Its being hard on the mods to expect consistent application of the rules? To simply ask questions about a specific banning in the bannings thread? I c...
How so? What is it about low quality posts that makes a warning ineffective? You are calling that “good evidence”? I can give you an even better one t...
Lol, I know he most likely wouldnt have changed but I do think rules should be applied to everyone, especially when the rules are whats being enforced...
Arent you essentially reinforcing Wayfarers point there? To a believer, you have your priorities out of order in not putting god or the afterlife befo...
Its no one else's fault but there own if they bring dogma instead of discourse. Its picking on them the way its picking on a speeding driver to give h...
I think thats correct, that racism is often misapplied to interactions between races. The term racism has been pretty well diluted and I think many th...
Still, my mistake. It is a bit depressing to me someone like Pinprick has to even question whether he himself is racist even when he knows in his own ...
Oh, ok. It was the “or is it mostly cuz theyre black?” and invitation to self reflect that made me think you had an idea in mind already about his bas...
He already said it was not the skin colour but the clothes. You are assuming its based on skin colour, with no real basis except being triggered by th...
He means there is an additional, separate percent chance not two percent chances that need to be added together. They only get combined together later...
Well I had in mind less the apathy (but really, I think thats an serious issue in all of this too) and more in mind cops like the asian one in the Flo...
Im curious if you would agree with this amendment to your last sentence: If we take systemic racism out of the equation, all the racism we point to mu...
Then we call that “residual effects of those policies”, not “systemic racism”. If you are suffering from a policy, we change it. If you are suffering ...
Ok, just for fun. Hard work comes with rewards, you left that out of your equation. That omission skews the argument. Why is life inherently meaningle...
:100: So accurate, except Ive come to realise Frank is mentally ill, dementia, delusions of grandeur or Bi-polar (though its uncommon for episodes to ...
In what way are those standards not being applied to difficult issues? People get banned and warned for the same behaviour regardless of the topic dif...
I think the root of it is identity politics. Thats the conversation that needs to happen before discussing race. Without that lense the issues get muc...
Well everybody knows what Im talking about when I say “black” or “asian” or “white” races, so its obviously a useful categorisation. Useful categorisa...
I dont think it is. Its mostly on the loud mouthed fringes, most of it is either harmless or results in positive change. Its certainly a problem in sp...
Maybe? Seems pretty clearly unfair. Tyrannical Ill grant is a stretch but there are uses of the word that dont mean murderous presidents so it doesnt ...
It doesnt matter to you that the person punished didnt do what they were punished for? I understand you are saying its bad for him to not disavow the ...
Ya, It seems to be something about how they are received. That Terrapin guy always turned when people either didnt accept his framing or they didnt un...
Thats a good point, but surely we can find a more reasonable cut off than the examples NOS used but that do include the example you used. What gets co...
What do you think the reason is for that kamikaze “hurrah” we see too often on this forum? There have been a few now who clearly decide they are going...
Well said, and history shows us pretty clearly that its true. ideologies that later turn out to be very weak almost always have censorship as a primar...
I think he is talking about the lense of identity politics, where race is always a huge factor in any interaction with different races involved. (Espe...
Alright, so why do you two bother? I'm curious what you hope to get out of engaging with the levels of dishonesty and delusions you’ve been confronted...
Not really sure what response youre looking for here...you found a criticism. It was controversial, as expected. No one thought the Grievance studies ...
The Grievance Studies Affair showed us just how much stock we should put into academic studies in the social sciences. These are the same academics th...
Yes, I understand that. Ive been saying that since he got in, you dont have to sell me on any of that. I think I misunderstood what you meant when you...
I agree, as I said I think you are making a good point here. I think I can be more clear... What Im wondering about Is if Trump is being ignored by hi...
Lol, well I was referring to you and someone else so individual pronouns aren’t relevant. Anyway, I didnt mean to speak for you or condescend to you b...
Ok, last word. You shouldnt be dishonest, it ruins discourse and even subtle dishonesty like yours habituates deception until it isnt even noticed as ...
You aren’t listening. You even quoted me on it. This isnt about flaming, personal attack or defending anyone. You were being dishonest, and Im holding...
I think you are making a good point here, but how do you ignore Trump? His effect on discourse and divisiveness is very real, and has very real effect...
Right. You were playing “gotchya!”, I get that. What I was commenting on is your post afterwards where you said: To NOS asking you: So you indicated p...
Really? It seemed pretty clear you were trying to point out a contradiction. So quoting those two separate posts was your way of...asking him if he mo...
I think you are full of shit, and are making up or at least heavily exaggerating your experiences. Your compassion is misplaced here folks, allow me t...
