Makes sense considering everyone who is pro-blackout is not on the site…

He spit out a conspiracy theory and I called him out on it. Jesus Christ.

I’m in a forum where I am dominated by opposing viewpoints. To say that I’m unwilling to engage is laughable.

And the linked example is a back-and-forth with disagreement. Everything was completely civil. Are you saying that disagreeing with the established hivemind-narrative is “refusing to engage”? Disagreement and debate should be encouraged as long as it’s civil. I really don’t understand the point that you’re trying to make here. And I absolutely loathe the Reddit-like behavior of digging through someone’s post history with the ill-intent to smear them.

But you have not addressed my main concern regarding the definition of words. Here’s a perfect example from your comment:

Hate speech in response to hate speech is perfectly acceptable - calling Nazis out is cool and correct.

I already see based on the comments here that anyone who votes for a Republican is going to being considered a Nazi and therefore used as justification for the rules to be applied unevenly against certain political affiliations.

Do you at least see and acknowledge my concern? Because this is going to turn into another dead and boring echochamber extremely quickly if these questions are not addressed head-on upfront.

You claim that this is a non-partisan space. Is it or is it not? Be upfront about what the rules are if you want real honest and well-intentioned engagement from a diverse group of opinions.
