Yeah, the problem is opinions that can't be backed up with any observable facts, not their ideological basis. Most conservatives have disappeared, for example, because few could do more than spout Fox News talking points. When challenged, they stopped posting. If you spout an opinion based on some weird blog that is based on fantasy and hyperbole, you're not going to get a lot of respect here.

silence_kit posted:Pretty obvious example: if you read USPol, it is loaded with low content rants and posts about how Republicans, rich people, corporations are evil, and so on. The rants aren't really made against any particular thing someone has said, are often loaded with exaggerations and falsehoods, etc. No one enforces the forum rules here because huge numbers of posters in USPol use the thread as an outlet to vent about how much they hate The Bad Men. That's why I specifically don't contribute to the USCE thread. It's mainly a honeypot for bad posting. I follow it because there's some useful news there every page or two, but it's mostly unreadable dreck.

Turgid Flagella posted:Can you expand a bit on what about the belief that the existence of shelter as a commodity reserved for the privileged that can afford it conforms to the definition of "unhinged?" You're not looking for a debate or a discussion. You want a Kindergarten playground shouting match.

Main Paineframe posted:It sounds like the problem might be that the posts Vitalsigns is complaining about aren't getting reported, then? Any given post can only be reported once, so the question isn't "How often does X get reported?" so much as "How likely is X to get reported?" and "How likely is the mod to take issue against X when they see the report?". The problem is that "You got probated for being an rear end in a top hat" gets translated to "I got probated for being a leftist." The perceived persecution then is used to justify further assholish behavior.
