I looked, it was for an off topic and smart comment you made reference the moderation about threads/posts in Fever Dreams.
Well put.
Thank you for your input.
So if I quit, you’ll all be nice to each other? If I stop posting so much?
I wasn’t a mod 10 months ago.
You aren’t the problem. It’s been heading in this direction under various heads for a few years now. It’s certainly not getting any better though and everyone being honest about the state of things should be able to admit that. When you can’t even discuss the President of the United States without moderators moving the thread to various sub forums meant solely to mock, why are we even pretending this place is still a place to discuss politics? It’s not. It’s a place where some conservatives come to pat each other on the back and look for new ways to silence those who disagree with them.
And hey, that’s fine. Let’s all just be honest about the state of things.

Correction. That’s your interpretation of what I was doing. An interpretation that came without asking for my reason for posting and that you sought no clarity on. Which is my point.

Another excellent post.
If we didnt care about this place we would not be discussing this so passionately.
This forum turned into exactly what the active cons here wanted it to be. An echo chamber where any dissent is relegated to obscure sub forums meant to belittle people. It’s not a political discussion forum any longer.
But yet only one person on opposing side made any comment in what could have been a great discussion.
Funny how few years ago I mention him here only to have one of his students show him my post/thread. Seems like he’s coming around to my line of thinking. Or maybe…just maybe he’s realizing what libs have created will go after him as well. This beast was created by those that hid behind the label of liberalism only to swallowing up the ideas of liberalism itself. George Washington University law professor, Johnathan Turley, said that Antifa, which is short for anti-fascist, is the biggest thr…
A “liberal” discussion about dangers of Antifa, and how liberals themselves are now afraid to speak out.
It should have sparked a great thread.
That is what we all want. We enjoy posting here and many of us have posted here for well over a decade and want to continue posting here.
I disagree. And again, we are talking about the Politics Forum.
instead of constantly defending your position, take a step back and consider the fact that quite possibly in a desire to try and make this forum better have made it worse.
I’m not defending anything. I’m asking and clarifying.
The incessant “good posts” and “keep on track” while done with the best of intentions just reinforce the micromanagement. If you are actively particpating in a thread as a poster then let another mod do the moderating. We certainly have more than enough mods to do that.
Fine, you want no more Mod Notes, no more Mod Notes. We’ll just wait and the posts will disappear. I will not apologize for saying good post. The moderating in the thread has been addressed several times. No.
Its ironic that you were one of the most vocal to complain when your threads were moved from politics fo vague reasons and now you have taken that to a whole new level.
Have I? Which posts threads have I moved to another forum?
This forum has never been so polarized as it is today and the idiotic sections such as slop or fever dreams and TDS are as others pointed ou insulting and demeaning which encourages the cycle of polarization.
You collectively were warned several times to stop. You collectively didn’t. You wanted to troll, we gave you a place to do it.
As I keep saying I understand what you are trying to do but its not working.
Why not?
When you created this thread I know it was a genuine desire to improve the level of discussion but because of everything else that has been implemented since you became a mod it is being perceived as sneaky just wanting to micromanage and control the forum more.
You’re mistake is believing we don’t discuss things or I do what I want.
even that time you physically threatened me
That never happened. I haven’t physically threatened anybody since I was 15 years old.
What did that NRA thread had to do with president?
Hell you got couple cons agreeing to lavish lifestyle was bad look.
You guys are really missing the boat here. Should take your wins to the bank instead of doubling down.
That’s just my opinion.

Sure seemed that way.
Why do you say you can’t discuss the POTUS? Have you looked at the politics forum today?
Let’s do be honest.

Probably. It was pretty obvious.
Jezcoe:even that time you physically threatened me
That never happened. I haven’t physically threatened anybody since I was 15 years old.
Yeah. You did.
It’s one of the many many reasons why I basically ignore you.
But keep on with the And complain about keeping on topic.
It shows great leadership.
Probably. It was pretty obvious.
Was it? Because I know my intent when I posted it and it wasn’t COM. Divining motives is only obvious to the diviner.

No, I didn’t. If you misunderstood, you should have asked.

When you criticize a moderation in a discussion thread, it is COM and off topic trolling to disrupt.
This forum or PM.
What did that NRA thread had to do with president?
If you’re referring to Trumps Charity organization, the point was to reference it as an example. Some people weren’t sure if NY could dissolve the NRA charity organization, so Trumps charity was brought up as a recent example.

Why would I ask if someone who just physically threatened me anything?
The only response to my quip was that you said that you were actually tough.
Dude.
It’s okay.
It is equal parts hilarious and pathetic.
I just stopped investing my time in discussing things with someone who would do that.
And
For good measure.

And it was, nothing was said, then what happened?

That is not a threat at all, much less physical. That is a simple statement of fact.
Yes it was me that brought it up. I had my doubts that state could in effect shut down a national organization.
Trump charity wasn’t national…I think.
