Baron - imo your site was targeted and filled with garbage

[heisenbern]

From my point of view, neither Tony Stark, exGOPer, etc, post any more bias than the rest of the posters that clearly favor Trump/republicans.

This entire thread is amusing... considering the characters involved.

Now let's get back to my basic thoughts. The Politics forum is filled with posts from people with divergent perspectives. I hope it can be used for a polite discussion of political policy and events. I also ask that people be civil to one another. The recent trend of posting the same stuff over & over again as threads with either the same or slightly different titles does not add anything to the discussion but simply frustrates readers. As does starting dozens of new threads every day. Likewise continually posting the exact same article over & over again in threads is an abuse of the forum.

Let me recollect the points made by a moderator at one point in time in regards to the "not for faint of heart" P&R forum. The following would likely get you banned.
1) Continuously insulting and abusing another poster.
2) Threatening another poster or a public figure with physical harm.
3) Continuously posting the same thing over & over again to the point it is abusive.

That is my understanding of the rules that Baron and other moderators have put into place. They seem reasonable IMO. One of them can expand on this if necessary.

Point three is what is being violated over and over again. There can be no argument that one poster in particular posts the same shit over and over again under different thread titles. You want a Trump colluded with Russians thread? Fine, one will do. Just because there's a new story on the same issue does not require a whole new thread. I'd rather not put people on ignore because I like to hear the argument of the opposition, and I remain open to having my mind changed. That's not what this is about. It's about trying to dominate an entire forum until all those with a different view simply leave. Mission accomplished, they shut down all discussion. It is what the left does best.

heisenbern

yeah. I had to put him on ignore too, a few days ago. Too many posts. Too much time on his hands, but glad he at least was a trader.

I have heisenbern, Tony and exGoper on ignore. And its not that I disagree with them, Its that they are obnoxious in their posting.

Guys like FC, Hereformoney, Convertibility, and even Spike I disagree with, but at least they have their own opinion. heisenbern post video's...a bot could do that. exGopper and Tony are clearly paid shills.

I agree I just don't use ignore.

The kind of rabid devotion those two show doesn't come from being paid. They have convinced themselves they are "resisting" by their constant posts.

I suggest Baron change the name of the politics forum to heisenbern. Or set up another one limited to mindless nonsense.

Opinions very.I think his post are better and far more informative than yours.The ignore function solves your problem if you don't like his post

Correct induction.
