I put Ironman on ignore, he logged off to read my posts, quoted them, harassed me about them, and then had one of his buddies quote him so it shows up in the thread
YesYNot saysIn the last year, there has been a drop off in the number of liberals posting. This appointment of goran as moderator seems to have accelerated it, and I would agree that the moderation has been one sided. It's not a flagrant abuse, but I believe that it's enough to dissuade liberals from bothering to engage here. It's lack of interesting posts that's the real problem, and if you get rid of anon posts, you will be left with an echo chamber at this point.
If you look at the current threads, mostly politics, they are relatively balanced on both sides. Certainly enough Trump bashing on there, and then some neutral stuff as well. Here's an alternative explanation. The site was dominated by lefties and narcissists / strong personalities all united in their hate for Trump, but now that many moved on, accepted Trump and even embraced at least a few of his stances or simply got turned o...
Can you step up and start making more Liberal threads if you want to see more?
anon_313db saysAd homs are the biggest reason why this site started to and continued to struggle.
No that's never true. 4chan exists and grows even when the entire purpose is to ad hominem each other to death. If you want a reason for the decline it's because Patrick simply doesn't give a shit. He stabbed the most loyal users in the back and handed control over the place to the liars and trolls.

I see topics started by Hey You certainly on the left of things, Roidy as well, tovarichpeter, sometimes yesYnot and timaurora and rew, then neutral ones like tvgnus, heraclitus, curious2, bob doesn't start many but certainly replies to many (also more on the left though somewhat centrist). The rest I'd put on the right side of the spectrum. Here's to all of those staying on.
It's not a lack of threads that's a problem. Thread starting is easy.
Regarding uneven moderation, this is why I think it's a problem: I know that there will be snide and marginally insulting posts coming my way. To a point, that's fine as long as I am able to respond in kind. However, if I expect to be hit with harsher moderation than the people who are insulting me, that's going to be more frustrating than fun. If the moderator is more concerned with what constitutes an insult than what constitutes an intelligent and relevant idea, then that's another problem. I've seen both of those problems so far.
Nope. Fuck this anti free speech forum. You can shit all over it but for god sake don't insult anybody. Them's the new rules!
Blue Sardine has never been a serious contributor because s/he's concerned with winning over substance. Most of the users remaining have shown miserable integrity.
If you are honest you don't care what someone calls you. If you are lying steaming piece of shit you care extremely much what someone calls you and you get to be a moderator. Welcome to hell.

It's not a lack of threads that's a problem. Thread starting is easy. It's a lack of good and novel ideas, particularly in response to others. I don't really have an interest in trying to take up the mantle of all of those who have left. I'm perfectly happy to contribute if there are other posts that I find interesting and agreeable, but I'm finding less and less of those. That will reach critical mass if it has not already. That's just how I see things at this point.

Patrick is killing his own site.
The right wing cesspool this site has become is something that Patrick can't see,
There is literally zero chance that if this place survives another 5 yearsanon_d57f7 says
The site has been destroyed.
Patrick gives so little of a shit about this issue that he hasn't even bothered to defend his choice of Goron or his lying or his trollism. It's obvious that pigshit cic has more influence over what goes on here then the people who helped build the place over 10 years. Let It Burn.
It's a logical fallacy that people insert into an argument that appears to be a logical response but instead is a dishonest non sequitur
if you don't equate Libertarians with mainstream Republicans.

Teach me how to differentiate between the two, and I’ll give it my best.
You’ve always been reasonable, I appreciate the replies
@patrick that winehorror user name scheme would be more fun. Anonymous is annoying.
So you think Trump made yet another bad appointment with Sessions, and you want him fired.
Not because he is literally waging war with our citizens, not because he perjured himself under oath, not because of his UnAmerican, anti-Constitutional stance on civil asset forfeiture. None of that. Nope. Never even a mention.
But simply because he doesn’t know what you and Alex Jones know wrt locking up Hillary
At least you have your priorities straight, if nothing else
Your response is Trump, who lied about his stance to get elected, then did a 180 and fucked the country and constitution straight to hell by appointing Sessions
Obozo the clown who admitted to drug use did nto take one step towards drug legalization. Instead he gave us Heritage foundation care.

Actually, he did exactly what Right Wingers claim to desire: he left the States to decide for themselves and told his Federal Government to stand down and respect the choice of The People at the local level.

anon_d57f7 saysYet he was still able to remain civil with all the people on the left. Speaks volumes doesn't it.
This indicates that winning was not his priority, nor should it have been.
Winning is the priority for the self-absorbed. Instead of vanquishing opposition, we can instead possibly learn something worth while from each other. I refer to ideas that are not sourced in propaganda.
Ideally men pride themselves on the worth of what they do not the value of what they can consume, which betrays a female mindset. Also management is a feminine art. The subject of "wining mindset" could take several threads. Also the subject of manliness, honor, integrity versus this age of nationwide propaganda that always makes strong appeals to maleness.
Back on topic: Goran, for one example, should have his tactics reigned in, in the interest of exchanging important thought, his history h...
Fucking White Male saystactics reigned in" is not a fact, nor is it a specific that can be addressed.
Bald faced lying is the first one that come to mind, but that is just one of the many tactics used to insist on victory a meme that is typically straight out of Fox News' daily coordinated lies budget. Many tactics revolve around changing the subject. Other people, in this case a family, have listed and categorized common tactics on a web site here:

This was an eye-opener about 20 years ago.
Winning is the priority for the self-absorbed.
