Uh, when some idiot calls us white supremacists, I would expect them to back that up with examples.

Sober up.
He did qualify by adding, "considering the way things have been going here over the past year or two," an obvious jab at the board's Trump supporters.

Yes.

Well, other than the blacks and the Jews, of course.

The best. I’m probably the oldest 38 year old on the planet, but he, Dean and Frank were just ridiculously great entertainment. And his off the cuff “golf handicap” joke is classic.
Were you aware he converted to Judaism?

Firstly, I like the board just as it is. Secondly, I take great pride in being an equal opportunity ******* - I really don't like anybody. That saves wasting precious time and effort trying to decide which "tribe" to join and which ones to avoid. The swastika-wearing, nut-job tough guys can line up to the right to take turns kissing my butt, while the perpetually bleeding hearts of snowflake nation can put down their tear-soaked hankies and form up to the left. And yes, whichever brand of lunatic extremist you may happen to be, I'm absolutely talking to you.

Also, "White Supremacy Chatter" is probably a more appropriate name for this site considering the way things have been going here over the past year or two.

Yes! Yes, comrade! Excellently said. We also pride ourselves on being tools of the heteronormative cis-gendered patriarchy! :rolleyes3:

There is no argument here. This is only a weak sauce, generalized ad hominem so that you don't overcome ideas you don't agree with. Make a case or retract your nonsense. I had the best discussion I've had in years online over in the political forum recently precisely because this place isn't over moderated. There are trolls here - but where on the interwebs are you not going to find them? (Plus our trolls are the best.)

If you are threatened by the ideas of other adults - even if they are radical - you don't belong in adult conversation. Go sit at the kids' table while the grown ups talk about the important stuff. Make a good argument and thinking people will listen even if they don't agree.

My 2 cents on this rubbish, anyway.

You weren't around when Punto threatened to meet us on the streets with his gun.

The Trump voters who gave him a win in the outdated and repressive electoral college (despite his massive loss in the overall popular vote) mainly did so because they wanted to turn our country into a TV circus by putting a reality show clown in charge, and to bring an end to "political correctness" so they could be openly racist/sexist towards non-whites and women. Well, you got what you wanted. Mission Accomplished. So, please don't come crying to me because you're upset that the "snowflakes on the left" have become angry and violent. You ain't seen nothing yet. In Florida, I can happily and legally stand my ground in the streets, the sidewalks, and wherever I damn well see fit (which I've been doing repeatedly since Fahrenheit 11/9). Despite what fascists prefer, political protest is legally protected in the USA by the First Amendment. See you on the streets.

Alex.

Okay, let's leave any more politics out of it.

As for Punto, I would hope that anyone who viewed this board in such a repulsive manner wouldn't want to visit it anymore. Makes no sense to come around. I certainly wouldn't.

I guess this place can be intimidating to the average message board viewer. That would explain the ratio of lurkers to actual posters. But if things were to become more vanilla then I think you'd lose posters and lurkers. I, for one, have never understood people getting overly butt hurt over something negative being directed at them on a message board. Pissed maybe, but no real hurt feelings. I think it actually sharpens your thinking by posting here because you need to really think about what you're going to say and have the cajones to back it up.

Perhaps the most difficult thing is to get new interesting blood to start posting. Most of the prolific posters came over from the GSMB and people are generally familiar with their posting styles. Sometimes new posters come in and get in trouble when they have a difficult time understanding the board dynamics and either get quickly offended and leave or don't have the wherewithal to stand up to the initial barrage and end up retreating back to lurking. My advice to anyone who has a take but is hesitant to post is to just say, "f**k it, it's only a message board and those knuckleheads need to be set straight and I ain't taken prisoners." You'll fit right in.
I got savaged by zambo and 2bag the first time I posted on the old board. I had no idea what I had done, but I stuck with it. Now those 2 are some of my fav posters. It's called initiation and everyone gets it, and appreciates it once its occurred. It makes you one of us. Those that can't handle it should go find a different place to hang out. This is a family and just like any family, we fight but we also have each others backs to the end. I love it here, don't change a thing. I only wish I could be more active this year but military efforts have my time spread thin.

There have been many times over the past decade where I have taken a swipe at a newbie, largely to see how they react. Those that react with a snappy comeback or a self-depreciating comment immediately earn my love and respect and become "one of us" pretty much at that moment.

Those that get hurt or offended you know will not last.
