Coming to terms with late onset Anarchism
Nah, I don't have a little group of posters that i wind up to get angry about this forum.
Is America heading towards dictatorship?

Coming out with nonsense which when questioned has no evidence to support it is treating everyone here like shit. And believe you me new posters here get a far easier ride than they did a few years back.

EXPLODED TIM! (Help me!!!)
Me, and I don't discriminate between silly old cunts and new cunts on the block.

Neither do I, so keep your false accusations to yourself.
When I see condescending pricks, I call them out. You were on the vanguard of those from the minute I started posting, so don't try and come after me again.

Aww... for fuck's sake, can we not do the whole "your posts are shit" / "no, your posts are shit" / "fuck off" / "yer mum" routine again?

"The time is always right to do what is right"
That sounds good, but does that mean that those under attack are supposed to just take it?

And let's not do the "he/she started it" routine also. Thanks all

Your posts are shit and so is your mum.

That makes more sense than a lot of posts here

I think a lot depends whether the Project 2025 guys get whoever they want in after him, namely a lovely, clean cut Christian Nationalist father of 6 (by one woman, mind). If they do that, watch out for 'American' being redefined as 'white and Christian'

Being told to “change the fucking record and get used to it” is about the classiest response you’ve managed so far, in that it contained no albeist memes; so it seems you’ve taken on some feedback already.
I think you probably meant “change the record OR get used to it” though, so still room for improvement.
If you keep up the good work, perhaps in a few years I may deem some of your posts worthy of a like.

New(er) posters might not be aware (and why would they be?) of the Boards' history and why this leaves remains of a demand for rigour in politics discussion. There was a time when these discussions could feature real experts in niche fields, wielding significant knowledge with specialist lenses.
This is far less the case now (though the levels of expertise you might stumble across from time to time can still surpass anything found elsewhere) but longer-term posters may continue to have little patience for superficial, banal or ignorant assertions.
I agree that rigour and politeness are not mutually exclusive, but I also understand the frustration with how the dumbed down nature of internet discourse has infected even here.
So, a plea from me (which you are all free to do what will with), match the tone of your posts with the level of your expertise. Tentative opinions should not have the same air of certainty as knowledge informed analysis (although the best of that accepts a loss of certainty too).
I know I'm an old man shaking my fist at the sky, but I'm going to shake that fist anyway.

Yes.
The Internet does not entertain all opinions and viewpoints and this Forum is absolutely rigid, inflexible and unyielding in maintaining standards.
Of course, longstanding Members are allowed to post bollocks because they've earned the right, newcomers should know their place.

It was over-Moderated and you weren't allowed to truly voice your opinions, no matter how well nor badly-informed you were.
This section appears to be under-Moderated but you're still not allowed to truly voice your opinions, no matter how well nor badly-informed you are. And both sites share a common theme: people who regard themselves and their opinions overly highly, so try to exert their control and ownership of presentation.
The whole keyboard warrior stance is all rather sad and pathetic, really.
It does.
Maintaining standards is a good thing, no?
No, if anyone posts bollocks, they're picked up on it.
Of course you're allowed to truly voice your opinions, especially well-informed ones. But you can expect to be challenged on your opinions or asked for evidence for any assertions you make same as anyone else.
People value informed discussion. Don't you?

Oh, you're back.
So let me get this straight, you fucked off from a forum because you weren't allowed to voice your opinions and rock up here telling folk that their opinions about posting quality are not wanted.
I see.

It's an interesting request, but I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "level of expertise?"
I mean, I don't know about you, but I'm not an expert in anything. Nor would I want to be as it might mean I think I know it all and would no longer need to keep learning.
I also think a certain level of discourse is admirable but probably not sustainable. It's like trying to control language and meaning, when both are constantly evolving.
Having said this, I do recognise what you're saying, but it's worth bearing in mind that if posters aggressively reject and attack people for not meeting their standards, then all you're left with is a slowly decaying echo chamber which will eventually die.

I never left.
I just chose to step away from arseholes, but thanks for your warm response.
What do you think I should have before posting in here?
I don't think those things are similar at all.

A veritable cornucopia of post-nominals - in order to show your sheer brilliance.
It’s started. It’s UnAmerican to um, disagree with Trump.
It will end in tears.
