Politics version 7.0 discussion safe space - Page 22 - About the Forums

You have reinforced peoples attitudes yourself by swatting down fly, me, and others but flippantly tapping your boy Foldn's wrist when he makes inflammatory remarks.

When things get serious in the Milo thread you want to change the status of it to a serious topic thread, but when your boy Foldn turns a thread into something no one can take seriously you don't want to change it to an offensive posting thread.

You're not consistent, Chez. So, yes, it is a level of skepticism that puts off people like Trolly, Noodle and others. No matter how they may express it.

FoldN bragged about date raping a girl saying "bitches be crazy" about his victim. When he got called out on it chez lashed out at critics and mocked FoldNs victim as being mentally ill. Shouldn't be a surprise, twoplustwo owenrship likes that kind of behavior from their mods.

Let's say you succeed. That forum is closed. What is next? You go after the pog politics thread? I'm seriously curious.

I would have thought, based on your posting style, that the original unchained would have been a place you fought for as you could have taken head on all the people you don't like.

I'm not sure this even qualifies as 1stLVL thinking, Mat.

I kinda assumed "caulking gun" was code for dominionism and christian identitism.

maybe not, because i have no idea what you're talking about. fly answered the question and his answer was perfectly sensible.

I want to but I'm almost positive whosnext has enabled Hitler at some point between 1920 and 1945.

I was grunching, I meant that's what his answer was going to be.

Few people want unchained/pv8.8/whatev shut down. All this discussion is metagame.

The last time he tried to welch on a bet I think I gave him 24 hours to think about it.

Well, this highlights the most interesting aspect of Unchained/pv7 imo. I'm not even sure we can technically call this welching if/when he doesn't pay. It's clear, and you've pointed this out in that thread as well, that he might not even realize he's defending/condoning pedophilia based on his written word, so in his mind he's not welching because he didn't lose.

Which is why it's so absurd he made a bet based on his written word and not his inner heart.

there are virtually no site wide rules. however, most decisions made in an individual forum by the moderators of that forum will not be overturned.

The forum has been and is, basically, "What wil et deplorable al think... You won't believe the answers!"

And this is an absolutely fantastic forum structure. It's not a politics forum, not even close. It's a behavioral psychology forum, and it's much more relevant postMAGA.

Which is consigned to one of the threads were we contain but continue some of the traditional fun and games of unchained.

Yeah, I wasn't going to mention that you felt the last post should go in the poo-poo thread.

There's no way you can't see it's even more topical now that you have a 'new' forum. You have a bunch of Goodalls observing a bunch of chimps and suddenly an overlord swoops in and tells them to discuss angels on the head of pin.

I think it's marvelous, just bizarre you won't address the topic. Maybe you not addressing it takes the Goodalling to the next level, but I'm not certain yet.

As long as you keep your interest in behavioral psychology regarding 2+2ers to the low content threads then that's fine with me 5ive.

Not that it's not interesting, and we can't understand politics without it. It could make a good Content thread if you want to start one although it has to confine itself to the world outside of 2+2.

That's a good try but you know that we both know that you know what I mean.

It only becomes a psychology forum when we find out the chimps don't actually know much about politics.

What I'm 'trying' to tell you is that your view of 2+2ers as 'chimps' to be poked and prodded for experiment or amusement is not welcome in the Content threads. They are there for you and others to engage in political arguments - your cooperation would be appreciated.

Have a ball with your opinions on the posters in the low content threads - that's what they are there for.

Re wil, it's not entirely clear to me if wil was making a genuine bet or just throwing another tantrum. Sort of feel like it's not entirely fair to hold him to the same standards that we hold functional grown-ups to.

Fair enough, but Mat in particular seemed interested and also seemed to have this impression that people wanted the monkey house closed for business.

The problem is you're not from these United States of America. Thus, I have a hard time taking your lack of understanding as sincere confusion. Blame trump, even though this might be my personal myopia.
