It is funny that Fly is moaning about his adult conversation being disrupted. I wouldn't call him a pussy though.

Btw, can we still do self-moderated threads? I thought that ended with the new regime.

I disagree with Kerowo. Chez is always on message.

As we have Kerowo here....

Can you explain more behind your pig ****ing decision?

I think it's over but I'm not 100% sure. They were dumb anyways IMO

Chez, Foldn:

Have you considered the possibility that YOU TWO are playing a role in inhibiting discussion of SERIOUS TOPICS™ in Unchained (a forum designed to allow some meanness) by complaining about people being mean rather than using all that time and energy to actually discuss stuff?

If internet meanness bothers you guys so much, why do you post here rather than in the "normal" politics forum?

I heard about some research today which uses small electro shocks to the brain to help a person recover from being interrupted more effectively.

? It's Fly and Trolly who complain that I talk to posters they have decided everyone should be mean to, not me complaining about them being mean. Hard to see how you have missed that. Fly's been marking his territory pretty clearly.

I enjoy a good bit of insulting each other in PU no idea why you brought that up unless it's because you're a moron.

No

It's covered in the moderation thread

Yes, I know that people have called you out for getting chummy with pedos etc.... but wait, are you denying that you tone police discussions?

Lol, are you still mad at me for those times I said that you never actually have a point to make?

I'm policing your insidious accusation of guilt by association with pedophiles. It's stupid and not funny.

I'm not mad at you at all. Just pointing out that the conflict in P is Fly and Trolly throwing their toys out of the pram because I'm not mean enough to people for their liking.

Aren't Fly and trolly trying to tone police me when they object to me not being mean enough to people?

and I'm perfectly happy to indulge in being mean in PU - have you got the point yet you dumb ****?

That's a weird question. You're saying they take objection to your kindness? Or something?

They object to me talking to some posters in a manner differently to the way they do. It is very weird but it's not like its over any big disagreements with them on the political arguments so it's tone policing isn't it?

has the forum language gone so barmy that it's not tone policing if it's objecting to not being mean enough?

Most of us post at least a little different than each other (to the point that gimmicks can often be detected simply by the poster's writing style.) I've never heard of someone taking offense with another poster for not attempting to post more like them. That would be a pretty entertaining back and forth though.

Are you sure their complaints about you are about your lack of meanness to others? That sounds kinda absurd.

When it comes to the political arguments we have few disagreements, they object to me not being mean enough to posters who we jointly disagree with politically and then they and others complain about me taking the piss out of them them for the way they object - rinse and repeat.

Lol, the dispute was in P where pvn accused me of supporting a genocidal maniac, Slobodan Milosevic. Oh, no, I mean Bill Maher. That guy. Yeah, he explained that Bill Maher advocates carpet bombing. So I called him out, and instead of walking back or providing any evidence whatsoever he barged on. Some others are now piling on him for being a douchebag. Oh, no, I mean me and the other genocidal maniac supporters in SMP.

Chez, when someone is policing who you are corresponding with or why, that is not tone.

Tone police is mostly nonsense political speak. This ain't no hearing testing center.

Jesus Christ, you ****ing moron, I'm mocking you with that ****. Clearly "we"(a.k.a. not you, never you) can do that. We just have to post around your whiny contributions. It'd be better if we didn't, thus my recommendation re: going back to SMP.

lol I don't care how nice you are to other people, the issue is that you constantly lie in an attempt to upbraid anyone who isn't absolutely enthralled with the bold intelligence of AM radio nonsense, which does tend to actually tangent the thread into people trying to correct your mistatements(see, for example, FoldN's whining about carpet bombing? Does SMP have a sticky that makes you guys believe that these posts are not all public? The constant dishonesty is annoying as ****).

Also, no, I don't believe you and I agree on much. For one thing, that would require you to actually have a point, which you never do. But for another, naw, I think everyone is pretty comfortable with pegging you as a reactionary cretin.

Again, just real quick test of adult conversation-having ability, SMP let Bruce spout his bull**** for YEARS pretty much uncontradicted. After like 3 posts in Politics, the grownups ran him off, to the immediate benefit of the level of discourse. Problem: solved.

It's really not complicated. SMP people literally cannot be engaged on substance without constant tangents into tone policing and feelingsball. It's literally incredible, they'll do it even when the people involved in the conversation are trying to talk, but if any right wing hite guy is so much as hinted to have a character flaw... it's temper tantrum time, pause the discussion so chez can yell at his enemies list.

More childish screaming Fly.

Proving the point yet again.

more tone policing
