Let's all hail TPB profanity laced diatribes on everything and anything as being the epitome of productive commentary.

Let's all hail Goran's sentiments as being the absolute height of productivity commentary since he is liberal bashing.

Liberal bashing good - conservative bashing - not so much.

Uh no. You haven't addressed Ed Lee as a politician, his policies, or why most people outside of SF think his corpse needs to be launched into the Ocean right next to Osama's.

I wonder if he regrets any sanctuary actions now?
I don't think he really cared. So sad

There’s no reasoning with Patrick, he’s lost it.

He seems to think that Goran is a good mod, and he cannot be bothered to address the fact that he chased off a few long time Patnetters, or why he’s constantly quarreling with most all of those that are left. “Maybe it’s a pushback against moderation?”. Remember, Patrick has admitted more than once to being on the Autism Scale.

“Maybe they just don’t like moderation, derp derp” lmao

lol, who did I chase off? I invite anyone to come and comment as long as they follow the rules Patrick has stated.

Goran volunteered and was accepted.


Then somebody who serially accused people of lying without evidence got mad. I mean he literally would get a reasoned post with facts and reasoning and call somebody "LIAR!" in response - this started entirely when Trump won. Then Got PO'd Goran was made Mod and that civility was being enforced after a more lax period.

This is funny. Civility was being enforced after a more lax period. Lol lmao.

I can’t speak for anyone but myself, but the issue here is that civility is being selectively enforced. It’s an absolute fact, and it’s why for some strange reason, I don’t have the ability to mark things as uncivil.

If Goron thinks it’s uncivil (a non Trumpcuck pointing out something that may not shed positive light on a Cuck) then it’s uncivil

If errc sees one poster (usually a mindless right winger attacking a messenger instead of the message) he marks it uncivil, and Goron liberates it immediately as Civil.

It’s stupid as fuck and those on the other side of the issue are obviously disingenuous as fuck, but it’s whatever. If Patrick wanted to change the forum from the free exchange of ideas, to the censorship of any and all criticism of right wing retardation, he should have given the option for the rest of us to vote with our accounts, because i think many would happily delete all their contributions in an instant. Kind of like he did for landtof (a MAGA Trumpcuck), but not for any freethinkers looking to protest in that manner.

True, BAO's comment is not productive in the least, except to illustrate a non-productive comment.

This entire thread is a non-productive comment.

Take off your blinders Patrick.

Goran at least gave a coherent reason for his dislike of Ed Lee.

Oh please, the ones who now whinge about civility were the same ones who targeted one poster and then when he was banned, they focused on another.

One in particular began attacking me after the Corporate Clinton lost the election, calling posters (inc. myself for the first time in years of posting) a "Liar".

#TDS is the most direct and economical explanation.

There have been many untruths posted on pat.net by Trump supporters. It's unfortunate that there is such a strong correlation between people who post factually incorrect statements and support for Trump

Show ONE post where I did that.

My goodness. I've been very neutral here, still will be with this comment. Lots of man babies here. Continue....

Ok i renege the statement as you are implying it wasn’t you. Sorry for wrongly accusing you in this instance

Aside from a few seriously butthurt posters (who actually wanted the #politics mod job themselves), everyone else I’ve seen has been fine with Goran’s modding.
Can you few butthurt people just give it up and move on? Goran was probably the best choice, as he’s always been fairly non partisan, or at least partisan-curious.
If you can’t stand him, think of this: you could have got me!

s he’s always been fairly non partisan

I hope that's a joke.

Although I disagreed with his sanctuary City position, overall I liked Ed Lee.
He was generally business friendly, lowered taxes to bring Twitter and others to mid market.
The city is booming under his watch and there are jobs for all who want one.
Some point at the negatives of a booming city like traffic congestion and high prices, but I see only positives .

Quigley has a long history here of being open minded and fair. Exactly what #politics needs

It’s not freedom for the thought you love, but freedom for the thoughts you hate the most
