Following a discussion with my colleague, your ban has been lifted.

A colleague mentioned they removed your $100 voucher; your ban duration should be reduced to 7 days. If you aren't automatically unbanned, please post here so someone can manually lift it.

Are you expecting a $500 payout after this intro?

One objective of this whole farce—hiding behind the guise of a "deadly" virus—is to crush small businesses and force more people into state dependency.

I barely had to read much further. I agree with my colleague regarding that voucher. You can phrase things a dozen different ways, and everyone is entitled to their opinion, but the delivery and the context matter just as much as the message itself.

You can worry about your own cardboard walls. As for me, don't sweat it—just start worrying about how you'll handle being outvoted on the next local election cycle if you keep trolling. It's your call.

Regarding the question in the title, this is just trolling.

and once I finally catch up to you animals, I can do whatever I want—violate your wives, wipe out your lineage, slap the elderly, because you're all mindless cattle. But hey, here comes God, don't worry, I've already worked everything out with COVID-19.

regardless of what you actually meant.

My response to this:

It’s been made clear multiple times by various moderators (Charles Fox10 comes to mind first) that insulting politicians and public figures is allowed, unlike insulting forum members.

That isn't accurate. The stance is that they have to endure a bit more than us regular folks, as the Supreme Court has ruled, but we've emphasized that we won't tolerate pointless insults against anyone solely for the sake of being insulting.

Has it not occurred to you to leave this politics thread for venting the frustrations that build up on a daily basis?

No, it hasn't, and we certainly won't. Everyone posting here knows we aren't particularly quick to hand out warnings; we tend to delete things ourselves much more often.

Since you’ve spent your appeals lecturing others about their warnings and commenting on their bans, here is one just for you: that warning was valid, as was yours. To avoid any future misunderstandings, other people's warnings and bans are none of your concern.

See you when your ban expires. This might be a permanent lock.

And I’m just going to say what you don't want to hear... I agree with my colleague, so I'll end this thread here. Just a note that we reached an understanding last year, which I intend to honor. The rest is up to you.

I assume you dislike him because he stood against the genocide.

You earned a little criticism for that one.

Just a little more patience left in the tank.

You'll have to log back in later to read this. We aren't exactly in the business of downloading partial files.

Just so we're clear, the colleague on that PDF isn't a moderator, if that matters at all in this conversation.

Did I actually write this?

It doesn't bother you when your fascist colleague....

or does it??

Getting off with just 500 is a win in my book.

Eric Smith86 said:If I’m reading this correctly, people have a much higher tolerance for insults and vulgarity when they're aimed at a public official rather than a fellow forum member or just a private citizen.

Of course, there’s really no comparison to be made there. For those who might have missed the whole thing regarding the sandwich situation and similar matters:

The marketing team.
An online troll brigade working for the Republican Party just confessed. They’ve struck a deal with the FBI to settle their charges—and even Madoff's niece was convicted.

The recent news regarding the investigation into the former official’s ties to Madoff’s associates is quite telling. It seems the FBI is digging deeper than anyone anticipated. One can only wonder how much more will surface once they finish their work.

It’s funny how you never see these kinds of reports when people go after the Democratic Party with insults or call their leaders names. You read it, ignore it, and eventually delete it. But suddenly, it's a massive issue whenever it involves the Republican Party. I suppose being in power means you just have to develop thicker skin.

I'm against introducing censorship, obviously. And I'm not entirely certain, but it's quite possible my colleague holds the record for the most penalties.

Lock it down.

I suppose I should be careful here—we aren't exactly a court of law, but we really ought to follow certain principles established even by the Supreme Court of the United States in the Hitrec - Mesić case, where they noted:
“The boundaries of acceptable criticism are wider in the case of a politician than they are for a private individual. Unlike a private citizen, a politician is inevitably and consciously more open to scrutiny regarding their words and actions, and accordingly, must demonstrate a higher degree of tolerance.”

Your posts were removed because you were critiquing the moderation on a thread that usually earns a ban. I get what you were trying to say, so it was just deleted; besides, the author isn't even the topic of this discussion. I realize some of the phrasing isn't my cup of tea either, but good grief, let's not resort to censorship.

I'll give it some thought.

There’s a price to pay.

The topic is a bit messy and silly, maybe slightly off-track... but so be it.

Anonymous said:Could you explain exactly where the insult to other users is?......

Nowhere.

Every single thing you post deserves an award for being the most idiotic comment of the year, the decade, or even all time.

At it.

Jesse Price said:So, the user shared an article about the death of a die-hard Trump supporter, questioning if he was targeted for his politics (as if Trump supporters are some kind of marginalized group in America...).
My response was basically: "one less idiot, what's the issue?"

While my reply wasn't exactly classy or morally upright, it reflects how I feel about people holding those specific views. Yes, I despise Trump supporters, and I have plenty of reasons for it. I'm not calling for violence; I just don't respect them.

Hate speech is defined as "incitement of national, racial, or religious hatred that encourages discrimination, hostility, or violence," and what I said doesn't meet that threshold.

I expected a warning or maybe a strike, but a 500-point penalty seems excessive.

You answered your own question regarding the penalty and the ban.

maybe just issuing a warning that doesn't lead to a ban

take another look... some things just can't be fixed instantly.

Could you write about what you love, provided you don't include those remarks about how lazy people in New York City are? We aren't particularly concerned with whether political parties take offense.
