Trump Address 07/16

[IndySteel]

This board is peak hypocrisy and cynicism, as it's been for many years now. When you have board moderators who actively join the handful of unhinged far-right extremists to pile on, constantly insulting and belittling the tiny minority of non-Trump supporters who post here, throwing all sense of decency and decorum straight out the window, then turn around, clutch your pearls, and pretend that board rules actually *do* exist to hold someone accountable, just proves what a joke the Steelers Nation forum has become. MAGA hardliners can freely throw around gay slurs and every insult in the book, only to be met with rousing backslaps and heehaws from the mods. It's a complete farce. But hey, at least this board matches up seamlessly with this malevolent adminstration, and the depths that Trump has sunken this nation to. So it all lines up perfectly.

just because you subscribe to a particular flavor of delusion does not mean that we should all accept that. You're on the other side of the planet. You quite literally have zero idea of what it is like to live in this country at this time. None. You may hear from your family or friends who do still live here, but you do not. It would be like this board telling you how to live in Hungary. We do not.

You've belly-ached for decades that this board needs to "return" to how it used to be - kinder and gentler. That's a bit difficult when *YOU* people take personal attacks to depths they should not be. Frog was exchanging barbs with me, and me with ze. Yet I never resorted to attacking ze's children. Ze did. Is that a good "sense of decency and decorum" or should that be thrown "straight out the window"?

nevermind. i know who you are and you'll defend ze even if he lit a MAGA supporter on fire in real life.

This board has always done that. ALWAYS. As a refresher, ask Coryea his purse or Bleeder about walking into the ladies room on accident.

go back under your bridge and cry some more for Frog.

So how does one keep from constantly piling on with insults when you keep asking for it?

The board is at its peak hypocrisy and cynicism each time you login.

Post Trog suspension and who could have guessed that yet another wordy lecture by Tibs was on the horizon.
It may benefit you to dismount from your liberal perch of superiority and put a moratorium on these lectures you sanctimonious piece of garbage.

 

[Tibs]

just because

Just be fair, consistent and even-handed, though I know these concepts are absolutely foreign to you.

As far as the other stuff, at least you wear your bigotry on your sleeve, I'll give you that. You know absolutely nothing about me, as if I have to jump through hoops to pass your citizenry and civics test to post my political views about this country. Lolz, what a joke.

And you're free to ban or suspend whoever the hell you want on this board. It's your little world, I'm just glad to be here. /cough

I do love how you continue to paint yourself and Frog as victims in all of this.
You do selectively forget or choose to not see that Frog was making personal attacks on my child. As I'd said before, ze's attacks do not bother me in the least. It does show the type of *person* ze is when ze resorts to that, though. You and I have gone round and round before... name an instance where either of us attacked the other's children.

I know you're from Commiefornia and were in Hungary when you decided to stay, or maybe you intentionally moved over there. Something or another about a basketball tour, if I remember correctly. Not that I give a damn. That was a lifetime ago. I used to be able to discuss matters with you. And extended an olive branch like badcat did. YOU, and you alone, were the one to burn that bridge. I learned my lesson. badcat may learn his, too, at some point.

And you're free to ban or suspend whoever the hell you want on this board. It's your little world, I'm just glad to be here. /cough

I did so after numerous board members said ze should be banned and openly asked what the line was ze had to cross. Ze crossed that line and knew it when he made ze's post. You can go back and read up on it.

 

[Tibs]

It's all good, bro. I haven't said one iota about defending anything Trog did or said.. just seems like you've turned a blind eye to similar hostilities on this board, not recently, but over the years. In this case, kids are always out of bounds, as it should be. Yours, mine, anyone else's. From my end, I've grown to ignore the usual insults heaved my way of late, don't even bat an eye at it. And I do appreciate the numerous members here who steer clear of the personal attacks and converse like grownups, even if we have differing opinions.

The last that I checked no one is being forced to engage in this forum.
But let's dissect your response for clarity.

hypocrisy and cynicism
unhinged far-right
insulting and belittling
decency and decorum out the window (a personal favorite)
clutching pearls
MAGA hardliners
rousing backslaps and heehaws
farse
malevolent administration
the depths that Trump has sunken this nation to.

This seems pretty divisive to me and won't be surprised at all if responses were returned in kind.

Perhaps Bluesky would be more appropriate for you. I'm sure you would find many there that share your opinion without question.

As far as Trog goes, he chose to attack the children of members here and was dealt with appropriately. Do you have a problem with that?

like Frog, you can't even remember what you said. Here's a refresher:

Here's a refresher:

Again, not a single word about Trog. Just calling out the inconsistency regarding leniency with a few members here who have a green light to do and say whatever they please. I guess it was a bit shocking to see board moderation in action, even in a case like this where it was warranted. I don't think I have ever seen a single post from you telling the truly belligerent posters on this board - and it's literally 3-4 individuals - to chill out and tone things down, be it calling for the murder of liberals, constant harassing, badgering long-time members, personal attacks, what have you. It is what it is, as they say. I've stopped responding to these type of posts for months now, I guess some folks just can't find another lane, and keep the insults coming. C'est la vie.

 

[ZonaBurgh]

What part of the "MAGA hardliners" should be in question and condemned?

A. A secure border
B. Safe cities
C. The government living within its means
D. Secure elections requiring voter ID

Which of these ideas are unhinged far-right? All of them were accepted as normal by the Democrats just 15-20 years ago.

There's no such thing as the far-right, they're just normal, sane people.

 

[ZonaBurgh]

Please list who is calling for the murder of liberals on this board and I will personally condemn them and ask that they be banned from this site.

You brought it up Tibs, name them.

100% agree. Kids are always off limits. To me that is common sense

What are you even talking about? You, Trog, me and everyone can get pretty nasty and it goes without much of any reprimands. It wasn't until Trog went after a member's children that action was taken. And, against most members' wishes, Flog will be allowed to return in 3 days. Pretty lenient for a fascist, racist, nationalist, far-right extremist, ultra maga board.

Come on, man, don't tell me you don't see IndySteel's posts. Maybe you have him on ignore?

When have I ever said that you should be murdered? How? Like put on a slab and cut up into little pieces Dexter style? Or stuffed into a drum of sulfuric acid and thrown into Lake Erie? Or locked in the trunk of a car with the exhaust pipe welded to the inside? Spike your caramel macchiato with cyanide, maybe? I have never said any of those things. Your accusation is offensive. Or would be, if IGAF.

You made the claim idiot, you point them out.
