Yeah snitchy is a downlow Holocaust "revisionist." He won't admit it, but he's autistic enough that he can't help dropping hints now and then. Russler seems keen to "ask questions" about the Holocaust too. We'll see where that goes.

This is a big part of why I find both of them insufferable. They won't just say what they really think. You have to wade through a wall of shit to get to the core of their beliefs, and if you ever get there, you invariably find that it wasn't worth the journey. Thuriasz was a truly nasty failure of a human being, but at least he paraded that ugliness right out in the open. DS basically agrees with him on everything (he'd regularly name Thuriasz as his favorite poster and "like" everything he posted), but he has that added element of dishonesty.
 
Can I vote in this one?

You jerks wouldn't let me vote for PotWR.

I have actually stated my thoughts / beliefs quite clearly. If you understand a few things about me, my positions on so-called "edgy" topics will all make sense:
  • I value freedom of speech, freedom of thought, and robust public debate.
  • I despise censorship, political correctness, and group think.
It's really that simple. With very few exceptions (e.g., terror threats, child pornography, etc.), my positions are absolute. I am not one of those people who feels compelled to "disavow" people who offend others. If you are on the side of the people saying "You can't say that," I am most likely on the other side. Doesn't matter whether you're talking about the Holocaust, the Holodomor, Jesus Christ, Muhammad, or forum moderators.

And my "free speech" is used to point out that you come off like a holocaust denial flirt hiding behind free speech. So, now you're going to say the words "free speech" a few more times, I guess?

No. Way.

I was so drunk I made one of the worst comments ever.

It was so bad that when I got a yellow I actually PM'd the Mod and asked him to give me dubs. I actually asked for a harsher punishment.

I actually agree that, regarding Holocaust denial, people should be free to make idiots of themselves.

However, given that you fancy yourself a staunch conservative and ally yourself with the most reactionary, and frankly unprincipled, members of the right wing, how do you feel about conservative precedent with regard to free speech issues? Throughout American history it has been, as you know, liberals who have protected free speech and conservatives who attacked it. Conservatives politicians jailed, and then conservative jurists tried to maintain the jailing of, anti-war activists, socialists, union advocates, communists, and civil rights activists, in addition to (in my opinion) less serious persons like pornographers, adult entertainment providers, and sexual liberation activists. It was the liberal Warren Court that made great strides in making sure persons like Eugene Debs and Dalton Trumbo would not be systemically punished for their speech, but before, during, and after the Warren Court, conservative politicians and jurists have repeatedly tried to cut back on speech protections whenever it suits their reactionary sensibilities.

Even today, after the advancements made by liberals, conservative jurists pose a considerable threat to free speech, most evidenced by the despicable fucking holdings in Holder v. Humanitarian Law Project and Garcetti v. Ceballos (the latter of which I believe @Quipling, or it may have been @BKMMAFAN, described as the worst Supreme Court holding in decades).

Lastly, just as a brief aside, how the hell do you reconcile your love for "robust public debate" with you and your side's position on campaign finance. Do you think it is intellectually defensible to define robustness purely by the amount of speech that can be produced by monopolists of discourse to the detriment of other voices? Seems to me that a 100-decibel conversation between 5 people is less robust than a 50-decibel conversation between 50 people.

I understood you needed to go green for name changes so I did. I'm not aware of free name changes other than by special request, but that was before this new option.
 
My nom for post if the year is right there in my sig.
 
Best All Around Poster
  • @kpt018 - I like his style, he writes like he's having a conversation and he usually offers an interesting perspective.
  • HM: @PolishHeadlock , @Prokofievian , @luckyshot , @helltoupee
  • There are plenty more. I like posters who are smarter than me, but that doesn't narrow it down enough, so I had to include "and they don't make me feel bad about it" to come up with a manageable list.
Worst All Around Poster
  • Everyone entertains me, so it's either nobody, or a tie between everyone.

Best TS
Worst TS
  • @abiG
  • He seems like a bot, but the programmers skipped the QA phase of development and just went straight to production.
Best Thread
  • The Mueller thread
Drunkest poster
  • @AgonyandIrony
  • I want to say me, but he's more active than I am, a better overall poster, and he's the only guy who's posts actually, physically smell like Jameison and weed. I don't know how he does it. I bow to his mastery. Also because not picking @RockstarChris will drive him to do more shots.

Worst user name
  • Not sure.
Best user name
Rookie of the Year
Best Feud
  • I'm going with @Jack V Savage vs. @waiguoren , because that guy took a beatdown on the mid-terms and has slunk off ever since. DOMINANT. Probably neck deep in battle sluts right now.
Best Quote
  • Couldn't remember any. I'll try harder and come back.
Most Likely to Get Banned in 2019
  • Not sure.
Sketch or Sniper?
  • @sniper , because the art of great writing lies in thrift
