FEDIT POLITICS Thread

Memory is foggy on Codge. If I remember correctly...

He hated when people bitched/vented about the team.
He hated analytics.
He hated our politics.

That's pretty much all DSP is, so he is probably better off.

He also seemed to get pissed if you did not give him the "respect" he felt he deserved.

 

lol Biden says Trump is "bringing Jim Crow back" just because his administration wants those who vote to provide identification.
How little Joe must think of Blacks. Thinks they're too stupid and poor to obtain an ID?
Racism of low expectations

I never expected him to have an actual message, but going straight for the race card? Surprise surprise.

He told these people Mitt Romney of all people would "put them back in chains" back in 2012.

Go die, Biden. You are scum. SCUM

 

Please retrieve your brain from Fox News. Voter ID laws primarily disenfranchise voters in heavily Democratic areas.

Let’s be honest. The single “rule” at DSP is complete bullshit. Don’t be a douche? LOL. Give me a break. If that is grounds for banning someone then everyone in this thread deserves to be banned. As I mentioned in our PM, your job isn’t to enforce the unwritten rules of DSP or adjudicate whether someone crossed an arbitrary and subjective line. You are acting like one of those pitchers who get in their feelings when a batter flips his bat after a homerun. Was your ego hurt? Maybe throw a better pitch next time.

 

Give me a break.

You need an ID to buy alcohol, drive a car, get a document notarized, get a Costco card, see an R rated movie, etc etc.

But you shouldn't need an ID to vote for the fucking POTUS?

It is EASIER to obtain an ID in a democratic area as there are more DMVs.

If you think Democrats are too helpless to obtain an ID, you may actually be on to something. Has nothing to do with race, though.

How this compares to Jim Crow is beyond me.

 

I think it disenfranchises certain posters that you have to have an email address to sign up for DSP.

 

Also funny how you not only think blacks are too stupid to get an ID, but also assume they all have to be Democrats. You and creepy Uncle Joe really know what's best for them. Real racism.

 

Cap'n is/was my friend and a friend of my families for more than 40 years
extremely intelligent obviously and mostly a genuine great guy for all those years
i don't know what happened to him that spun him off center
of course he doesn't actually think he has gone off the rails necessarily but not the guy i used to know
his political discourse was spilling over into other threads and it was just a buzz loss
he wanted to make it personal w everyone here over something none of us actually control
thats not ok imo and he put his dick in his own mouth
whatever Ruven wants to do is fine w me and i didn't send one pm about it to him
have always said its his sandbox and afaik thats the first poster banned if that's what happened
guess everyone has their opinion but again he went low w the personal stuff and that's douchey

 

In the last week alone we had a poster wish for another persons death. And then proceed to toss around the N word without any hesitation. Even defending his use of the word. He was clearly projecting his own beliefs so it’s clear how he feels.
Diablo and Cap have gone at it several times, I’m sure both feeling like the other crossed the line
Rube/Diablo may have felt like the other crossed the line during the entire weasel/anti-Semite argument.
Fin replied to one of my early posts with name calling and threats so I made it personal (yet I get my account limited, funny how that works). He kept provoking me until he realized he fucked up. I can admit I was a massive douche. It was intentional. I’m sure he can admit he was one as well.

This is all within, what, the last 50 pages? I have not read the previous 200, or even most of those 50, but I’m sure there are several examples of users being “douches.” There is an ignore function for a reason. If you have a problem with someone, use it. Banning is childish and an abuse of power. The very first bullet point of this thread is “be thick skinned.” If you cannot tolerate criticism, name calling, personal attacks, kindly exit the thread. It is not difficult.

With that being said, Cap kept things incredibly civil. He in fact urged everyone to keep things civil. He presented interesting, evidence based political discourse. He was the only one challenging the hyper-partisan right leaning views of everyone here. To keep that up, by himself for years, takes tremendous effort and commitment. I was a lurker for years and made an account for the sole reason to thank him for that commitment. I understand how difficult it is. He then encouraged me to participate and be active on this site. Cap clearly cared about everyone here. He cared about DSP as a whole and wanted to see it become an inclusive place instead of one that pushes members away. As much as I disagree with Finski’s comments/personal attacks, I would not like to see him banned. I think it adds character to the thread. We all contribute in that way and that’s what makes this thread the best thread on this site. Removing people due to disagreements or because they were being a douche is doing a disservice to this thread/site. If you uphold that Cap deserves to be banned then I’m sure my activity will continue to decrease as well. And then this thread can truly be the monotonous right wing echo chamber that Cap characterized this thread to be.

 

You know what's bitchen? The ignore feature ... all I see is that twat Sauce's avatar. WIthout a doubt, the sriracha jpeg is far more edifying that anything that might be scrawled inanely to the right of it.

'Murica!

 

Banhammer...brethren to Mjolnir.

 

I'm sure I'm missing something ... like the dose of syphilis I never got, or the root canal I got, but without novocaine.

Maybe I'll slum at some point and read him again, but life is too short to read twatty posts.
