Like I said, leftists have to tell tales because they cannot formulate arguments.

I called him a “leftist shill”. This is grounds for banning?

There was no vulgarity involved. No relatives were included. “Shill” may not be complimentary, but it isn’t particularly inflammatory either.

Especially when it’s true.

@Nuclear Boy claimed that Bernie Sanders is a centrist. Bernie is an admitted socialist.

Kamala Harris was the one of the only senators to his left.



Sanders also caucuses with the Democratic Party, which is leftist (just as the Republican Party is rightist).

I state a fact that isn’t particularly insulting and I get banned. NB tells gigantic lies and that’s alright?

What about when Trump supporters here are all called crazy and uneducated?

People are getting sick and tired of this selective censorship. I’m getting tired of it. In only a few weeks, mods have hit me at least three times. It has always been unfair, but (to the mods’ credit) every action has been overturned. This time should be no different. I’ve already exercised extreme patience. Trump’s victory should be seen as a warning to unjustifiable oppression.

I only read your first sentence in this wall of text you have above before i see a contradiction.
you do not have to resort to name calling if you can formulate arguments.

pls refer to

Don't attack others. Personal attacks on others will not be tolerated. Challenge others' points of view and opinions, but do so respectfully and thoughtfully ... without insult and personal attack.

1. How to argue?

For Ad hominem and name-calling, its instant 6 points.
Persistent offenders will be banned.

2. Comment on content, not on the commentators.
Using someone's affiliations or a label as ad hominem means of dismissing or discrediting their views is strictly not allowed, whether in EDMW or CAL.

If you are using labels, then that is name calling,
It doesn't matter to say you are not directing label at anyone, obviously its directed at someone.
Do not weasel out by saying its not directed at anyone unless its explicitly stated at people of concern in the thread topic and not thread participants.

below is a non exhaustive list in **[IMPORTANT] EDMW Must-reads!**

other terms include woke, 乳滑, 1450, Little Pink, Clinton crazies, Trump derangement syndrome.
you can refer to this list below, they are however not exhaustive
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Political_pejoratives_for_people
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighting_words
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_slurs
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_religious_slurs

Based on the above, you should be getting 6 instead of 3 points, so thanks for the reminder.

explanation given in the thread you linked

you do not know how to discuss without getting personal and using labels.

This is a public forum, aka public space, if you want to make it into a echo chamber and propagate only your POV, you are welcome to use other platforms.

Anybody else sick of the repressive moderation here? Is this place “woke”?

Anybody else sick of the repressive moderation here? Is this place “woke”?

our forum, by rough estimates around 80% are trump supporters based on poll in one of the thread.
all of them have no problem voicing their opinion or with the moderation.

we moderators have no issue with whatever your pollical inclinations or opinions you have.
however we have a problem if you start insulting or labelling other members.

you can insist on thinking the moderators are woke simply because we do not allow you to insults other.
then fine, you are welcome to use other platforms.

but if one day, you can take the effort to read all the rules and stickies here and in EDMW and decide to follow them, you can PM me or Mod @Ottoke to let us know you understand the rules and we will let you participate.
