I hold the opposite view, maybe I'm in a minority of one or maybe I'm part of the silent majority, it's hard to ascertain in the current climate of heckling.

I don't take issue with the guidelines or see the need to pull them apart with hypotheticals, they're clearly taylored to the problems we're facing and other issues can be dealt with if and when they arise, which frankly seems very unlikely.

Lol I didn't know this is Ferris's expression :lol:

I think Californian air can make some people suffer from hyper-liberalism that is so extreme that it becomes toxic and intolerant of opposing views.

Cultural waves baby, sink, swim or sidestep

It's very complicated.

We can be our own lexicographers regarding the term "racist", so a MAGA hat might be racist imagery to one person, and not to another.

Truth. But since the people who do that tend to not only be liberals, but really vocal as well, it's seen that way. *shrugs*

I couldn't agree more my dear friend, though It's not laughable it's tragic. Politics and intolerance of opposing points of view will be the downfall of America. I can't distinguish between the far left and fascism anymore truth be told.

So, hypothetically, a member can call another member a racist 24/7 with no repercussions whatsoever with no substantial evidence? :lol:

I hope someone addresses this.

All of the above points may very well be the case but as we have already seen, having so little to bargain with you may get more than you bargain for.

Ferris is no role model , he has multiple permabans , you shouldn't even mention his name , he is too insultive to be a member.

"You have enemies? Why, it is the story of every man who has done a great deed or created a new idea. It is the cloud which thunders around everything that shines. Fame must have enemies, as light must have gnats. Do not bother yourself about it; disdain. Keep your mind serene as you keep your life clear."

-Victor Hugo, "Villemain"
