2020 is the year from hell and the bad news is it's not over with. When I disagreed with DR it never became disagreeable always friendly  , I wish him well.

Amazing how DR can respectfully interact with someone who doesn't share his perspective isn't it? The a-- hole variable just might be in play here.

shut up already.     Isn’t there a covid thread off the wall you can participate in ? 
 

all this veiled trolling, we know what you did.    

Does TBD need to fix your ignore function or do you need a lesson? 
 

And now you lied about me twice in two days in addition to saying you were putting me on ignore, a third lie but about yourself.
 

Anyways, Here’s how to use the ignore feature:

i did not want to jump into this discussion. however, i can not sleep due to the bad taste that this whole situation has left in my mouth. 

 

this your sandbox and we are all here by your good graces. your house, your rules. it is a beautiful site you have created, well rounded and vibrant.

 

with that said, as you said, this is your point of view.  from where i sit, it is not very professional, nor right to come out with 'your view' as to the course of events while having the, 'alleged' offending party unable to defend themselves because they were banned by, you. this is tantamount to 'pushing a narrative' with no real discussion allowed except for those thoughts of outside parties.

 

from life experiences, i know that more often than not, there is one side and the other side and more often than not, the actual truth of a situation lies somewhere in between. however, we shall never get to hear directly from both sides.

 

case in point:

again, from my perspective, this does seem to be somewhat of a large distinction. from a legal perspective, sympathizing with and being are two major differences. a difference that will land one years in a penitentiary.

 

 

 

***** it, i don't care at this point, while i'm here... just an observation or two on recent events of the past few months.

 

@Deranged Rhino was banned, then i was banned, then @Hedge was banned, then @B-Man was banned, all within the span of roughly three weeks. DR was banned for a call out thread, of which he privately acknowledged being wrong for doing. Hedge was banned for posting the longest joke in the world, when it had become standard fare down here to disrupt what many are of the opinion of being stupid threads mainly by posting recipes and then discussing food. B-Man caught a suspension for merely quoting the longest joke in the world. myself, i managed to catch a suspension for posting on the main board, in a political thread. as i admitted to others, i probably deserved the suspension, though imo, there were much worse comments in that, political thread on TSW. what i thought was kind of bush league, again was not the actual act of being suspended, i'm a big boy i can handle *****, but rather the desire you had to make it personal. when things stray from being professional then it becomes a problem in my book.

 

with regard to DR's, Hedge's and B-man's suspensions, there is no uniformity in the discipline. we are told PPP is a mod free zone, you guys take care of it yourselves. so we do and then all of a sudden there is moderation and discipline. the sum of the parts just doesn't add up to be quite frank.

 

from my point of view, it stinks of persecution. anyone who ventures into the shoutbox can see your political stance on display. if you don't want your website to be affiliated with those who do not buy the national syndicated narrative, just say so. who did you ban from the liberal side of the political spectrum? the only one i am aware of is Gary and that only happened because i pointed out precedent in a thread.

 

it is my understanding that PPP was created to give an outlet for and to keep politics out of the mainboards. politics is not for the weak of heart, nor mind. just look to our political elite, they can't be civil with one another yet we are expected to be? we are merely a reflection of the country. until it gets better, we won't get better.

 

again, outside of the grievances listed above, while it may not seem like it with this post, i have nothing but the utmost respect for you. 

 

Persecution.  That made me chuckle.  

 

Here’s the deal.  He who owns the site makes the rules.  The fact that advertisements appear on the site indicate that, to at least a certain extent, it is a business.  

 

My sense of the tenor here is that this place was a right-wing echo chamber for a long time that slowly became conspiratorial in conjunction with the rise of the QAnon conspiracy theory.  Some people with different viewpoints, e.g., moderate to left wing beliefs grounded in truth, science, and fact, began to patronize this forum—perhaps in view of the pandemic and the increased work from home/down time—and began to challenge the positions and views taken by what formerly was the vast majority of community members who post on this site.  Some of those challenges were and are based on humor, satire, and sarcasm, e.g., characterizing right-wing tropes such as mass voter fraud and the lies that accompany that theory as a “hoax” and “fake news.”  

 

That was not accepted well.  Instead of engaging in civil discourse and dialogue grounded in things such as truth, science, and fact, many extreme right or alt-right posters defaulted to denigrating those with different views.  I can’t speak to precisely how many times I have been called a “pedo,” “vile,” “soulless scum,” “idiot,” “3rd Chair,” “deeply stupid,” etc.  But it’s a lot.  

 

None of it is bothersome, and some of it can be taken in good humor (3rd Chair is actually kind of funny).  But other insults, frankly, would be disturbing if attached to my real name.  I can guarantee that somebody who slandered me as a “pedo” in conjunction with my given name would receive suit papers in short order.  And it wouldn’t be a summons with notice, either.  

 

Much of the vitriol also is tiresome.  Let’s return to the point about this being an ad-based community.  Surely there’s a balance between promoting discourse (it attracts eyeballs and clicks) and permitting dialogue that actually runs off customers.  I sense that the site owner recognized that the insult of some of his customers had become too vitriolic and too mean-spirited.  I wouldn’t want to be responsible for that kind of dialogue, and I suspect that he doesn’t either.  

 

So, in the end, a decision in furtherance of that point was made.  I respect it.  And I’ll note the irony in the extreme right alt-right crowd complaining about the “death” of an anonymous Internet username during a pandemic in which over 200,000 Americans have died—many without sympathy here and many of them needlessly for reasons well explained in other parts of this forum.  

 

So perhaps this “ban” issue is best summarized this way:  it is what it is.

What are your thoughts on that exchange, Teddy?

That you conveniently left out your trolling posts that preceded that. That after years of you stalking and mocking DR under multiple names, that you act like a victim after you get smacked around. You earned it with your dishonesty over the years. 

 

I sincerely think it's possible that you have dissociative identity disorder (not referring to your multiple screen names). One day you'll be all about civility and everyone being better. You even seem earnest about it. You implore everyone to rise above the fray. Then the next day you abandon that. You will just troll and mock posts all day. You'd follow DR into every thread he was in. Yet you'd complain that he was obsessed with you. Your next step would be to act like an abused victim. It's pretty sad that you'd play the victim after you repeatedly threw the first punch.

 

The reason you're not respected is not because you're a liberal, but because you've proven time and again you're a troll and a hypocrite, Gary (aka peaceout, aka Warren Zevon, aka WAcKy ZeBrA).

 

Quit trolling and try to engage like  @Crayola64 has. His contributions have been great since he decided to just have honest discussions. People like him, @Doc Brown and @ALF make this place better when they make it less of an echo chamber with different viewpoints.

I encourage SDS, if he dares, to read through the entire QANON thread and make his own decision.

Gary (aka peaceout, aka Warren Zevon, aka WAcKy ZeBrA)

 

I have had two usernames here (You are allowed to change your user name every X # of days)

 

Gary (which I changed twice) and my current user name. I changed to this username because I was sent a meme in the mail of Gary Busey - except it was sent to my parents house. Sooo someone tried to look me up and mailed a printed meme to my old address. I followed this up by changing my user name and soon sent a PM to DR to ask him to stop slandering my name. Instead of stopping, he continued to do so through a PM. I then tagged SDS in that PM and he basically told us both to STFU. I respected his decision and have STFU about it ever since. Anyone who tattled on DR since I received the STFU from SDS August 4th was not me.

 

I have no proof of who sent that piece of mail, so I have not accused anyone of doing so, and never will accuse anyone of doing so. 

 

Was it the best idea to change to this current username? No. I'll be changing it again when I am allowed.

That is twisted that somebody would do something like that.
