Making it Better: The future of WP

Post Reply New Topic

I've done both, and things have also happened after I have posted that I haven't seen until they get reported. I only subscribe to a few threads, I don't want my email getting cluttered with thread notifications, especially not of threads I probably won't revisit as I don't have anything else to add to the topic.
Other mods have also alerted the mod team to threads they can't moderate.

Yes but if you say liberals rather than some liberals when making a nasty generalization that goes fine here. Like you probably cannot say conservatives are nazis as a general statement without it being problematic...but its fine to imply that liberals are all closet racists...because affirmative action is a policy that exists.

Or maybe I am bitter but sometimes does seem like generalizations of conservatives are taken more seriously than generalizations about liberals. I got in trouble for telling an individual poster I thought they were being ignorant but also I have participated in threads were countless mean generalizations are made of liberals and nothing happens at all. I guess in some peoples opinions they think any and all right wing view is being censored but I have the impression that conservatives and right wingers here get more of a pass to talk crap on liberals than liberals here get a pass to talk crap on right wingers. LIke I do sometimes feel like it almost needs to be said here that 'hey some of us autistic people lean more liberal than conservative, this site isn't meant as a right wing echo chamber.' Like particularly the politics and religion forum kinda feels heavily dominated by right wing stuff. And the admission that the mods are perfectly ok with actual neo nazis posting here was kind of disturbing...I mean even if a neo nazi doesn't actively violate rules the whole goal of neo nazis is to get more people into their cause so probably better if we don't allow neo nazis wishing to twist the minds of people who could be in a vulnerable place(many of us with autism have co-morbid mental health issues) to post here. There is no such think as an ok or decent neo nazi...like I am sorry for anyone that offends but its true. And I wouldn't even say they are all entirely irredeemable but wrong planet the place for autistics is not the right avenue to try and redeem them through. Like how am I as an autistic person with other issues supposed to feel comfortable posting here if we have people who think minorities and people with disabilities should be done away with or at least sent away. My opinion is wrong planet should not be a place that welcomes neo-nazis period but I guess the mods at least enough of them feel differently based on that post where they did admit that they allow neo-nazis and white supremacists to post here.

where was this stated?

we have conservatives, but I don't think any of them are neo nazis or supremacists. If such exist, they can probably post here provided they don't push their agenda or post racist stuff or anything else against the rules. In other words they should keep their poison to themselves. Some of the conservative members feel they aren't welcome here and that's not true. I espouse generally liberal values but believe people should have freedom of expression provided they keep withing the rule guidelines. Some posters of all political persuasions, tend to get worked up or emotional, which is a frequent spectrum response. If snapped at we want to snap back. I'm very emotional too, but try not to allow it to influence my posting on here.

Yeah, gonna have to join in on that one.

Same.

I wasn't going to post again

You may not see it as an insult but what you have said is libelous Alex ( I have a screen shot), you should make a public apology to Sly if you are indeed willing to make things better on WP.

I don't know what that means?

I would much rather have a bipolar member of the Mustelidae family around than a bigoted member of the Canidae family.

In context that doesn't sound racist.. He's posing one insult alongside what he believes is the equivalent to show how offended he feels

And with a member of the grumpy infraorder Gekkota family we could all be a happy dysfunctional family although I don't know anyone from the bigoted Canidae family , as to a bipolar Mustelidae it's been ruled out

Some people here actually use the word in everyday life , I seriously doubt XFE is racist. Context is everything.

How ironic that a thread meant to make things better and that has been initially slowly moving towards its goal has recently and so swiftly changed into one of the biggest fiascos this site has ever seen

My fault , I instigated it

No dude, it's wasn't you.

Asking and answering clear and direct questions in here and understanding where we stand is a necessity.

Yeah. Sounds entirely Like a huge misunderstanding exacerbated by political extremes and tensions seeping in n colouring our views and covid19 tension.. Using irony to prove a point ....
but somehow was taken as sonething totally different ..sigh
Bring ASD into the mix..


Believe me ive had such issues with my brother and mom or seen them do it to each other without at all seeing it.. Just cuz they have totally opposing belief systems
