Personal Attacks in Political Forums by Poobahs Mr Wookie, 5ive, goofybalef AoFrantic etc - Page 2 - About the Forums

One thing that has become abundantly clear is that mildest warning from a mod are enough to cause a huge amount of whining - and it's not the preserve of the right wing at all.

Dude, I don't have a problem you're rules so much as you're the only person deciding what is and isn't acceptable as content. Wookie has Tom, who I believe has nailed me with a temp once or twice. Was there any whining there?

No idea and I wasn't targeting you specifically.

When you see all the whining about really quite mild warnings for breaking the rules, you must be able to see it's not about right wing or left wing. It's the nature of people and maybe particularly when it comes to politics.

I can agree with that. I think it has to do with good posting and bad posting thing more in Politics. Like Wookie forcing citations of wild claims that are inflammatory that usually derive from shady partisan sites.

The overwhelming majority of pro-Trump posts in P are nothing more than loling at people who are anti-Trump. People like BS are trolling and when the base calls them out for it, they bitch and complain here.

When any kind of argument is put forward that is pro-Trump, it is promptly debunked and the same occurs as above.

Perhaps work more on your arguments instead of crying.

A case could be made for some bias in favor of more upstanding members of P, but I would argue that they earned the benefit of the doubt for minor transgressions. People who exist to troll get what they deserve.

Well, I came into this thread looking for some examples that would let me wield my banhammer. I am sorely disappointed.

Let's cut the crap and face reality here. If you make pro-Trump posts in P you are going to get labelled a troll no matter what. You know it, I know it. It's got nothing to do with the strength of your argument.

I'm not crying about it. It is what it is, but don't give me that crap about it being a level playing field. That's pure horse****.

Oh bull****. Show one pro-trump post that was made in good faith and got labeled a troll. You can't because there aren't any.

Just click back to my original post on the topic and note how it was made in good faith with citation and was in fact a response to a question addressed to me.

You forgot to post the wind up to that post, probably just slipped your mind:

You guys really are a hoot.

There is no value in debating someone who simply doesn't live in reality. We might as well debate the colour of the sky on Kolob or how many square meters the elephants got on the arc.

BS doesn't know the difference between Trump and Gorka? What, all white guys look the same to him?

Also, for the record since BS is too lazy to use google apparently:

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics...g-fail/519843/

Is this another case of BS trolling?

Conclusive evidence is anything that would hold up in a court of law as proof of guilt.

If you weren't so (apparently) lazy yourself you would see that I provided a citation with my original post.

The testimony of relatives and members of that nazi group would hold up in any court of law.

That's debatable and no-one has given testimony in a court of law as yet.

But we're getting away from the point, which was me providing you with an example of good faith posting being labelled as trolling.

No, the point is you were provided with evidence that, if it had been in a court of law, would have shown to a reasonable person that Gorka was a Nazi. The evidence was given in good faith and you rejected it because you aren't arguing in good faith. You deserve all the trolling you get.
