Nah, I think political overcorrectness definitly falls in the SJW category

[Flying Dice]

Oh yeah. That's one of the pillars of the goodthink crowd.

What the hell happened in the Brexit thread

[Yoink]

Political discourse, obviously.   

[smjjames]

Reading it would be better than explaining it, since Toady One left the whole thing intact for some reason.

Political discourse, obviously.   

There was more to it than 'just political discourse'.

Not from what I saw, although I only read the last few pages. Things were getting rather heated, but that's normal.

Pay attention to Lagslayers posts.

Again, I'm a bit surprised that Toady One didn't excise those.

Given the statement, it looks like toadyone did not like Lagslayer's views on white ethnostate preservation?

It isn't like ethnostates are a good thing anyway, in a modern cosmopolitan setting.

Lets keep locked thread subjects in locked threads, mate.

Uh... so, if you disagree with someone's political views, any discussion involving them ceases to be a political discussion?    

[wierd]

Touchy subject.  On face value, there *IS* some credence to the whole "You are perpetuating a double standard" petard behind his rhetoric.

On the other, it falls apart for the reasons Sheb and others pointed out, albeit in a bit of a bitchy way.  Namely, it is not-internally-consistent to rail against 'genocide', when the solution proposed is more of the same.

Further, Toady is exercising his rules about disparaging other cultures/hate speech preemptively.


The topic was veering into waters toadyone did not approve of, silenced it accordingly. That's my take anyway.

[smjjames]

It was veering into waters that a whole bunch of people disapproved of, to be honest.

[TD1]

Indeed. But perma-ban? For what seemed to be fairly cool discussion by forum standards? If lagslayer were more insulting, violent, or nonsensical about it I'd understand more. What I saw looks suited to a slap on the wrist, not off-with-his-head.

We were discussing dumb stuff before our tabletop game, and I brought up the hotdog/sandwich debate as a "haha, how do people argue about this".
Uh, yeah

Though we didn't argue hotdogs, but burritos and dumplings.  It was actually pretty crazy and lasted over half an hour before we all backed off.  WTF lol

Edit:  We made one perception check, and now we're discussing the origin of this stupid second definition of "literally".  noooooooo
Oh gods now it's the exact definition of Generation X SEND HELP

[smjjames]

It's entirely possible that there is more to it than we see. A lot of his moderation is behind-the-scenes. He has said that one person (forget which) had like 11 or something warnings and stuff before that person got banned.
