Shoutout to JMT
« on: January 07, 2019, 02:49:44 pm »
I was going to put this in a PM but then decided I'd put it here and see what others thought. I every now and then drop into that "other" site and was just there and once again it made me appreciative of having this site to come back to. We seem lucky enough not to have to deal with incessant trolls like B_C, or alt. right conservatives like westcanman, or nitwit racists's like taxme.We have our disagreements, we have thread drifts, sometimes we even type curse words into replies, (I know I've been guilty of all the above) but we also don't have Mein Furher Charles Anthony ready to throw you into the cooler for a couple of weeks because you spoke out against his weirdo right wing biases.
As a result I would say this place, and the people in it, do a pretty good job of keeping the train pretty close to being on the tracks, and not because they fear they will get their fingers slapped. Perhaps that's why this place is so busy.

Kudos JMT

Thanks to JMT. But we need a few more posters, especially rational right-of-centre people.

This place has been pretty quiet since I pissed Argus off, and I notice that cyber hasn't been here for quite a while either.  It isn't my intention to scare anyone away, so I'm hoping some of these people come back.  Differences of opinion are great, and no one is going to be suspended or banned for them.

How did you come to **** off argus? Maybe it's because we all saw through who sj was so quickly. He seems to be happy over yonder where xenophobia is much more welcomed, and there are folks even further to the right (Trump lovers like B-C for example) he can attempt to chastise.

He believed I was picking favourites (I wasn't).

I have great hope that he comes back.  I don't moderate on my own here.  I wait for reports from other members, and then I decide whether or not to do anything with the report - more than half of the time (I'm guessing here) I do nothing, and delete the report.  I don't want this place to be stifling. 

My editorial comment (my participation in the forum) is completely separate and has no bearing on whether I choose to alter or delete a post (or at least, I do my best to ensure that's the case).

The left-right dichotomy is too simplistic. We have two tribes: the progressives and the trumpettes who enforce in-group conformity and expel members who do not agree with every aspect of the tribal belief systems. Then you have everyone else who may share views with one group or the other or both but do not believe in blind tribal loyalty and form their own opinion on each issue. Most people here are in the latter group.

SJ contacted me privately after we clashed over the Eliza Dushku thing. He was quite upset that I'd told him to "do a backflip into an empty pool". We patched things up, but he'd told me that he'd grown tired of the tone here-- constant personal attacks and hostility directed at him-- and decided he just wasn't having fun participating here anymore.
