Skimming this thread, it’s a real head scratcher why some of you were dumped by the other site.
Wasn't a matter of "dumped"--everyone
chose to leave as a group because of the hypocrisy of that board. Libs were allowed to insult at levels which was extreme. Some of them received slaps on the wrists from time to time, but the overwhelming trend was to allow the left to get away with virtual murder, while conservatives were not allowed to respond in kind. Virtually
any retort in similar fashion was met with bans, post deletions, permanent vacations, etc---and the difference between how the two were treated was glaring. We all were just sick of it--especially those of us who had been there for years and years.
Unless you were there--you really can't grasp how blatantly biased they became as compared to how it used to be. In the past, it as much more objective and fair to both sides. This site is the way it used to be there---about 10-15 years ago. Slowly kept getting worse, and the proverbial straw that broke that camel's back was the appointment of THE most arrogant, condescending, smug, A-hole of a prick liberal on the entire board as a mod several months ago--around the first of the year as I recall. The ultimate slap in the face & insult to the entire board when that dickhead was made mod. That single act turned the tide for many---and started the clock ticking that lead to the exodus. They could have appointed almost ANY other person as a mod, and that would have been received at least better....but they chose to make Jackass Extraordinaire a mod and that did it. Game over. The best mod over there who was generally objective and fair---is tilly, who visits in here. Overall he's a good guy and I've never had any issues with him.
They didn't run anyone off--their actions made the place intolerable. I, as well as most of us refugees---have no reason to even think of returning to that place....ever. While there were some good people there--on both sides--we all have found a much better place here by far. There were some liberals there I truly respected and enjoyed discussions with---but the ones who took over threads and lashed out with repeated insults knowing they were going to skate regardless what they said and knowing we would get deleted or banned...in other words, the big mouth POS lib leaders who arrogantly ran the threads---they can all kiss our collective arses.
