The ignore option is a feature, indeed.

Good luck to you.

I think we can be lite touch on a few LC personal attacks following a post with some content (that is what posters want I believe) but also step in when it's just becoming the bickering and same old personal battles which most posters don't seem to want in practice.
Just wanted to add im a bad person to ask about modding. I dont mind the low content. Even BroadwaySushys old man yelling at the room with ringing words is fine.

The same argument, the bad posters are drowning out the good ones, was made in RGT a bunch of times. For me i never understood why people cant just scroll by the low content posts and petty bickering and read the content. And if they want high content post it and not the other.

If you get into the mud like me you have no room to complain bout the room being muddy. The pure content posters (three or four...?) can and its fair i guess. But as long as the content posters post content and not let the rest get in the way it should be problem solved with a little scrolling and ignoring if you are into that.

I'm pleased for opportunity to apply my experience discerning prejudice and discrimination among the information brought in my communities. Such errors can't be corrected without awareness and understanding about them. Farewell.

For those don't understand the jabber, this is what Teh Jabber-Wookie is saying: "I will relentless try to get the last word in every single time my SN is mentioned, in any thread".

That's his MO. He's like those frogs that'll eat bbs all day long... as long as the bbs are rolled by at a certain speed.

I've enjoyed Spank's posts recently. The ones that are intelligible at least. He still goes full word salad a high %.

Do you remember red_man_plus? He was a dude who would randomly chime in with actual real word-salad poetry. He also didn't have the annoying habit of anyways trying to get the last word in. red_man_plus >>>>> Teh Jabber-Wookie.

I mostly agree with this although I think some of (1) can be entertaining if it coincides with content and I think a lot of (2) is unintentional although a bunch of intentional (2) also happens.

Admittedly I voted to Make Politics Unchained Great Again but seeing the results I'm having some second thoughts.

There is definitely more volume which I like but at the same time the Trump thread has completely disintegrated.

Most were born into this and have learned to hate it's perceived oppressors. Very few of you are able to let go and live in the moment. This anger is then projected onto the Conservative posters who are here simply to discuss some politics. It's very similar to what is going on with the Palestinians and Israelis. If you take a closer look, you will see that Conservatives are responding to the attacks from the liberals. Therefore, I would recommend that the liberal side dial back the anger. Observe instead of judge. Without attacks there will not be counter attacks. Only then will we be able to have positive discussions pertaining to politics.
Lol'd at bolded.

Also, I don't really agree with your post but the forum would be a lot better if you posted more like this and less like you post in other threads.

Also I'm a white male from an upper-middle class family, what do you make of that?

I will only say that he came into the forum most likely knowing that any conservative will get ripped. (And probably true for most liberals too.) I waded through tons of **** to get where I am, not that I'm sure I'm anywhere, yet.

How do you want the forum to be?
DoOrDoNot is kind of a weird case because he posted some complete **** and also posted some actual content discussion posts. He led with the **** though if I recall correctly.

I kind of struggle to articulate the kind of modding I would personally like to see.

Basically, I think the worst kind of posting possible is essentially JiggyMac's recent posting in the Trump thread. It's basically just nonsense, the content makes no attempt to logically refute the posts it responds to. If he just said "you're a moron" it would be better posting.

The leftists created this situation. So be it.
I don't see why this is. If there is a scale where 0 = absolutely no racism ever not even once and 10 = genocidal maniac, literally Hitler then everyone exists somewhere to the right of 0 on the scale. Why is it impossible to argue with someone who says one of your views is racist or bigoted?

This is possibly true.

I guess the post I just quoted above is a content post but for the most part, your posts are non-content. As I said to mongidig, the forum would be a lot better if you made more posts like the one above.

To be clear, I consider this a no-content post.

I think you all think way to much and make this much more complicated than it needs to be.

No, I mean you have a point, that ST is off-topic. I was trying to politely suggest to him that he either stop or take it to the LC thread. Sorry for the ambiguity.
