The number of locked threads and 'moderator' comments lately got me thinking that some of us need a thread where there is no danger of being censored or locked down. Maybe this experiment will fail. Won't bother me.
So, if you have ever complained to the mods because someone typed something that hurt your feelings, leave. Leave right now and never come back to this thread.
If you are the type that can't handle words that go against your beliefs and are compelled to lash out, stay. But if you find yourself starting to cry and feel bad, go away. We don't want your kind.
And related to a recent post: if you actually are a terrorist, go kill yourself for practice somewhere where no one else will get hurt.
A note to the mods: if this thread actually gets content (doubtful) and someone complains, please send them the text above and tell them they are an idiot.
So if anyone wants to vent openly, or have some controversial conversation do it here.
I've never complained to any moderator.
But I think the quality of this forum is sadly going down hill. Too many people here are incapable of expressing an honest option, and then walking away. They have no better use for their time than to argue their point energetically and endlessly, with increasing vitriol.
The locked Kim Davis (KY anti-gay clerk) thread is one example.
The Health Insurance Alternative thread is another. In that one, the aggressive poster started off by making some very goods points about the potential downsides of Christian self insured health care groups.
I abandoned reading the thread (which ironically, is in the Welcome to the Forum section) when the aggressive poster literally told the OP to stew in his own filth, among other insults.
I would welcome tighter moderation for posters like the one in the Health Insurance Alternative thread.
