In reply to the discussion: I'm gobsmacked that this post seems to be necessary: A Presentation of Godwin's Law: [View all]DisgustipatedinCA
(12,530 posts)It's staggering what's happened to this place. I've been here since 2001, and I can say with certainty it's never been like this. Someone actually alerted on me and tried to make it sound as though I was a Nazi sympathizer. You're right--it's likely the bald one, although I'll never know unless he admits it, and he's shown himself to be pretty hesitant with admissions. He already insinuated that I was a Nazi sympathizer of sorts. He called me a "Paulbot". He called me a fool. And do you know why he did all of this? Because I pointed out that death camps and concentration camps are different things. I wasn't arguing any of the rest of the stuff he's talking about in his OP. I wasn't arguing that the US has concentration camps, death camps, or any other damn camps. I wasn't arguing that concentration camps weren't horrible places--in fact I mentioned it several times. I wasn't arguing anything political at all. But still, for this one, I'm a Nazi sympathizer, a fool, and a Paulbot. And no, I didn't alert on any of that. I laid out facts, and I didn't connect them to anything happening in the modern US.
The supreme irony referenced in my subject line refers to BaldGuy starting an OP about Godwin's Law, and then making Nazi insinuations. Whether Baldguy is the actual alerter or not, he said the same stuff in-thread. This person is of very questionable moral character.
It is nice to see that the alert was defeated 6-0. Thanks for letting me know about it.
