slywolf45, I know the mods can change signatures for the regular folks on here—one of them actually did it for me once—but I’m honestly not sure if you guys have the power to change your own.

😳
Look, as someone on the left, I could honestly feel pretty stung by this. It’s hard to watch when they go out of their way to glorify Francis like that. And frankly, you even made a scene once about the politics behind what happened to the eldest son—how they cut his leg off. It just doesn't sit right.
😳
It seems we old-school socialists are being held to an entirely different set of standards around here.
granitemarlin77 said:I’m honestly just glad you caught onto that too. It really is quite something when the pieces finally start to fall into place like that. Listen, let me get this straight. Whatever my political leanings are, what I believe about my country, my faith, or any other part of my identity—that doesn't give anyone the right to come at me. It gives nobody the license to insult me, smear my character, or go out of their way to provoke me. And more importantly, it certainly doesn't give them the right to egg others on to do the same. Respect is a two-way street, plain and simple. My reaction? Well, it’s really just a direct consequence of everything that came before it. It's all connected, you see. One thing leads to another, and suddenly here we are.☕
😠😠😠
I am not a woman.
Look, granitemarlin77, let’s get one thing straight right now—I didn't call your house my home. Not even close. A synthetic sock from the eighties. Honestly, just thinking about them gives me a bit of a sensory flashback. I remember back in the mid-80s, my brother used to swear by these neon-colored, polyester blends that felt like wearing pure plastic on your feet. They were absolutely terrible for breathing, though. Purely synthetic. If you wore those during a summer hike out near the Grand Canyon, your feet would be sweating buckets within minutes. It’s funny how we thought that stuff was "high tech" back then. Now? I wouldn't touch a pair of those old-school synthetics with a ten-foot pole. Give me good, heavy American cotton any day of the week....it’s more about the color of the chairs.
I’ll say it again for those not paying attention: calling for mods to be banned or acting like a total jerk toward them—stuff like "just ban him already"—is a direct violation of our community guidelines. It’s disrespectful. However, having an opinion on how someone chooses to decorate their own house? That’s perfectly fine. You can talk about aesthetics all day long if you want to. I once spent three hours debating whether a mid-century modern chair belonged in my living room, and nobody told me I was breaking the rules for having a preference! Personal taste isn't against the rules.
You're absolutely right—it’s plain rude. Honestly, I could never bring myself to type something like that to anyone. But the thing is, you can't exactly legislate against being a jerk. People will be uncivilized if they feel like it.
If we’re going to split hairs over every little detail, then I have to say it: your signature is just plain crude and lacks any sense of decorum.
It feels a bit hypocritical to me. You have Clones, stay away from me! sitting right there under your avatar, yet here you are, basically creating a Clone of yourself just to give yourself a pat on the back.
And look, you aren't wrong. What the mods wrote about you flies right in the face of the forum rules, and frankly, it isn't classy. But, seeing as I've read your political rants—and considering we are ideological enemies on both sides of the aisle—I actually want to see more of this kind of chaos happen to you.
🙂😠
😂
Furthermore, you’re over here lecturing people about being uncivilized when your own signature features the word shit.
Your house is your castle. You have every right to decorate it however you please, but you can't dodge criticism once you put it out there for the world to see.
I was actually shaking with laughter at your very first post. It hit me how much it stung you—getting offended by some stranger you don't know and will never meet.
I even took a look at those photos of your house, and I can tell you right now: I meant what I said back in that thread where we were all tearing you apart 😳.
The bathroom looks nice enough, but my goodness, the color of those dining room chairs? Good grief. They look like those bright yellow, blue, and orange synthetic socks that were everywhere in the States back in the eighties.
Wait, are you actually embarrassed by what you’ve posted here?
😳
Honestly, I look back at my own ramblings on this forum and I don't feel a shred of shame. In fact, I find myself digging up old threads just to brag about how much of an absolute legend I was—like that time I basically owned the beach while running around half-naked in the summer sun. It was glorious.
😳
If you're really feeling that self-conscious, why not go head over to the Psychology subreddit? You'll find a massive crowd of total weirdos there who make you look like a saint by comparison.
I’d love to join them and show off my own eccentricities, but unfortunately, I got kicked out of that community by a rainbow-colored boot before I could even settle in...
I honestly, what is there even to complain about regarding someone who would just throw their political opponents straight into a federal penitentiary?
By the way—are you still skimming off the top of those charity donations meant for orphans at the local shelter?
Richard Perez3 said:So, we're done with this, right?
And clearly, we are...
😳
Once again, this whole crowd of monotheists has banded together to pile on anyone who dares to think differently. First, you had the craftsman enthusiast, then the guy defending that hot-tempered uncle, followed by some carpenter fanatic, and even a highlander joined in. Honestly, I’m surprised we didn't see a devotee of that old desert despot on steroids showing up too (you know, YHWH from Islam)...
😳
And don't go thinking I don't know what Jesus was up to when he was only six years old. It’s all laid out plain as day in the apocrypha. But of course, Christians hide those truths away like a snake hides its tail, acting as if they aren't part of the story!!!
😠😠😠
So yeah, as far as I'm concerned, this thread can be closed...
Put me in the game! Put me right in the thick of it, and then they’ll finally learn what it actually feels like to groan under the weight of a Yugo-style, anti-Republican grip on power!!!
jadeseal4 said:Looking at this PDF, it’s clear that Politics moderation has been dragging on forever under rules that are frankly impossible to wrap your head around. Honestly, Ryan Vaughn7, I can't even begin to make sense of them. There are certain topics that absolutely terrify the far-left crowd. For no reason at all—and usually without even bothering to offer an explanation—they’ll flag a thread as "insane" or just scrub it from existence entirely. It’s like they want to make sure certain ideas simply vanish without a trace. They’re also deleting specific posts based on these totally undefined rules. For instance, when you’re discussing the Rehabilitation of Draža Mihailović in Mexico, they’ll just scrub any mention of the Royalist movement's actual program because apparently, that’s "not important." It’s ridiculous. They’re at it again. This is the third direct assault on free speech I’ve witnessed lately. It’s a blatant tactic: they just lock down any topic that doesn't fit their specific agenda. If you dare to speak up about something they don't like, suddenly, silence. It's incredibly frustrating. If we want to keep this forum's reputation intact, I’m asking you—please—to standardize the criteria. We need consistency. And more importantly, there needs to be a requirement to explain any major interventions. Let's keep things transparent.
Here are some of the topics that have been tossed straight into the asylum lately.
Synchronized attack on the American language. Yugonostalgia as a historical phenomenon. It’s something we have to look at closely, really dig into, if we want to understand how people process the past. It isn't just about missing a specific era; it's much deeper than that. I remember sitting in a diner back in the Midwest, listening to an old man talk about his youth, and you could see it in his eyes—that longing for a sense of stability that seems to have evaporated in the modern age. It’s a complex psychological pull toward a lost sense of order. When you analyze it through a historical lens, you realize it's less about the politics of the time and more about the collective memory of a society that felt whole. It’s fascinating, truly. The Rehabilitation of Draža Mihailović. The fascists are charging toward California! September 11, 2010 – Udbina National Reconciliation. Is the city actually going to strip away Gojko Šušak Avenue? I mean, come on. This is getting ridiculous. It feels like every time we turn around, some part of our history is being scrubbed clean just to satisfy the latest political whim. It’s frustrating, truly. I remember walking down that stretch years ago, thinking about how much the landscape had changed, and now we're looking at erasing names too? It feels like we're losing our footing. Does anyone else feel like we're just constantly rewriting the map to please whoever is currently running the show? How on earth does a man who actually suppressed transcripts claim he democratized America? It just doesn't add up. A total national disgrace.
And there’s a whole host of other pressing, current issues that absolutely deserve their own spotlight over on Politics.
Deleted threads: Is Barack Obama a Yugonostalgic? ...and so on. And at the exact same time, this is what continues to persist within our Politics:
The Republican Party's CBS is pulling all political coverage right before the election year. It’s happening. They're just scrubbing it from the airwaves. Should the Republican Party be declared a criminal organization? Why on earth would anyone support the actions of the Bad Boys? Honestly, if this isn't bordering on madness, I don't know what is. We are talking about something that sits right on the edge of Politics. Jadranka—the absolute queen of national deception. Or, if you want to be polite about it, she was just really, really good at PR. The Republican Party’s communist tendencies.
Take a look at the very first word in the title of the thread you started here in the complaints section. Then, go take a long, hard look at all those thread titles that ended up being moved over to the "Madhouse" subforum...
😳
😂
What else is there to do besides troll? Honestly.
🤷
Just look at WeM. That silly Joe guy was actually claiming somewhere that Americans used Glagolitic script. Honestly, what a joke.😲😂Honestly, he’s the one who usually dominates the conversation whenever topics like this come up around here...
😍
There’s really nothing left for you to do but head over there and rot...
hollowtrucker77 said:grrrr, I wasn't aiming that directly at Eric Collins5 my bad, Eric Collins5, really—it's my own fault for not being more careful with my phrasing, which leads to me sounding like I'm calling people out by name when I'm not actually doing that
if memory serves, there used to be this really great little corner dedicated to all things paganism on the forums, and honestly, it was quite a pleasure to read through
😳
But it isn't quite the same as being able to argue with monotheists right under your nose on the religion board...
😳
No matter, thanks anyway...
I have to head home now and lounge around in my slippers...

But yeah, I agree that Eric Collins5 will probably crawl back to his people. Fighting with narrow-minded losers like this is just a massive waste of time and energy.
Later.
😳
So how am I supposed to listen to my wife without looking like a total pushover in front of everyone?
🤔 😢
In any case, I intend to make a graceful exit (this pagan mess only has two posts anyway, and both are mine 😳) so I can head home and appease the wife who came here specifically to pick a fight with me.
😳
I was simply trying to politely draw attention to the quiet, dignified minority of us discriminated pagans.
We aren't some group of monotheists, atheists, or rainbow hysterics who feel the need to trumpet our problems to anyone who will listen...
hollowtrucker77, I’m going to get serious for a second here.
I’ve been doing some reading on religion over the last few days, and honestly? It feels like a landscape absolutely saturated with negative energy. It’s overwhelming.
My actual intention was just to start a more laid-back discussion—something where we could look at certain religious topics through a slightly more relaxed lens.
Something along the lines of what Donna Lopez4 wrote, without all that pagan mess of cracks and crevices crawling around in there...
Henry Evans3 said:Seriously, people, go out and actually do something productive with your lives...☕
😠😠😠
I’m actually doing something quite brilliant here. I am bringing together people who actually use their own brains. Now you have a real chance to step up here and throw your weight behind my initiative...
Are you really going to strut around Hawaii like Thomas magnum in those ridiculous Hawaiian shirts?
Maybe I was just typing too fast. I got caught up in the heat of the moment, I suppose...
When I said as empty as Fran's grave, I wasn't implying some sort of vampire rising up to skip or fly around 😳. No, no. I meant that nobody visits that place anymore...
