Clearly many of these comments are directed squarely at me, so I'll respond.
You don't get to claim your enemies are X, then get butt hurt when they do it to you.You don't get to call your enemies "alt-right", then cry when you are called a bike lock liberal.
You don't get to call your enemy stupid, then report them for calling you an idiot in response.
etc, etc, etc, etc, etc,…......................
raphjd, what we DO get lately is virtually zero action, from a moderation viewpoint, to discourage the flaming and nonsensical rants that make many of us on the Politics & Debate board feel as if the loudest and angriest posters are running the asylum.
After reading your post, do you feel that your role is simply to make a list of slights from both sides, implying that all can carry on, because this is the new normal?
It wasn't that long ago that you wrote a very fine policy for conduct in the thread "Forum rules condensed":
https://forum.gaytorrent.ru/index.php?topic=20604.0 – as follows:
_"Derailing conversations, to complain about topics or individual posters, is not allowed.
If your post adds no value to the overall conversation, it will be treated like spam."_
The civility and quality of content on this board has clearly devolved since your December 2016 post. I appreciate the time involved in upholding this rule, and clean-up will be tough now – the result of letting the worst posts go unchallenged over these months.
Even so, you strike me as a man of your word. Can you stand behind your forum rule, and start taking concrete actions going forward, to enforce the rules prohibiting crude, taunting and off-topic debris?
