Yes, it's 2020 and there's no place for that shit anymore
No, I like the way the site is, leave things alone
Sort of -- only get rid of the really bad stuff, leave everything else
Don't know / don't care
have you considered helping druff out and voluntarily not using that word so he wouldn't have to consider banning it? he could then say he left the site free speech.
druff already did you a favor by not titling the thread "should i continue to let dwai use the n-word?"
you're literally the last one here to do it
dwai nailed it here.
If I thought this was only about the n-word I wouldn’t mind but it’s really not about that. Look back at the thread and read the posts and these guys are talking about “trimming the fat”, “banning certain posters” and one guy even broaching the subject of banning topics that have gone mainstream. (That particular guy believes any opinion to the right of his amounts to a conspiracy theory).
They’re using the n-word argument to wield power because it gets their opponents back on their heels and in defensive mode as they plot their real agenda of full scale censorship. Never mind that Black people can use a word freely that would have maybe vanished from the lexicon if they abandoned the word themselves. But why do that when it’s so useful not to? Is this the systemic racism I keep hearing about?
dead on, they're using the guise of racism running rampant as a trojan horse to try to bully druff into banning me, before me it was mumbles (even though he's Uber ultra left loonybin), they just want the good ol boys here and don't welcome any new posters, maybe posters don't post because everyone is mean af to anyone that's new
Well it technically is still accurate because I’m pretty sure it was posters here who asked him to make that
It’s a different world now. Thomas was fairly conservative. PLO grew up listening to Drudge radio despite being gay. He was a conservative. Even now, he preferred the moderate over the progressive. Brandon isn’t some super liberal.
This wasn’t generated by people here.
No one here started a ban x thread.
Druff started a thread asking the community about a very narrow issue that causes him problems from people he runs into at WSOP or radio listeners who would never participate and be associated with the forum.
Most pointed out that slurs are a hot button, but if they have reluctance to join based on slurs, they’re obviously going to have a big problem with a dwai chasing people thread to thread being an asshole looking for attention.
They are going to have a problem with the small handful of miserable people who derail every discussion with trolling.
He made a point that he’s not going to ban extremist ideology, which is the bigger problem.
The costs of a lockdown outweighs the benefits is a reasonable political conversation. That’s ideology.
Bill Gates wants to chip me and Mike Dewine is a secret socialist globalist hiding as a fiscal conservative for 70 years is mental illness. That’s not ideology, but he isn’t going to stop it.
So you can get rid of a word or words, but if someone is reluctant to be associated with a word, they very likely are going to have a problem with being associated with the most vocal posters being assholes who chase posters around trolling and/or mentally ill.
I wouldn’t bother changing anything if I were him, unless people in his neighborhood are giving him grief because they googled him, or Ben’s parents friends. It’s not like some person at the WSOP is going to join because they banned a word and then find they love being trolled by losers. If they cared about a bad word in the first place, they aren’t going to like the place. That seems obvious.
lol @ everyone always bringing up his son, or friends, way to pull at the heart strings old man, we see thru your opiate fueled long posts guy, you want any opposing views SHUT DOWN.
following people around? it's a message board you old faggot, you follow up posts with a post of your own, get it, grandpa? if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen with your old ass.
