I know TL don't moderate the truth, but surely at some point, it must be against good conversation to insist something repeatedly without evidence, simply writing "I already wrote that" repeatedly instead. Care to elaborate? I thought I was being rather obvious. If it isn't, please refer to previous posts as I have already written that before.
I have posted a ton of evidence on this points. I daresay that I have posted far more elaborations.
I'm not going to repeat it every 20 pages for the cheap seats. People showed no desire to interact on a factual basis.

must be the lack of subject verb agreement in his writing. i find poor grammar is easily misunderstood.
/passive aggressive sarcasm
but he’s referring to xDaunt, not that i agree or disagree with the criticism. he often refers to past arguments he has made without actually (re?)making the arguments. though personally i totally understand why. i’m not sure that it ties into lying per se.
i think the post you just quoted was an attempt at doing exactly the same thing, and having left you in confusion is basically the point. though xD has recently (i mean it has probably been several months) done everyone the favor of linking to his previous posts, which i find to be the best of all possible outcomes. so i guess i’m taking this opportunity to say hey thanks, it’s appreciated.

I understand why Daunt was temped, but I don't agree with it. While it was a bit emotional, he should have been warned to refrain from such wording in the future, regardless of past history. This is an intense discussion and things will be said. I'm not a fan of his politically, but I do want to hear what he has to say.
Guess I'll have to wait two days.

We’ll see if Biff earns himself a pairing ban for calling him the TL version of Sarah Sanders and questioning why he even comes here to discuss.
Unless that’s the sort of taunts that fly nowadays, I hardly know.

That post was pretty tame considering what's been going around all day. In fact, even by itself it was fine.
Pair it with the post he was responding to and it makes even less sense.

Unless that’s the sort of taunts that fly nowadays, I hardly know. Thank you for clearing up the whole passive aggressive talk of the last couple of pages with a extremely dead on post. The normal non passive aggressive way of saying what you said would be. "I think Biff should also be banned for his role in the exchange." Not sure why you feel the need to communicate so passive aggressively but please just stop. It is so childish and annoying if you have something to say, say it. Otherwise go away. I took the active step of reporting the post. Calm your tatas.

Pair it with the post he was responding to and it makes even less sense. Ban/warn both and you've got a pretty low standard for moderation action, but a consistent one. Skip doing anything to both, and it's basically what the day was. Do one but not another and take an editorial stance on the political scene.

"I think Biff should also be banned for his role in the exchange." that has a really good chance to be actioned, banned/warned, for back-seating, especially based on ones mod history. passive aggressiveness gets the benefit of ambiguity thus can be somewhat overlooked.
the directness you're all craving for is incompatible with today's moderation standards.

That's the problem, though.
If what you're saying deserves moderation when said directly its not being direct that's the issue.

Yeah xdaunts ban doesnt really make sense. At the very least its inconsistent moderation.

A simple glance at the state of the thread before and after people were unbanned makes it hard to disagree with the ban.

Oh Danglar is talking about me 🥰 I really would never post one liners telling Nettles to get fucking real or call xDaunt our Teamliquid Sarah Sanders like pet if the posts I was answering to were not such insane bullshit and such insults to our intelligence to start with.
Seriously though, this thread is shit again because people like Nettles or xDaunt come with absolutely no other intention than defending their side at any cost, no matter the facts.
It’s tiring, it’s sterile, it’s boring and it’s simply shit. And no one is interested in that crap.
This thread was MUCH better in the time of the megablog where those folks could « stick it to the liberals » between them and the few who were interested.
If your point is that the NYT says that Barr was spot on, or that clearly Mueller report demonstrates that Trump did absolutely nothing wrong should really go post on r/the_donald, to discuss with more like minded folks from within that post factual bubble of yours.
As for me I’d like to read from Plansix, Kwark, biology_major and other posters who happen to have some kind of intellectual integrity and don’t bend reality when it doesn’t go their way. I know it’s the new style of US politics, but thank you, we can do better here.

If it's so uninteresting why can't you (and all the other posters claiming xDaunt and Danglars come with nothing but bad intentions) just stop replying to their posts instead of complaining about the thread being full of xDaunt arguing with posters like you?

Biff shows clearly that he is he problem in the thread and not daunt. Everything he posted above is about antagonizing xdaunt until he gets banned. Everything he posted above is bathed in prejudged malice twords people he disagrees with shows his intent was to get daunt banned by baiting him.
I mean can anyone not see it as a clear flame bait manifesto?

like all things politics these days, a select few consistently see it as only either or, where perhaps the truth lies in both of them being wrong.

I am all for disagreeing. That’s even why we discuss. I don’t have problem with divergence of opinions. I have problem with ignoring facts altogether and treating this thread like a fucking courtroom where substance doesn’t matter one bit, and the purpose is to win. And yeah, that’s what xDaunt does, and yes, it turns this thread into liquid shit.

I mean can anyone not see it as a clear flame bait manifesto? Pretty much everything xDaunt was saying was directly refuted by Muellers report, which he was commenting on what out having read it by his own admission.
He got called out on that and went on a rant. While I think a temp ban was a bit heavy handed xDaunt should not have making the statements he did without having read the report himself.

FWIW, I don’t think you’re part of the problem Biff.
(However, I’m not sure there is a problem currently)
