    We have gone down that road before. I’m sorry I could not convince you. I hope you change your mind one day

    You made a claim that the n word wasn't racist or something strange like that.

    Dviss gave you an example of it clearly being racist.

    Sinobas was banned for repeatedly using the N word. He was warned very nicely but very clearly by myself and Denny that that behavior was not acceptable. He did it again and was warned again. He did it a 3rd time and his membership in the forum was revoked. It had nothing to do with politics. Nothing. I have no idea what his political views were.

    Bannings are not faked or manufactured.

    You have been banned from further discussions in this thread for personal insults.

    Because there is no convincing to be done. Your straw man for tagging me is because of those words that have nothing to do with the topic at hand. Sinobas was banned for being racist and continuing. Now I always had positive experiences with him but I remember seeing him doing that thinking yikes he’s gonna get banned. You tagged me because you think I’m racist and so do all the other little progressives on the forum. That’s fine. Think what you want. However you have no evidence of me being actually racist by definition, just your own title definitions which could be anything. So yeah for the rest of your days you can believe all these little words are offensive without even acknowledging context and intent and that’s fine. But if you’re gonna come at me with that bullshit, better have some evidence or else you just look dumb. I mean I try to stay neutral with people I dislike here. I have done it with hcp and gave dviss the benefit of the doubt but man do you guys love taking little jabs unprovoked. I don’t say shit and you guys still take these shots at me. Says more about your crowd here. The circle jerkers of the OT that just talk about trump. None of you talk about real world issues and have actual meaningful conversation. It’s all just an echo chamber of horse shit. Then when somebody pops in with a different opinion than you they are racist or right wing, shit maybe even alt right. I have been accused of being alt right by people, oh I’m defending nazis too and racists. All on this forum by the same group with no evidence. None. Just strawman arguements backed by nothing.

    As I have suggested to you a few times, make threads about topics you want to talk about. I do that. Some of them lead to discussions, some don't. It doesn't bother that they don't.

    I get that, but when I have made different threads or shit even when you do when it is scientific or whatever it immediately gets buried by all the trump related threads. So then I’m like well shit what’s the point? I would have to keep bumping it and that would be annoying.

    Exactly what I said. Way to take it and run with it. You're not the only person defending yourself here. And you're not the only person currently defending yourself on the OT forum. So, it really was a general statement. I had stopped reading the thread due to other posters. Make your digs at me, I won't return them, as I literally was not directing my comment at you.

    I’ll be honest, I dont know what being called a “progressive” means. You seem to be using it as a derogatory term. I always assumed progress was a good thing.
    Did you type “some people like me on here”? Shit everybody likes me on here but a few and I can damn sure guarantee NOBODY on here has mistaken ME for a racist.

    Not to mention I have tried posting podcast related things and despite the credentials of the guest people have openly dismissed it because it’s joe Rogans podcast. It’s frustrating. I really wish the OT was a place where people could have meaningful conversations and at rare times it has been but for the most part it’s the right and left going at it or a shit load of trump threads or people that just wanna accuse others constantly just because they have a different opinion. At this point I’m just waiting on preseason, the forum really shines when basketball is happening, other than that it’s the typical trump hating section which I don’t care, I’m not some fan of trump, hate him all you want but that’s all that is talked about. Ever.

    I've always wondered about this. How being a "progressive" could ever be viewed as a bad thing. It's incredible to me. If you're not a "progressive" then you're a "regressive?"

    I know what side I'm choosing

    Maybe folks who don't like progressives generally prefer to go back to the Jim Crow Era, rather than progress with the times....?

    Cippy91 says: Oh no. God damn some of you play these dumb little games and it’s too obvious.

    That was a direct response to my post (you quoted it). That's not a dig? You're not like that?

    Weird.

    You are so passive aggressive with me it’s insane. I don’t think being progressive is bad, but there are two different kinds of progressive. The current fantasy land progressive where all logic goes out the window and actual progress made logically and the shit that is morale and makes since. Something every decent human being could be like yeah that makes sense. You always have had an issue with me and I don’t get it. I have tried to be neutral with you but you are one of those guys who seem to love taking shots at me when you can. It’s actually pathetic. I don’t respect you or will I ever. I don’t care you work for the team. It doesn’t amuse me. I think you’re childish and quite honestly you have a high school mentality that has obviously carried over into your older years. I’m sick of you quite honestly. But here I will do the same thing as you.

    I know I have NEVER had a thread made about how much people dislike ME. However you have had that. Multiple times.

    Yeah it’s a dumb little game you’re playing. That’s not a dig that’s saying you’re playing these games. I don’t take digs at you personally and I have never cared to.

    I wasn't even directly talking to you, and even said I was guilty at times of doing the same thing. Yet, you accuse me of playing games with you? I guess then I'm playing games with myself, too?

    Gay people having their rights is progressive and the same with everybody else and letting them live their lives and do what the fuck they want that makes them happy regardless of gender or however they view themselves. Legalizing weed was a progressive step. Not progressive are the people here who claim it yet jump down others throats to call them racist or whatever the fuck without any evidence. Comparing words like retarded to the N word is silly and not progressive. That’s actually regressive.
