This is actually quite accurate. Btw, I am too scared to reply to danglars and xdaunt alternate reality in case I get banned.
Also, now we know why legalord been pushing his Clinton is unelectable rhetoric so hard at every opportunity. It turns out, the Russians really were colluding with the Trump campaign. And that changes everything.

Well, it is puzzling why xDaunt, Danglars, GreenHorizons and LegalLord are still allowed to post here. Any debate with them in the end comes down in how honest they actually are about their position. Their arguments are so bad, one cannot debate with them without questioning their integrity. The way they debate and compose themselves absolutely makes a personal attack a necessity. Because, let's face it, any debate with them in the end comes down to one thing; are they immoral or are they lying?
And at this point, even staunch conservatives like Plansix get frustrated and start to call them out.
That said, it is telling that not so long ago, xDaunt was actually TL staff.
I must say that I find it quite a mystery why a community that formed around an esports played in Korea is so staunchly repressive and right wing in their political consensus. Or maybe it has to do with the way TL staff runs their website? Does that appeal to repressive people that love supporting authority? One has to wonder.

Coulda fooled me. Y'all were desperate to get one in but lacked sufficient cleverness.

I was mostly just disappointed your laziness in argument got you banned. There's a lot to be said about expertise.
|
That definitely wasn't what my point was about.
Oh well, what's done is done. Was a shitty discussion from the get-go that wasn't worth starting.

Agenor was just banned by tofucake.
That account was created on 2017-07-13 07:35:02 and had 1 posts.
Reason: Previously banned user.
I'm bad at these. Is this one of the more vocal members of the thread that got banned a while back, or more recent?

Based upon the claim that we're a repressive right wing website I'm assuming it's that guy I banned last week.

This may be the dumbest post that I've ever seen on TL. Definitely a hall of shame candidate.

It would get nominated, but I think it wouldn't quite make it in. US politics leads to some many bad posts that the bar to shame-dom is higher.

I have to say, i am especially amazed by the idea that the fact that GH is not banned is prove that the site is rightwing repressive. It does not matter whether one agrees with him or not, it is obvious that GH constantly attacks the US democrats from the left (So, he is basically a standard social democrat anywhere else  ). So if he is a rightwing repressive, that means that basically anyone except the communist party is rightwing repressive.
|
I just found it amusing that he lumped Plansix and GH among the conservatives. Drugs are bad, mmmkay?
|
I don't think he actually called GH (or LL) a conservative (though maybe it is what he thinks), he only said that debating with them was unproductive.

To be fair, the first paragraph is pretty spot on as to why those individuals are grating to talk to, no matter their varying political affliation, even if the end conclusion appears to be widely off the mark.

sounds more like a personal problem in how you react to opinions different than your own, agreeing with someone charging that someone else lacks integrity because 'their arguments so bad' and it makes insulting them a 'necessity' sounds like a dodge and special pleading rather than a reasoned critique
|
Actually I agree with Greenhorizons on a few things and legalord on an even fewer number of topics. I haven't had cause to agree with xdaunt or danglars on anything yet, but I only see those two in the US politics thread.
