See top of the page...
A. Will they be followed?
B. Will they be enforced?
C. Will some be speechless?
D. Will the moderators also adhere to them?

Going to the store for popcorn and sardines now.

Oh honestly --- might as well just tell us not to have characters - be dull and boring and ........... oh for heavens sake.

Take voice lessons. That way, you won't sing off-key in the choir they preach to.
Terrible --- just terrible.

I think that we are going to have to find a new home - they obviously don't want many of us here. I may not post much at the mo nor be one of those they dislike most but - I don't feel comfy here any more. You?

possibly kippered herring, the ones in cream with onions are great. The added benefit is the seagulls won't follow you as they don't like onions.

Why should it have to be a pleasant forum? Since when was politics pleasant?
Because if it's not a pleasant place to be, people will go elsewhere. And that isn't what SW48 wants.
Politics doesn't have to be divisive and ugly. It only gets that way if people want it to be that way. Sometimes, it's best to just agree to disagree.

And you have always been pleasant your self, have you? No you haven't - multiple times I have seen you, unprovoked, very unpleasantly attack other posters on a very personal level. But really neither you nor I are important in this saga - a large group of posters came from Slate bringing with them an especial and unique character - that has been attacked by their own, all mods were once them/us, from within, humiliated, demonized, quashed, regulated, silenced, penalised for being themselves and blaa blaa blaa --- I don't like watching it - that which you rejoice in I find disquieting and often quite horrible.

Why should long time posters lose any of their tools of expression because of one newbie? It just does not make sense. Is something a foot here? SW has said more than once that he doesn't care if we get new posters or not --- so why does he suddenly care? Has he taken you into his confidence Rose? Do you know why?

I read the rules thoroughly. And many if not most of them, it is easy to see, were inspired by the whining of Lefty. Lefty makes rules that it has no intention of abiding by. Any doxxing that was ever done on PJ was done by Lefty. Lefty sees any use of the ratings as abuse.

Our only hope is that the asterisk statement at the end of most of those rules that "moderator discretion" is used in all reports - will be seen and dealt with by fair-minded moderators.

So far that's not looking great.
I’m curious to see how some of these rather vague rules are applied. They are written in such a way that interpretation and enforcement are quite discretionary. For example, because I happen to be a Christian, I understand very clearly that homosexuality - the act of same gender sexual relations - is most certainly a sin. It is immoral, it is wrong in all cases, and it is wholly unacceptable.

Is the above considered slandering “groups of people”? Is it acceptable to adhere to and stand for their faith and express their value system openly? Or will folks be required to bake rhetorical wedding cakes in service to protected classes and groups?

We shall see. I do know that I sincerely like our mods (BD, Phil, Connie - if she’s still around??). Perhaps we just need to see how it all works in action. :)

That particular rule is subject to interpretation. If we have Leftist moderators in the mode of some Leftists these days, they could seriously curtail our free speech by using that rule.

The moderators we have now are usually fair and can be talked to if we feel something is unfair. That may not always be the case. Even so, we have already seen that the changing of words such as "liberal" into more pejorative versions is seen by our present mods as slander of protected people.

The ban on personal insult has now expanded to a ban on group insult. How long before we are not allowed to post anything negative about anything because it might offend someone?

We are on a slippery slope.

Please tell me when I have attacked other posters WITHOUT being provoked.
No, SW48 has not taken me into his confidence. He runs the forum the way he wants to run it. I agree with his new rules. Every forum seeks to attract new posters; that is what keeps it interesting. "Newbies" shouldn't be harassed and ran off just for the amusement of the old timers.

Leftists deserve not a syllable of the word “liberal”. Not any portion. Nothing with the root “lib” should be offered to these anti-freedom control freaks.
