Look, and this is my last word on the issue.
Everything bleeds out of politics. You people can't keep it in house or be somewhat civil.
This one sucks cock, that one's a groomer, you're a 'baby killer'(that's you saying that Lotus, I remember).
All bullshit. Some of us don't like it getting in the way of other things we are trying to do in Meltdown.
You can't control yourselves. Proven fact, on both sides of the spectrum, many times over now.
My opinion is cast, and suddenly I'm 'wrong' for casting it.
Again, too fucking bad.
Look in the mirrors and you'll see the real problem with a Politics sub.
And with that I say,
PEACE!

Your concerns are valid. We saw "Admin sucks cock", for example, on most subs on this forum, nothing was done about it.

@Flynn , lemme axe yous a little question here since you fancy yourself the BIG deciderer of things.

Would a screen name or AV etc referencing/depicting a Nazi symbol or say, a Confederate flag, anything along those lines be considered a political statement in itself under theBadlyRetardedFactory's no-politics policy?

Valid point.

You know what moron? You've been booted from every forum known to tard-kind, instead of your usual song and dance that includes whining and nagging, why don't you pony up the money and start your own forum; that way you can spare everyone your usual butthurt diatribe.

In all fairness, isn't a Confederate flag or Nazi swastika a political statement?

The problem is that if I used one of those in my avatar, I could simply say, "I like the colors and the color scheme," or "I'm giving props to those that died in a war."

Then you have the issue of trampling on the rights of those that believe in free speech, no matter how weak their excuses are to circumvent the "no politics" mandate.

Let's make the free speech argument very clear. No one in the private sector owes anyone "free speech". Only the government can trample on freedom of expression.

At least for Americans, maybe read the 1st amendment if you don't understand who we're being protected from.

What people want is the ability to be dickwads, with no consequences. It's how children see the world.

Exactly.

That's just like the "Political forum" here. No one owes the armchair politicians anything, but as idiots, they act like they're owed something by Bastard Factory. You see it all the time. They complain, cry and bad mouth anyone that does not subscribe to their mob mentality.

I have no sympathy for them and they can bash me and my modding duties all they want, but at the end of the day, I'm the responsible party making sure this is a place for everyone.

Also, the freaks don't have to go into certain subforums if it triggers them, but they refuse to do that because in the end they love the fucking controversy and drama.

I'll take your comments into consideration.

The part I'm struggling with is the nastiness that comes along with "taking their anxiety over what they see going around them but are impotent to control, for a walk". See someone else's anxiety shouldn't become another's problem with people that express their anxiety by calling a person a "cunt", a "nigger", so on and so forth.

They weaponize their anxiety and thinking ends when it becomes a free for all. How do I benefit from pernicious political discussions? How does anyone?

If all those people are looking for is a fight, take it to meltdown. Stop the pretense and sling it out with childish name calling there.

Do you see where I'm coming from?
...and that is why we have both suggested certain simple rules of decorum.
Rules that have been suggested in the past to BF which he has ignored because it would take away his "reason" for shutting it down. You know the game that's being play'd. I don't have to splain it to you.

Do you believe the owner is so stupid he made Bigly a mod? What right minded person would want to post there?

Yeah, he screwed the pooch on that one. I think he's an Administrator though. He's got the red letters, he's special.

Fair and balanced. He made a call out for debate by labeling all of us "socialists".

When in truth, we're all at different places on the spectrum of "left of center". I just rolled my eyes and sighed. I used to give Seoul Bro some credit. But he's decided to go all in with the "cool kids".

Go to Lipstick alley and talk politics...oh wait you would probably get banned in a day because most of these so called community members are quite frankly, fucking assholes who can't have an intelligent conversation about anything except COCKS.

WRONG!

You're one of the twats I had to talk to about what you were posting and where you were posting.

Don't blame other's as you had a big hand in getting the politics board revoked.

You know him as DKG. The "new owner." He wants everyone to know he's the new owner. Like anyone gives a fuck about him or that forum that's on life support.

He keeps banging away at this forum and saying things like, I don't know why anyone goes there. lol

Because Bastard Factory is better than TBC. Simple as that.

That's about the sum of it.

He's over there trying to entice members from here to "debate" him on politics. You know that ship is sinking fast. The best thing we can do is just ignore him. He doesn't realize once they have no one to fight with, they'll turn on him too.

Software is definitely better - no question there.

It's not just the software. It's the lunacy.

For example, I like Shen Li overall as a poster. I think she's funny. But her obsession, actually their obsession with CBT, is unreal.

Do you think, The Lion, for example has any idea who she even is?

I enjoyed his welcoming entreaties he made to me, such as: 'login Admin we welcome free speech, something you libtard faggots are too authoritarian to tolerate!'

Well, you know - What's this thread about?

At least you don't get demerit points for poking fun at another poster like some places I've been banned.

Yeah, whoever it is...so lame.

Most of the posters at CBT literally have no idea who she is...and she's constantly talking mess about them. They don't even respond because they have no idea.

I just sit back and think wtf? I just don't get it. It's like sitting in your house and some neighbors, blocks over, are talking shit. You don't even know. What does it mean then?

lololol
