Such a shame, there are quite a few on this site who have the thinnest of skin!

I thought you were quitting this stuff to focus on only lacrosse threads?
RRR did not deserve the punishment he got, I stand by what I said. I'm one of the few on this site NOT afraid to tell it like it is. Don't care who is offended by it. I didn't say I wasn't going to post AT all. Believe me, that circlejerk that is the whole politics thread is a joke. It's the (same) 10 guys agreeing with themselves, in a million different ways and thinking that they are actually changing the "opposition's" minds with their narrow minded political ideologies. That thread is not wholly representative of reality in any way, shape of form.

This is (yet again) a phenomenally on-point post by Joe Mauer, who remains one of only a handful of thoughtful posters on the politics thread you actually should pay attention to, though of course he doesn’t post there any longer, which is a loss for the entire community.
Think that over: one of the very few guys who actually has anything worth listening to, doesn’t post in the politics thread because the atmosphere is so toxic to anyone who thinks for themself (another way to characterize that is, he’s not a lockstep leftist…and honestly, I have absolutely no idea what party if any he belongs to…his crime is simply being independent and thoughtful).
Orwellian to say the least.
Joe chased himself from politics so the ten ‘usual suspects’ wouldn’t antagonize him to say something he regretted. Those ‘ten’ can’t emotionally hack hearing ideas that don’t perfectly comport with their rigid leftist ideology…this same movie plays out almost every day in that thread.
I have this futile wish that those ‘ten posters’, several of whom have already happily chimed in here regarding RRR’s suspension (happy he’s no longer there to challenge their ideology), might pause and reflect and even change their ways…but the gods honest truth is they really have no incentive to….these folks are never suspended on Fanlax for even the most egregious conduct.
I don’t know which one of them (they all sound the exact same to me, absolutely zero independent thought or creativity, or any ability to think outside any box other than what Heather Cox Richardson or any of the other leftist loons who write their incoherent and overly emotional leftist screeds daily in the NYT, The Atlantic, or other such dross, so I have trouble recalling who the particular poster was) wrote (and apologies for the vulgarity, but in order to make my point, I have to repost his words) “suck my cock”.
Seriously. Wrote that. No shame. Didn’t even delete it after being called out on it. Not one of the ‘ten suspects’ said a word to him. For all I can tell, they secretly cheered him on.
Now I have read RRR, who can be witheringly accurate with a deserved takedown, and I promise: RRR has never nor would never stoop to that debased level of language.
Yet the poster who wrote it simply skates off to the other end, never touched by the Admin here. It’s mind boggling. Whoever that guy was reduces the entire Politics thread to the absolute lowest sewer, but because he’s of the ‘correct ideology’, and because the few independent thought makers there don’t narc to the Admin (unlike say the other side), this poster keeps going, every day, never a worry that he will be suspended.
I wonder what he’d need to write in order to get suspended? Perhaps there is no vulgarity limit for a poster who embraces the lefts ideology?
To drive home the point, just read who gets suspended on this site for the politics thread. It is ONLY those posters whose ideas and ideology don’t neatly comport with the prevailing leftist machine. Don’t believe me? Just review for yourself. And the most ironic thing is all of those folks who do get suspended actually write with very little (if any) personal insults, never with gutter language, and actually write words worth listening to.
Ever amazing.
So as the usual ‘ten suspects’ wink, nod, and even exalt over one of the rare intelligent posters demise from Fanlax (and who knows, this too might be my own last post and finish line, given the leftward hysteria mob of those ‘ten geniuses’ who sprint like lunatics to the Admin to demand silence for anyone with less leftist opinions), my only thought is: this is what the left wants for America. They don’t want their carefully cocooned safety orb of samespeak to ever be challenged. And they will use any tool at their disposal to avoid being confronted with the fallacy of their ideas.
Think that over the next time you vote in any election.
Gracias.
