Getting rid of certain topics because they are done to death

a reply to: Quadrivium

Are an argument from ignorance. It is a form of denial and/or self-delusion.
Instead of waiting for someone to post the links for you, you could have at least tried to deny ignorance and educate yourself BEFORE making an argument from ignorance.
Instead, you make a fool of yourself.
Just from the way you post, I think I know who you are and honestly, ATS has been better without you

Did it happen to you? Does it happen?

I think you have it wrong. YOU made the assertion. YOU provide supporting evidence. Its not for me to find it for you. Looks like you might be struggling a bit there, though. It's fine, deeply held beliefs are usually like that.

Also I really really enjoy the name calling, its ironic on multiple levels. Seethe a little more about being asked to prove your assertion.

Im going to keep posting on ATS btw, just as I always have. Its mathematically impossible to divide by the number of care I have for how you feel about that. Feel free to scroll on past. Or not.

You clearly have not spent much time at Breitbart. That's too much even for me.

I also test out as center right libertarian. If I'm an "extreme radical", then I shudder to think how far left you actually are and still think you're moderate. That says something really bad about the state of mainstream press.

Im an occultist who has not voted in over 35 years . Im very neutral.
I hate the progressive militant feminists/lgbqt crowds as well the right wing MAGA Qanon people.
The last vote I casted was for Bill Clinton as a mistake That was the end of my politics.
I only watch local news & seldom watch tv.
I read , listen to music , sculpt , fish & hunt as well am very active in a Fraternal Order .

I am not one to not listen to the opinions of others but the spate of trans hysteria on this board and the negative dehumanizing attitudes and language used are a bit over the top.

It's like if someone has a different opinion or wants to engage in an actual discussion, they are gangbanged and driven off or reach the point where it is pointless to even calmly try to slow down what seems like the rage expressed by some.

With this supposedly kinder and gentler new phase of ATS, maybe we could just tone down the name calling and slurs so that more voices can actually be heard?

This topic is so embedded here, it manages to invade just about every other thread in one way or another as if trans people are the source of all the world's problems or something and some seem to be downright obsessed with the whole thing. It is hard to understand.

I find it so hypocritical that the right wing members here cry on & on about freedom or rights , yet they lose their minds when AB puts a trans person on a six pack ?
What about AB’s rights ?
Further more who cares what a company uses for advertising , because no one is FORCED to buy anything in America.

This is your problem.
This is the entire problem with ATS.
This is the entire problem in the USA.
Tribalism.
It's not left vs right.
It's mindless tool vs critical thinkers.
www.abovetopsecret.com...

Critical thinkers left this site years ago , because of the rise of right wing zealots.

Thank you for proving my point.
I understand, thinking beyond one's tribal boundaries is hard.....
It's all about the tribe, the team, after all.
They might kick you out if you think for yourself.....

No there isn't.

It is exactly the same thing.

It is impossible to have an intelligent conversation with someone incapable of accepting even the most basic and rudimentary facts of life.

Get well soon, Annee... I'm praying for you.

I am curious why disagreeing with you on 2nd Amendment issues makes people "militia types"?

I don't even own a gun, but I do fiercely believe I should have that right and without Big Brother hanging over my shoulder too.

I own guns as we’ll & support the 2A , but can’t stand AR15s & the loons who worship them . Give me a single stack CZ 75 & a bolt action rifle over those idiotic identity crisis charms people call AR15s .

Nope , not today.
Go play victim somewhere else.
You made an argument out of ignorance.
You assumed something didn't happen because you haven't had it happen to you. That is an argument from ignorance.
The very definition, actually.
I didn't call you a name. I described what you did and are still doing.

Then you take it even farther by pulling a "whataboutism" instead of answering a simple question.

If it weren't for transgender people and vaccines, this site would be dead. Long gone are the days of this being an open minded conspiracy community.

If that's what happens, so be it. We'll just turn it into a news site and slap google ads on it and be done with it. No one has any interest in investing their time, money or energy into a one-track community. However, once all that is cleared from the board and it's balanced, this place is going to thrive. I know it will. That's why I've invested so much time for free. The pay off will be when this community is thriving again. I don't invest my money or energy in things that are likely to fail.

ATS has been hijacked by right wing radicals & many militia types who have created a poison here on ATS .
Bring back Bigfoot & Wizards to the main page instead of the same crap day after day .
I purposely post hot button political issues just to draw out the militant right here on ATS .
ATS use to be eccentric & filled with colorful people, now it’s MAGA TRUMP land .
Nor do I want BIDEN land either .

I agree with you (aside from "bigfoot and wizards"). We need to change the frequency! We're trying to figure out what to do about the political stuff. There are some classy people who post there but others who just start fights. You know.. I wonder if I can turn replies off on certain forums? Hmmm.... that might be a happy medium.

I post political threads just to show how hypocritical & crazy this site has become.
I have zero political leanings
SKYFLOATING
I have no proof of this , but throughout the years DontTreadOnMe has been extremely one sided in favor towards right wing extremism. I use to get warned non stop for arguments , but post after post of right wing members calling for hanhings , lynchings , revolutions of violence etc would sail on through.
I could be wrong , but it sure seems that way .
Radicals on all sides destroy everything for common people. Thank you for trying & what a refreshing thread .

Both groups hold back reason in exchange for sectarian identity.

I am at a loss to understand why some people hold on so tightly to some beliefs even when those beliefs are proven to be wrong, they still cling tight. To me, that is a sickness.

No you are wrong.
I am conservative leaning and I can guarantee you, DTOM is, and always has been, fair.
I have had many post removed and even posting bans by them.
So what's the difference?
I can look at what I did and see I did wrong and was against site policy.
Some people think they are right, no matter what and have a victim hood mentality.
You seem to be a very toxic individual.
