There are assholes and mental midgets here.

So what?

There are assholes and mental midgets all over the place.




Some use oddball fonts and indent their posts for no reason other than to draw attention to their assholishness.

true, old timer...
but the road back needn't necessarily be littered with spent casings either...

extremes breed.

have you considered that this age of trump
may be savant's blessing...
forcing all to reevaluate
what seminal values
indeed still apply...

i'd bet (again by experience - and a long view of history)
that they are not so far
from... moderate.

tides

...and indeed - religiously - appreciate my ability (at times) to offend you
almost as much as i respect your ability (at times) to do the same to me...

speak, motherfucker!
it's how i know i'm e-live.

Trump is the consequence
of all that has gone before.
As inevitable as the Sunrise.

But I, like you
must couch my terms
in more obtuse ways.

Sadly, the level of consciousness
has fallen to such a degree
that my thoughts evaporate
in the ether

Only to be replaced
by inane bullshit.

Honesty has been supplanted
by perception.
Emotional dreams of Utopia
have replaced reality.

The Eloi are happy
with the turn of events.

Other than the too-consistant cleaving into stanzas, that was a good cleaver impression.
 
it is better with 'them' gone, i hear...
between the 'oh, but it's become necessary' sentimental lines.
i remain unthreatened by 'them' - whomever 'them' the them du jour might be...
i come here to be challenged
not to be coddled;
(it's the only real price in the free admission)
and am strong enough to weather whatever i might deem reprehensible.

this is about personal responsibility and...
well...
* wasted breath *, i fear;

the group has begged its deliverance.

iggy is, and always has been a baton in the struggle...
one's own voice, one's contribution,
is really the only responsible other.
...or choose - as many have - to move on....

censorship is ...oh so nefarious an instrument
once openly unholstered...
morphs from water pic
to seemingly unmanned runaway firehose...

anyone, really, could be sent to the corn.

rules. yes.
the privileges of ownership. yes.
the chimera of "free speech - no spam", even... yes.

but the ultimate responsibility remains - or rather - should remain
in our individual purview...

are there ban-able offenses? sure.

there are any number of posters i choose not to read;
others i choose not to follow...
(for whatever pecunious offense that might ignite me)
but even the ones i find reprehensible, or just tedious - or simply dull...
have, for the most part, as much standing in our free little litter box.

are there ban-able offenses... sure.

but there also seems to be a very ready vigilance brigade
with ever thinning hide
more and more itchy to find reason to push the un-like button...
( some brag of who hit the button first - "me too" - 'i'm in"!... saving... us)

bahhhhhh....

this community shows its vulnerability
(and eventual mortality)
when it craves to be a mommy state...

and it cannot be much fun...

for mommy.


Ssssnnooowwwfffflllaaakkkeeessss

Leftist idiots; where there are loads.
 
Ehhh... no ellipses

What of . . .

elipses? Are they...

...the alpha, and omega of
the method used to convey the
way in

which the ideas are. . .laid

out?

I...myself..am a fan, mind
you.

I have, however, in my quest to mimic captured
none of
the essense

of being

clever as Cleaver.
 
The rules have never changed, the posters have.



If I'm not mistaken, the only changes to those rules in at least the last several years (and probably longer) are that final part of Rule #2, and the fact that the powers that be have gotten more strict about enforcing Rule #3 (I would say that, conservatively, at least 10,000 of Original Recipe busybody's posts were violations of that rule).


If it seems people are getting banned more often, it's not because the rules have changed or because there are more of them.
 
A semicolon would have been grammatically appropriate and showcased better continuity with picking on his post.


You're welcome.

Except that it wouldn't have conveyed the same pacing as would have been present had I been speaking those same words. But thanks, anyway.

Please refer us all to the rule that explicitly bans anyone from calling another a sexual pervert.

Me? I've taken a different tack. I've engaged an 'hacker' to track those specific individuals down to their actual address. While costly, I have no doubt as to the effectiveness. In that respect Laurelmanu might be viewed as 'enablers'.

there is
cold-cool fucked
in all of that.

free free speech....
yeah.

As you can see, only one type of poster here is ever targeted for warning.

What I have learned, if you are a conservative, you cannot:

Accuse other posters of the "P-"word. On this I agree. It has no place in a civil conversation.

Discuss underage sex as a general topic. On this I agree; this does not need to become a magnet for NAMBLA types.

Discuss the news when minors are abused. On this, I don't understand because it is tantamount to covering up for Harvey...

And

Having said this and knowing that it will be reported half-a-dozen times, I am off to create my next new alt.

Perfect example. Not one single person was threatened. It was a subjective decision.

If anyone like Throb and his ilk/alts would have said such a thing and was objected to by the vague "targets" they would have been ridiculed and called "snowflakes."

what the fuck? over...

this becomes sick game...
with thin skins and bruised egos...

words? scenarios? tests?
because one might assume x could do such a thing as asserted above then....
(without a shred of proof.... poof?)

sell.
sell now.
it's become a fright-wig of a place!
 
So we should believe he was lying? No.

Those types of threats and words have repercussions. They threaten people's ability to have any kind of security in their interaction here.

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from responsibility.

If he had exercised a modicum of self-control then he would not be in this position.

wtf, indeed.

The progressive tax on "free speech", aka total moderation, is now in full affect on the GB.
 
Yet, a quick search pulls up 5 last warnings and two last warnings already given. I stopped counting after that. Still ish remains.
