Dark humor can seem more hateful than ironic in text. Plus sometimes we are just being assholes to very specific people. |

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. |

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.

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.

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'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? |
