Just the last page has enough from JimmiC to justify a ban.
That's not a plea to ban him though, just pointing it out in hopes it could be acknowledged by fair minded folks.

Always good to hear from an unbiased fair minded person like yourself. I do not disagree, purposefully triggering and sarcasm are horrible for discussion and take away from some of the great ones we have had. But if rule is that it is allowed for BJ it should be allowed for all. I'm glad we have found another thing to agree on! | ||

BJ’s posts frequently strawmen that he saw somewhere on the internet and reposted here out of context to “own the libs” with no regard for the factual accuracy of what he is repeating or the relevance to any discussion at hand. And while you may not be able to see it Falling I don’t believe that you are any more impartial on the matter than I would be. For example this one On May 25 2023 21:27 BlackJack wrote: Don’t worry, I’ve been told this Twitter site won’t exist soon anyway due to Musk laying off 2/3 of the staff. The only reason it’s still online is for the same reason a Jet with no fuel can stay in the air for a little while. It should be offline any day now. I don't know the context there, but I see nothing wrong with that post. I also don't know how taking potshots at Twitter is remotely related to pwning libs. He wasn’t taking potshots at Twitter, he was defending Twitter against an imaginary straw man where we all think Twitter is about to go offline. It’s standard culture war stuff. The right wing thought process here goes 1. Musk is alt right these days 2. Therefore all libs are automatically triggered by his existence 3. Therefore triggered libs (which is all of them) insisted Twitter would fail within weeks of his takeover because they hate him 4. But it isn’t offline yet 5. Therefore libs are dumb Obviously you and I know that no part of that makes any sense at all but that doesn’t prevent it from being the right wing thought process. Twitter is still online therefore libs are dumb. The context was Desantis failing a presidential campaign launch hosted on Twitter. So it was essentially irrelevant except for the word Twitter but BJ saw the word Twitter and felt the need to remind us that because Twitter wasn’t yet offline anyone left of centre had somehow been proven wrong. I live in a very red area. You don't seem to understand them very well, if at all. I suggest you not try, they are simple enough but not in a way that is "easily understood", it is a wholly different type of simplicity. The left wing narrative surrounding them seems remarkably petty though, almost as petty as Rush Limbaugh. Possibly more so. My source is that most people here don't care about Musk and consider him a liberal because "electric car guy". You seem to forget the vast majority of people on the right are old. I point to the Obama election and coverage of that to back up my claim that most young people are not conservative or alt right. I also point to racist grandpa's. These memes exist because there is a reality behind them. Religious people (this I can comment from on the inside) generally dislike Musk because he glorifies satanic behavior, and thereby dismiss him on those grounds. None of these groups use, or in any way care about, Twitter X. Basically I don't know where you are getting the idea that he is in any way right. Pun intended in part. But I know rabid right wingers (slur slingers at the southern border, anti government goons, trumpers, religious right, you name it) and only one had claimed Musk in bemused mirth. And he was bemused by Musk buying Twitter, nothing more. I don't know, maybe it is just my experience, and it may be way more localized than I think. | ||
