It is not at all clear to me that you would benefit from decisions that are in the best interests of the forum.

Perhaps not.

I post what I believe to be true. I realize these forums are populated by angry liberals so not many folks in here will agree with me.


by Elway m

This part of the world deserves what it gets.

Also, you’d be wise not to accuse me of date-rape again.

How many times have you committed date-rape? Or have you lost track by now?

The answer is zero so pretty easy to keep track of.

I probably agree with you more often than lots of folks do.

That said, happily calling for the starvation and death of civilians is far worse imo that folks accusing you of date rape.

I'll stop accusing you of date rape if you stop being gleeful about the death of people.

Did I say she wasn’t?

As far as I know, CN didn't change her ideas about moderation. She just isn't around as much.

lol, was this you buddy

Maybe slow down on the whole "We have to exterminate the cancerous savage Arabs" Nazi shtick before complaining about quality control.

You forgot this

Again, Israel would have been and has had justification to conduct actual genocide. The fact that they haven’t over the past century is more than we could say for any other nation.


by DoyleBrunsonFan m

I don’t care about virtue signaling. If after 80 years of diplomacy you have no progress, you need to move onto other options. I never said they should exterminate them, although I did acknowledge that that would have happened long ago if the Palestinians were dealing with Arabs or Christians instead of Jews.And apparently Iran doesn't know where all of their mines are and th

You said Israel would be justified in committing actual genocide. That's pretty much advocating extermination. I used to lmao at vic constantly accusing everyone who disagrees with him of loving genocide blah blah. Your comment actually shows he may have a point. Which is some achievement btw.

I don't know what you mean by "true," as the most offensive things that you post are your opinions, which by definition are neither true nor false.

If you are saying that the opinions you express are truly held and not mere trolling, that's grim because you have said that Trump should deploy a nuclear weapon and also take steps to intentionally starve civilians to death.

And yet he is upset that some of us accuse him of date rape.

When I say β€œstarve” I’m speaking about putting max pressure on the regime. I realize this is not good for the people in the short term but it may create the environment for a change in the current situation. I’m a go big or go home type. I’m all about the bottom line. Sometimes horrific things have to happen for significant change to take place. Me being β€œhappily calling for the starvation and death of civilians” is another mis read by you.

If you are willing to negotiate stopping the date-rape allegations it must mean you don’t truly think I date-raped.


by Rococo m

Regardless of whatever specific nuance you preferred, the overall sentiment was in the direction of a near free for all. That approach usually lowers the signal to noise ratio.

How difficult would it be to mod a 'discussion only' thread?


by geezerchess m

I’m not upset. It’s cringe when you say it because you are just copying somebody else’s shtick. I know that people have taken out of context things Mongidig said. I also know you are just being mean spirited when you make your false accusations.

Not that it really matters in terms of right and wrong, but do you realize most Iranians are against the regime but are powerless to do anything about it? Additionally do you really want to set that precedent for Putin?


Maybe we could have a specific thread where we litigate whether or not Mongo is a date rapist?

Where?

A discussion most certainly has no chaqnce in the P&S forum.


by John21 m

It shouldn’t be difficult at all. Just keep the conversation on topic.


by Elway m

I’m not threatening to do anything. God will deal with those who libel against myself or Mongidig.

If you're not Mong, are you Eric Swalwell?

by Luckbox Inc m

A light touch doesn't mean no touch at all

I want a light touch on content

That doesn't mean I believe that people should be allowed to post content-less noise.

If I posted "blah blah blah blah" every third post I would be quickly banned and that is the equivalent of what SRM does and now others are now joining in.

A light touch is why you're able to go on long trolls about your ******ed dog.

I do that in that moderation thread which is where off topic **** gets posted dumbass, not in threads designed for actual content

I do realize most Iranians are against the regime. As I mentioned, I’m a go big or go home type. It seems no one has the appetite to go big so we end up dragging out these battles and not fully getting what we came for. I suppose we could have just “mowed the lawn” every few months.

What did you mean when you wrote this:

by Elway m

The US should drop a nuke on Kharg island and then start picking other sites if this doesn’t convince the Iranians to surrender. This worked well with the nutty Japanese. The Iranians, like the Japanese can last a long time against a conventional military. They aren’t prepared for this.

by Elway m

I think it’s time we use the full force of our military. I also think it’s time to not care what the rest of the world thinks. The US/Israel has become a mega power. If the world wants to hate us then it’s time to show them what we can do. There is nothing disturbing about what I have said. We can and will do whatever we want and nobody can stop us.


So weird that Elway knows the history of this forum going back years, but is totally a new poster who only registered in February.

Also, he is not mongidig and he is DEFINITELY NOT UPSET.

Most Americans are against the regime here.

As far as I know, CN didn't change her ideas about moderation. She just isn't around as much.

Actually I would say after 10/7 there was so much naked anitsemitism from posters she felt herself aligned with politically, that she pretty much had to change the way she was moderated or she would have had to ban most of the posters she aligned with politically, which she wasn’t willing to do.

Prior to this she was aggressively moderating hate and prejudice. But decided to stop doing so, so Jew hate (normally framed as “anti-Zionism) would be permitted.
