Please vote and discuss.

It's kinda weird watching certain posters complain in this thread while the thread has basically ignored that right wing dc posters throw around (insert filtered word) accusations like candy at a parade.

Things would be more honest if all the issues where talked about.

I believe it was Cleveland Bronco that called him out and posted the exact link that he stole the whole damn thing from off Fark.

All because, for some reason, you cannot admit the shit posters on the right side.

Oh are you finally admitting that you were referring to Cosmos? Good for you. As for the other I've already addressed it. Learn to read.

I don't know if there is some sort of group negativity towards her that has popped up since then. But TJ has trolled this place since before I got here IIRC. No big surprise there.

BEP definitely gets jumped when she wanders out of D.C.

If she showed up in a food thread with no intent to argue that's one thing, but most of the time people are telling her to and go back to D.C.

It's a YOU problem Lone, not a liberal DC problem.

I'll pose the same exact thing to you. Find my lounge posts, say a few dozen, then glance at the replies.

Let me know what you find.

You guys are the ones who cannot overcome dc stuff outside dc right now.

But like you said, there's only two other posters on the forum that would get wrecked like he does/would....and they aint liberals.

Plenty of liberals do just fine in the lounge. Shit there's more libs in the lounge than there is in DC.

You'll never see me invest this much energy into another poster.

You dishonestly choped off my actual answer to your question. The very first sentence.

And now your throwing a temper tantrum because I called you out on it.

All because you cannot admit the shit posters on the right side.

Dont lecture others on reading when you cannot follow a conversation.

This is boring son.

I'm not debating that, lol. I'm sure that happens.

I've had 5 damn posts now explaining exactly what i mean.

I mean, you spend all that time in D.C acting like a teenage twat and you think that reputation isn't going to follow you?

You've put in quite a bit of work separating yourself even from your liberal counterparts, you should at least be aware that you take quite a bit more heat than your counterparts as well.

Quit acting like it's an "us" (as in, liberals) thing. There is no us. Ninerdoug doesn't get treated like you do.

The only posters around that are treated in a similar fashion are BEP and Taco. This should be an epiphany for you but im sure it's not resonating.

I suspect you can calculate what percentage of those 44 users posts are in DC vs. the lounge?

I'm guessing the first 18 is a massive number - probably near 90%. It probably drops a fair amount by the 40s, though.

And I feel like I should get more credit for character count, but whatev...

Its kinda funny much energy you'll invest here, right now, while ignoring other posts in dc. Want to to talk about how exploration and expansion on ways to decrease taxes? No? Figured.

And yeah, there have been posts in DC saying "and if they take away groomer, we'll just use another word!" ...and other vague ways to call someone a audio without directly calling them a audio.

It's exactly why DC should be nuked.

If you're going to ban people for "being a douchebag" it seems like people who choose to be moderators could somehow, someway, manage to enforce one of the few actual rules that exist. Actual enforcement of this rule would sweep up a lot of the more all-round toxic, useless posters, plus those who seem to be unnaturally obsessed with that topic.
