That's odd. I have it on good authority - yours - that the mods here are fond of letting Nazis run free, so one would have thought it was the other way round.

What constitutes bigotry is essentially contingent upon which moderator is on duty at the time a post gets reported.

You're only allowed to say outrageously racist things about Arabs here, Deuces knew the rules.

Shouldn't be too confusing if you've been following politics for the past year or two.

Why don't you explain it like I'm 5?

That's not true, I'm pretty sure laughing at conspiracydonks (that includes religious nutjobs) is always allowed.

Point well taken, sir.

You writing the eulogy?

It’s outrageously racist against Arabs to say that Hamas shouldn’t have done a terrorist attack.

Don't think you are going to beat this one.


I just read the last couple of pages in the I/P thread because I was curious to see exactly what BLUE and Deuces posted to get banned. And that brief spin through the thread was enough to validate my decision to avoid the thread almost entirely. Maybe I'll check back in again in a few years.


Maybe it's not a great idea to have a thread that's such a cesspit that the mods won't even look at it?


In a few years there will be nothing but pictures of happy tourists in luxury beachfront hotels in what used to be called Gaza, and no signs of any Palestinians because they only ones left are cleaning rooms and toilets (assuming AI hasn't taken those jobs).

He was a good man, he was a kind man. To know him was to love him and to love him was to know him. Here's to you blue! Mazel tov! *wipes tear from eye*

Oh stop being such a pussy that thread is cancerifick.

Did the mods say that they were refusing to look at the thread? I doubt it.

If two posters just got banned for comments made on that very thread...maybe just maybe they are looking at it?

I'm pretty sure previous mods have told me exactly this, my apologies if that's not how this clownshow is currently managed.

Or possibly someone else saw it and flagged it.


I didnt flag either. I kind of enjoyed the death wishes and death threats from Blue. I would prefer he takes his anger out on me over a message board rather than his normal targets in Gaza.

No need to apologize to me. I'm not a mod. Which previous mods told you that they didn't moderate the I/P thread?

Probably won't happen. Doesn't mean we can't dream about that outcome, though.

Trolly's venting right now. Please leave him be.

Almost no chance Trolly answers your question.

That's okay though...trolls have no legal or moral responsibility to answer good-faith questions.
