You're projecting a lot of venom on people. The main reason I like Trump, for example, is he's not started a new war. I'm not hard to please, but the last time we had a president that didn't start a new war in his first term was Jimmy Carter. I was 9 when he left office. I get tired of people calling me a "fanatic" or something similar just because I'm overjoyed about not starting up another war to steal shit in my name, with my tax money. Tired of this murderous government keeping us in endless wars.
I vote to moderate VERY CAREFULLY.
Have a line that people can't cross (I suggest to block anyone who consistently denigrates the Constitution and/or the Bill of Rights), give X number of warnings and then block their IP address.
BTW - we lost 4th amendment rights with the Patriot Act. That's gone.
I'd just like to be able to ignore entire topics of discussion.
Patrick saysThat's divisive. It really is. And personal too.Oh?
That comment was to the commenter above that starts right in with “TDS” since the accuser is actually the afflicted.
You wouldn’t overlook that would you?
Patrick saysWineHorror1 saysWhat's with all the "false" add-ons at the end of everyone's comment?
Damn, that's was a bug I just introduced. Should be gone now. Thanks for telling me.
Patrick - Are you developing on Apache? I can setup a virtual machine for you to develop on, and mirror your site. I have a GB internet speed.
But I would have access to your code - and you probably don't want that.
If it is Apache, I can setup a raspberry pi 4 for you, clone the enabled mods, and just send you an SD card or even the box. It's only $100. Then you have a local place to develop. You can even duplicate the site. 256GB of space should be enough.

- There is a new kind of flag called "divisive"
How does following a cult make you qualified...
That's divisive. It really is
richwicks saysBTW - we lost 4th amendment rights with the Patriot Act. That's gone.
We should fight to get it back. The game is never over! They will keep taking away rights until people resist one way or another.
And as soon as we slack off, they will start taking away rights again.
The current situation is terrible, but it's not hopeless.
Still going to work on jazz's idea of extracting links from posts.
Patrick says- There is a new kind of flag called "divisive"
I don't like that. Patrick, Patrck, Patrick. I don't know why I even try to give the awesome suggestions I do.
Your doing that divisive feature becasue your upset about Trump Cultist supposedly being divisive.
Divisive is in the eyes of the beholder.
Can I flag any comment where you advocate massive deportation of millions of illegal immigrants as divisive ?
What if someone is for strong strong gun control. Isn't that divisive ?
Onvacation saysDoes this mean I cannot mock anyone for spelling and factual errors?
Right, don't mock them. There's no point other than to be cruel.
It's OK to correct them, in fact it's a good deed if you're nice enough about it.

You sure you want to leave it open for, well, theft?
Remember, that's how Fuckerberg made his money, stealing code.
But you told me I was OBLIGATED! TO! OFFEND!
I took lessons and everything!

You're right. Deleted.
It's a mistake. Divisive is in the eyes of the beholder.
My guess is this site which is already 80% right will become the right wing echo chamber that is reflected on multiple threads. But it will be civil and un-divisive because everyone on the right generally agrees with each other as to the main issues
You can just make it private!
You don't want to lose your history.
Shit, I should have copied it. If you're willing, I'll take a copy to develop it. I have a couple of good ideas that are patentable, but not really suitable for this site. If you're willing to allow me have a copy I'll partner with anything I produce.
Patrick saysStill going to work on jazz's idea of extracting links from posts.
He had the idea too. Cool.
This is a totally real problem and I guess that’s why it was so important to create it that money was no object.
I just followed the thread up clicking the "soinso says" part, and ended up with your post - it wasn't even clear to me you were responding to somebody.
That comment was to the commenter above that starts right in with “TDS” since the accuser is actually the afflicted.
one should be able to simply link and quote an editorial or editorialized(IE Washington post) article and not themselves explain why it’s relevant
WookieMan saysWhat does this even mean? Honest question....Does the part I just added offer any help?
This place causes cognitive dissonance. It then becomes a free for all of ideas and "evidence". I've watched heads explode.
I'll send you a copy if you send me your email, but I don't want to get legally entangled. Limits my options, might be used to shut down the site, and a friend warned me about unwittingly accumulating "business partners". That was actually the basis of the Winklevosses suit against Zuckerberg iirc.
That is, I don't mind it being open source, but I want to keep the copyright.
you can gleen a wealth of knowledge by considering what subjects are NOT presented
1992 Los Angeles riots- The CA National Guard is used to quell riots in the aftermath of the acquittal of four LAPD officers accused of beating Rodney King
Could it be that wookie doesn’t agree that a no-limit investment has been made to create 2 different sets of basic facts in our country?
I'm grateful to that guy. He was one of my mentors when I was an engineer.And he never got trolled
I avoid stilted language, I dislike that too. Maybe I end up being terse when using the iPhone. That does influence me different from the computer.
All true, but the next level was taken by the right wing which is to constantly elevate conspiracies and other lies.\
You can end up arguing all day whether shit is brown. They consistently claim that you are talking nonsense and comment on people like you, your mother, your age, size, employment, sex life, IQ, ad infinitum.
richwicks saysSo - wow. You don't realize that conspiracies do happen!I think that consuming conspiracy theories every day is like picking your nose and eating it.
Go ahead.

So no more pictures of Trump as an insane clown or talk of his being raped by Putin. That does not address his policies specifically and helps nothing. It just divides us.
And no more phrases like "liberals". That immediately eliminates the possibility of a liberal wanting to have a polite discussion of his point of view here. Again, it just divides us.
We need unity, not more division. E pluribus unum.
I'm just going to flag posts and comments I find to be stirring up hate and division. Don't worry, you'll know what that means, and the author will be able to click the "edit" button to see just what it was that got the post or comment flagged. It will be clear and fair.
Yes, it's a kind of censorship, but my hope is that it will make this site more useful to people of good will who really want to understand their fellow citizens and improve life. While the MSM routinely censors "offensive" ideas like the Red Pill theory, or our innate differences by sex and race, I'm not going to do that. All ideas are still open for discussion in a civil manner. The tag-line "Freedom to Offend" was not being understood as I intended. It seemed to be generating posts that were deliberately and angrily offensive.
Sorry if it seems like the food-fight is over. Everyone is still very welcome to have their say, just treat others as you would wish to be treated, including other political parties and public figures, and you'll still be able to make any point you want.
