Donald…erm Trump?

Chewkw is the only poster I don’t read. It’s not a voluntary boycott, I involuntarily skip over his stuff like I do with those info-pubs in newspaper articles or pop-up windows I close the instant they appear without even knowing what they are. I find it irritating when people quote him and I realise what I’m reading.

May be fairer to moderate for the many rather than the few..

Indeed. I would have thought the sensible move would have been to invite the “combatants” to take it outside rather than close the whole thread.

I turned away in disdain a few times, but turned away in disgust when ninfan was accused of being a rape apologist. He might be many things, but not that.

Well if you read what he wrote then he either has a disturbing view on consent with regards to sexual assault or is willing to give that impression in order to keep up his troll.

Was it…

?

I read what he said very carefully and he may have a disturbing view- but that was it.

Agreed but a collective punishment rather than a ban for those involved would seem a more appropriate response

Again, not excusing the handbags that were thrown underarm in the thread, but a warning/temp ban just to nudge people back on track would have sufficed.

And yet the culprit is still posting

this is giving me deja vu!

And yet the culprit is still posting

And the “victim*” is not
Makes you think ™

* perhaps they thought he was the victim of extreme goading /trolling

Seemed pretty clear he was after a [emotional] response from someone – I declined

Truthfully i think he is capable of some well reasoned points, has excellent sources and an impressive knowledge base but too often he just posted anything to provoke “lefties” which came to mean anyone not pleased with Trump.

He literally said that if a woman lets you do something, they’ve consented. I don’t know if that was a troll, or if he actually thinks it’s right, but either way- urgh.

Indeed Scottie,

Sticks and stones don’t hurt STW bones but little words will alway hurt us 😉

A chat forum on which it’s impossible to discuss the two most visible leaders of the Anglo-Saxon world. The noisy aggressive pro-TM and DT minority has won. criticism of TM and DT is no longer possible here.

It wasn’t really going anywhere to be fair, but it was an entertaining and interesting thread.

You do realise it’s all lies made up by the media don’t you.
And the only reason my thread was closed is cos it’s the biggest thing ever …..
Signed
Donald

Well, if the best the anti-DT faction can come up with is threats of violence against other posters, why should they be given a platform?

It’s not impossible to discuss Theresa May either. It’s just that many of the threads were re-hashing the EU referendum thread.

How can Nifan be accused of being anything? His STW persona is to pick at others posts whilst never making a personal opinion/statement of what he/she believes.

Nifan must be pleased to have this happen. Likes to get a rise out of people.

And yet the culprit is still posting

Obviously the mod in question thought sticking a knife in the football, was better than sending the player off.

Likes to get a rise out of people.

He gets a rise out of me…..just not the sort he is expecting.

criticism of TM and DT is no longer possible here

considering they are letting the usual suspects discuss their decision its pretty unfair critique of STW/moderation.
I like the openness of the debate they allow on here and lets face it we do need moderation [ well some of us anyway …guilty face goes here]

and the olympic torch has been passed to our next hero

As I understand the system, folks only get banned or possibly deleted, If they receive a complaint. It could be that someone complained about the ‘victim’ but not the culprit

Literally, or literally literally?

Could they not just have built a wall around it and charged them?

Well, if the best the anti-DT faction can come up with is threats of violence against other posters…

I thought the best the anti-DT faction have come up with is pointing out the many ways in which The Donald is an utter dick.

Reports that the Trump thread have been closed are fake news

Oh. I may have missed that bit; I didn’t see it right up until the thread got deleted. Hmm. OK then…ignore me

Sigh.

Openness and moderation are difficult acts to balance..

The Hillary thread was worse.

He literally said that if a woman lets you do something, they’ve consented.

Was that a semantic argument? Because ‘let’ surely is consent, isn’t it?

Are you a moderator, Scotroutes?

I wondered why this TM thread and others got closed. When Cougar closes a thread because of duplication he says as much.

Did they have enough control to “let”, and therefore give consent to, you?
Letting you because you’re famous is all a bit Rolf Harris if you ask me, and that didn’t end well.

FFS I go out for 3 hours and something interesting happen.
( sad face) .

Are you a moderator, Scotroutes?

He’s been a mod for aaaaaaages.

Thought everyone knew?

If I have a knife to your throat and you “let” me rob you..not sure it would be much of a defence for me.

Because ‘let’ surely is consent, isn’t it?

No, to let something happen doesn’t necessarily confirm consent. A person that lets a rape or assault happen may well do so because they fear the potentially greater consequences of putting up a struggle. Or they may be hoping that the quickest way to end the ordeal is to comply.

Well this seems to be the jist of the argument against, but surely what you talk about then is being forced and that isn’t ‘let’

Why would someone be a mod by stealth? Why not put it in profile?

A lady escaped a serial killer because she was compliant and calm during the rape and repeatedly told him she wouldn’t tell anybody about what happened. It’s thought she is the only one of his many rape victims who lived.
