Well it is not going to work now, unless the mods are adverse to calling out these subversive tactics.

Are you saying people on this website are using "subversive tactics"?
Who are you talking about?

I wish we had that much power!

So ... if I call out certain foreign members for submitting subversive posts that attack America (which I take personally, being an American), is it alright with you and the other mods?

Give examples of these "subversive posts".

That seems okay. I can be touchy with attacking my nation, too.
Is pointing out issues of North American culture or politics an attack?

Who are you guys talking about?

So in other words, its all just bluster emotion and personal ideology that needs no justification in actual facts. Ok. Thank you also for sharing.

Not presenting a cogent argument does inspire the thought that there may not be a cogent argument.
Inevitable speculation. [shrug]

I think it was a subtle dig at Fnord

That would be more likely if it were subtle. Instead I'd argue the glorious irony of Brictoria's post is the way it absolutely, totally cannot be serious.

The art of concealment.

We are an autism forum. Full of literal thinkers.
Jokes, sarcasm, sometimes even idioms interpreted as insults are common pain here.
While I hope no one really had any ill intentions and Brictoria's post was just ironic sense of humor, I can't fail to notice that it can be easily interpreted as an insulting insinuation.
In a community full of literal thinkers - bad idea.

Fnord - I don't know.
Me - general rules and boundaries of acceptable behavior.

Please correct me if I heard wrong, but....
According to online media, both Buffalo-Head Hat Wearing Protestor and Armed, Zip-Tie Carrying Protestor live with their respective mothers?
Also according to online media, Zip-Tie Carrying Protestor’s mother was actually AT the RIOT, um, Subtle Demonstration, with him?
Anyone else heard/read this?

Yes, I have heard that many of the men who participated in the attempted coup were jobless basement-dwelling mama's boys, although I have yet to see any vetted confirmation.

Please keep us updated, if you can; all I’m getting on online news is inauguration news, Trump-Biden-Melania-Kamala news.
If most/all of these rioters/demonstrators are out on bail, I see nothing preventing more escapades.
