In fact the forum actively purges the users who would accept it as fact out of the forum like Snowlabrador
.
He was muted for his constant dooming and concern trolling, and in case you haven’t noticed, he’s back, and almost as worse than ever.
This is absolutely not true either. The mental gymnastics to tell how every poll that favours Trump is a bad one, is just ridicilous.
It absolutely is true. Have you not paid attention to some of those poll threads that have exploded?
I haven't noticed any dooming or concern trolling. And i have a feeling that negative opinions of people are just being copied from other people who share these negative opinions. Like if person A says person B is trolling and obnoxious, person C would just adopt that and parrot that view without any evidence of person B doing so.
That is the forum mentality, and it's strengthened because of the millions of "opinions of ..." thread. In fact, many users just adopt a very intolerant approach and opinion of other people, simply because of hearsay or a very selective amount of posts that don't describe the person's views actually. The strategy of how certain users are blackened or smeared on, is similar to how certain cultural groups were in the past (during racism, colonialism, or in fascist states). And in fact, people for instance also uses this approach to less controversial groups of people, such as Gen Z (which is not easy to define and therefore maybe is not as insulting when doing the same with coloured people or certain cultural or religious groups). But the way Gen Z is described, used and referred on the forum in a way is a cover term for transgender people. Hating Gen Z is a less controversial way of saying you hate trans people.
Responding to your second quote, no i haven't noticed but threads are posted by individuals, i look more towards certain posts or opinions and the number of recommends this had, and based on that, the exact opposite of what you are stating is basically ongoing.
