This is very much a fash v fash fight, so that keeps me away from setting up on a side, but I have learned from civilization games that you can't just use any old cassus beli and skate off from warmonger penalties, and I think that's the sum of the average Ukraine supporters perception too

Good for you! I'd love to go someday. I'm glad they've rebuilt it as effectively as they have. It used to be a really beautiful city, so I'm happy it's becoming that again.

Azov commander seems to contest the popular notion that Bakhmut is being defended by low-quality units Жорін з Азову posted:⚡️The situation in and around Bakhmut itself is becoming more difficult every day. At the moment, the enemy shifted his attention and most of his forces directly to the city itself. They are trying to advance in the territories of the private sector, industrial zones. Extremely heavy battles are going on for every house, for every meter.

Majorian posted:Glenn/Tucker/Bri-chat needs to stay out of this thread, and if they're going to post here they need to do more than just troll. Majorian posted:It's almost as if mentioning/citing Tucker wasn't the issue. what you probed me for was juxtaposing media coverage of seymour hersh's article and pointing out aaron mate's limited venues. it's legitimate media analysis and criticism. can you honestly point to a single instance of why we need the rules in this thread specifically? show us. i can do the opposite over and over to show your claimed concerns in this thread are imaginary as others have pointed out to you. people were actually riffing off what you said was a "troll": CODChimera posted:
gradenko_2000 posted:
there are a bunch of threads sympathetic to this style of posting (e.g. this, succ zone, asia, etc.) and threads hostile to it. those other threads would have hooted and hollered for a threadban and patted you on the back, but you chose this thread out of a deep misunderstanding and got the opposite response. obviously i know what this is about. there's a group of posters that want a rigidly enforced echo chamber where even mild disagreements are punished. say taibbi is maybe not conservative? disagree that a woman who was doxxed doxxed themselves? punishment followed by a chorus of calls for a threadban. the same thing happened with the threadbans on talking about biden's rape allegations. the claim was people mostly only want to talk about these topics because they are "trolling" or "derailing". disagreement can't be sincere. i haven't even posted in those other cspam threads for weeks now b/c such rigidly enforced echo chambers chase me and other posters away which is the point. if it really gives you and az such a headache [i doubt it] i'll continue to refrain from bothering them in the trump/icw/post-twitter-acquisition-musk/pyf threads as i've already almost entirely done so for years and years where it's not been an issue with some d&d mod with a grudge hounding me. i dont post in d&d for the same reasons.

"yeah this rosenberg guy just happened to be a nazi, and this plane he donated, adorned with nazi symbols, really had nothing to do with the nazi ideology he supported"

comedyblissoption posted:the thread told you they don't want these rules. I'm sorry, but there's definitely two sides to this. When you come in and post about Glenn and/or Tucker, we hear from people on the other side who don't want to have the same discussions about Glenn and Tucker and how they're right or better than libs over and over and how that's a damning indictment of libs, so I'm going to take you up on your offer to not post about it here. I understand that you don't like this, but it really is the same basic reason the Glenn thread was made in the first place and the way people hate Glenn and freak out over him has a way of warping threads into being about that.

cbo, the reason why I probated you wasn't because you posted sources that I don't like or made arguments that I disagree with. It's because I've seen the way you troll other threads and try to make the discussion all about your favorite media figures. I don't want that for this thread, so please don't do it here.

Glennchat can be annoying but it doesn't come close to the pedantry some other posters engage in and I don't see why it needs to be pre-emptively stomped on. Anti-war and lib hypocrisy, this threads bread and butter, are the main appeal of Glenn anyway

comedyblissoption posted:it's only particular threads and posters that have a problem with it. this thread, the succ zone, etc. have no problems with it which is why this thread just overwhelmingly told you the rules and moderation was stupid. The thread seemed to mainly be against the use of threadbans, not keeping Glennchat to a minimum here. Indeed, more than one poster said that they found your gimmick a little tiresome.

There's plenty of places to discuss those figures, this thread doesn't need it and while I appreciate your commitment to the bit, I'm going to please ask you to take it to other threads so this one doesn't become Glenn focused.

And yes to be clear, you're not threadbanned cbo, there's no threadbans, but there's way better things to discuss here than Glenn and Glenn's opinions on the war. Folks who want to discuss Glenn have a whole thread to do that.

I certainly have no grudge against you cbo. I think we've always had a fairly positive back and forth. But I've seen Glenn chat just utterly derail thread after thread because he's such a divisive figure, and so keeping Glenn chat out of here seems like a very reasonable decision to prevent it from doing the same here. You're more than welcome to post here, but we're just asking you to keep the Glenn stuff specifically to the Glenn/Brie/Tucker specific threads.

sure az, but majorian said the threadban was motivated by a grudge. you are not understanding the difference in thread cultures and not listening. this is obvious by rescinding the threadban almost immediately due to the overwhelmingly negative reaction. how can my posts about tucker be a "troll" when people were riffing on it? people got exactly what i meant except apparently the people who dont understand the thread vibe tasked with moderating it.

I'm not sure why that's such a problem; people find other people's gimmicks annoying all the time. To be clear it's not like citing Glenn or Tucker or whoever else isn't allowed ITT. Of course it is, as long as it's pertinent. What isn't allowed is making this discussion all about them or trying to troll people into dumb fights about them. quote:how can my posts about tucker be a "troll" when people were riffing on it? people got exactly what i meant except apparently the people who dont understand the thread vibe tasked with moderating it.

Yeah, the threadban was wrong and an overreaction, no argument there. Majorian got called out on it and, as he should have, backed down from that. However, I think he is right to keep Glenn chat out of the thread as a general rule, for the reason I just mentioned.
