But Trump Russia Collusion was allowed to run wild forever. The Trump Pee Hooker stuff too. This clamp down is due to the new administration and plays well for Big Tech and the MSM. This is fucking weird. It doesn't seem like the site wants open discussion anymore. Also, that diary... it's real. ALL indications are that it's legit and the FBI is sitting on it like the laptop. Why would the FBI scramble to seize a diary that is fake?
Whippy, we're living in a (cyber)world where one of the biggest newspapers couldn't post about a huge story relevant to an upcoming major election on one of the biggest social media platforms until many months after the election. There is absolutely a double standard, across much of the Western internet sphere, about which people you're allowed to negatively speculate and say bad things about about and which ones you aren't. Sherdog isn't above that. I have my doubts a mod can do much about it, and he probably can't even really give a satisfying answer.
I think you and I know we're staring down the barrel of a huge problem in the Western world. Like, absolutely massive. As I look at how it manifests in the universities almost weekly, I'm frequently asking myself "What exactly can I do about it?" I actually quite like James Lindsay's answer:
OnlySubs: James, What Can I Do? - New Discourses
Mainly because, whether you agree with him or not, the guy is a guy who saw a huge problem and he tackled it head on and is actually making headway. If you think this is a problem you're looking at, don't quit - don't quit the forum, don't quit engaging where it's taking place in your real life. Stop and think - what can I do? I think you work in the government (nuclear power, right?). There are millions upon millions of people thinking "What can I do?" looking at the same set of problems. So, figure out what you can do, and get those other people in on it. This can be pushed against. It is already being pushed against. Everyone here threatening to quit the forum - grow up. This is a problem. It doesn't get solved by hissy-fits. We need everyone doing what they can, where they can, or this shit just keeps getting worse.
Edit: Hah, well, there is timing. James Lindsay just banned from twitter for this:

"Ok child sexualization specialist." Very little tolerance for insulting certain groups.
