Despite the odd monumental cock up, the key purpose of the more modding I dont think you like very much was to square the circle between preventing racist/etc posting while NOT having to exclude people. It was evolving and Well Named's latest proposed rules are the next iteration - give him his own forum - use force if required

*you're

If you would only renounce that Greenland comment I could replace Chris V with you as ours smartest poster.

I like Well Named and i dont know his new rules but if he got a forum his would boot a lot of the same people who got exiled from here id guess.

Mansplaining to women is never a smart move. Your proclamation of intelligence rights have been revoked.

He linked to his 'new rules' a few posts ago

Not so sure crossnerd would be on board with not comment.

I don't think she'd mind it the way I meant it. Which is cuse's mansplaining words to someone offended by said words is patriarchal.

One links to the mod forum and even tough thats where the best petty bickering probably is they dont let me lurk that for some reason. With the other i dont think most of the exiles would cut the mustard. As soon as Islam came up.

Indeed. That's a big part of what I called being PC.

I can't read the mod link either but WN provided a snippit in post #103

I think we can agree he would exile a subset of the people who would be exiled from here. How big a subset remains to be seen (possibly)

Seriously David? These look like things someone who would be able to identify a bunch of countries on a map would say?





I mean, I know you're probably just messing with us on this whole Trump geography thing, but still... enough's enough lol...

It's only mainsplaining if it's condescending or patronizing. I don't think my post is either of those things. There's maybe one sentence that you could argue was condescending, and I didn't intend it that way but in re-reading it now, it may come across that way, for which I hereby offer an apology to Crossnerd.

I should not have said, "The problem you're going to have here," which can be deemed condescending. I should have said something like, "The problem I have with the argument you're making."

For that I am sorry.

I stand by the rest of the post as not being condescending or patronizing, nor sexist.

Id like to file a complaint about his new avatar.





I dont care for it.

Trumps school maps show Greenland bigger than Australia. I'm sure Chris knew that. So you are still no2

I was trying to embed the wind and record deepness clips by the way, for some reason it added other threaded ones.

But yeah, I'm aware of that... But it has no bearing on my opinion. In fact I'd guess that most Americans are more likely to be able to identify Australia than Greenland.

Regardless, I'm not too worried about where you rank me... I went to Syracuse, I'm used to being on the bubble then doing some damage once we get into the dance.

Favorite SU team.





Lazarus Sims was underrated.

Uh, we had this exact same argument in September of 2017, (this thread, starts at #57393, goes for several pages). In fact, here I am making precisely Crossnerd's argument (a number of other posters made similar points):

There was pushback from several regulars, one of whom argued that "whore" is not a gendered word. And here we are again and people are still doing it. So I'm not sure "no need to argue Crossnerd, everyone's solid" is accurate.

I'm not entirely sure what cuse said about Trump and Greenland, but I'm pretty sure I am 100% on board with it.

I literally posted that people shouldn’t be using that word. I also think that defending one of the most terrible and monstrous people in American politics today (behind only all the other trumps except maybe Barron in terribleness) because somebody used a sexist trope against her is probably not the hill to die on here.

Edit: Sorry, just saw you were temp-banned and can’t respond.

Mason,

Millions and millions of people think that all jews are evil subhuman scum who should be violently wiped from the earth. Is that mainstream enough to be ok to be discussed in this forum? Perhaps I could mod a new forum called "should there be a second holocaust?". I'm on the no side at the moment but it doesn't help to have a closed mind about mainstream views. Maybe there's a convincing argument out there I just haven't heard yet.

So a whoreable person?

Re the "mainstream", thing, stuff that roughly half the country believes also include that electrons are not smaller than atoms, that lasers work by focusing sound waves, that antibiotics kill viruses and that humans did not evolve from an earlier species of primate. Should we take these ideas seriously on 2+2? A study also showed that Fox News viewers answer less questions about current affairs correctly than people who watch no news at all (other studies have reached similar conclusions). In short, "it's mainstream and on Fox" is an extremely poor justification for taking something seriously. Qanon is mainstream.

Support for Trump is also a fringe position worldwide. "How much confidence do you have in President Trump" scores 10% in Germany, 9% in France, 7% in Spain when you COMBINE the "some" and "a lot" responses.

I went to my orientation as a member of the Australian Greens tonight. A federal election will be announced soon (this weekend, it's rumoured) so it's a good time to be getting involved. Apparently my wheelhouse of web development/database management is in high demand, not many environmentalist nerds, it would seem. Their policies page is here if anyone is interested.

Lol u kidder

Lol, come on dude, half the country thinks an electron is what makes your tv work, thinks that lasers work by magic, and doesn’t even know there is a difference between viruses and bacteria. Giving them credit that they even know that electrons and atoms are things, let alone which one is bigger is way too much credit.

Edit: I may be technically self-owning a bit on the tv thing.
