Yup, it's insane what's going on and I'm not a 'Ma freedomz' kinda guy but it's crazy POOF ppl just dropping off, the heightened levels of sensitivity/(self)censorship. Not even a chance for a reasonable dialogue, just YOU'RE OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Worse than a power-tripping baseball ump lol.
Even worse when blatantly those who love the censoring go out of their way to publicly hail the punitive button mashers… just leaves a wicked bad taste in your mouth, although doing it in quiet deserves even less merit.

I'm actually very much in the dark about who's banned, what they were banned for, the histories of the posters concerned, etc. I just don't get why some ppl are very aggressive w their attitudes, it's either "their way or the highway, end of discussion!" and if anyone disagrees, that's it for them, they will get cancelled or worse. I guess online forums are more and more becoming like microcosms of what's happening in the real world. Personally, it's concerning stuff and it's scary that a big %age of ppl are not only fine w that but are actively encouraging this new reality.

Obviously the whole "cancel culture" is stemming from the internet; the reason some of us are unhappy with this specific corner of the internet is different.

It's also more so annoying some of us, because the reason people have been getting banned aren't things I personally wouldn't consider bad. Neither would a lot of people, I think. No one is being racist, sexist, etc. But poof and next thing we know they are kicked out.

As far as "getting recruited" goes, I don't really know where that is coming from. I guess that person meant like someone is trying to pull you into an opposing point of view?

These times reveal who drinks like an animal when approaching the riverside, and who cups the water in their hands.

That's kind of true for me but then I wouldn't have three awesome boys. Wouldn't change it.

I have proof. And I know it’s true. Seen it many times over with the honorable and often heroic people I served with in the Navy and Government Service…

SSpade & Littlebear are on involuntary sabbatical....
Stop! YOU are Littlebear. Your other pseudonym is on a "sabbatical" because you wore out your welcome and weren't well liked, so you started deleting traces of your existence here on BP and started up the vanguard13 nonsense in an attempt at a fresh start…….but most are on to you. There's no coincidence that at the same time you submit posts/responses in my cop thread here, "Littlebear" posts in my cop thread on E46Fanatics (…literally within minutes between the two posts). Your manner of speaking and the rhetoric you use is identical. Be an adult and stop playing.
