The Hofoid House of Absurd & Ignorant Posts VII

The old one.

I'll start with our friend maga2020 regarding Joe Arpaio:

Disappointed to see this FF against illegal immigration go

It didn't take long for Penzone to turn Maricopa into another sanctuary county.

Did we even need a new one?

Isn't 2000 the soft limit? I still don't get why that's the case.

It's easier on the server to have threads that don't reach epic length:

So are multiple smaller threads preferrable to larger ones?  I always just assumed that like more boards, more threads would slow down the forum even if the number of posts are the same.  If this is the case, there are probably some threads on Off Topic/Forum Community that can be locked and restarted.

Yes - go ahead and lock some of these longer threads - should probably keep the post count to 2k or so max per thread.

Thanks,
Dave

I thought threads were locked at 100 pages, not by post number. Makes sense. Carry on. Consider it naming it for Cora.

I was making a point re the 1st amendment grounds to the SJW side of the thread being locked and not as much to Atlas. I will say that a private forum is still grounds for 1st Amendment protections and rights within the ToS. It is also subject to Equal Protection (14 Amendment) in that forums on the Internet can be anything, Atlas or other sites that may be unseemly (Stormers, e.g.) but not banned.

Gustaf, refusing to publish an article (post) doesn't mean the whole magazine (or thread if you extend the analogy) shuts down and refuses any and all future articles because of its inherent nature as a ceased publication. The nature of the 1st Amendment must extend throughout any platform, printed or electronic, and its protections granted throughout.

Edit: I would add here, that overall the 1st applies to the Forum as a whole but the participatory extension of some commenters and exclusion of others violates what is essentially the definition of an open forum and defeats the purpose of a thread in the first place.

Definition of forum
plural forums also foraplay \ˈfȯr-ə\
1
a :  the marketplace or public place of an ancient Roman city forming the center of judicial and public business
b :  a public meeting place for open discussion The club provides a forum for people interested in local history.
c :  a medium (such as a newspaper or online service) of open discussion or expression of ideas

Name it for Cora. Seriously.

If you think Coraxion needs to be banned then a good 75% of the forum could be banned.

75% of the forum has not come out in favor of blowing up school buses full of children last time I checked.

People who say they oppose the deaths of their political opponents are lying.

WTF??

[dead0man]

I didn't notice at first because of the large obvious problem with what he said, but he also thinks Jewish children on a school bus are his "political opponents".

[Santander]

I mean, he's not wrong in the sense that deep down, many, if not most, people wish for some pretty horrible things, although describing children on a bus as "political opponents" is far from normal and rather horrifying. Also, normal people know that it is highly anti-social to openly and unapologetically talk about such dark thoughts.

Both good choices, but that last post by Cora was... pretty messed up.

[Santander]

Cora only has 415 posts. Fastest poster to getting the deluge named after them?

[The Other Castro]

I have no idea who this Cora person is.

This, and the Israel comment, are probably the most fcked-up things I've seen on this site thus far.

I regret my anti-banning stance and comment. I fully retract that.

I forget if it was posted in the earlier thread, but if not:

We just need someone to stay out of Middle Eastern wars, although the military-industrial complex and the Israel/Jewish lobbies will find that unacceptable.

Right, because we Jews love starting wars everywhere! Go away, antisemite,

Jews tend to support the Zionist entity, including its wars. Oh, and calling us anti-Semites is pointless because we (anti-Zionists) wear that name as a badge of pride these days.

I wish the non-Palestinians would stop using our issues with the Israelis as an excuse for their personal vendetta against Jews

It seems like that's replaced "global banking cartels" as the dog-whistle of choice for anti-Semites these days tbh.

[Santander]

Damn globalist banksters.

I don't mind if we secretly rule the world, I just wish I got invited to the meetings.  For some reason, my invitation keeps getting lost in the mail

Almost every post is talking about the loony speaker being sexually attractive.
