Too close to home? Lots of similar stuff, actually far worse, posted about Trump supporters over the past 17 months and not a single call from me to delete anything.

If the issue is Billy isn’t here to respond then please delete this thread and I will post it again with new title.

Posting vids and articles about Trump supporters is not the same as focusing on ONE poster.
Which is what
you did.

Take a look at how X handled it.
He just raised the issue in conversation. “Hey Trump supporters are not racist troglodytes…” And i agreed with him. Conversation. Not taunting.
You and Billy got into personal clashes. Neither of you would stop. It got personal.

Billy is taking a break from posting for a while btw.

Time stamp shows you posted this 11 minutes AFTER my last post which had already addressed your concerns. Oh and I’m not X. I don’t want to be X. Nothing against X. X just isn’t me.

Oh, i didnt see your other post.

But the issue for me is not whether BT is here or not. The issue is personal focused taunting. Just my opinion. I like a ‘nice board’. Some folks like more ‘ornery’ boards.
Everyone has their own preference.

You and i get along fine. You and BT brought a lot of ugliness to the board. Just seemed like an ugly dynamic to ME. I blame both of you 🙂

This is an experiment — most boards cannot handle lefties and righties posting together. Its a VERY tricky thing. I’ve seen many-a-board implode due to lefties and righties getting ugly with one another. We all have to WANT ‘good conversation’ and we all have to figure out what that ‘is’ exactly.

You know when grown men are literally claiming it is the end to the world if Trump is elected, as in the biosphere, how can anyone in good conscience claim they are participating in “good conversation”. I wouldn’t blame me. And Billy was far from the only poster to make such outrageously ridiculous claims here. Guess what? 4 years from now the biosphere will be fine. 8 years from now too.

I understand you feel that way, but I feel the same way about things you and X and NM write about. But no matter how i ‘feel’ i try to be disciplined and not get ‘personal’ and i try not to ‘taunt’.

I know its HARD not to get personal. Believe me. I know.

Politics and Religion are REALLY tricky. We have to TRY hard not to get personal or this board will go the route of another Pol Board most of us remember. It imploded with insults and taunting and ugliness.

Personal responsibility. Its a rightwing idea, right 🙂

Personal responsibility as in not making such outrageously ridiculous claims as Trump will be the end to the biosphere? Look in the mirror. Feeling at all responsible?

I agree that it is personal taunting which is not permitted.

I can’t delete a lead post without deleting the entire thread but the thread is closed.
