Happy new Year! Finally coming to the end of 2020. ^_^
A bit of a minor announcement here, but an important one if you like discussions here. I have been a free speech advocate for a long time, and of course still am as a free market of ideas are the strongest defense against producing a new Hitler. A less extreme example is that it also promotes a diversity of ideas that has proven to be one of the greatest Strengths humanity has ever produced. So many people attack it and traditionally I permit them to speak their minds no matter how wild, Irrational, and insulting they get during the process.
See, it's a good thing to allow bad ideas to be spoken and posted because it opens up those ideas to scrutiny and bad ideas don't stand up to that. (thus why people wanting to censor are almost invariably wrong.) Some have asked how my skin could be so thick that I tolerate such pure and unbridled hate over such long periods of time while genuinely not caring. *shrugs*
A new thing that happens a lot on the left these days is whenever one of them begins to open up a genuine discussion, a "dialogue" with someone of opposing views, they must be stopped. So one of the zealots from the left will go and silence their member whom has crossed the line of actually asking a genuine question. Fill their head with lies and remind them that those not of their ilk are Monsters. Cultish behavior is harmful to people and that I cannot tolerate.
Historically in the couple of decades I have been in the furry world, I have blocked less than 10 people from the forums, and journals I have posted and of those people, almost all have been unblocked at some point. I'm big on forgiveness. But pure hate and preventing discussions between two people from opposing sides, OR if you have blocked me and yet continue posting on my journals, you were will be blocked and your posts removed from now on.
I promote discussions and debate, you are promoting censorship and actively causing harm.
Now understand, emotions can run high at times and people can get more rude than they otherwise would normally be. That's fine. Happens when you are passionate about something. However, actual lies, deceit, and pure hatred won't be tolerated.
Your Cult behavior is no longer welcome here. Your Cult followers are always welcome here.
You wanted lines drawn, I am now forced to draw one here. Congratulations on your victory.
*smirks* cute link. Since I care about what's true, I obviously knew all that lol but it is worth mentioning that George Floyd actually requested to be put on the ground when they were putting him into the police vehicle. People tend to not be aware of that one either.
This link didn't cover the Breonna Taylor case either, which is another gold mine if you look into it. As usual, everything the major news media narrative says isn't true on that case either. For example, Breonna was accused of shooting the cops by her b/f (before the DNA came out and showed he was the gunman, thus he changed his story) is wildly unknown to people. lol.
It is worth mentioning since between the Floyd narrative and the Taylor narrative, it really fueled the "Peaceful Protests" and all the people murdered by it.
