Dont start in with this woe is me **** right off the bat

Are you trying to argue that Bob is bringing some value to the forum?


Anyone that double-barrels Luciom in the face every time he shows up is bring value to the forum.

Bob is currently banned for the 2nd time in 3 weeks


You’re being really brave, Bob. Not every man has the courage to have a full-blown meltdown in public over absolutely nothing. Proud of you, sweetie 😀

unclear why this bobslob account is allowed to solely exist to insult me in this forum. 115 posts, 100 or more are one line replies to me with insults.

you’re going to complain to the mods as soon as you come back? sad


Why are the far right extremists such a bunch of blubbering cry babies all the time?


Which account does Bob belong to?

Should the creators of the Avengers films not have been allowed to expose millions of viewers to Thanos since Thanos argued for and acted on murdering half of humanity?Would the Avengers films be better without Thanos?Censorious leftists who demand a frictionless existence should not be appeased. And they should not be moderators.ItÂ’s not like calling for the murder of leftist

Well said

I come here to debate and argue ideas. Sure it gets hostile etc but it is what it is. The value of 2p2 politics (which I've said repeatedly) is that you have a pool of educated people that isn't too big and anonymous like probably reddit (never been) or something that is way too personal like your own social media account. The community is big enough to be interesting but small enough to still be familiar with posters and their body of work. It's unfortunate that a legacy of sklansky brained decisions in appointing moderators has hamstrung the potential.

I don't read most of lucicoms posts but when I do he's actually formulating an argument and genuinely trying to communicate and defend it. I think people like him deserve far more tolerance and people like trolly, jalfrezi, etc etc who spam completely empty derpism which does nothing but raise the temperature and trollishness of the forum should be warned, limited, temped. Actual bans should be reserved for stuff way more serious than bad political takes. I can't remember the guys screen name but there was a lefty spamming geniune garbage rants on every topic all day long during covid. Clearly jacked on some sort of meth or derivative. Posters like that should just have a daily post limit.

I think being very light on moderating content makes sense. Being less tolerant of useless derps that aren't even trying to contribute anything would make this a better place

Back when Wookie ran the forum someone compared Sarah Huckabee Sanders to ambergris (the highly valuable substance produced by sperm whales and used in perfumery) and Mat Sklansky shut the forum down for a few days and reopened it with Well Named as the mod. Many of the liberals who posted here then left and created their own splinter forum called Unstuck Politics.

I feel like I'm not getting my due credit here

The same can be said about this pertinent post of yours.


I do find it funny it/that is claiming it/that only found out today that it/that was unbanned cuz it/that had a friend (lol) who told it/that so when I distinctly remember clicking on it/that’sprofile over a week ago cuz I was curious if it/that posted since being unbanned and seeing it/that’s last activity as viewing the forums 8/1 or something like that

I started an innocuous thread that led to his meltdown to declare his nazism is perfectly acceptable

Now that he’s back I guess i’ll actually try to push him to insanity. Let’s have some fun with it

I hope to god you’re asking this facetiously and not actually shocked by this


so if that worthless sack of **** is unbanned, then why is anyone banned? free everyone, then de-mod yourselves. i mean whats the point. enjoy arbys


I didn't see what happened recently, but he always came off as one of the more even-tempered posters on this forum, especially given the crazy amount of posts and engagement with hostile parties.

I mean ya, if we’ve now conceded the most amoral subhuman piece of **** goosestepping incel invalid can spam the forum ad nauseum and be persona grata, the plot is lost

Welcome to unchained 2.0!

Which I’m down for, but stop PM’ing me and quoting me saying I’m hurtin for a banning if Lucy is your standard bearer for what acceptable posting is

hes not really wrong. Lucy is pretty even tempered and polite while advocating for mass murder.


I guess there’s value in that

Isnt everyone already free? Bob is prolly temped. Lucium probably will be banned again.

Not sure how not banning people loses the point but some people just start chugging over the thought of getting others banned.

I support all of this.

That's the key to the whole forum wars thing, Getting your enemies banned even supercedes political argument for some people. Think Jman220 and cuserounder etc. beseeching mods to ban people.


it's standard kids in the playground bullying
