Serious post:
Some on the radical left on this forum - littered with maroon and red avatars - have resorted to name calling and personal attacks against me and other populists and conservatives in recent days. Especially since this virtual encampment was started.
Yes, I'm using trolling as a form of protest.
Yes, I'm using parody as a form of protest.
Yes, I could just shut up and leave again.
But none of these maroon and red avatars ever ask themselves: "why do even the moderate blue avatars eventually bolt from us?" Maybe you should ask yourselves hard questions about how you engage with other people.
The discourse on this forum has been outrageously off the rails for years.
And moderators do next to nothing to punish the behavior of such posters while any blue avy who acts even a quarter how they do get banned and now anything that wouldnt be acceptable in a liberal arts department is bigoted.
Completely unserious moderation in every possible way
