Regarding kwizach, it was a point I intended to post sooner or later. I have been none too fond of his involvement in responding to my posts and I wanted to make it publicly known that I do not appreciate it.

And regarding my disagreement with you on this matter, I have said all I intend to say and I hope you appreciate why I see hypocrisy here. If not, well that sucks but I said my piece.
History will sooner or later sweep the European Union away without mercy.

I see why you claim hypocrisy; but I have counter-claimed that you do so based on inaccurate premises.
i.e. your chain of thought is valid (in the formal, logical sense) but unsound. I can see why you chose the premise you did; but that does not change its soundness, only its understandibility.
It was also needlessly aggressive of you.
do you see why I claim as I do?

My god. I'm sure this thread doesn't exist so you can all act like petulant crybabies. Step away from the keyboard, ffs.

in the interest of starting a shitstorm, while i value the alternate perspective he brings, is it really okay for xdaunt to be calling people dense, crybabies and shitposters all the time and have semi immunity by way of not being able to report him?

Feel free to add some context.

EDIT: Just to be crystal clear for the umpteenth time, people are going to get out of me what they put in. When someone challenges me and that person persists in relentless and hostile stupidity even after I try to nicely correct that person, I'm eventually going to say something that's not nice.

ticklish -> morally it's not ok. but practically, and on tl, it is ok. the point was already raised earlier in this thread; and the mods chose to take no action publicly on that issue to dissuade such behavior. nor did they really take any stance at all on it.

@LegalLord: You are posting in a public forum, making comments that are discussed by others. They sometimes influence the discussions being had on the topics you comment on. The issues touched upon in the US Politics megathread tend to be of interest to me, and if I feel like I have something to say, I will sometimes participate in the discussion, whether it's you or someone else who made statements I agreed or disagreed with. I've already said I'll be happy to discuss substance civilly with you in the future, but if you're not interested in replying to me it doesn't mean my comments on statements you make can't be of interest to others. In any case, I'll send you a PM within a few days to see if it's not possible to defuse some of the animosity (feel free to ignore it if you prefer, of course).

With regards to zlefin, I replied because it's the second time in a few days he gets criticized unfairly here, and I see him as one of the most measured and hyperbole-averse posters in the thread, which is honestly a breath of fresh air (and I say this as someone who's had strong disagreements with him in the past). I feel like disagreements like this would be best solved through PMs or by reporting posts, not by calling out people here.

Sure, why not? I would entertain a good-faith effort to resolve the matter and respond when I have the chance (though I may or may not be busy over the next few days).

With regards to xDaunt, part of the problem is just that he has a tendency to be outspoken and very short in his responses. But IME he is right that you get out of him what you put in. He tends to respond well to good-faith questioning and clarification, and aggressively to context-assumption and accusatory language. And there's no real immunity from not having a report button - it just means you have to PM or post here to report a problematic post. I've seen him warned at least once or twice and that's definitely not "immune to moderation."

You can go only so long on points too vague and *ahem* pointless to be useful. Then there's the breed that will end in semantics where you relitigate the terminology until one side quits and the other wins 'technically correct by opponent leaving the field.'

I hate leaving the upper half of posters on the scale of "argues in good faith" without a response.

I reported a post in the full expectation that it would not get mod actioned, and was prepared to come here and write exactly why that was bullshit. In actual fact, it got warned, which seems like the appropriate action. I figure positive feedback to the mods is important too. Imho, excellent work!

In general, since the firmer actions around election time, moderation has been top notch.

I reported this post under thread specific violation.

From page 5983 onward, posts containing only Tweets or articles will be handled a bit more strictly.


Wondering if this is the kind of thing I should continue reporting for. Post with only a link to the article and zero content besides a flippant setence.

yes

Posting the article alone is a better post than that.

yep. Just to add on to this, if you post an article, quote from it as well. It doesn't have to be a large quote, just a decent sized one so that the reader can decide if they want to read the rest.

You probably didn't hear it in your echo chamber but one of the first things Trump walked back on after winning was jailing Hillary. It was toothless publicity stunt for yokels like you.

Report it next time please. We aren't always on TL and need to catch on reading the thread to action etc...

You come back from your ban to continue posting out-dated information and strait up garbage. I see no reason to go play nice with you.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death
