Today we had the admins nuke a comment for calling someone a 'f@9'. Yes. Not targeted at a user, but at a verified retard on Twitter.
So just in case you wonder why we have the totalitarian wordfilter targeting words like 'nigger', 'tranny', 'faggot' and 'retard' - and now, apparently 'fag' and its permutations... this is the reason. We're dealing with absolute idiots.
I'm wondering how long until big tech companies themselves start doxxing people, to the great applause of their curated userbase. Thanks for putting up this site. Not that I really want to say nigger, but it's nice to know I can.
Why does that sound like something that's already happened?
I never did until I was told that I couldn't. I never failed to get out of someone's way until they demanded it ("social distancing" on a sidewalk in 20 mph winds). Some of us are compliant but contrarian and will follow rules - even stupid rules - until pushed.
I take no umbridge with recommendations. Once it becomes mandate, I will rebel for the sake of rebelling.
My ancestors came here because they didn't like being told what to do. Their blood flows within me. A request from a fellow citizen would be impolite to ignore, a directive from some commie will not be abided on principal.
