Please stop doing this. You can not cherry pick individual parts of posts that necessarily have a broader context and use that as a basis for argument. This is what news organisations and media hacks do, taking snippets of language to try hemming in an opponent and shoehorning the debate. It's disingenuous, so please stop it.

I don't know what the context of that quote was and she's not here to debate with, and I'm not going to dance with you instead.

I'm not talking about a post with more context, you're just assuming there must be more but I don't know why. 14 words is pretty clear cut on what it stands for and the fact that you're dancing around that is rather telling

So it isn't enough for you if someone were to come along and say "I want to make the future better for all white children

It seems it wouldn't be enough for you.
What's wrong with wanting to make tje world better for all white children?
I have read many slogans and pamphlets and flyers and ads that said "let's make the world better for autistic/deaf/invalid/Ethiopian/Afghan children."
And I bet it's not hard to find such slogans about black children in the USA.

Lmao. Even in this thread you guys are doing exactly what I have outlined is the problem.. it's so predictable it's not even funny anymore. When you have nothing to offer, spin it back around and try to paint the other person as the issue. It's such a boring strategy.

You clearly don't understand humour given you've removed all the lounge posts, and I'm beginning to wonder whether you're even a real person at this point given that you repeatedly demonstrate a failure to grasp what context is beyond the mere word.

So she liked the 14 words.
So what?
As long as she doesn't go around and convinced people to think like her, threateneing to inflict some kind of stupid action on them, it's just something she said she liked. An opinion as valid as anyone else's here.

Now probably you and others will say I'm a nazi sympathizer. I don't care, because you are free to think whatever you want.
Which all of this should be about.
Inclusive as a whole, where non-inclusive comments and views aren't used to get rid of people who might threaten the little echo chamber you are trying to build here.

This is the slogan:

"We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children, because the beauty of the White Aryan woman must not perish from the Earth"

What's actually happening here is they are helping to derail this thread into political debate so they can further prove their point about how toxic and time consuming it is, then close it so they don't have to talk about the larger issues. Someguy will talk in circles about the Nazi shit all day, but notice none of them besides Ali has said a single word about anything else? Now the actual substance is buried and all people see is them baiting you into trying to defend something they think will make you look bad.

Oh I know, that's why I rebuffed the '14 words' crap and tried to point out his total lack of context and attempts to shoehorn the debate by using cherry picked snippets of language. It needs to spelled out, how and what they are doing, because we know what's going on but not everyone reading this thread will know the full story.
 
Yea. Though I'm thankful @someguyontheinternet made the effort to quite the 14 words so nobody will have to click on tje link that was already posted.
It's fruitless to try to make a point here, be it about politics in general or this forum's administration.
At this point it seems more enlightwning to read about why one should not shoot up xanax bars gifted by some rango on tje street.
 
Yeah, it's sounds like a childish argument in here. Not even about politics and policies.

A great big giant argument with no point to it all. Just a bunch of jabs. It's not quite to the point of

anything yet. Just nonsensical. Happy now !!! Good job guys.

Good morning palatomate and everyone. 😉😉<3 You all are awesome great. You know who you are.

Agreed.
I recall being threatened with a ban for speaking out about the potential presence of Nazis and sympathizers on our forums despite not naming any individuals.
The right-wing echo chamber has gone on for too long, and I am glad to see @alasdairm and others working to change it.
I’m glad to see that you’ve had a change of heart!

I'm not sure @alasdairm is susceptible to this level of gratuitous ass kissing.

Can we please get a mod in here to clean up all this Nazi bullshit? The thread has devolved into another cum dump for the keyboard revolutionaries.

You were threatened with a ban?

You presenting a loaded question and trying to frame users as nazi sympathizers is very telling towards yourself.

What do you even do around here? You sure don't answer your PMs and treat members with respect. You treat this site like your own personal political playground instead of a HR site open to all types of people.

and of course you will completely ignore me once again, and all the other mods will look the other way.

Funny how "hitler memes" are banned in the lounge, but mods are wielding neo nazi bullshit in this manner in serious discussion topics.

The mod who edited the quoted post:
Did you do it to protect arrall from being reported, or because you felt offended by his wordplay with my former handle?
Because I thought that to be the best part of his reply.

Staff members, especially senior staff, shouldn't ignore any user.

It's not against the BLUA to be a Nazi, as long as you post within the guidelines. You'd think an admin would know that... HR is available to all... even people you don't like. Maybe that's why you were threatened with a ban? Going against the mission of HR? Yet I suspect there is more to that story.

But thanks for admitting this is all political, the left getting rid of opinions they don't like.

Hopefully the left wing echo chamber that is the discord gets removed? Oh wait :facepalm:

i'm going to leave it for now. unless people start attacking each other with insults and abuse, people can have their say. some seem to be posting and discussing in good faith. others not so much. draw your own conclusions.

i'm told that ce&p was both a liberal echo chamber and a right-wing echo chamber, perhaps at the same time? i'm just trying to get my head round that :)
