Tell that to your irish mates, corpus.
They didnt have a single piece of direct evidence.
She is a scape goat for the NHS failed system.
I don't know what this is doing in the mod thread but no, Lucy Letby was not innocent lol. Her own handwritten notes show this.

I hope their casseroles are better made than their plates, which chip extremely easily.

This place is clearly just going to continue its long backslide into reactionary right-wing dogshit. I doubt the election will change much and I don't see any of tptb developing a sense of shame any time soon.
I don't care enough to tally up but there seems to be quite a bit of left leaning people who post here regularly - chez, jal, micro, d2, vic, Mr rick, Biggerboat, Bryce, CN and both Gansta and Roc are left leaning. I mean, it was pretty much all lefties before but there seems to be at least somewhat of a even mix, atm as opposed to a decrepit shanty shack of sensitive pinko heads.

He's stanned for Letby before when he isn't stanning for serial rapist Daniel Holtzclaw. Nothing will convince him otherwise.

I'd argue it's better than the echo chamber experiment that started off with everyone celebrating that they were finally free of all the reactionary right-wing dogshit, before quickly realising that they had nobody left to dogpile and turning on each other.

Who are you calling left leaning? I'm just anti-Trump. Is that considered left leaning these days?

Oh, and you forgot Victor. He was so far off into the distance when you looked left, you couldn't see him.

I never suggested that moderating the forum to everyone's satisfaction should be the goal. I was noting that it is impossible, and for that reason, any prospective moderator should expect lots of complaining about moderation. For example, you complain about every moderator of this forum. I'm sure that pattern would continue with any new moderator. And you are not alone. Several other regulars take exactly the same approach.

And opinions about how the forum should be moderated don't break along political lines. There are posters far to the left and far to the right of you who have said publicly that they want much lighter touch moderation than you want.

The first question for whoever is running the show is "What kind of a forum do you want?" A place where everyone is happy is obviously silly. A forum where adults discuss current events in the style of SE, or OOT is possible only with buy-in from mods willing to apply remedial site-wide rules (i.e., a practical impossibility). If you truly want an anything-goes zoo, why not just have that.

What we have now is kind of the worst of all worlds where some mod will occasionally censor Mirco for saying a naughty word but will gloss over the usual racist garbage that's become a hallmark of the community.

tbh it doesn't appear that to be the case.

I have never heard you spend a positive word toward a right-wing policy proposal in general, or right-wing politicians in the USA or Europe.

if you were an anti-trump right-wing person you would (in some random order) talk very harshly about immigration , taxation, regulations, something that the lefts wants and implements and the the right doesn't want in the same terms and implements very differently.

I don't think you have even the vague idea what a reactionary right-wing forum looks like.

I know as I used to spend some time around those places and I quit when I was called a communist because I don't hate the federal reserve existing and many other bad words because I don't want to make it illegal for brown people to immigrate in white majority countries.

abortion debates in those forums are something like "we should leave it legal for brown and black people and illegal for whites", that's reactionary dog **** forum level, you don't even grasp it until you go into it

But again, what is the goal here? No moderation policy is going to work if the people in charge can't articulate that. "A place where everyone is happy" is obviously not going to work.

A rather large number of regs have done just this, I'm sort of rubbernecking at this point.

I probably wouldn’t use bans unless something extreme came up. I’m all about snacks and 5 minute breaks these days. I have a little one to think of and it’s softened me up, so you can blame her

I will, of course, need to be compensated though. Just one Le Creuset! A real bargain!

He has tried, and his contribution to the adult discussion was that adults are more susceptible to peer pressure than these children at university.

Ahaa, good that you mention the notes bc the notes mean nothing.
Ask a lawyer, they mean absolutely nothing in this case which means this case is completely botched as they pretty much leaned on this piece of bs "evidence"
Convicting someone on notes alone is illegal but they did.
You would have to convict every nurse probably on this planet if that would be the case.
She wrote she is evil she did this, which you and the court misinterpreted.
She might have said that bc it happened on her shift and she felt responsible.
Nothing else. A lot of people write notes like that, doesnt mean theyre guilty.
The case has to be re-done.
