads and coming out with the lameness. Such as the Orange Cheeto. Trump is a liar. If Trump lied.....then prove it. Back it up. Now I know that is a difficult thing for the leftness to do. But there are some of the left that can do it. So it can be done.


Which leaves only the illiberals who cannot.

no Hole............as we've seen in the past, it gets real ugly and fosters bad feelings that overflow into the rest of the forum. This is a political forum, not some street slip-fight

No. As I've posted before, and @Common will attest to this.
The hole should be eliminated, completly.

First of all, it goes against and violates every rule in regular forum.
But it is somehow ok to violate forum rules in one chosen forum. This is asinine and contradictory.

It harbors ill will and personal hard feelings towards specific individuals by promoting vulgarity and outright hatred.
Anyone that thinks this is some kind of containment vessel is a complete idiot.
This carries over into the mainstream forum.
It cannot be unseen.

The Hole is not compatible with a decent forum.
If you can't get your point across Or counterpoint in a non-derogatory manner in the regular forum, you surely cant do it in the hole.
It promotes internet bullying, adult style, and serves no purpose.

Many of them have found new homes and have no real desire to come back.

I myself, having grown tired of having my intelligence, integrity, ancestry, and honesty insulted fifty times a day have mostly moved on, like many others banned or not.

As if you had any of that to begin with. All Liberals are completely brain dead.

[MrMike]

And that it is.

Here is Jonathan Chait, a liberal, on the topic, in How the language police are perverting liberalism--he's been discussing political correctness on campuses, and adds:



Commenting on Chait's article is Liberals and the Illiberal Left:

They try to apply that Liberal strategy to eliminate open discourse on political forums and those that yield to that type of censorship tend to become a pretty boring place to talk openly about politics.

It comes and goes. Maybe for this cycle, it's time to fade away and try to do a course correction. Some Liberal led forums stick with the heavy Left driven censorship no matter what and they end up wondering why their numbers drop as the safe lefties have no one on the right left to troll. Some are dumb enough to bring back banned trollike (left or right) members hoping it will provide a spark, not realizing human nature dictates the troll will always be a troll.

Good luck with whatever fix you try.

A troll will always be a troll and reinstating a troll is absolutely the worst case scenario. Its like hiring a hit man to kill yourself.

Yes, but what always comes before the liberal denigration of opposing opinions as not PC, is demand for equality, demand for fairness to be heard.

Yeah, that is kind of the irony of it all.

It's like ANTIFA claiming to be anti-Fascist, yet they go out and act just like Brownshirt Fascists and think no one notices. Boggles the mind...
