A recently released Hamas hostage's revelation of sexual violence against her fellow captives throws water on progressives' downplaying of the atrocities.
At the time, we had a rule against bad faith arguments, and stereotyping a whole group as textbook bad faith arguing.
BUT!
We’ve new rules for you to dance around. Read them for the love of being a contrarian in a community that isn’t particularly welcome to your views, and…idk…tango away!
In 1897, you raped me in a tavern. It’s now a fact you were accused of rape. Do you see the problem with accusations, and why it’s innocent until proven guilty?
Also, if accusations were evidence by themselves, that’s all anecdotal evidence, so a double failure.
Also also, I don’t usually gripe about sources, it’s mostly just sea lioning, but Kill On Sight? Really?
That’s my issue. Allegations must have facts behind them. Otherwise it’s just smearing someone.
Allegations should be investigated and taken seriously. Joe was accused and the democrats swept it under the rug.
He’ll we’ve seen Biden touch people and their uncomfortable looks.
Tldr: Moderating is hard, and I accidentally gave myself a hard goal of not being a powertripping mod.
I made this community trying to prevent myself from becoming a powertripping mod. I wanted clear rules, warnings, short bans for good reasons, no bias, all that good stuff.
Then came borderline stuff, and I let it slide. Then came slowly escalating threads where it was unclear if I should ban both or one or none. Then came this and that, all of which hard to judge.
So I thought about things, rewrote rules, tried to explain myself, even got Peepin as a mod. (The rules have never really changed, I just suck at communicating them to the point I think everyone is confused).
All I really wanted a community with conservative posts that everyone could discuss, but my god is that simple concept hard to communicate properly.
You called all watchers of Fox News brain damaged, a mod said don’t characterize a whole group of people as such, and you said no.

Looking isn’t a conservative. Maybe should get a vibe of people before you start trash talking.
It cracks me up everyone someone talks about downvotes. Such a childish thing to be concerned with.

Lead is a serious problem!
Well, they are. That or sex offenders.

Notice how each one has a source? That’s called a fact. F A C T.
Which one are you? I bet I know.

I would say that I can’t believe you guys were downplaying sexual assault, yet here you are.
It’s all anecdotal when it’s accusations about their own.
You realize Bernie’s boy did that in the article ?
You realize I was pointing out how /u/Throwaway said basically the exact same thing?
The hypocrisy is astounding. When the enemy says it, it’s wrong. When a conservative says it, it’s fine.
Pick one.
I’ve always believe it should be validated. Otherwise it’s just a weapon.
To use fox news’ understanding:
Wintermute_oregon, quit downplaying sexual violence.
I’m not and you shouldn’t assume regular is honest without evidence.
Otherwise you’d supper Tara Reade and I suspect you don’t.
So are the accusations the GOP are throwing at Biden now for this so-called impeachment investigation anecdotal?
You generalized an entire group, not a single person.
So are the recent accusations being thrown at Biden for this so-called impeachment investigation anecdotal?
Too afraid to answer?
That’s my issue. Allegations must have facts behind them. Otherwise it’s just smearing someone. Allegations should be investigated and taken seriously. Joe was accused and the democrats swept it under the rug. He’ll we’ve seen Biden touch people and their uncomfortable looks.
Why are you guys so deathly afraid of just issuing bans lol. Nobody wants trolls like him here.
Arguably, most of the people here are lefties, which is why most everything is downvoted.

Since you violate your own rules frequently, I can see how you struggle.
