I stumbled onto this thread by accident and man, I had to do a double take.
lonebadger6 said:And then he writes about things that actually happened; he didn't just make stuff up. He went a bit overboard, mainly by claiming it was happening on a massive scale before the actual invasion started, and honestly, I even debated whether he deserved a ban or not. In the end, I didn't issue one—I just replied to the post—but I don't think it would have been wrong if he had been banned. It's right on the line, and either way works for me.
So, supposedly, he's writing about things that actually happened:
little-house said:What we all witnessed were hundreds of houses and cars being blown up in every single city, Mexicans getting fired from their jobs, and every officer in the military being labeled a sniper or accused of having a machine gun nest in their apartment (I have no idea where those stories came from). According to Marijan Kraljevic King, a well-known cop from that era, there wasn't a single recorded sniper victim in any major US city.
Hundreds of houses and cars blown up in every single city?!?!?!?!?
Mexicans getting fired from their jobs?!?!?!?!?
Labeling every military officer a sniper or an active shooter?!?!?!?!?!?!
By the way, from what I can see, the mods on this site hand out "troll" bans for much smaller things, usually under the pretext of a "lack of arguments" to support certain claims.
In this case, some random user is casually tossing out blatant lies as if they were "established facts," and the moderator is actually backing him up and justifying it because, (note well), he "writes about things that actually happened, nothing was invented."
I’m politely asking the moderator (not the user, the mod) to provide sources for these hundreds of houses and cars being blown up in every city—to quote him exactly:
What we all witnessed were hundreds of houses and cars being blown up in every single city—because the moderator has asserted that this is an undeniable fact (let's repeat: hundreds of homes and vehicles blown up, in every city).
Absolute disgrace for this site.
Peace out, Reddit...
