Social Justice Warriors are the new crazy kids on the block

[Rich and Wen 101]

Our nation is in serious trouble. Let's ban all social media before it's too late!!!

I am not understanding why a Calvin Klein ad that appeared on US Network television gets removed as a tos violation and yet racially charged and anti immigrant posts (directed at specific cultures) is venerated. We should probably just subscribe to the truth and rebrand the site Trumps Visa Journey. It will be huge.

TOS violation is in the eye of the beholder at the time. If there is a clear standard here I've yet to discern it. Whenever I get a warning I just shrug and come back later to be honest. One of the violations is writing something intended to upset somebody, but if somebody says something they believe in and are refuted, that's going to upset them. This is why most forums simply say no swearing and maybe no nasty, constant personal attacks. But otherwise, if you don't like somebody, add them to ignore list.There would be a great deal less crying and weeping here if people would just use the ignore list. It works.

There would be a lot less of both if people would learn to have a discussion without mass generalizations or insulting comments about the subject matter. Having a difference of opinion isn't the issue, it's when people deem it appropriate to disparage an entire group of people based on personal bias. Yet, it's funny that the ones who get their feelings hurt the most are the ones who start the flame wars in the first place.

But the ignore list makes things so much less fun

Totally agree, SJW's however, well that is what they do, just not happy when they are not offended.

And from what I've seen, it's not utilized properly. Folks put someone on ignore but still wants to talk about them. Defeats the point IMO.

Said the one who keeps going for personal attacks and actively seeking arguments and then gets all offended.

Quit playing.

No one is on my ignore list, I haven't reported anyone, and I make it a point NOT to make jokes or insulting comments against someone's spouse. Too bad you can't say the same thing Oriz.

How many other tag teams are there here?

Quite a few teams in here. I think it's broken down by political affiliation. The liberal loonies and the motley crew.

I was thinking of permanent tag teams, the others ones come and go.

The Plus 1 variety.

Not really. You've been here for a minute, so has Expatty, Oriz, Lib, and a few others. You typically plus one each other, just like those on this side of the fence plus one each other. You comment would only make sense if a person's reputation points were exclusively coming from one person or the majority of them were.
