Here's a thread for anybody interested.

Mat says that he'll happily discuss the topic here.
06-03-2017 , 06:20 PM
lol, quite a thread you've got here. Liam Gallagher? Lauren Graham? Lee Greenwood? At least Lee Greenwood knows he's free.

While I haven't got a LG monitor, I think it's pretty terrible to ban people who do.

Srsly - when will you be coming for my Asus-monitors? This isn't right at all.

LG = Loud Gays

I'm curious of the logic in this decision.

Mason would routinely get a "what would our advertisers think?" hair up his ass about scantily-clad women pictures in bbv4l and action was taken to preserve the forum/company in the eyes of advertisers.

LG points out that advertisers might not like to find their ads next to homophobic, white nationalist posting on this forum or whatever and instead of correcting the forum to preserve the company in the eyes of advertisers, LG gets nuked.

Aside from that not making sense, how does banning LG dissuade him from acting on his threat of drawing attention to the issue elsewhere?

lg actually posted a number bad reviews on amazon which included statements like: "...the company runs a creepy internet forum where posters discuss having sex with minors."

we were able to get the reviews removed. we didn't know who had posted them until he flat out admitted he had done so. further research proved it was him, though anyone who had wanted to take credit for those reviews and encouraged others to make them would have also been banned.

that was the sole reason for the ban. it was not because he was giving me a hard time about some of the content on the site. i didn't want to reveal this immediately to the public, as i worried that people upset about the ban might try something similar. i figured if a couple days passed before revealing the details, that might prevent someone making an emotional decision like that.

Mat have you considered that maybe you wouldn't have to fear people accurately describing the MULTIPLE subforums for right wing weirdos you've cultivated if you, I don't know, didn't do **** like mod chezlaw ? ****ing chezlaw!

I mean, you know LG's posts there are talking about your delightful chinese friend wil, who 100% made a bunch of posts about libtards being too SJW about pedophilia, right? And the rest of the delightfully intellectually objective Rubin report listeners who went to bat for Milo. Are you ashamed of your people, Mat? Shouldn't you want customers to learn about your friends and the great discussions that happen without the censorship of the regressive left?
06-04-2017 , 01:26 AM
I mean what LG did here was the lamest **** and he totally should've been banned for being a nerd who cares way too much(completely divorced from content at all, like, what, making an account at Amazon and **** to spam bad reviews is way too mad online regardless of any provocation), but Mat, I think you may want to think real hard about what makes you laugh and who you trust if suddenly you're getting all SJW about race realism and hebephilia advocacy and all the rest of that 4chan bull**** that you've cheerlead into Politics 7.0.

A forum that literally only exists as a place where people can post that **** with chezlaw's protection, since there's already a normally moderated political discussion forum.

His statement wasn't quite true but did you read some of the defences of Milo's under-age sex antics?

You're lucky he didn't reference Toothsayer's support of bestiality.
06-04-2017 , 07:56 AM
Who cares, never liked LetsGamfool.

So I dont care.

My vote is for I dont care

Could we put I dont care as an option in the poll?

Because I just really do not care

Edit: BAN OP

I mean, you know LG's made posts there are talking about your delightful Chinese frienda poster wil. wil is a USA born citizen of Korean descent which is irrelevant. who 100% made a bunch of posts about libtards being too SJW about pedophilia, right?wil was relentlessly cyber bullied by LG. Anyon can look in the posting history of the forum to verifyAnd the rest of the delightfully intellectually objective Rubin report listeners who went to bat for Milo. Are you ashamed of your people, Mat? Shouldn't you want customers to learn about your friends and the great discussions that happen without the censorship of the regressive left? Are these politics forums really worth the trouble they cause? TwoPlusTwo has a vested interest in seeing the game of poker grow to its full potential. Obviously the online poker situation in the USA is a barrier. Reversing UIGEA would be great. A carve out for poker would do the trick and based on the obvious fact that poker is a game of skill, just like betting on horses, and just like fantasy sports betting the carve out is totally justified. Consider that laws have to change and who you have to convince to change them. I think you may realize that it is stupid to give politicians an easy target to shoot at with all the good content on this site being overshadowed by the hateful content. I mean there is no doubt that TwoPlusTwo is a leader in the poker community. Naturally being a leader means increased scrutiny as a representative for poker. If you actually got rid of the politics forums you'd lose some traffic but I think gain some credibility. The **** is already spilling into other places like Amazon. Hard to see how the politics forums are worth it
FYP

Confirmed now LG is left wing weirdo. Thanks for confirming that.

LG clearly was unstable and way out of line, and Mat is within his right to boot him.

Having said that, if there's genuine concern over the public image of 2p2, it's weird that tptb aren't worried about thinly-veiled hate speech that's infecting one or two of the subforums. Like, "a creepy internet forum where posters discuss having sex with minors" isn't an inaccurate description of P7.

LOL adios had a ****ing mental breakdown or something here, but let me clarify that that's all assuming Mat's version is correct.

Which is not fair to LG, and since Mat deleted all the posts and then told his moderator friends not to explain probably shouldn't be the default assumption.
06-04-2017 , 11:57 AM
Oh also he modded chezlaw and whosnext in the first place. That's a real knock to ye olde credibility here. Like I said in my pro bono PR post in the forum, this **** isn't that hard, but you gotta think big picture for just a little bit if you want to get away with this sort of ****.

Yea they should listen to a lying piece of ****. You fools tell your lies so often, you believe them.

Who are these white supremacists? Who was supporting Milo? Mat can end all this crap by banning you.
06-04-2017 , 02:32 PM
Without naming names, the white supremacists are/were posters in P8.8 who keep finding new and innovative ways to state their uni-obsession that black people are genetically inferior, for example, obviously without a shred of scientific evidence as support.

Is that white supremacist enough for you?

There's a dude in this very thread who has posted Sandy Hook conspiracy theories and sovereign citizen nonsense.

Can you describe these new and innovated ways? Because I doubt white supremacists deserve such credit and it is more likely they are merely re-texturing their old tired ways.

There was supposed to be a measure of sarcasm that I guess didn't come across very clearly.
06-06-2017 , 03:46 AM
If people dont want to look like racists and bigots it would help if they did not trot out those old racist and bigoted arguments. But they do...

It is fun watching them fall into their fainting couches when the racist label comes out though. Wait wait im just intellectually curious about blacks testosterone and IQ and breading habits and bring it up whenever i discuss them, why would you ever think im a racist thats crazy.

So all of this is because of two posters? You guys don't think calling 2+2 stormfrontlite is a bit much?
06-06-2017 , 01:59 PM
Those two posters plus high-volume low-content wil, who'd love to join in with the white supremacy BS but cant because he's not white, so did the water carrying for them instead.
