And I'm sure one of our resident deplorables will represent the Nazi side in court.

Let me refresh your selective memory. You cited a book that obviously no one here is going to buy and read on the strength of your recommendation, and as usual failed to cite any of its contents, saying only

One might have thought that would've changed your opinion on whether open white supremacy was a funny bit on the internet that doesn't really matter. Oh well. Maybe next hate crime.

Memorial day is painful enough remembering our lost comrades. Losing average joe on Decoration day is no laughing matter. My heart goes to those who are suffering.

I will say that the back-and-forth between the two went over the line (in Mat's view). You can PM Mat if you want to know more (no guarantee that he will say anything).

Not sure that chezlaw or I can or should say anything more than that.

Was his LG account already banned? Or did Mr. free speech kill that one too?
05-29-2017 , 09:27 PM
It appears that the LG account was banned by the same person on the same day that the average joe account was banned.

People getting faded on Memorial's Day. Only in Trump's Murriccccaaaaa
05-29-2017 , 09:57 PM
any moderator who looks at those accounts will know the reason for the ban. if they feel the ban is not justified, i'm sure we'll hear from them. but i'm not going to say anything more about it, publicly.

whosnext -- is the reason for LG's ban obvious and reasonable in your opinion? It's a real shame as he provided some of the best moments in forum history.

Yes, in my humble opinion LG/AJ went over the line in his comments toward Mat and 2+2. The "clincher" was what LG/AJ threatened to do (which I will not disclose for obvious reasons).
05-29-2017 , 10:43 PM
LG posting as Joe accused 2+2 of welcoming and/or supporting white supremacists (and linked something from SMP as supporting evidence) then threatened to post this info on 2+2 book reviews around the web.

Oh, this was after Mat said we should all post our real names and addresses if we want to insult FoldN. Or something like that.

Well I'm sure that definitely won't happen now.

I can't read the deleted posts so I'll have to take your word on this, but I would note that he probably has a right to be pissed given that you and/or chezlaw (probably just chez) banned him for a made up reason and never addressed the many people who pointed out the utter falsehood of the given ban reason.

I mean, this is still in the rules sticky:

such ideas do not deserve welcoming. look at the most recent example of the republican attacking a reporter bc he asked a question. even the witnesses from fox news reported that the reporter did not in any way provoke the attack.

the "conservatives" have rallied behind this attack simply bc the guy was on their team. that is what I mean when I say that conservatives do not own any sort of consistent ideology. they value gaining as much power and destroying their opponents in any way possible. they do not disavow violence. rather they fully support violence against their enemies.

they espouse hate at every level.

they are undoubtedly a blight on society and need to be eradicated.

So what do you actually believe? You never even made clear what kind of immigration you think has a positive economic impact on the host country, or do you believe all groups of immigrants have a positive economic impact like only the most extreme and brainwashed leftists believe?

The bulk of academic studies is on my side and I also know the counterarguments from the left. Do you know them? I am just trying to figure out how clueless you are.

References are given in Tino Sanandajis book, but I won't look for online links to them unless I have to, instead here is a chart from a Danish government sponsored study on the net costs of immigrants.

Fig 1.3: Cost by age, dark blue native Danish, light blue western immigrants, red non western immigrants. At no age group are non western immigrants a net positive to the Danish economy.

Fig 1.4: Light blue adjusts for age demographics, dark blue does not, the last two categories show the net cost for non-western and second generation non immigrants per year in thousands of danish crowns.
