She also has hinted to being on the spectrum, leading me to cut her slack when she seems unable to appreciate nuance or genuinely empathize with someone whose problem she doesn’t understand.

I don’t recall a Zara post that I thought was being made in bad faith or was deliberately obtuse with the purpose of stirring shit up. She’s stubborn, yea, but I think she’s genuine. She doesn’t come anywhere close to anach or triceratops.
Also, I think the anach ban was the right call and voted yes for triceratops, but if the latter remains contained then I don’t really care.

It’s the combination of being ignorant and supremely confident in her takes that grinds my gears.

Sounds like most of who discuss politics or any subject for that matter.

I gotta be on the spectrum, but I’m still right and bright, just like lapka!
at least we aren’t El Salvador’s white-man-equivalent.
and there’s a lot of fashion in that attitude.

I don’t think Zara is capable of making a bad faith argument. She is very obviously on the spectrum and lolforeign and ESL so she just doesn’t get half the stuff that goes on here and/or in America. Could any of us engage in nuanced political/social commentary about a non-English country halfway across the world?

Should immediately run a constitutional convention to add the girl, foreign, ESL, prolly-on-the-spectrum qualifiers to that quality “trolling” definition so no mod gets confused and accidentally implements a 70% rule inappropriately.

Yea is discussing how autistic someone is because you don’t like their posts completely disgusting or is it just me?

This applies to 99% of posters in this forum.
It’s not just you. The criticism should be with the content/sincerity of the posts.

No, and that’s why I imagine steamrolling into threads with ridiculously ignorant takes and doubling down when an overwhelming number of posters point out said ignorance is annoying to a lot of people.
Oh and fat-shaming others isn’t very cool either.

Skipped like 300 posts so I’m sure this has all been covered but if you want the correct takes its
-
Auto muted containment threads/forum for obvious trolls like tricerotops/heritage etc
-
Leave it largely unmoderated and let dunks and counter dunks commence

Zarapochka probably disagrees with me about everything and thinks I’m a moron (or worse) but she rocks and hasn’t yet made a bad faith argument as far as I can tell, so if you want her banned it’s likely a you problem

Yeah the posters who dislike lapka dislike her because they have no clue what her perspective looks like. Context matters a lot when it comes to developing a taste for her posts. When she posts problematic stuff it’s to the best of my knowledge always from an honest/innocent place. So instead of getting pissed explain why it’s not great.
I think it’s a very good idea to encourage posters with interesting + unique viewpoints on the forum. Also a lot of the very far left posters on this forum need contact with someone directly affected by late stage 20th century communism.

I never said lapka should be banned. Not sure how I got lumped into this. If she’s going to say the white men have it rough I’m going to lol though so toughen up.

Late to the party but same here
Blocked him almost immediately. Wish everyone else did too.
Maybe we should have a rule that says nobody can ask for a ban unless they have had the offender on ignore for a while first.
Lol your suggestion to deal with the incarceration of Mexicans by government mandated ICE agents was to call the police. How would that have gone down in the Soviet Union if you witnessed similar oppression?
And you had the nerve to call Rexx stupid.

No. No it isn’t. And it’s insulting to people who struggle with mental illness to imply that they can’t get a good grip because they aren’t working hard enough at it.
Mental illness is stigmatized and poorly addressed in America. Most people who need treatment are unable to get it due to inaccessibility and high costs. Even in countries with universal healthcare, the providers are pretty bad at offering it. In the Czech Republic, mental health is only covered if you need to see a psychiatrist, not a psychologist.
Sorry for going off-topic but this shit drives me nuts.
