You obviously haven't seen me argue that the Jews aren't all controlling lizard people on SS, no one has ever been banned for wrongthink on SS. No matter how "liberal". There are plenty of voices of opposition, but to be banned you basically have to be Dr. Casio. Or make fun of my lawn.

So what makes SS different from thousands of other low traffic forums, aside from a disproportionate amount of bitching directed at SA? Is that an accurate description?

Yes, now we can truly live without fear of being temporarily prohibited from posting, on an internet forum. This is what Soldiers died for.

I'd rather be banned than doxxed.

I dont think SA has an ideology except 'don't be a giant rear end in a top hat to other people'.

First of all, if you CAN be doxxed in real life, you're a complete loving moron who shouldn't be posting personal information on the internet. If you even care about getting doxxed purely on the internet which in no way effects your real life, you're a complete loser who actually gives a poo poo about e-cred, so you might as well just kill yourself.

Doxxing = "Oh no! My e-cred!"
SA Ban = "poo poo, there goes $10 or more, down the drain."

"Don't be a giant rear end in a top hat" is subjective to the one enforcing it, especially when the ones enforcing such an ideology are more than capable of being giant assholes, themselves.

Yeah,"dogpiling" happens, it's happened to me for having "liberal" opinions. But at the end of the day it's no big deal and doesn't stop you from speaking your piece.

Okay, so if someone was careless with their personal information, they're retarded unless they're so boring they've never done or said anything potentially controversial. No wonder people like Ryan8723 make pseudojokes about how only yuppies and old people should be allowed to post.

It's a valid concern. People who hold grudges on the internet are more likely to show up and light your mailbox on fire. Look at what happened to Chris-Chan - can you say he deserved all of that? You can't ever underestimate the willingness of internet nerds to do actual IRL harm to people they don't like.

So? Do you demand rule of law on your private internet comedy forums?

It hasn't stopped me from speaking my piece here. Are my opinions too orthodox and fitting with the SJW agenda? Generally when people disagree with me I get yelled at and a big red title, not probation or a ban.

What makes you think they don't already have accounts there?

I know SS has made fun of you in the past and perhaps that's why your are so buttburt about SS, but perhaps you can chill out. So you say SS is hypocritical? So what?

It would because that is basically SS. The fagmins are only there to keep actual illegal poo poo from happening and not to drive conversation, punish wrongthink, or be anything but invisible. If you say something dumb, people jump on you.

Of course SA thinks SS is all racist, evil white Rethuglicans when in reality it has people from the full spectrum.

If Fire or Zeitgeust started posting on SS, they would not be banned unless they started spamming gore/NWS, they would be mocked and their ideas/arguments would be argued against but they wouldn't be banned for defending themselves

I think the only rule on SS is that you must never make a funny post there ever, in which case I feel like the proof is in the pudding

This is why people say SS has an ideology. Because you're convinced that the only reason any forum could be bad to post in is because of moderation. The idea that D&D is bad because dogpiling on certain opinions leads people with those opinions to either leave or start making really lovely posts that prompt bans and probations is simply inconceivable.
