He used a Racial slur. I don't give a shit in what context you shouldn't get away from that.

Also I got blindly mad when someone insinuated that the stay at home mom was a slave. Is that somehow wildly out of context or what the fuck?

I read it not as an insinuation that housewives are slaves, rather that the role of the housewife and its attendant obfuscation relative to how much "work" goes into maintaining a household deserves lip service outside the scope of typical "wage earner" analyses.

I believe the argument being made there was that society has created a system of assumptions and expectations that place obligations for labour on women without acknowledging the value of the labour performed.

I think context matters.

Question for mods: shouldn't posts in that style be actionable? Pretty much a direct character attack on other posters without content to back it up but doesn't get actioned when reported. Link

In case it were to matter, I believe he was putting words into the mouths of people who dismiss identities with the wrong ideology to criticize those people, like with people shouting down "Uncle Toms."

Maybe I'm reaching but I'm trying to figure out what the standard is, one liners of Mike "turns fruits into vegetables" Pence are okay, would one liners of Mike "gas the kikes, race war now" Pence be okay, if so would it be because the target is on a certain side of the aisle, or because "kike" isn't as bad as "coon," or the context has to somehow outweigh the word, because you can't just call people "fruits" I would presume. What are the dimensions supposed to be... context, partisanship, offensiveness? Or just the last?

It's almost like all you understand is buzzwords and sound bites. I don't really know what to say.

Say something other than buzzwords?

That was good.

you don't get ot complain about shitposters, then complain when people try to cut down on the shitposting. I think we all agree that if I'd stop going at it with danglars and xdaunt, (the known long term shitposters who should be banned); then the thread woule be better for it. and encouraging others iwth whom they fight to also stop talking to them sounds like a net improvement to me. objecting to people trying to make the thread better by not responding to the shitposters is odd.
and don't complain about bad posters if you're not willing to favor action against all of them like I do.
and you shoudln't conclude they won't action me until given at least a day; they're quite slow to action people, because they don't have anyone who follows the thread monitor it to nip things in the bud, they only get to issues far afterwards.

on the more general topic: my there's a bunch of talk now; maybe there'll be some action. hopefully it's well thought out action; though it sounds like the mods are super reluctant to actuall ymoderate the thread to ensure a quality discussion.

The Us politics thread was designated as the forums designated shit pile so playing in it would spread infections.

Well the idea of a containment thread was fine in concept, but I fear the infection is slowly spreading to other threads (i.e. UK politics, EU politics).

The note at the top of the US politics as well as the OP is just precious reading though. It's like the two things are for a completely different thread and it's just some glitch that has made them "attached" to the US politics thread.

Original Message From zlefin:
own up to what you did; rather than shitposting like the troll you are. accusing others of trolling, when you are the one trolling, a classic rich troll tactic.
shame you won't get the ban you deserve for it.


i've incurred the wrath of the shrew.

lol go police someone else you petty little shit. i'm not a fan of being harassed in PMs, either air your bullshit or leave me alone.

brian the troll complains; if you hadn't shitposted in the first place, there woudln't be an issue; own up to your shitposting rather than lying about it and deflecting onto others.
you started this with your own bad behavior; you started the insults, not me. you started the poor posting.

for reference, issue in question starts here:

your yes/no question did not deserve an additional post so that i could give you a one word answer. sorry if you thought otherwise, you'd be wrong, again. i didn't insult you. your immediate response was to call me a troll and a shitposter. that's on you. don't PM me in the future with your useless retorts.

thanks.

My own advice for some of you guys is to stop backseat moderating. It's gotten a bit ridiculous to see everyone pointing fingers at everyone else. There might be valid complaints in there but they get shrouded by the constant finger pointing. If you engage in a discussion with someone and you find that they aren't as responsive as you'd like, quit the conversation. Don't start posting low content shit that will be actioned. I could go on but I'll wait and see how things progress.

bigfan, you need to be more careful with your moderation; in particular: brian's post right above the one of mine you warned is equally bad as mine, and was not actioned, despite that he was the clear instigator here.
did you get my messages bigfan? I was trying to appeal and dispute the matter with you, but you didn't respond to any of my inquiries, so I couldn't tell whether you got them or not. maybe I typed in your name wrong? I suppose that'd have to be it, cuz you would've responded.

PS backseat moderating woudln't be necessary if the moderation did a better job in the first place. if things seem like frontier justice, it's because there's a lack of law in the area to otherwise deal with problems.

The unrealistic sound of these propositions is indicative, not of their utopian character, but of the strength of the forces which prevent their realization.

as it always does, context matters. my post wasn't as bad as yours at all, especially considering i had to respond to your sudden and unwarranted personal attacks.

and idk how you can sit here and try to sell people on me being the instigator. how detached are you?

your question did not deserve an extra reply for a one word answer. your reaction to this was to flame me, PM me additional flame, call me a shitposter, and attempt to educate me on the proper way you are to be responded to. get a grip. that you do all this and somehow wonder how it's me that isn't banned boggles the mind.
