It's not supposed to be an echo chamber for the weak. Historically, it's always been messy. But thanks for narcing. You're clearly exactly what PPP needs more of.

B-Man Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 The content on this board will suffer without posters as intelligent and well rounded as Deranged Rhino, that is beyond dispute despite what some of the lesser lights here say. He did not suffer fools gladly and with the ever increasing number of fools on PPP I know many of his replies caused some to head to their fainting couches, but maybe they learned something Also, I am concerned that DR’s defense of our President may have been a contributing factor to this “ban”. It seems that the free speech forum is only for some views. 11 1 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leh-nerd skin-erd Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 10 minutes ago, The Frankish Reich said: I for one want him back. I have never complained about anyone on this board or any other. Not my style. But if and when he's back I'd like to see people call him on his more out-there conspiratorial thought. I tried to do that. He got defensive and tried to drive me out of here. And from that long "Save PPP" thread it was obvious that he thinks those who disagree or are prone to calling him out on what is, quite frankly, his b.s., have no place here. I'm old to TBD, new to PPP. I mostly enjoy discussing political analysis and polls. And I am not thin skinned. Bring it on, but be ready to defend your position with something other than "you are not awake; do your own research; what you see is not what is really going on." You sound sorta thin-skinned to be honest. I read many of your threads back and forth with DR and you didn’t seem all that fearful of being “driven out of here”. Any reasonable reader picking up a topic might well conclude you were the offending party. As for seeking to gather others to help you in your quest to call the man out, three thoughts: 1. Being the guy who tells the other guys where the torches and pitchforks are hidden doesn’t mean you’re not part of a larger problem; 2. Unless you’re brand 🤬ing new as of this very moment, if you haven’t seen countless posters taking shots at the guy, often in what appears to be a coordinated fashion, welcome to this country and all the best on learning the language and all the subtleties contained therein; 3. Even if you personally believe that something is a conspiracy theory, why do you care? Ignore it. Move on. Consider that you might be a tad condescending in calling out what someone else may believe. Hell we’ve got morons running about thinking the FBI just had a bad day when they sought to unseat The President. True story—after some $#@*bird whined the last time (and for God’s sake what a weasel that person is), I suggested the old saying “When you lie down with dogs, you might get fleas” might well be one he wanted to revisit. As @Buffalo_Gal has said many times, DR seems at times to have the patience of Job. This comes from a person, btw, who enjoys reading some of your thoughts on certain issues. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frankish Reich Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Again, I wanted DR here. I was quite clear that I wanted to expose exactly how poisonous some of his conspiratorial thinking was getting. But in shoshin's defense: he did seem to think that this wasn't Politics, Pundits, and Polls, but rather "Anti-Trump Insurrection, World Conspiracy, and the Coming Reckoning." Everything revolved around that. And from what I've learned -- thank you DR, you led me into studying how bizarre this whole world is -- that is unfortunately typical for those who have gone off the mega-conspiracy deep end. It doesn't foster conversation or even arguments of the less polite type when someone is always out there thinking their political opponents are child molesters. Yes, some things are beyond the pale. I'm not for banning people from saying them, but I am, and always will be, ready to call them on it whenever and wherever I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
