CNN :D

So, I feel like I’ve seen people complaining about the moderator lonebadger6 a million times now, and honestly, isn't it pretty obvious that this isn't just happening by coincidence?
Well, if the sheer number of complaints actually means anything at all, then count me in as another voice joining the crowd!

I was really wondering, though, why on earth my post regarding immigrants got deleted from the thread?
Every single bit of information I shared could be backed up by official data from US government agencies.
Could someone please explain to me how exactly that post was considered trolling?

"Trolling is defined as an individual who enters established online communities, such as an internet forum, with the sole intention of posting inflammatory, rude, or offensive messages to intentionally annoy participants, stir up conflict among users, or disrupt the flow of discussion on the forum."

So, would anyone be kind enough to clarify for me what part of my message actually fell into that category?

EDIT: I should probably mention that I'm incredibly well-versed in this entire situation and that everything I presented was based on relevant, factual data!

I’m curious why my post on the immigration thread got nuked.
Everything I wrote can be backed up by data from American government agencies.
I’d love to know what exactly was considered trolling in that post...

"Trolling refers to an individual who enters established online communities, such as an internet forum, with the sole purpose of posting inflammatory, rude, or offensive messages to intentionally annoy participants, create discord among members, or disrupt the flow of discussion on the forum."

So, could someone please clarify what part of my writing fell into that category?

EDIT: I should probably mention that I’m more than well-versed in this issue and provided relevant facts...

It’s always the same story—whenever someone gets a bit of leniency and receives a lighter penalty than they actually deserved, they immediately launch into these butt-hurt appeals filled with whining and ad hominem attacks...

So, you, the well-versed expert, next time you decide to claim that 99% of Syrians arriving in our country haven't even finished elementary school (and "don't want to work"), expect to get a perfectly justified hate speech penalty...

Especially when you're replying to a post about the first three people to arrive in town, all of whom have much more education than basic schooling—one is a doctor, one is a skilled professional looking for work, and the third works at IBM. So, 3 out of 3 are educated, and 3 out of 3 are working or looking to work, just like plenty of others in different cities already are...

Over and out.

One is working as a doctor, another is skilled and looking for work soon, and the third one works at IBM. So, 3 out of 3 are clearly "educated," and 3 out of 3 are either already working or trying to find a job, just like so many others in different cities are doing right now!
.

Wait, did I hear you right when you said "the first three people to arrive in town"—are you seriously suggesting that the refugees who just arrived in Columbus consist of a doctor and an IBM professional?

You already got your answer, and since this isn't the general chat subforum, I'll just leave you with one final thought on the matter:

Every single moderator, supermod, and admin on this board can see everything that gets deleted so these little attempts at spinning the narrative are pretty much pointless and a waste of breath...
