Haven't figured it out yet. So damn strange.
If you chop off or add one character to the url, it works:
https://patrick.net/post/1330716/2020-03-11-more-winning-scotus-backs-remain-in-mexic
but everything except for https://patrick.net/post/1330716/ should be ignored by the server. The date + title is really just a kind of comment.

I have lost my patience with the violent left.
Last straw was the murder of a young mother named Jessica Doty Whitaker in Indianapolis because she said "All lives matter."
All of their TDS shit is incitement to murder like this. They will not post their shit here anymore.
No more leftists, no more murders.
Reasoned debate welcomed, but the left is very weak at anything except calling people "racist", inciting hate, and murder, so I don't expect anything but more of the same from them.

The Left leverages fear and guilt as a tyranny tool, and to force people to trade liberty over their form of justice.
It is the false choice between justice or freedom.

It's amazing I have tried numerous times with lots of diplomacy to start a rational debate about Trump's achievements and failures and you just can't reason with them. Also they will go loot and burn and murder innocent people because one thug met his counterpart in a thuggish acting cop. It doesn't compute, if you think George had the same right to live as Jessica and those killings are on the same level you are blinded by TDS and hate. The reality is that Floyd had a big rap sheet including armed robbery and was high on many drugs and aggressive and tried to pay with counterfeit money while Jessica never harmed anyone in her life.

I think the automatic moderation comes from being flagged repeatedly. I never flag unless it's against the law. I think you don't condone this shit but what I'd like to see is many more on the left/moderate side to renounce and say we're going with Trump as long as the regressive left gets to rule and literally burns and murders and cancels people. Or vote for a 3rd party candidate/independent or write in Mickey Mouse to cancel your vote. Once these people are put in check and removed from the helm of the Democratic party you can be all anti-Trump again you want and vote for you favorite moderate Democrat - currently there is none and the country is on the verge of a civil war brought on by the left. It's time to break party lines temporarily and prevent Biden from becoming a tool for BLM and the squad.
mell saysthey will go loot and burn and murder innocent people
Who are they ? All the liberals ? All the people to the left of Mitch McConnell.
The worst thing is when one side becomes authoritarian or worse when both poles do that. Funny that when right wingers engage in extreme censorship, their own cancel culture, or total authoritarian behavior, they can not even see it.
Meanwhile centrist or even conservative liberals, get grouped by these right wing authoritarians with criminal assholes that are off the charts on the left.

Ok, I don't follow everything that gets posted here but I would love to hear from most of my leftist friends and acquaintances a solid distancing from what's going on right now. I think I would get irate too if somebody would downplay what happened to Jessica or make fun of it - note the media is pretty silent about this, it's being reported briefly and all in a lackadaisical hearsay manner - what has this country become? If you can stand up, raise your fist in the air (and some burn and loot and murder) because a multiple convicted felon got mishandled by a cop after resisting arrest then I sure as hell expect everyone to march in the streets now for Jessica. Currently there definitely is inciting of violence against White people, esp. Conservatives and Trumpers, and even young mothers who "dare" to say all lives matter.
mell saysI think the automatic moderation comes from being flagged repeatedly.
No the automatic moderation comes from a sequence of events. Patrick is afraid of what I will say.
The only reason I am saying anything is becasue I guess to have a few last words about this sad situation before I leave. Unfortunatley , Patrick will very likely delete any comment of mine actually describing what happened.
I guess what happened is that my posting negative memes or cartoons about Trump is now "inciting violence."
Sometimes the self righteousness becomes too much for a right winger to bear.

Nobody asked you to vote for Trump, all I'm asking you is not to vote Democrat which sadly currently is a vote for discrimination and violence against Whites. Just forfeit it then. Or go with Kanye. I never supported Boosh as soon as he started warmongering in Iraq.
SO much irony.
What too many BLM folks don't realize is that the actions of a few incompetent cops shouldn't be generalized on to all police or worse on to the entire "white supremacist culture."
Meanwhile give a right winger a few isolated sick or evil incidents that they can generalize on to the entire "left" and watch how fast they will do it with relish. And by the left, I mean anyone not planning on voting for Dear Leader.

Yelling "WHITE PEOPLE ARE EVIL" is unrelated to the deliberate murders of white people? No sane person thinks they are disconnected.
Nope, it's direct, causal, and deliberate incitement to murder.
BLM is a terrorist organization incorporated in Delaware, funded by Thousand Eyes, which has a huge endowment of unexplained origin.
Murder white people out of racist hatred.
We already have a Democrat authoritarian government which enforces laws in an utterly one-sided way, where to say "White lives matter" is racism, but "Black lives matter" is not.
All that is missing is the false-flag operation analogous to the burning of the Reichstag and Democrats will use this as an excuse to begin the mass executions of white people. Ironically by self-hating white people.

You could tell that the cop who had a knee on his neck was weary. He had already been fighting this thug who had been resisting a felony arrest and was using standard operating procedure to restrain him. Had he lifted his knee Floyd probably would have run or attacked. Floyd was a violent thug under the influence of illegal drugs. He was infected with Covid-19 and had comorbidities. To charge the cop with murder was ridiculous. Expect another round of chaos when the jury returns a verdict of not guilty.

So I choose to address the dangerous crap the left is doing.
And in particular I think George Bush was acting on the best intel he had at the time post 9/11. I have to study up some more...there’s a few books I’ve had on the back burner....but I’m guessing that alone could be an epic thread. Once I’m read up on everything...I have no problem taking on the entire site.

I've disagreed with every single user here, including Patrick at one point or another. There's been a handful of times I legit get pissy and probably cross the line. I'd never make an attempt to shut someone else down besides getting a bit personal with I think 2-3 users in the past that pushed the right buttons. I'll just keep pointing out flaws and say they're wrong. Then step away from the computer and eat some good food, go for a swim, mow the lawn, etc. and move on with my day.
One of the biggest issues I have is when I know of personal information from a source I don't want to dox and someone says it's a lie. There's no motivation for me to lie. I just wouldn't post on the topic. Plain and simple. I'm going to tell you that you're wrong and I have legitimate information. Just because I'm not willing to risk peoples jobs and personal information on this site, doesn't make some of my comments untrue.

FWIW I don’t really think you should sensor or moderate left leaning points of view or really any points of view that are within the rules of your site.
However I do believe we should relentlessly ridicule those who continuously cite opinion pieces with little intelligent commentary to accompany it. It’s not every posters job to break down bullshit written by full time paid writers. Posters ought not be so lazy.
And it also doesn’t mean I don’t think poorly of left leaning posters who take ludicrous positions in defense of Democrat politicians.

I know I beat this horse dead here, but if our Patnet personas were unknown, we'd likely all have a beer together and not even know.
Wait until I retire and move out of state. My personal experience will blow some minds :)
I use rea life examples sometimes but there’s others where I wanna scream bullshit and sit the poster down like a little child and tell them how horribly wrong they are.
7-10 years.

Yeah, I'm okay with most Leftie posts here too. Not so much the intermittent trolls though. If they annoy me too much there is the ignore button. Not having to see goat buttholes is a good thing too.
However, those aren't the intolerant murderous left.

Of course they are, by definition. The left believes in collectivism, elimination of private property, and the primacy of the state over family and religion. Unless your a sheep you will revolt. If you do revolt you will be eliminated.
The right believes in liberty, personal rights, and personal responsibility. If you want to go create your own little commune, go for it.
Has socialism ever made a society better?
The authoritarians are ALL on the left.

Yes, they definitely want to eliminate traditional hetero families. From the BLM website:

Yes, they definitely want to eliminate traditional hetero families. From the BLM website:
We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.
We foster a queer‐affirming network. When we gather, we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking, or rather, the belief that all in the world are heterosexual (unless s/he or they disclose otherwise).

Sounds reasonable to me. If someone wants to be queer, tranny, or whatever, I have no problem with that. If they insist on making me accept them as mainstream or try to indoctrinate my kids, then we have a problem.

Patrick.net is an online forum, a bit like Twitter or Reddit, but with much more freedom of speech than either of those. Almost anything goes, but a few things don't, such as deliberately personally insulting another user, or deliberately misrepresenting what another user said.
I got the patrick.net domain name back in 1995 when I was one day too late for patrick.com. Missing the .com name turned out to be fine. I prefer the .net name now because life is all about human networks. This site was just my personal blog from 1995 to 2004.
In 2004 I started writing about the housing bubble, which catapulted the site to national fame for a while. I was interviewed on NPR, on Nightline on TV, and in other corporate media that I have since learned to recognize as poison. Here are my original the articles about the housing bubble (the dates on them are much later because I updated them):

https://patrick.net/post/1282721/2015-07-11-eight-groups-who-lie-about-the-housing
https://patrick.net/post/1282722/2015-07-11-37-bogus-arguments-about-housing
The big housing bubble popped in 2008, and traffic fell, since it was no longer controversial to assert that we really had had a housing bubble.
About then, I decided to just let the public discuss other topics with each other and wrote my own forum software. I'm a programmer, so that was fun. At first I was kind of disturbed at the number of conservatives on the site, but as I discussed things with them and saw San Francisco literally turn to shit under far-left Democrat extremists, I changed my thinking.
And yet I didn't change my thinking all that much, because once again, I'm opposing corruption of government by the oligarchy. Before, my enemy was the NAR (National Association of Realtors) and I still think the NAR is nothing but institutionalized crime, but there are bigger fish to fry now, especially since the worldwide campaign to inject every human with a dangerous and ineffective genetic experiment, which was never approved by the FDA. (They approved "Comirnaty", which is not available, to deceive the public.)

I could go on, but you'll get the idea by reading the site.
I have a platform of ideas for improving America: https://patrick.net/post/1303173/2017-02-19-patrick-s-platform
And an explanation for how we got to this point.
Site Rules
1. Do not deliberately insult the other users personally.
2. Do not deliberately insult the site. It's free to use and does not even have ads.
3. Do not misquote people.
4. Do not post porn except in the tits thread. No actual sex and no homo porn please.
5. If you feel you must post racist or anti-semitic jokes, please put them in the political incorrectness thread.
6. Do not post illegal content, unless the US law making the content illegal is itself clearly unconstitutional. In that case, please do post it!
7. Do not threaten another user with violence or you will be quickly and permanently banned.
8. Do not post spam.
9. Do not promote the obviously ineffective and very dangerous toxxine. Millions have died from it, far more than from the virus.
If you're wondering why your comment was flagged, please click the "edit" link on it. It should be pretty obvious when you read your own words again. If you think there was a mistake about the content being flagged, please write p@patrick.net When you edit and save your own flagged comment, it will go back into moderation where it will get reviewed by a moderator again.
If you're suspicious that comments are flagged for political reasons, note that you can actually see any flagged comment in the html source of that page. Use "View Source" in your browser. Yes, it's inconvenient, but that's deliberate, to keep those comments out of the conversation stream.
Please use this effective debate technique:
1. State your opponent's position so that he agrees with it 100%. This is so that you argue against what your opponent is really saying.
2. State points of agreement, and anything you learned from your opponent.
3. Give your reasoning for why your opponent is mistaken.
4. Make it clear that you are attacking only the point and not the person.
Site Functionality
If you ignore another user, you will not see that user's threads or comments. To see whom you're ignoring and to unignore, look on your edit profile page.
To get another user's attention, mention that user in a comment with an @ character prepended to his username ( for example @Patrick ) and then he will get an email of that comment, unless he has emails turned off.
If you type or paste in an image URL ending in .jpg, .png, or .gif it will be converted into the visible image in a thread or comment. You can also upload images, mp3 audio, mp4 video, and pdfs (under 10MB) from your local computer.
You may not post large sections of copyrighted material unless you have explicit permission from the copyright owner. But excerpts for discussion are fine, and in fact protected by law.
If you include an embed video url from Rumble, Bitchute, Vimeo, NewTube, or BrandNewTube, the thread or comment will display the video. Please try to avoid YouTube urls, since YouTube routinely censors or demonetizes politically incorrect videos, such as those about the dangers of the toxxine.
These basic html tags all work in threads and comments: a audio b blockquote br code del font hr i iframe img li ol p strike sub sup u ul video vsmall
You can surround a word or phrase with the * character to make it bold, or the _ character to make it italic, or surround a word with - to
strikeit, or you can just use the b or the i or the strike html tag.Searching
Prepend + to require a word or - to exclude it: +Tunnel -Sky
Search for phrases by putting them in quotes: "Tunnel in the Sky"
Search for the beginning of a word by appending the star character: Tunne*
Shortcuts
^t will jump to the text input box at the bottom of a thread
^s will jump to the search box at the top of each page
^f will open your file select menu to let you select an image or pdf to insert in the text box
If you click "pin" at the top of a thread, it will get saved to your pinned list. For example, here is patrick's pinned list
There is a thread for each zip code in the US. You can have local discussions there about anything, or you can post things for sale, etc. To find the thread for a zip code, just do a search for the town name or zip code.
I also have a list of all US Congressmen as separate threads, where you are encouraged to comment on how good of a job you think they're doing:
