236. Death threats wouldn't be a bannable offense either...

Mon Sep 1, 2014, 09:01 AM

Sep 2014

EarlG said it's only spamming and sock-puppets that lead to a permanent ban. I'm not sure that such a hands off approach will work all that well, but it's their site and I'm not going to tell them how to run it. If I don't like it, I don't participate. Yahoo message boards were way less moderated even than that, and I gave up on them coz I was sick of the ugly shit I was seeing regularly. And I gave up on Discussionist coz I was seeing a lot of bigotry and racism and folk that had been nuked at DU that I really couldn't be bothered with. So, if all this had happened at DU, I'd see a reason for the OP being posted in GD. But this isn't Discussionist, it didn't happen here, and dragging it over and then talking about the problem being here is wrong, imo...

So if no progressive or DU member went there, it would just be another repuke site. I won't go still_one Sep 2014 #180

No, because repuke sites don't advertise Democrat ideals. JaydenD Sep 2014 #250
