Then how come they had chats with people from all over the sherdog spectrum? They wanted to have conversations where things wouldn't get reported. Different threads started for different topics.

Did they? The popular vote in the last election was 48.5% to 46.4%. Clinton had the support of about 40% of the public (got votes from people who supported neither major candidate, too). What percentage of the hivemind group was Clinton supporters? Seems like they just had a few token moderate liberals who mostly shared the right-wing worldview like "even the liberal" @The Diplomat and @Gutter Chris, no?

I didn't keep a list. You'd have to ask the admins. @Kafir-kun was there, as he's already stated.

Right, but he's not threatening in that way. Mostly bought into right-wing smears during campaign season. If you can't name a single person who disagreed with them on the presidential election, doesn't that make my point?

Or let's put it another way: You posted your list of left-leaning posters you respected (including your opponent in this election). None of them were in the group, right? But a couple of lesser left-leaners were. Why is that?

I was only invited to one PM group, the biggest one I think. I wasn't a part of the extremist group it seems.

There was no extremist group.
There was a lot of discussion around perceived biased modding and preferential treatment to certain left wing posters. I'm not going into any more details because I don't know how freely the admins want this discussed.

For the record I have not been told not to say anything, so no one is trying to shut me up. I just don't want to go discussing contents of pms and airing sherdog dirty laundry.

Couldn't tell you. Ask pwent. Or put an open call out see if anyone wants to pipe up.

Yeah, that's not necessary. But I think the point is made that it was about establishing a safe space for right-wingers to avoid intelligent argument and that they resented the diversity of views seen in the WR.

The initial group was just a chat group with like minded individuals. The other threads were for discussion without Interference from people known to derail, troll, report or spam hotdogs

Needing a safe space from hot dogs? Thoroughly UnAmerican.

But it had pwent, kln, TheStruggle, Rhino, etc. People who were known to derail and troll at least. And someone was doing all the reporting of Homer. Dude was reported like 90 times. So that doesn't work as an explanation. What does work is that it was about having a discussion that was free from intelligent voices that disagreed. The WR is more about discussions between people who have big differences of opinion.

Again believe what ever you like. I'm just relating my experience. No one else seems to want to.

I think you mean hive minded individuals and you are sounding pretty far from moderate
