Maybe you should stop by the politics forum more often...

That legitimately made me laugh out loud.

I see. But generally it seems you agree with the substantive things he says.

Juan's heart is in the right place. But really needs to make shorter posts with more concise points. Also, not a fan of linking to youtube videos to make your point.

are the exiled posters just trolls? is it that simple? they don't care about the positions they take. they just come to disrupt?

fly annoys me a lot. and one reason he annoys me is that i think he's put me in a box i don't fit in. otoh, he doesn't post that much and his jabs at me, while annoying, also prod me into thinking about where i really stand on some things and who i really am.

i'm stumped as usual. and really honestly asking questions. not the fake news part. that was a joke.

Mat,

Fly is definitely an *******. There’s no other way to describe him that is accurate. He is also very intelligent and his posts are interesting and (make you think), again with the caveat that he’s a dick. The posters in this thread, while also fitting into the same latter two categories, do not have the added asset that they were good posters, they were terrible. All that being said, under the new rules which Wookie and I intend to enforce, Fly will need to tone it down or he will likely end up banned as well.

Regards,

—jman220

Edit: Also I can’t really speak directly to everyone since some were before my time, but Lobo Gordo was 100 percent a troll. He literally came to ATF to start a thread comparing your political subforum to a hate group. It’s not particularly close that he’s a troll. Even what he’s doing now is clearly concern trolling.

OK, good. You made it seem the weight loss was the result of something unfortunate.

Alt-right legend Jake Tapper pointing out the edited video has completely mislead everyone

BTW the "politics" forum is still completely outraged at the Maga teens targeted harassment and racism towards the indigenous man. I posted extended footage for context. Jake Tapper isn't standing behind the false narrative being pushed by an edited video

You're also highly biased

Bundy,

Just stopping into the Ms. OOT Threads the past few weeks I learned the lesson that many in OOT can’t stand you either, and several non-politics posters questioned why you weren’t “contained’ yet.

Oh and fly is mean and his racist detector is wrong sometimes. But he is also right a lot and a overall benefit to the forum. Shame if the new rules keep him out.

I don't know what upsets me more, having to wade through 120 posts of rational logic from the powers that be versus a handful of washed up trolls, or the fact that I missed it and now it's too late to meme the

That would depend on your definition of fake news. Obviously the video of a kid wearing a MAGA hat and standing in front of the Native American wasn't fake, but the initial story lacked important context.

Frankly I don't even consider this news in the first place. But in the heirarchy of blame, surely the Hebrew Israelites that were ranting about '******s', calling children 'crackers', and black people '******s' would be higher up than the children, right?

Also, why'd you feel the need to state the same thing three times? If you're genuine about the new rules you've created perhaps you should consider that. All you're missing is repeating it a few more times in a variety of colors and it'd be truly elevated discourse

I used to just assume these newbie accounts were previously banned posters and OTBC them with 0 or 1 warning

Do you need proof they are previously banned/exiled before doing this?
