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

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

The 'conservatives' on this board represent normal people.

Do you think of yourself more 'conservative', or more brainwashed magaturd? Because I've got your answer.

I'm normal. I do understand you don't seem to know what that is.

Different people do different things. It's not a difficult concept, magaturd.

Hey, you wrote this:
"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."
Apparently you don't tolerate 'different' people, you hypocritical asshole.

Waa waa in progress.

I didn't write that, you stupid fucking magaturd goofball.

Anything else?

You are correct, my bad. But, do you disagree with that?

GO FUCK YOURSELF.

 

[Leo123]

GO FUCK YOURSELF.

Geez, I told you I made a mistake. WTF? But, do you agree that if you poll conservatives on this board, they'll pretend it's not a right wing rag? Do you think the USMB is a 'right wing rag?" and, if so, WTF are you here in the first place?

You know what? It seems that you're only here to tear down this site. There are many here who have political disagreements but that doesn't mean they hate each other. Most Americans recognize that disagreements are part of our American heritage. We have a governmental system the allows for disagreement and compromise.

Actually, It's none of your fucking business why I'm here. Get used to that sort of retort, magaturd.

AWWW.....Did SOMEBODY get triggered?

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.

There are not more liberals here and as for free speech, somewhat questionable.

 

[IM2]

The 'conservatives' on this board represent normal people.

No, you really don't.

 

[BackAgain]

Well. You clearly want to be led.

I was just trying to help you out.

Carry on, winger...

Well, you clearly are misled. Carry on, hack.

 

[BackAgain]

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.

Retard: I didn’t say I would ban you. I merely noted that tha Board tolerates idiots like you despite your severe libtardation.

To grasp this, one need only go to a libtard cesspool like the Daily Kos. They instantly and permanently bam you for even acknowledging that you’re a conservative. You libtards detest opposing thought. And you loathe free speech for others.

I am. I've actually polled this forum before about it. So have many others. Do you know how to search, magaturd?

Why would anyone search for a poll initiated by a scumbag like you?

Nonetheless you are correct about one thing: I can certainly be one hell of an asshole. Like, I mean, you really have no idea.

It shows. You’re a compete asshole. And you’re worthless, too. So, GFY. You are a waste of oxygen and electrons.

 

[BackAgain]

No, you really don't.

Yeah. We really do. Assholes like you represent only the demented abnormal vermin.

 

[BackAgain]

I have to agree, there are basically no conservatives on this forum.

There are a lot of Trumpers, there are a lot of Repubs but damn few conservatives.

Thankfully, you don’t get to define what a conservative is and what a conservative isn’t. And that is fortuitous since it is abundantly clear that you don’t have clue one.

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've met few forums where mods aren't disliked for some reason or by one group or another as its hard to please everybody. Everyone knows they can do a much better job until they have to actually wear the shoes.

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.

Pretty spot on. Apparently the rule here is diversity of opinion and person (up to a point) rather than truth or facts because that makes for more conflict, disagreement and discussion, more readers, and so more revenue. And because lefty progs DO get push-back here is the reason they consider it hopelessly conservative. As you say, they are used to telling themselves that they own every discussion. Kinda hard to keep telling yourself you are better and smarter when you can't win every argument or always get your way.

They prefer group-think style orthodoxy.

Think of the Borg on Star Trek. One mind, one vision, one way, like ants. You fit in or you don't fit at all. The people who most harp on the need for diversity and inclusion turn out to be the most rigidly stolid and intolerant people of all! Just look what they did in Martha's Vineyard!

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.

Made all the worse by the fact that there is no such thing really as "racism," it is really just another invention of the liberal mind to justify criminalizing basic, and perfectly regular human nature that no one is free from nor has any real control over just because they don't like seeing it in themselves, and that can be proven logically. The problem with "Zone 1" is that by selectively choosing what things to "protect," you create far worse injustices elsewhere in what you DON'T protect than any petty injustices you overcome, but good luck getting management to understand or agree no matter how often they hear that from people. There are so many pedantic rules been written for this place that one of them is that they can't even define them all and you'll just find out when you get moderated.

Who actually believes that this Board is overly represented by conservatives?

Only as far as it is fairly representative of the true demographic. EVERY poll here always ends up about 66% to 75 or more percent conservative-leaning which is a great disparity from the story the MSM or libs here would have you believe, and they don't like that because it reveals how much true misrepresentation of the facts we are fed by their propaganda-media on a daily basis!

I do believe that racism is more real than just being being a liberal invention. I’ve read many posts here from (I’m guessing) white racists who denigrate black people in general. I certainly read posts from self professed black members who denigrate whites in general. They are racists.

Other than that, though, I agree with the majority of what you posted there. It may be that there are more conservatives here than there are liberals. But some liberal trolls insist on marginalizing anyone who supports Trump or the notions of MAGA as being something other than a “true” conservative. Thankfully, the real meaning of the term isn’t actually defined by their biases and ignorance.

I didn't mean to say racism wasn't "real," I meant that it is just a natural human characteristic as inescapable as hunger, and you can't scare, beat, train or force it out of people by criminalizing it because its origins are in the very instinctual characteristics which evolved over millions of years that allowed us to survive as a species. You can only try to suppress it which then forces it to reemerge elsewhere, and while some people seem more racist than others, that is only because the underlying drive behind it manifests differently in each of us, in different areas of out lives, but the root cause is the same, just that while some personalities utilize it in other areas of their lives, many others express it overtly in plainly visible racial-social intolerance we've all been trained to recognize. But fundamentally, a person can no better control their race feelings than they can control preferences in food, women, clothes, movies or cars. It's all the same. But that requires a lot more explaining than I'm willing to do here at 2AM.
