It's definitely a good argument for getting rid of DC completely, except we'd then basically need reddit-style moderation of politics everywhere else.

I've probably said things like that too but with a twinge of sarcasm like "Man, I can't wait until all you old white people are dead."

Inappropriate? Sure. Calling for the murder of specific people in that forum or of government officials? No way.

I see your example vile as well.

The kill whitey schtick isnt funny. Its played out as hell.

They should just change the name of the DC Lounge to "The Klan Rally" and be done with it.

Prove it.

What I mean?

My wife is non-white. My children look closer to white than Asian, yet my wife, on several occasions, has been asked how much earns as a nanny, all the way up to "Where do this child's parents live?" and more.

I've seen subtle racism and I've seen blatant racism, at times, directly in my face.

Can you say the same?

I guess that's an issue with making comments on a forum instead of in a normal setting.

My parents are older, white and conservative and I'd never wish death on them for their political leanings, nor anyone else in my family.

No u

Yes, we can all be strident and mean spirited sometimes.


Dark humor can seem more hateful than ironic in text.

Plus sometimes we are just being assholes to very specific people.

The biggest problem with making a comment of that nature in the DC forum is that people take a sarcastic comment like that seriously, because there are people in that forum actively calling for the murder and death of anyone that doesn't agree with their political beliefs.

That's the biggest issue, IMO and unfortunately, that bleeds over to the Lounge, because those same exact people see everything through a political lens.

It's not just a thing here.

There is a trend of accepting extrajudicial violence as a punishment for wrong think as a whole. The forum is reflective of the general political discourse.

Plus pop politics has forced politics into every crevice of pop culture, but I applaud any moderator effort to keep that divisive shit out of the lounge. If I want to play with the pigs, I'll get in the sty

Exactly this.

If you do this, you let your opinion of people you don't know in the first place be changed by reading heat of the moment posts over politically charged subjects, I'd be willing to say you need to take a hard look in the mirror. The problem isn't them, the problem is you being a mental midget and letting words on a screen dictate your feelings and looking for a "good" reason to get pissed off (not "you" per se, Mecca).

I've turned into a loudmouth in DC, I'll admit it. Not exactly proud of it, but I'll admit it. I've turned it into a place where I can vent my political frustrations on people that I know disagree with me and will fire back. It's kind of cathartic, I won't lie. I don't "hate" those I get into it with over there, and in fact, I'm kind of glad they get into it because it's likely better to do that there than get drunk in a bar and engage with some equally pissed random looking to blow off steam. I don't think RodeoPants is going around calling people ****s that disagree with him in the real world, nor is cosmo calling people assholes, nor is oaklandhater screaming at old people to die, nor is Clay threatening anyone's lives, nor is anyone openly mocking anyone else for having different opinions on the street. I'd rather have words thrown at me by someone else on this site that is as equally frustrated as I am and get it out of our systems than some other alternative.

I didn’t say anything about seeing or not seeing something. I’m talking about an abstract concept.

You gave examples of pure ignorance and racism, but that doesn't explain your comment suggesting that only people in the "majority" can be racist. I don't agree, people in the minority can't be racist.

Dumbass Lounge is still the Lounge, right?

It's all fun and games until the secret service gets involved.

I'm calling my lawyer.

Lotta truth here, I've certainly experienced it and many others have as well I'm sure... people suddenly stop interacting with you, or want to argue, even when you've had good relations prior

Just as in real life, I'm able to compartmentalize these things for the most part and focus on what we have in common when in the lounge... some simply refuse to, unfortunately

I have a disagree a bit here, Dude. While some people, such as yourself, may use the DC forum to blow off steam, many others post in that forum because that's exactly what they think and feel about others, regardless of whether or not it's in this forum on in "the real world".

I've seen people in there pile on someone for linking to CNN or CBS News and just get pulverized for even doing something so "vile" and "false". I don't see how anyone familiar with Hammock Parties could think, for even a second, that it's not something he believes because just as he did with Alex Smith, the dude just ****ing RAGES at anyone that doesn't share his beliefs.

And don't even get me started on people like GloryDayz or Shitsprayer because there's no way in the world that you can convince me that they're just using the DC to "blow off steam". They express their views in that forum because they believe in those views.

And JFC, Taco John? What a ****ing phony. The same dude that banned Chiefsplanet members for even talking about the Chiefs on his shitty forum is the biggest nut and most unhinged person to maybe ever post on the internet. Is he blowing off steam with his vapid conspiracy theories, including the claim that the fly that landed on Pence's head was a Visual Effect (VFX)? I mean, what the ****, man? The technology to render an effect like that, in Real Time, across multiple feeds, does not exist in any way, shape or form.

And therein, again, lies the problem: Too many of these people feel the same exact way outside of this forum as they do inside this forum, which ultimately leads to those same exact people politicizing everything.

Who is blowing off steam and who is serious? Because calling for the murder of an elected government official isn't funny, sarcastic or "blowing off steam".

And what happens if someone from that forum actually does attempt to murder an elected official? What happens then?

I remember when folks on here had balls. The testosterone levels are empty.

To be fair, we've already had someone fired from their job and arrested because of shit they said in DC. You don't have to worry much about DC being on the feds' radar. It definitely is.

Of course you don't, because you (falsely) believe that White people are under attack, which is so incredibly ludicrous that I all I can do is shake my head when I read that kind of epic nonsense.

But sure, I'm open-minded: I'm more than happy to hear about you, a White male, and your experience or experiences, as a victim of racism in the United States.

Seriously? I did not know that happened. I'm actually stunned.

When did that occur?

Take me for example, I'm a very nice person outside of the CP DC...

In case you didn't already know, Reerun has the IQ of a salamander.

The only thing you know about my family is that my daughters were underage when you were posting (or maybe fantasizing about) them doing porn. That creepy deal happened 6 or 7 years ago. They’re all grown up now so fantasize away.

God bless your kids and wife for the cross they must have to bear.

Yes, unfortunately, I know.

What the **** are you talking about? You're a liar and and unhinged psycho.

I have a FULL PAGE of Positive Reps from you, including multiples in 2013.

Are you looking to be banned?

Oh bullshit. They did other things in their life that caused that. Posting on CP had nothing to do with it. maybe used to validate or whatever but come on.
They got arrested or lost their jobs because of what they said on CP?
no way. Feds "radar"?

Here's the thing.

Whether you realize it or not, you're politicizing this very post.

Every name you listed sits on one side of the aisle.

There's plenty of cosmo's, Rodeo's, and Iguana's on the other side that do the same thing.

That's part of the problem. People only tend to point out the people they disagree with and either don't see, or don't want to see, when people they would otherwise agree with, do the same thing.

There's a small group of people, conservative AND liberal, that live in DC, rarely post in the Lounge, and absolutely do believe the sewer that spews from the end of their fingers on a daily basis.

LMAO Rick Moranis wants his jaw back.

Perhaps your just blind to the attacks that white people suffer these days. If you're not ignorant to what's happening these days (thanks Obama), feel free to justify it any way you want.

Now we can get into a long debate about what the definition of "racism" is. It's always fun.

Imagine if real life Dane was the same guy as Chiefsplanet Dane! LMAO

Sure, I didn't mention those people because they're in the EXTREME minority but yes, I fully agree, 100%

Yes. He was arrested and fired because of the post on ChiefsPlanet. He's a pilot and threatened to crash his plane carrying Elizabeth Warren a day before he was scheduled to fly her.

We were contacted by the FBI about it and required to preserve records of the posts.

I don’t fit in either of those categories.

I knew it!

You couldn't even give me ONE example of the racism you've personally experienced.

And then, as usual, you turn it around on someone else. That's called Deflection and if there's someone who's better at deflecting than you on CP, I'd love to see it.

This is a fair point.

Also, who is shitsprayer?

Well you haven't "CP Friend Requested" me, but you're the living embodiment of Neg rep that's funny to read because you're a unhinged nutcase.

I remember somebody telling me to be nice to you. I guess your fragility (not that your replies would suggest it) is known in certain circles.

You are a liar and hope you're banned for life.

Oh, we should throw a pity party for the most vile and repulsive asshole in all of DC, the same guy that can't keep his politics out of any conversation.

Poor GloryDayz.

There has to be a whiny little bitch on this site that reports shit way more than others....

Yeah things were a little exciting in the background around here for a couple of days. That's the kind of excitement we can all live without.

I may have given a negative rep or two at some point, but by and large I only give positive rep, even in cases where I’m critical. That said, I’m also good at not carrying grudges and I give credit where it’s due.

That post was a true story though. Given the way you rage so often, I’m not surprised that our encounter is lost in the noise as far as your memory is concerned. I mean, you were just accusing someone’s daughters of doing porn. It’s not one of your turn it up to 11 moments.

And I thought sheriffs and threats of lawsuits were bad. :eek:

Oh trust me, WAY.

Wait (this will be fun), I've had to perform at higher levels because of the color of my skin... Affirmative action "racism with a nice name) has made me be much better in order to "win the job".

But that's why I've chosen to identify as not-white now. Or are you saying that's not OK.

Please give me some lame-ass reply, I'm counting on you DaneMcCrazy...

:popcorn:

I love Donger and Niner Doug and do not agree with 98% of what they post. Kind of like my sister who is as liberal as those two. I did put OH on ignore FWIW. I post in both, think Covid is overblown, Appreciate Trump (needs to keep his mouth shut a bit more). My take is that 99% of the stuff in DC is good debate. I can live with the 1%. Its why DC was created in the first place. Kick the dudes out that take it too far and move on

What, no CP Friend Request? LMAO He, let's call a truce, I'll reach out to you with a CP Friend Request. :thumb:

This is where you claim you would never accept it. Or will you??? :hmmm:

Hold on, a CP Friend Request is coming your way, Amigo...
:popcorn:

Geezus, your cock teasing is driving me crazy!

I think the problem people are not being empathetic towards others. The board need to remember that the other poster they're engaging is a human being with feelings, and treat them as such, in most cases.

Another issue that I am seeing now these days are people is reading (or listening in real life) with the intent to reply, not reading (or listening) to understand. So when you're reading another poster's life situation, don't assume.

Instead, focus on truly listening to others – not to find a counter-argument or to prove who is right or wrong, not to immediately jump in and share your own story, or just to add your own words or twist the narrative – but to actually understand and go from there. Listening to understand is critical in effective communication, conflict resolution, and healthy relationships. Ask productive questions to get clarification.

Otherwise, if you're going to assume, it just makes you look like an ass.

I respectfully disagree.

I wouldn’t mind they stick around and take out the rest of the trash over there.

ReeRun is low hanging fruit compared to some of the others.

To be clear...........
Lost their Jobs and were arrested specifically because of what they said on CP?

No other "issues"?

There probably is a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place for that, but like I said before, there really isn't that many posts reported. With that said, we probably act on 25% of them at most. If it's blatant, we get after it right away. We had one post today where several people reported it, so I want in and took care of it.

Did you miss my explanation?

I stand corrected.
Did this coincide with you taking a holiday?

Yeah it was pretty bad. The post was bad and the fallout was worse.

Nah, this was last summer. We weren't allowed to talk about it for a while.

Well Yes
yes I did
I stand corrected.

Glad I was afeard to post in DC until 2 months ago........j/k

The answers you seek are a few posts up, grasshopper.

You are completely FULL OF SHIT. You've given me 50 Positive Reps, including 7 from 2013.

I just did a Search: DaneMcCloud Keyword: Porn.

There isn't even a SINGLE post in which I responded to you about Porn.

I authorize any mod to look at my account as proof that I did not ONCE say what you're accusing me of saying.

If I remember right, (this may not be what you're referencing to the DC situation), there was also another issue where someone went nuts and did real-life crossover that set off a big firestorm which created the Real-Life Crossover rule (it may have been established prior to that, but my memory is failing me at the moment)?

Correct

I think Skip called someone's employer back in the day. Can't remember the specifics. And I know stories of JDPrez, but that predates me.

LMAO

Bastard

LMAO

How the **** did they even find out about it? :eek:

Yeah, we're not going there.

Now I kind of feel bad about calling BS..................

Ok It has passed

this needs its own thread in RR

Couldn't tell you on that one. I think the most likely scenario is that someone reported him (not CP report). But we have no idea.

Yeah, that's crazy.

Someone in DC saw his post and called the feds I assume.

That one (Re: JDPrez) I thought maybe was it, but I just couldn't recall it. I'm not sure if that's even in the timeline when I joined, but it's probably is, since I joined in 2004 and the Planet was only 4 years old at the time.

Vaguely recall the Skip situation though.

Yeah, insanity.

Indeed, I missed them mushed between the dane, pat, and glorydaze pissing contest.

That... would do it.

Yeah, that I'd bet on too as well.

ROFL
You weren't the only one.

Holy. Shit.

I remember that post not so long ago, had NO idea it devolved into that

Well I mean, it's pretty easy math.
