Pv7.0 New Mod and some rules being changed. - Page 6 - Politics version 7.0 -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

apparently the only way to finish this statement accurately would be to use your own name, as is evidenced by you making this statement with any name at all

You've finally discovered the link between Breitbart and Trump, what's your next story Woodward?

I think it's probably about time for me to suggest we end this little derail fwiw.

Juan is an AI chatbot and a poorly coded one at that. It didn't even want to take the Turing Test due to the test creator being homosexual.

And, Paul D calling out everyone else as a troll 24/7, his/her favorite way to troll is to call everyone else a troll.

well named means basically yet another liberal, though I'd give well named more credit in welcoming other viewpoints.

It's point that has be taken. Originally there were very few deletions, then I think we went too far the other way. There will be less deletions in future and any deletions will get a comment from the mod as as well.

An exception might be for the Moderation thread (and maybe this one) where irrelevant stuff might still have to be zapped with extreme prejudice.

A little buggie has appeared to test your faith in the Buddah. Don't zap it, less you make the Buddah sad

Will he zap the buggie? Is he a good Buddhist? Find out next time on zap or no zap!

Why did you shut down the bad posters thread, Chez? You were winning.

Are you implicitly claiming to have both failed and succeeded at this test by offering it?

My newnew name proposal to make the forum named well is to call it YALF or "yet another liberal forum" for short.

It may be pointless to say this but it is not my intention for this to be a "liberal forum".

Then can you spell out exactly what your Utopia Forum would be? What result would you like to see here in your dreams, where you can sit back and say "This is the end result of my work. I am happy."?

This is just an awful post that just couldn't be more wrong.

While many posters in this forum vehemently disagree with each other, it is of no surprise that players from both sides can agree your posts are terrible.

It's fine that the !!! threads are gone since they went over the top,but it'll be unfortunate if the more light-hearted **** talking is eliminated. As someone mentioned, there's a lot more editing by Chez these days.

Perhaps I do tolerate the intolerant. For example stereotypes. I think there's a place for stereotypes until it becomes something mean, exaggerated and untrue. So, I'd say I have SOME tolerance for intolerance.

I'm partial to the light hearted banter and think it's generally good for discussions. I wont be trying to stop that.

The tolerance discussion is a tad simplistic. Good subject for a thread imo. I'm more or less a Rawlsian
