So . . . anyone else been given a "time out" on Discussionist, hehe?

[Damansarajaya]

It turns out that juries will hide your posts if you

1. call someone a douche-bag

2. post a picture of a sniper in position at Cliven Bundy's ranch and point out that Ferguson protesters are NOT doing this

3. show another post-er who said that Officer Friendly Darren Wilson would be welcome in Alabama a photo of the Alabama KKK marching in full regalia

4. saying that I refuse to engage in a war of wits with an unarmed man.

Amazing the level of civility that they enforce over there.

Kinda boring, actually.

1. jcoath, people @disc complain about du, people here now complain about there. argh

oh, they are SOOOOOO mean to hide my posts for blah blah blah.

[Damansarajaya]

2. Not too mean, too nice actually . . .

By the way, your post would probably get hidden there, heh.

[uppityperson]

11. sorry, am just annoyed at usage of 1 place to complain about the other

I rarely go as why bother, too many nasty people there

[Scuba]

3. Yeah, I gave myself one. Appears to be permanent.

[Hoyt]

4. Have had two. Seems to me, "sensitive" right wingers rule there.

Very difficult to remain "civil" to obvious callous racists, who continue to claim they are not.

A number of them have been DU Gungeon regulars before being booted, some of whom lasted considerable time here.

Reminds me of Bill Maher joke: "There are two things conservatives can't stand, (1) Being called a "racist". . . . . . . (2) Black people."

5. I have zero hides now

The one hide that I did have didn't even come from something that I said, but rather a meme graphic that said that Republicans aren't racist, but they do have different rules for black presidents.

However, I have since called them every name in the book and they've been unable to hurt me for any of it.

Just remember, over there, you're playing with morons. They have way more experience being moronic than you'll have. So just don't let them out maneuver you and beat you with that experience.

6. Eh. No one over there even notices me.

[Bjorn Against]

7. That site has become such a cesspool of bigotry that I rarely even look at it any more

There is so much racism and misogyny on that site and very little worthwhile discussion. I am all for debating my opposition, but many of the people on Discussionist are just plain vile and there is no purpose in trying to engage them.

8. Exactly this ^

As an aside, some MRA shitbag over there called me a white knight and implied I had Low-T...I guess I'll have to ask my gynecologist about that!

[Hoyt]

13. Yep.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

9. I have One Hide over there. Haven't been over there in days. Meh. n/t

[Art_from_Ark]

10. I haven't even signed up for the place

I've got too many eggs in my basket as it is.

[orleans]

12. i went there to look one day--months ago. that was enuf for me

i'm used to this place.

[Gothmog]

14. No

It is fun "discussing" issues with the conservatives. They can not handle facts and so it is fun playing with them

[Arugula Latte]

15. I don't have the stomach for that place.

[Paladin]

16. They'll nail you for accurately referring to a poster as a racist. Lots of obvious targets. (nt)

[Raffi Ella]

17. Not me, I never got a hide either.

I hardly ever sign in over there anymore, it truly is a garbage pit of hate, bigotry and racism. Maybe if they were funnier, or weren't so dead serious with the stupid shit they post I'd be more inclined to go over there. But they really are just.that.stupid.

I signed up because I wanted to support the Admins but I just can't go to a site that would allow such racist stupid shit. I don't know how Skinner and the others can stand hosting it.

18. I see a lot of that stuff here on DU

As you are complaining about hate, bigotry and racism on another forum you will also notice it here on DU as well. your hate for discussionist a case in point. Discussion forums do exhibit such attitudes,some more than others.
If you spend more time on that other forum you may find its not as bad as you claim.
if hate, bigotry and racism is something you dont want to experience discussion forums are not the place you want to be..

19. One can look on Discussionist

and see exactly how discusting RWers can be.

[Kaleva]

20. No.

Been alerted on twice but the juries voted to let the posts stand.
