FYP

If he were to post something like that as proof then that’s reasonable if it was spoilered and clearly indicated what the image contained. I find it hard to believe that even the biggest Israel apologists think no babies have been killed, but I haven’t been following the thread so maybe that’s really what he was replying to. I just know Victor has a tendency to want to push people’s buttons. That’s not necessarily a bad thing but I wouldn’t put it past him to unnecessarily sprinkle a thread with images no one asked to see.

I forgot to mention, he also often personally attacks other using by calling them "liberals". For him that's a bigger insult than baby killer.

I've seen Victor do more denying of violence than anyone else. He seems to think 10/7 was a hoax.

I made many posts criticizing Hamas and the general population of Gaza. I guess you've never done that.

He tends to speak in generalities, which is what I’m getting at. It’s more about his opinion of liberals generally than pointing to just you. He does less of singling out posters than others do.

Do you know what tacit approval is?

I find that to be much worse. He paints everyone other than him (and a few of his toadies) as if they are a monolith of error and hatred.

If you disagree with him on one thing, he assumes you are a war mongering racist genocide supporter, and says as much, even if you have not made statements supporting any of that.

Probably what you are doing by sitting home on front of a keyboard instead of doing anything to stop the killing.

Dude, this happened yesterday. And if you're somehow unaware of how Victor posts, I'm not sure why you even involved yourself in this conversation. If you are aware of how Victor posts and want to say that other people are just as bad, that's one thing, but to suggest you need someone to show you posts of his that are over the line, well, LOL.

Is rococo gone for ever as a pure poster , regardless being a mod or not ?

No one really thinks that. People think those dead babies are collateral damage in a just war, but don’t want visual reminders of it.

one thing is that how can we be sure those are actual non staged photos of babies/kids killed by Israeli actions?

pallywood is well known for staging photo-ops, for taking babies dead for other reasons and so on.

if war photos "can change the course of the war" given they can change popular support, it is incredibly important for them to be verified right?

I need to check here because it wasn't really clear: so now writing that I consider what user X writes disgusting and embarrassing is a personal attack? I thought we could criticize the content of posts as much as we liked.

Writing that if you are the victim of violence that morally justifies reacting with unlimited violence is against the rules? while calling Hamas resistance fighters isn't?

Let's just check what you wrote

Not saying I agree with bans but this is a pretty strong personal attack imo.

personal? personal would be saying something outside the content of the posts!

i mean if someone starts posting about how he wants to deport all non whites from western countries, you can't write "this ideology is horrendous" and so on? really? and marxism is infinitely worse than deporting all non whites from western countries (which is already pretty bad)

People might say that "horrendous" is different to "shitty, disgusting, embarrassing", which are insults.

There's always a fine line to be drawn with these things, which as I keep saying is one of the fundamental problems with having moderation.

how can they be "insults", when referred to an opinion? literally the totality of the words in the dictionary are allowed to comment an opinion , or so i thought.

If you can call an opinion fascism or nazism, surely you can call it disgusting?

you said much worse things about what i write without ever being reprimanded for that.

I mean i thought the clear line was:

1) your opinion are trash (or whatever other epitet) -> always fully allowed

2) YOU are a trash person because you think this -> personal, not allowed

Was i wrong? because there are hundreds of extremely weighty comments on other people opinions in this forum which were never sanctioned. Can i report anyone who uses too strong words to address what i write?

We should ban people who post white supremacist ideology disguised as a hypothetical question to dance around the rules. Especially when it occurs tens of times per day. It seems like we are encouraging this behaviour by allowing it.

but not marxists right? because reasons?

I use white supremacy as an example because it generates particular disgust in people like you, so you can understand what i feel when i read marxist opinions.

The questions stands, do you believe forum rules don't allow you to describe white supremacist opinions as disgusting, embarassing, shitty? because it's either you can never do that about any opinion, or you can always do for any opinion

Under different moderation rules.

You have the choice of observing whatever rules are in place or ignoring them and getting banned. Deal with it.

If you call someone's views poisonous, shitty, disgusting and embarrassing then imo you've broken the current rules. You think using a thesaurus to use 100 pejoratives to describe someone's views when one mild one would do wouldn't break the rules? Mods have to draw a line somewhere.

There's an objective difference between white supremacy, which aims to inflict misery on a very large number of people, and Marxism which (though it may well be misguided) aims to improve people's lives. You're making the ultimate false equivalence.
