The fact is some people want to talk about they stuff, and under our current rules they are as welcome as anyone else. It’s set up that way, so I hope that’s how it looks! Someone would have to demonstrate to me that talking about that stuff is actually wrong, that we shouldn’t be a place where people talk about that stuff (I don’t particularly care how it looks), or the like.
I don’t think that’s in question at all, or this thread would be closed frankly. Not seeing that in the OP! Maybe if people hadn’t referred to anyone specifically, even if obliquely, then those people wouldn’t have responded. I think it’s being way overblown anyway. I counted, out of 57 active threads in the last month in USP, one user started 19. Not really alarm bell territory in my book, looks like a person who likes to talk about politics.
I mostly see people responding to the ideas within. I removed some excessive stuff/silliness but I didn’t see much! All in the nature of feedback, either way! I appreciate all of it, outside of attacking anyone of course.
Sorry I meant the poster I was responding to not the OP. I was backing up the OP.
You’re probably right that there’s not objectively that much offensive material but it does tend to catch the eye. Which is why multiple people have commented on it. And yeah, we are what we are, we can’t hide the fact we have a good number of right leaning Americans who like to argue. Maybe I should just man up, buy a crate of Jack Daniels and some chewing tobacco and crank up the lynyrd skynyrd. God bless America y’all.
Sure man. I have a master’s degree, paint abstract, write poetry, read Shakespeare, philosophy and geopolitical books and world history for fun…but yuck yuck Imma spittooth redneck to ya’ll bc I suppose, I have my own political voice that doesn’t follow a neo-marxist post modernist ID politics vein?
You wanted to mute the IP threads, and I assume you did. Now what do you want? Seriously, get into the wanker thread. You’ve earned it.
I think this shows why Forumosa has actually remained relevant after the rise of FB, Twitter, etc., and has not gone the way of MySpace, Friendster, and TaiwanEasy.
