About USMB and it’s status as a “conservative(?) Board” etc.

[Seymour Flops]

I read recently (during a rather recent one week vacation) that some folks consider USMB to be both very poorly moderated AND a conservative board.

I have to say, I think they’re wrong.

I consider this board a particularly safe haven for liberal nonsense. Sure, it’s not like the insane Democrap Underground or the daily kos (whateverthefuck that might mean). Libs do get pushback here. Maybe that’s why they don’t like it and consider it a “conservative” board. They prefer group-think style orthodoxy. Silly libs.

And the moderation here ain’t too bad, despite my oft expressed concerns about certain stupid very very stupid rules like “Zone 1” protection for racist threads. Oh, and this penchant mods have for “cleaning up” threads.

I’m not going to use this forum to start a poll. Just wondering. Who actually believes that this Board is overly represented by conservatives? I see many. But I see oceans of liberals too.

I think is a little "unbalanced" if by balanced you mean that there are an equal number of cons and libs. There are more libs.

I think the moderation is excellent, because they don't try to run people that they disagree with off the board. In a vacuum, I wouldn't think that qualifies as excellent, but having been on many other boards, I know that such fairness is rare.

I have said before that we need more liberals, but I don't think many of them like to debate on a board on which the can't get cons kicked off for upsetting them.

Those that are here when they could be hiding on other boards on which they have a safe space are to be congratulated. Even the ones with which I strongly, and sometimes snarkily, disagree are liberals to whom I tip my hat for being here.

If you poll conservatives in this board, they'll pretend it's not a right-wing rag. They want to legitimize this rag as some sort of unbiased-moderator thing.
Polls about board ideology are useless.

The fact that a moron such as yourself can post here is proof that USMB allows free speech.

Bullshit offend a Trumper and see your posts removed

The other day a right-wing moderator messaged me warning me that a thread was "trolling", because I said something pro-transgender. They penalize people when they get triggered.

The bar is set so low that the litmus test is, "Are liberals allowed to type stuff before having their content sent to a lesser forum for oblivion"?

Oh, it definitely is a right-wing board and I think you're lying about what "conservatives" are saying about this board.

Shut up and have a cherry.

I beg to differ; They just don't censor the right-wingers like 90% of the other forums do.

I was considering "revisiting" one of the worst ones that push the leftist mantra just this morning.

From the top down they push it, and it's not even a "political" forum. It's supposed to be about something else.

With all due respect, that’s nonsense.

Liberals get free speech here; and nobody kicks them off for being libtarded.

Silly libs seem to believe it’s a “conservative rag” because conservatives also get free speech rights here.

I know. I know. It’s outrageous.

I read recently (during a rather recent one week vacation) that some folks consider USMB to be both very poorly moderated AND a conservative board.

The problem is that nobody has defined what it means to be conservative.

There are very few conservatives left in America. Very few.

In reality, most professed conservatives are as rabidly statist as their make believe counterparts.

This is seldom realized in a world where cable news entertainment hands out the talking points and everyone wades through mud puddles.

I also believe this to be a bullshit assertion. I'd guess around half of this place is all magaturd, all the time. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Nonsense. Before you make silly claims like that, you would benefit from a good deal of reading.

Try Mark Levin’s works. For example, in Liberty and Tyranny he spends a good deal of time (up front) defining the meaning of conservatism.

He has also done so many times in many ways including on his radio show:

Heh heh. Mark Levin. Didn't I just see him call people who didn't agree with all of the military spending "Putin lovers'' because they disagreed? My goodness. That's deep.

Get real. lolol.

Thats the problem.

You're reading the wrong books.

And you’re an asshole all of the time. A libtarded asshole, and yet you aren’t banned from spreading your libtardation here.

And nobody gives a fuck about your estimates about the composition of this Board’s membership — even if you were intelligent enough to clearly define your terms (which you’re not).

No no. I’m the one reading the worthwhile books. You just seek verification of your own silly misguided beliefs. I can’t help you out. Guys like you are just too stuck in your own shit.

Well. You clearly want to be led.

I was just trying to help you out.

Carry on, winger...

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

you aren’t banned from spreading your libtardation here.

And what would be the justification for the outright ban? Because you don't like me? Awww, petunia. I think it's time for bed.

And nobody gives a fuck about your estimates about the composition of this Board’s membership — even if you were intelligent enough to clearly define your terms (which you’re not).

I am. I've actually polled this forum before about it. So have many others. Do you know how to search, magaturd?
Nonetheless you are correct about one thing: I can certainly be one hell of an asshole. Like, I mean, you really have no idea.

The 'conservatives' on this board represent normal people.
