That thread was beyond redemption. That type of moderation needs to happen more often. Regardless, don't blame Goat. It was locked at my request.
censorship isn't something a political forum needs any of, and not you nor anyone else needs to be crying to mommy that a thread needs to be locked because you want it so.
if you can't defend yourself, stay away from the fight.
you can't have free speech and actual debate, without putting up with the sht as well.
there is literally no way to do that.
and while i get personally attacked as much as anyone, and from both sides no less, i'm not sure there isn't too little and too tame of personal attacking going on on political forums.
i see a lot of dishonest posts here from beyond hypocritical posters who lack honesty, and morals and ethics as well, too much of the time..
not that i don't agree with them on a lot of things, but no doubt we all agree with many things the totally dishonest and low ethics also believe in.
many rap themselves in the flag and/or the bible, while constantly lobbying against what the flag stands for, and what Christ lobbied for.
if someone is a lying total and complete POS, or backs politicians who are, there shouldn't be any restraints on calling them out for who they are, or who or what they are defending or promoting.
perhaps another form of "woke", is those who repress really calling people out for what they are, and thinking civility is not doing so, when maybe sometimes real "civility" precisely
IS doing so..
that said, dishonest, immoral, and unethical, perhaps have hard to define boundaries.
perhaps, less honest, less moral, less ethical, would be more appropriate.
that said, sometimes "more appropriate" doesn't really tell the tale, and is just the "civility woke" route.
perhaps there's too little calling people out, not too much.
and like i said, if you can't stand up for yourself and your beliefs and stances, stay away from the fight.
