Well done Plexa. Who's next on your radar? Anyone significant actually left? Is DEB permed yet? Ah, I see they are working their way towards that, per usual. Guess that means there is practically no one left.
Eh, fuck this forum. The discussions aren't even remotely interesting anymore, completely one sided. They hardly qualify as discussions at all. You'll definitely be taken seriously with that attitude and those sharp arguments! My arguments are irrelevant. Anyone can see it for what it is by now. If you don't see the blatant bias you are delusional or not spending enough time in general.

Right wings have allways been part of the discussion on TL, given that they often are a minority as their views are frowned upon by MANY europeans (including me) so why in the world are you taken it to heart?
It's no personal attack to you, anyone who isn't ignorant knows that ones political view has little to do with their personality.
And as far as I know, in general (cus I know jackshit about the shutdown thingie) blatant bias is there for a reason, usually when something really silly or extreme happens.

And people like you are precisely why. I guess even having this discussion is useless since you're just going to be permed any second. Should hurt you though since you clearly hate TL.

Oh no, you're right.... I saw someone post "teabagger" on page 3. I thought for sure that TL was above this level of mudslinging; I only expected that silliness on HuffPost. >_<' If I called farva a "libtard," I wouldn't be able to type this.
Haven't seen any other bans from that thread, to my knowledge. I'm surprised. I thought it would create a firestorm of mod actions among posters who can't keep their comments civil. O_o

"Submission?" O_o Nah, I simply declined the challenges.... Better ways to waste my time than argue in General, lol.

He's discussing people, not ideas. Greater minds discuss the ideas and worldviews of others; smaller minds are stuck with attacks on personality.

I find it hilarious when some people act like TL is the pinnacle of internet political or intellectual discourse and that they are a part of it, or that their opinion/reasoning/forum essays demand our attention.
It's not/you're not/they don't, and I can't even add enough lols to stress how many laughs I've gotten from those teenagers on this forum.
(of course there are a lot of posters who are intelligent and post really well, but those aren't funny so I don't read them as often. I come here for Starcraft not a headache.)

The thing you guys protesting can't seem to see is that DEB is like 1000 times smarter than sc2superfan, it's not even funny.

O_o I dont read political threads on TL, so if you see shit like that happening -- report it. If it isn't actioned, PM me. This has nothing to do with left/right wing, this is open and shut PBU.

In my mind I see Plexa searching for that one frikkin tie that must be somewhere in the depth of his wardrobe together with his other formal clothing to write this one comment.

I've been following the politics threads for a while and I believe you guys are crying over nothing.
There is no inquisition out there trying to stamp out conservatives for being conservative. It has everything to do with how those certain posters have posted. If you've actually been following the threads, you would have seen that regular non-right-wing posters such as me, sam, farv, paralleluniverse and others have been banned before.
While sc2superfan's posts didn't warrant a permaban, his history as a PBU certainly did, and that's what he was banned for. It may have been people reporting him that lead to the ban, but the reason he was banned for is completely legit.
I think the issue is that there are just more liberal posters, and as such, they probably report the right wingers for insidious posts more often. If you see liberals shit-posting, just report it.

Also, I'm still here, and I subscribe to mostly conservative socialist policies, fwiw. I don't screw around trading blows on the general forum though .

I have to admit that everytime i see an aggressive conservative poster get banned i feel great. And i feel no shame about it when it comes to superfan
|
We have quite a few really long term posters that are of the conservative bent, both socially and especially economically. Insinuating that there's a crusade against conservatives on TL.net by the administration could only really be said by forum newbies, honestly. It's not as if a lot of really antagonistic leftists haven't been banned on TL.net through its history (I can think of quite a few).
