Without un-invisibling their posts, I'm betting they have slightly modified their tone to not DIRECTLY insult anyone in particular, but they're still seeing just how close they can get to that line.
Thank you for using the feature, as it was intended!

Just because you disagree with me, doesn't make it trolling imo. As I've said just because I am one of the few Republicans and Trump supporters who challenge these guys that does not make me a troll. I'll gladly take pms if you want to point out exactly where I'm trolling. I may be extremely up front with guys like Red and Fish and I did deserve that ban but I was not trolling. I was being very direct and I did break the rules.
Honestly though Jason why do you suppose there are so few Republicans in this subforum? Especially no Trump supporters here? Do you really feel like this place is welcoming for people outside of the main contributors? Do you think that's coincidence? I'm not trying to upend you, you do a great job but these guys dish it as much as I do. We live in a predominantly red state yet there are very few Republicans here. Am I wrong?
I hope you don't ban me but I genuinely feel the way I do and I spend a lot of time and effort on a lot of my post just to be called a troll. Now do I push buttons at times? I've admitted that and I've come back trying a better approach. Have we had heated discourse today? Yes but I don't think anyone is over the top. I'm fine if people want to vent about me but I feel I should have the same ability.

Just one example of the number of posts in a row with articles. Make your point, step away. Reply to a counterpoint, step away. Posting 5+ articles from various sources borders on trolling. My two cents.
And no idea why this forum is more blue. Probably isn’t it’s just those are the ones interacting with you.
I try to do it the right way but I break down more often than I'd like.

No... It's having multiple things that I feel need to be brought fourth. Every one of these post have substance. I do admit it could be classified as spamming and I am trying not to flood the board as much admittedly but every post there has a different view point to wrong doings and story lines. And yes using the word cult was push back at how many times this place has called others cultist as I will provide evidence below. I was making a mockery of how silly it is. But as far as trolling no... Every post there had a different subject. Every post had a different angle of why I feel the entire thing is a hoax. Different stories come out at different times and so dues different evidence. Especially at this time as this was fresh. Democrats are trying to literally sandbag Trump with bs arrest and there are so many angles that one post will not cover it.Donald is about to go through some things...

Now calling people cultist as I said was pushback abd my means to show these guys how immature it is. Is that a way to make a good point? I kind of think so. It's childish and unnecessary but it was meant to put a mirror up at the many times people have called Republicans cultist before I ever did. How is this "unifying"?

And I maintain that the board is mainly blue due to people coming here and being bullied by prominent posters. I will digress on that.

I suspect a bit of confirmation bias as well - they perceive the board as being left-leaning, therefore the only parts of it they see are the left-leaning parts. And, given that they mostly respond to topics that have been created by those further left than they are, those often get sorted to the top.Donald is about to go through some things...

How the hell does this hold up at all. Are they going to set reading times for the Quran as well? What idiots.

What threads specifically are not created by left leaning posters and are not left leaning topics? The Biden thread was literally created to talk about Biden(check the very first sentence of that thread) but outside of me and the occasional buck or AI post it's been completely taken over with nothing but Trump and Trump supporter bashing. I am mostly the only one who ever brings up Biden and his failures. The Biden thread was specifically made and I quote to "I'm creating this thread to talk about politics and things not pertaining to Trump. As enticing as the impeach Trump thread has been, he's no longer president and I'm tired of talking about him." We can't even have a thread to discuss the Biden administration without posters here turning it into Trump bashing...
Every single political thread turns into nothing but Trump bashing or is made specifically to attack Trump or Republicans like in this thread.

Trump is interesting and also deserves widespread condemnation. Biden is obviously going to be compared to his predecessor. Republican's and Trump republicans are also worth discussing, they are a definite political phenomenon that is repeating itself in different ways around the world.
Over here our conservative party (like the UK conservatives) has its most right wing leader in its history, his predecessor was another far right, evangelistic Christian conservative. The recent election result for them was devastating, as a party they've almost disappeared in Melbourne and Sydney as non labour voters have deserted the party for independents that are pro business but also for climate change, social safety nets and so on. (Historically the position of the Liberal party. except for the climate stuff, they were historically a middle right wing party.) The consequence now is that it is almost impossible for them to form government in the future without retaking their heart land. The reaction by their leadership has been to move further to the right, which is interesting (and amusing) and reflects the problem they have as a party, in the last 25 years the liberal party internally has moved increasingly to the right. They are now so far out of touch with the electorate that they cant seem to find their way back to the political mainstream. (Liberal MPs have been attending rallies organised by neo Nazi groups.) In this country people have been disgusted by this sort of thing and are using the ballot box to punish them, in the US which has a similar but different two party system, this break away from Trumpism and tea party has never happened. Its interesting.
In the UK i think its likely that the Torries will be absolutely crushed at the next general election, largely because they've moved so far right that most voters find them repulsive.

I will respond to this when I get some time. See, I actually think post like this are productive.
