Hey CNM : You are some phony creature . You constantly flame
on this section of TOTV and then you act super innocent up North . You are a typical phony Lib . All hot air and very two faced . You are vulgar , a name caller and a baiter . Classic Champion of the Clinton Crime International Cartel . Below Posted by CNM :
You make some excellent points.
When I first went there, I actually thought discussion of the issues, with legitimate links to bolster your position, was what the forum was supposed to be about.
I quickly learned however, that since my views do not mirror the majority...that's not the case.
Constant vulgar personal attacks and dogpiling...seems to be the modus operandi of the majority.
Of which, and I include myself, it is all to easy and tempting...to respond in kind.
Although on one level I understand the reason that everyone is labeled as 'guest' (it gets around the site rule of 'no personal attacks,' since no one is actually identified) and that there is no moderator button to report the extremely sexually vulgar, racist and misogynist posts, the anonymity also emboldens those who don't want folks/their friends upstairs...to know what they're really like.
Although showing user names would, IMHO, immediately bring a little civility to the forum, as a compromise it would really be nice if each guest were given a number so that when discourse is exchanged...a person knows to with whom their posts are being exchanged.
And it would also identify the worst offenders, so that a better handle on the real % of those types could be determined.
And while I have been very generic and haven't mentioned a single name in this post, it wouldn't surprise me a bit if what I stated above...quickly bled over into this thread and proved me correct.
Flame suit on.
