Yes.  We are 2 days away from aggy thunder dome people.  We need to all pause so we can collectively sit back and watch that glorious madness.

This is a bit hyperbolic but we're getting closer to this being the official slogan pretty much, "Comply or be Erased"  

the libertarian in me says it's overcorrection but then most of the politicians/celebrities/shows that got shitcanned because of cancel culture were crap to begin with and I won't miss them.  The one I miss, but he really did some creepy shit, is Louis C.K.  He's just now getting back out there.  While I wasn't a regular listener or anything, but he is so talented and seemed so warm and kind, is the cancelling of Garrison Keillor for some seriously trivial bullshit of touching a woman's back in a fucking photograph.  If you bother a celebrity to get a photograph and they lean in to you, just shut up.  It's not  like he tried to lick your breasts or something.  

Anyway, this is a discussion of how to better frame the threads on this board.  So I'll leave it at that it's amazing to me 120mm Americans did not vote for either Trump nor Clinton and we have to vacillate between DT and CR threads on very important issues of the day.  There were few critics of the Democrats more vocal than me before 2017 in the old CR, and I'd even get called out for name dropping Republicans I knew and worked with.  The Democratic Party still has tremendous flaws to me.  But I can't question Trump's absolute shitshow handling of Covid19 and BLM because I get thrown in the with the "CR Cabal"  I think I've had 4 warnings or suspensions because I question how federal policy issued by the head of the executive branch of the federal government may have effected the interstate developments of Covid19.  It's fucking ridiculous but I'm fine with it, it ain't my website.  But the delicate snowflakes can't handle the fact that somebody who outranks them in the Texas GOP by a lot (not-so-humble-brag), looks at weird shit like facts to question Trump on DT threads.  Half the cities in the country are on fire, but we can't discuss that Trump's idea is to visit three large U.S. Cities...not to heal or talk reform...but to hold rallies.  That's bizarre to me that Trump is visiting Dallas, a city torn by protesting and rioting.  We can't talk about that visit on any DT threads.  Makes perfect sense.  But y'all's site, y'all's rules.  I have noticed some of the suspensions went from multi-week to just 24 hours which I think is a pragmatic step.  /rant

Uh, yes you can.  It’s called the Cloak Room, dipshit. 

[Guest Lobo]

Well your consistent on messaging.  I brought up bringing up facts on the DT threads.  You just confirmed that those don't belong there.  Got it.  

I mean, you do realize that forum is called "The Daily Texan" for a reason (a print newspaper of some regard).  It was to collect news.  And news is meant to be informative and fact-based.  CR was supposed to the "Op-Ed" section, if you will.

Well I was told earlier in this thread that if I didn't allow politics in DT that Trump would turn into Hitler and take over the country and I don't think anyone wants that.

That's why I said "a Bit hyperbolic" and then agreed that we are inching quickly towards that full-on mentality being pervasive across all industry, not just some.  I basically agreed but thanks.  .  I have to admit, I'm a bit out of the loop (pun intended)---what's the story on the hooped earrings?

He's a public figure for a public team. If his wife posts terrible shit that the team doesn't want to be associated with, that's their right. He's their employee to remove for whatever reason they see fit.

You move a post bitching about your wishy moderation to its own forum so you can whine and make sure people rush to defend you and cancel Bama Chick. 

Surly Karen indeed. 

[Brew 3049]

I’m genuinely curious at this point how many pages this thread can go with the dead horse beaters constantly rotating back in with their new examples of inconsistency. At this point you all sound like a bunch of whiny bitches just for the record. It’s plenty clear you don’t agree with the moderation of DT yet nothing you repeatedly say will impact that. Also, once Derka shows up with his diatribe, everyone else should realize it’s time to move on.

Even the OAN deal, I have zero clue what or who OAN is. It was pretty clear once I clicked the thread, but it was pretty damn easy to click off the thread and move on to the next one once I realized it was an idiot posting idiotic stuff. Just ignore what you don’t like or agree with sometimes instead of constantly trying to explain why they are wrong. They don’t care, you’re not changing their minds, just move on to the next thread and let the other side have their echo chamber.

I was joking, but plenty of people have lost their jobs because their spouses did stupid shit out in the public.    He happened to be in a sport with a large minority fan base, and his wife is out there mocking another minority and saying they should be killed.   Which of them thought that was going to go over well?

Pretty much every forum I've ever been on a rant like that would end in a permanent banning. I try to listen to the posters here to help make this a better place and I guess that's bad?

Some of you people are completely insufferable and seem to be on the lookout for outrage. 

To summarize how I feel about DT and the cloak room:

Discussion on topics in the DT should be news/current events related. Once it gets into partisan politics and bickering it will be moved or deleted.

below are examples of partisan politics/bickering which will result in bannings/moving of parts or entire threads.

• Why do y’all argue with that meth headed fascist?
• You are a dumbass
• Bro do you even orange man bad?
• List the virtues of Jesus Christ’s teachings that Donald Trump embodies....
• Yeah says the party of civil war cosplayers when they can’t get their hair cut 
• Yeah, says the party of actually burning shit down.
• Says the party that embraces white supremacists and turn a blind eye to their instigation 

Thanks.

You can now go back to bashing me and the moderation of this site.

[elfenix 34322]

I think it probably needs to be decided by topic. Some of them are too close and it's just too big a headache to keep politics out

there's plenty of posters who will happily blow dog whistles in borderline threads but loudly proclaim that they're not the ones who need to go to CR. 

moderating DT would be a lot easier if you'd just ban those posters into CR, BL. either that or accept that politics isn't going to stay out of borderline threads and move all borderline threads to CR.
