Christianity was once a conspiracy theory!

All of the conspiracy theories about the Roman Catholic Church are actually true tho. Even the ones that contradict each other.

There is a known conspiracy against conspiracy theories. Look it up.

So infowars is now banned from the 2plus2 forum. On what basis? If you want to write off an entire alternative news site as 'conspiracy nonsense' then make a comment to that end, or even better just don't bother clicking on the link.

I think an authority figure seriously needs to have a word with Mr Wookie. His partisan / spiteful moderating is an absolute joke. The poltics forum has basically become a private club for vitriolic liberals to reinforce each others opinions whilst denigrating (not to mention banning) any alternative narratives.

Silly me thinking the politics forum was a place where people are supposed to debate politics. I would be interested to know how many users Mr Wookie has banned. I'd be surprised if it wasn't well over 500. How does it benefit the site as a business to be losing so many users / traffic because of a spiteful moderator?

Politics is a containment area for the idiots who cannot figure out that a poker forum is not the place for politics. Think of it as the short bus area.

Thanks for the response. I link a few things and did not want to overstep.

You mean they didn't?

Sounds a lot like the claim, oft repeated but never proved, that General Patton was murdered with a gun that fired a bolt or something just as his vehicle had the accident..... That way no one could prove that his death was anything but accidental.

But isn't there also a known conspiracy theory against conspiracy theories that are against conspiracy theories?? If there isn't - let's start one now!

What did you post in the Politics forum that got your original account banned?

The thing to take out of this thread is that Lee needs an ATF containment thread.

I don't understand the point of poison ice bullets.

They allegedly could kill a man without leaving a wound or a bullet or a detectable poison behind so that no one would ever know that the victim was assassinated.

And yes, the post got nuked, but it was just a lame UToobz video claiming this.

This is the video I was previously banned for. It wasn't accompanied by any assertions that the CIA had used it against Breitbart, rather with a lame joke "I heard shellfish toxin makes you a bit clammy". No warnings, zero infraction points - to an outright ban across the entire twoplustwo forum - for this.



Not sure how one could categorize a video merely documenting facts revealed in a congressional hearing as 'conspiracy nonsense', in a thread where other posters (who were not banned) had joked / commented on Breitbart being assassinated.

On the subject of instantly banning any poster who mentions conspiracy theories, where do you draw the line on what constitutes such an infraction?

Snowden? Greenwald? Assange? Pilger?

It seems like a rather obscure rule ripe for abuse.

I think Private Snowball has a case here, as I've previously posted in the Unchained lc thread.

I think OP should be banned for posting a 2 minute long uToob consisting of nothing more than 2 paragraphs of text in a crappy montage.

I was under the impression that anyone posting in Politards and taking it seriously probably needs to be banned.

It's serious business in there.

I posted "lol obamacare" in the Obamacare thread and got banned.

lol I just found this wordplay. Don't ban him, mod him!

He's thinking of others' well-being, not being shellfish.
