he breaks his own "rules" that have little to do with the Brownsboard rules.

That isn't moderation, it's abomination.

We had a legendary outstanding adventure in N. Colorado and Custer State Park, etc.

Looks like Dementia Joe’s numbers are climbing!

When it’s all said and done, this fucking meat puppet will surpass Trump’s Covid death count by years end.

Just for the heck of it I remember the occasion and Gorka called you a POS. So I looked this up. There's a link.

But just because you don't agree with their politics red-state, Newsmax Etc are not illegitimate news sources. Neither is MSNBC even though I don't like them. But others here use Twitter as a source. Right?

And yes there is more Biden bashing here because the members of this board are probably 7 to 1 conservative. ( ironically huge amount of my Facebook contacts are musicians and a lot of them are left wing. Doesn't mean they aren't my friends just means I don't converse with them very much in public. But conversing about politics is exactly what this board is for) That just makes sense. You will find more discussion of Baker Mayfield on the Browns board then you will Ben Roethlisberger.

And just for the sake of conversation I note that you have again failed to defend any of President Biden's policies and explain why they are the best way to proceed for the United States.

Unfortunately actual discussions don't draw that much attention oh, from either side. I would guess that nine out of 10 posts are meant solely to piss off the other side of the aisle. And because of the 7 to 1 ratio... Well you get it.

Thanks.

"Unless it's way far right- there IS no discussion to be had here Steve- just personal insults directed ...

 no kidding the post you just made is evidence of that.

Quite true there's not very much moderation going on here at all and that's for a reason.

We obviously have a different idea about what moderators should do. When I signed on I discussed it and my policy has been fair and constant ever since. No advertising spam no actual pornography no actual threats of violence. That's about it. My job is not to threaten, bully or punish people that don't agree with me or have different political views. That's what the last guy did and apparently the way you like it except from the other side of the political fringe.

Most of the guys on this board are conservative either center right or far-right or in between. (For the record I don't go to the tribe board or Browns board to defend Steelers and Yankees fans) Personally, I'm on the left and the right of different issues but I think I'm able to discuss any of them intelligently without screaming and name-calling unless the other side behaves in kind. (At which point I can curse and insult with the best of them.) Every guy on the board has his own style. Some of us like Trump or at least his policies. Many of us think he can certainly be an a******. But he's not the president anymore your guy is. There's a small handful here who apparently support Joe Biden. I don't know why because nobody ever really defends his horrible policies, they just b**** about other members of the board and Trump. Actually, I wish we had more intelligent posters from the left who were able to actually argue a point like Shep or Heck or Chris. (but you guys kicked shep off because he didn't like the same quarterback as you right? You probably miss him now because he's as fringe left as anybody)

If you want to discuss civility there is no one on this form that resorts more to name-calling foul language and abusive behavior then you. You might want to consider doing your posting before you've had your first bottle of Cabernet. And almost daily announcements you are leaving this cesspool because….. whatever. Really if it's too hurtful go with my blessing. Go back and harass Steeler fans. We all hate Steeler fans.

But from my point of view if you support Joe Biden good for you. Tell me why his policies are best for the nation. That would actually be something we could discuss.

Unless it's way far right- there IS no discussion to be had here Steve- just personal insults directed against anyone who doesn't agree with the echo chamber.  Would you like me to pull an Axe on you and call you "the crappiest Moderator I've ever run across"????  Hmmmm?   If you happen to agree with the echo chamber-  there is zero, zilch, nada moderation going on here.

Hell's bells- your POV- we have real reasons to believe BDS is bullshit..  That was probably the lamest attempt at Trumpist apologetics I've seen of late.  I wrote you in a PM- a guy on the other side of the fence posted 25 reasons why it's 100% OK to hate Trump's guts. You have a poster here who declares DT "the greatest president ever ever"- when unbiased presidential historians rate him in the 5 worst.   

So, Steve I'll leave you with this one....  I'm SO sick and tired of the mantra from some quarters- "the election was rigged- or fraudulent- AND EVERYBODY KNOWS IT".  Doesn't matter how much evidence to the contrary is presented- the brainwashed are still going to believe it.  And I fucking dare you to contradict me on this one....  Not the exact quote but...  Mike Pillow declared.... "I have so much evidence when I present it to the SCOTUS- they're going to overturn the election - not only that- but it's going to be a 9-0 verdict."...   Yo- Mike Pillow August 13th is come and gone Joe is still the president, and now you're moving the goalposts to the end of the year? AGAIN? so contradict this "EVERYBODY KNOWS MIKE LINDELL IS BATSHIT CRAZY, AND EVERYBODY KNOWS IT.'   FYI you have one Q-ball here who sadly- actually believes his Orange Messiah can be president anytime before 1\20\ 2025.  .  

I could start slinging stuff about Boebert and some creative avoiding of campaign finance laws.  But- as Tex has said- you guys are buried so far down the rabbit hole of unreality- you can't even accurately determine anymore the sky is blue on a clear day- when Trump is telling you it's green.  ;(   

And I'll stand by what I said- from one Moderator to another.  If the name of this Forum was changed to "8chan news" there would be no discernable difference as to the content.

What exists on this board that you would consider "way far left"?

Or do you just mean this country's discourse in general?

I think it's fair to say this forum is a right wing echo chamber with an incredible amount of hatred towards anything even remotely  resembling a liberal POV.  There's a shitload of complaining about Biden that the group think is justified- but start talking about the Pillow Guy, Q, or the Ninjas? Don't want to hear any of it.  It's bullshit- fortunately, I've come to the conclusion it's not worth wasting my time to even bring up an alternate POV- which results in me, or Woody- getting a ton of personal insults.  

Like a couple of the others in this thread- I've totally had it with crap that's the staple of the right wing side of the fence masquerading as 90%+ of the "discussion" here.  Far too much conspiracy and alternate reality. I may stop by on occasion when something newsworthy shows up. 

And finally- Hi Gorka- so you've decided to return.... Just one more reason for me to get the hell out of Dodge.  The bad part of me being a Moderator is if I put every poster here who I think is a jerk or MAGA nutjob- it would easily go into the double digits. Too much of a waste of time over on the Browns Board having to unhide what those guys want to say Browns related.  I sort of regret ever coming over here and getting sucked into the pig slop.

No such thing.

Biden is deserving of the scrutiny he's getting as would any president, Rep or Demonrat. .

The hatred for Trump was irrational, stemming only from how he acts and speaks. You know you have TDS when a Trump mean Tweet makes things such as record black unemployment or gasoline being at only $1.75 a gallon trivial to you.

You know you have TDS when CNN criticized the way Trump eats fried chicken and you were appalled by his eating habits.

You know you have  TDS is when your lies conflict with each other and you don't care.

Oh and how pathetic they sounded when resident libtards here tried to rationalize to make legit their Trump hate. (You know who you are}

Nothing has or will ever come close to the 4 years devoted to ousting Trump from office by the demonrats and their media cohorts. TDS was real. 

BDS?

And the term "Snowflake".  That's another thing exclusively meant for you libtards.

I honestly think you guys have missed the point on purpose or accidentally. Let me try to clarify without being too much of a dick. Point is not who posts the threads, we all know it's mostly Vambo. Still that first bunch of threads that I mentioned are about different things that are going on in the United States and the world. I think most of those news stories regardless of the source are valid concerns. Don't you? In my opinion if you voted for Joe Biden and that he's doing a good job at any of those areas that's what you should say and state your case. You should write a response explaining why this is being handled properly by President Biden. You could also say he's not handling a particular situation the way you would hope for. Nothing wrong with that. You could even say you don't care about that issue at all. Many don't. But my point is that the responses to so many of these issues aren't much more than personal attacks on other members or the ex-president. (often within the same post as complaining about the civility on the board)

Doesn't this make sense to any of you guys? And in this particular instance I'm talking to the ones on the left (mostly).

WSS

Seems childish, right?  But that’s what people do when they are so one sided

And, yes, I think Biden is doing a HORRENDOUS job in Afghanistan.

But what fun would that be, without someone calling me an idiot?
