ExpandYeah, I think you missed the point entirely. The fact that you assume I was calling you far right filth to begin with says a lot more about you than it does about me. Rule 4 exists for a reason and if you're going to be a bigoted POS (like, y'know, posting unambiguous conspiracy theory bullshit about Jewish people or any number of the unsavory things you've said about trans people the past two or three pages), then you SHOULD be held responsible. New users have been banned outright in the past for the exact behavior you're exhibiting right now. My entire point is that if @The Britainwants to come in here and play peacekeeper he shouldn't be letting shit that's in clear violation of rule 4 slide.
Yeah, no. I'm not one to entertain petty arguments about semantics. If you want to use the broadest possible definition of the word "bigotry" then go for it, but just understand that it applies to basically everyone involved in politics, and there's still a pretty damn obvious moral difference between "queers are mentally ill and jews are taking over the world" and "fascists are fucking retarded and far right ideology is dangerous." Words have meanings and there's a reason we've narrowed down the word "bigot" to what it is now.
And for that matter, even if I was talking about you specifically with my far-right filth comment, what on earth made you think "y'know, I could be petty and call her a far-left whore back, or I be senselessly cruel and keep going, try to push her buttons by making fun of her pronouns and insinuating she's not a real woman."
You're a real piece of shit, you know that?
Annie we handle these things on a case-to-case basis. Maroko has been restricted from posting after an investigation, which takes time. I want to make something clear to everyone.
To Everyone:
You being offended doesn't make it "hate speech". You not liking what the other person says also doesn't qualify. There's a fine line between crazy conspirator and what a court (see rule 4) would classify as hate speech. If you're willing to wade into the deep-end of political discussion, there's a certain amount of maturity that's expected.
We don't normally do forum moderating, it's not our MO, but since every participant of this thread this morning wanted to blow up our inboxes by reporting everyone they didn't agree with, we jumped in. Everyone gets warnings now because everyone broke rules. Maroko is banned. If someone is being overtly racist, not just being edgy, then report it, we will take care of it. Do not attempt to "take care of it" for us.
