Rob's House Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 1 minute ago, meazza said: It's scary really that people feel this way. I've seen purely political message boards and those contain the worst of the worst. Nazi's, commies, etc. No one wants to really talk to those idiots but you have a relatively friendly message board with left & right of center views with a few extremes and we need to shut it down. Exactly. For all the aspersions cast upon this board by those who rarely frequent it, the level of discourse is usually a cut above what you'll find across most of the internet. And while some of us have takes on issues that may occasionally flirt with the fringe we don't have any regulars who are all that extreme, with the possible exception of the guy who thinks all cops are terrorists. AD was the perfect mod because he is extremely tolerant of views he finds absurd, but will cast out the few who attempt to bring the board down. The bottom line is, if the Shoshins of the world are honestly looking for a thoughtful debate they can find it here. Ironically, the only people who may have difficulty finding such a thing are those that entertain the possibility that Orange Man might not be so bad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realtruelove Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 It's baffling to me why some here would like PPP taken down. Why not just leave? Seems like common sense? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's time to flush PPP and it's not because of something that happened in the last 3 months--when you started PPP my understanding is that it was a place for the Bills fans to talk politics. It's since become its own thing, for worse, whether it's liberal trolls, pizzagate believers, massive content retweeters and news pasters, etc. And there are so many political outlets these days. When someone tells you so plainly what he is, believe him. If you have a problem with PPP, don't come here and spew your horror and distaste about the place. Just stay away and don't come here to try to press your cancel culture on everybody else. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westside Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 You know there's a problem when life long Democrats want the trolls gone,not just the people on the right. I lost track how many times I've been called a racist or a nazi because I had a different opinion. Yet, here they still are, bragging and boasting about how everyone else should behave. It's pretty disgusting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently understanding what free speech is and is not is a really hard concept for the right to grasp. You think it allows you to say and do anything you want on a private message board. But you think it's ok for police to assault the press, shoot people in the face and use chemical weapons on them at peaceful protests. The level of cognitive dissonance on display from your crowd is staggering. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is like the 5th time you've brought it up in unrelated conversation. You sound like an idiot.

This is a microcosm of the socialist rhetoric, thinking that things just appear out of nowhere, and tearing thing down will lead to a better outcome, even after you chase away people who build things. Enjoy your victory. Bye bye. Well then, don't keep showing up and promising to leave, "just do it"! 5 hours ago, Reality Check said: The posters who began their accounts in March of 2017 are exceptional. They are among the very best. Says the newbie who joined in November 2019 and who laughs at the deaths of 210,000+ Americans from the coronavirus.

Again, you seem to be confused. I'm under no illusion that this is a private message board and I can be censored or have people oppose what I say without it being against my "free speech". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The level of cognitive dissonance on display from your crowd is staggering. The irony here is staggering. Let me take these one by one for you: Free speech allows you to communicate the facts and opinions you choose to. The fact that it's a private message board means only that the owner of the message board has the right to abridge free speech if he sees fit. In this case the OWNER of the private message board has allowed free speech to exist in this forum. A relatively new poster is now lobbying him to change that. And I've never supported police doing any of the things you've listed, although you and I have vastly different definitions of "peaceful protests." That topic can be discussed in the appropriate thread. No need to hijack this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
