The post he got banned for (assuming he didn't just get banned again), was pretty innocuous. He's said much worse. He's also weathered much worse accusations against his character. | ||

It's to air grievances and not to derail the poli-thread. you'll find a lot of arguing going on in here that is much more...personal, than in the poli-thread. Like the US congress, we have decorum rules in the mega thread. | ||

For posts a couple pages back... yeah. Like I said, I'm glad I missed it and didn't try to unpack all his nonsense. | ||

Any rube can tell people demand a confession of being in the tank for Trump and going to bat for Team White Supremacy. Why would the onus be on me to draw from your posting anything beyond the obvious push towards a fascist, 'white' America? Oh EvilTeletubby, regale us with the “worthwhile discussion” where someone defends himself from accusations of encouraging a fascist, white America. You have such an interesting way of twisting reality to fit your beliefs. You have descended into full-on blind worship of a path that follows your ideals. Your supposed strength is your lack of critical thinking, not your engagement in it. The management at TeamLiquid takes an editorial position on call outs (absolutely tolerating the above quoted ones), shamefully considering only responses to be toxic, and ought to make it clear in the moderation notes. Accuse away! I should think they want ten Nettles or twenty BerserkSwords accusing the dogs of the thread of being shills, worshippers, twisters of reality. Go on, publish an editorial, and show us some subjective integrity. | ||

I just think of it like: Person 1: Saying go back home has a long history of very bad racism and is toxic to the national conversation and will make this situation much worse Person 2: Yeah but they make the country worse Person 1: Oh god. Ok. Simple as that. When someone is so far gone they don't see the problem with this, just give up. Talk to someone else about something else. There are plenty of other posters to quote and discuss topics with. | ||

xDaunt was just temp banned for 30 days by EvilTeletubby. That account was created on 2010-03-05 03:09:59 and had 17732 posts. Reason: Holy shit your posting is toxic and about as counter-productive to worthwhile discussion as you can make it. I really don't care about your political beliefs, but I do care about your horrible attitude towards others. You're dismissive of any other point of view without actually having a discussion around why. The "I'm right, you're wrong" mentality is not what we care to see around here. You're actively discouraging critical thinking. Your recent posting and moderation history here is complete trash. This isn't a permanent because we do respect tenure here, but god damn. Chill out and step away from the PC if you're not going to add anything. The reason makes it sound like it was this post that got xdaunt banned. On July 19 2019 03:49 xDaunt wrote: Let me pose an alternative explanation to you: it seems like I'm unaccountable and blindly worshiping Trump only because you truly don't understand my posting. Ratchet up your game you might find things snapping into focus suddenly. You still may not agree with me, but you'll at least understand where I'm coming from. It's not easy, and you may not be cut out for it, but it can be done as is evidenced by a select few posters who have demonstrated such an understanding. Personally I would had just gone for that the President of USA made such an openly racist tweet then and xdaunt just wrote that he agrees with the general substance of what Trump was getting at. Or that xdaunt decided that "send her back" "is quite principled" and a democratically elected US representative is an imported anti-American. Dogwhistles are supposed to be subtle so there are plausible deniability. These are not even subtle. It's just full blown. | ||

And beyond that, I have zero patience for incorporating people into the American tent who hate the tent. The same goes for the other politicians who hate America, like AOC. These are people who need to be ridiculed, humiliated, and marginalized. User was temp banned for this post. | ||

Better late than never I suppose. The last sentence seems pretty unacceptable to say about the people in question even ignoring xDaunt's posting history though. I think TL mods were too scared of appearing biased. If someone is toxic, they need to go. Happy to see them respond. | ||
