Btw @CBOE I was perhaps a little over the top above. I do attempt to reason with you and you had little to do with my leaving for awhile (not that you would care). Curious2 and a couple other assholes were more my reason, combined with the alt right wingers getting overly full of themselves and dominating the site more.
The alt right BS gets tiring. In my book T-lips has always been a tool, but ever since he became a paid troll for the alt right he's become so much worse than just tiresome.

I don't believe LBJ's original intent was to devastate the black community either (though I know he did not harbor much love for blacks), but it was his intent to use government entitlements for Democrat votes, and it was an extremely successful strategy. Look at the black inner city across America, complete and utter destruction socially and economically.
That might have been an effect, but I don't believe it was his intent, and it was obviously necessary. The bad thing is the connection politically to the left.

I'm getting pretty sick of users talking about other users and not about actual topics. No one coming here from outside could care less. It's less than zero content. It's anti-content.
Just going to start blowing every every comment that so much as mentions another user.
2018 Jan 8th, 8:52pm is the moment I start deleting any comment talking about another user. Right now.

Just as a quick aside as you’re here Patrick, when I highlight a piece of text to quote, that section appears in the quote box on my Android phone. When I do the same on my iPad, the whole comment appears in the quote box (rather than just the section I wanted).

Yes, there are great difficulties in selecting text on mobile devices.
You can see how I implemented it here: https://github.com/killelea/node.patrick.net/blob/master/node/patrick_net.js#L2972
It's the best I could do for now. One day I'll have employees who can figure this shit out for me. Probably not, but I haven't given up hope of that.

OK, that one is pretty funny. It's about another user, but hey.
Patrick is a genius for making that decision.

Thanks for all the hard work.
I know it’s been said before, but do you not think at this point it may be easiest just to let people moderate their own threads (as frequently suggested). It seems like a reasonable compromise. There’s moderation and if people aren’t happy with that moderation, then they’re free to start their own threads. It’s got to be better than the current situation. You can combine that with banning obvious trolls (three strikes and you’re out or some such). That’s got to be easier than deleting any post directed at another user (aren’t all posts?).

I did have people moderating their own threads for a while, but it also just inflamed the interpersonal conflict.

Anyone have a particular love of a topic and want to be a co-founder of a clone based on that topic? You'd be moderator-god, and own half of the rights to the domain name and the database (the source code would remain open source and available to the public for free). I do the tech, you do writing, moderation, and marketing.
The goal would be to build traffic and revenue (probably advertising) and then sell the thing ASAP, splitting the proceeds.
If you're interested, what topic would it be, and do you have a domain name to use?
