(135,425 posts)There's plenty of "Pie in the Sky, One Day, One Day" they're putting out, but this is a problem NOW. It's a problem that needs to be corrected, NOW. People are being silenced, unfairly, NOW.
It won't be a problem when the results shake out and one side (notice I'm not saying which one, so anyone hovering near that SHUT UP!!!!!! button, back off) implodes with anger. Then there will be a load of people tossed over the side, they'll come back as socks, and they'll keep pulling the same old crap they've pulled before. The trolls who only come out of the weeds for election season will drop away, until the midterms, when they come out to shit stir once again.
But those people who were denied their voice can never get that moment in time back.
I really think they ought to have a real name rule somewhere--even if just the admins have that info. And they ought to limit the ability of people who sign up and post a thousand posts in a week ("OK" "That's great!" "+1!!!" etc.) to have the ability to sit on a jury against someone like 1SBM. Maybe newcomers ought to be identified by a notation under their avatar--as is the case with many websites. And that ought to be a function of both TIME (as in calendar months) as well as posts. And maybe, if you don't use it, you lose it. You don't sign in after six months, or even a year, your account goes POOF. You have to re-apply and start at zero.
Something has to be done. This once-great place is really getting ugly. The smell of raw sewage is overpowering. It's unlivable.
Right now, our political haven looks like its right wing counterpart. And that's not a good look.
