There are thousands of randoms with access to GD. Nothing you say here is private if you don't cover your identity properly. If the lizard juice wanted to destroy the Codicks we would not be hidden from their sight. You guys are being dumb, dramatic and... acting like a bunch of scared children, really.

taxalot has my support, as long as he doesn't investigate my finances.

Librul idea of free speech is "Go someplace else to voice your inflammatory opinions, this is not the forum for that" while they have their own positioned in places of power at every social media platform. There's literally not many free forums left that aren't at the bottom of dark net, or dead quiet with only a handful of members.

The real question is, why would you do this?

What is your motivation in coming here and attacking this place when outside?

It's always safe to assume that peoples' motivations are purely selfish, and that most people are petty enough to try to curb speech that offends or scares them on a personal level, even if it means abusing their power, or using their power (weaponized sympathy for example) to make others silence such voices. Never forget that power corrupts.

I'd like to go on record as expressing my disgust in what taxalot did.

Now, I'm sure this is going to appear to be quite hypocritical of me to many of you, seeing as how I brought up a rather sensitive subject in regards to Jarl Frank's involvement in Realms Beyond (which is water under the bridge by now), but I will remind you all that I never did and never would go off-site with something like that.

I'm the one who (sincerely) moved the race thread in question from Politics to SCIENCE!! As unappealing as some may find that article to be, its scientific nature cannot be argued.

This in particular I find almost as egregious an insult as the act of taking his complaint to Twitter in the first place:

It is hilarious that some of you actually believe that what goes on in GD constitutes private conversation, under any sense of the term.

The level of arrogance is one thing, but the callous dismissal of what fragile sense of community RPG Codex manages to hang onto after so many years really bothers me. A pointless, romantic notion? Maybe.

Moderators can do what they want here. We're put into these positions for a reason and DU is very reluctant to reverse his decisions in these things. But I always thought there was an unspoken rule not to blatantly abuse what little power we're given, especially in an effort to cover our own tracks.

There should be some sort of consequence to breaking this rule, imo.

Or are you more interested in speech without consequences, which is an entirely different concept ?
It's like your whole concept of freedom of speech reverts to not being forced to wear a ball gag.

Btw, can someone send me that article that was mentioned?

It's not safe. It's easy and it allows you to feel confrontational and superior.

Usually, people's motivations are impulsive, reckless, lulzy, selfish, edgy, etc.
most people are petty enough to try to curb speech that offends or scares them on a personal level
Most people are petty enough to assume other people are curbing their speech because they're offended or afraid. Again, making them superior. The reality is, people often don't give a flying fuck about you.
Maybe even a written rule.
The snake wants you to censor your deed outside of this place. Wretched beast.

Lots of people have been saying for years that they fucking hate it here but keep coming back daily, so it's probably a self-sabotage attempt.
Yeah, well I wanted him to answer, rather than presume and put words in his mouth. But I don't disagree with you guys, and I'd even go further.

Not giving a flying fuck while at the same time speaking about you and condemning you? Yeah, no feelings there. Pure detachment. :roll:

Are you never relaxed while dumping your quality shit on others? Are you doing it because you're afraid, angry, irrational?

No, you're just responding. For whatever reason. Assuming you're doing it because of fear or because you're butthurt is childish. As in, stupid.

Interestingly, the article in question is not even racist. In fact, it is an *anti* racist article where the author tries painstakingly to point out that he is talking about models of human evolution and not pushing an agenda about races.

Leave it to the libruls like Taxie to jump to the conclusion by reading the headline *only* that Black people are related to chimps.

Taxie, you are the only racist here.

In fact, you only thought that the article was racist because it was the opinion of a Chinese man.

Shame on you. Go to hell, racist.

You seem upset. Is my detachment bothering you?

I don't think you guys are gonna be silenced by "big tech". Not sure what kind of fear-mongering kool-aid you guys are drinking in here. Just think how long site like 4chan have continued to exist. You'll have plenty of places to be as edgy as you want.

You may call it being edgy, but even plain honesty with no intention or trolling may be considered "problematic". People have no tolerance for hard facts anymore, now that they've been raised in a Disneyworld version of the first world.

Well I can at least agree with that last part considering who the last US prez was. I get where this fear is coming from, shit is weird right now.

In that case you shouldn't be surprised that people exercise their freedom to call you closer to a chimpanzee than an African if you're gonna use your freedom of speech to chimp out.
