What happened to Kalin

I've once commented on some arabic video telling that it's ridiculous that young girls[like 10 year olds] wear burkas, since how they can be a sexual object? Some guy, just out of the blue replied to me calling me "dirty pedophile".

 

[Kruno]

not a chan board

lol I read that as "a clan board".

 

[fantadomat]

lol I can post "gas the kikes" and I have a Hitler cuddle pillow. In my country, doing both of these things gets you shot. Also DU go fuck yourself and Infinitron you're a cock-muncher. OHOH WHO TOLD THE POLICE. DU I NEED YOU TO DIE ON A HILL FOR ME. PROTECT ME PLZ. DU? DU???

Hmm and would you die on that hill if the guy never insulted or belittle you and was loyal to you yet was a right winger? Is it because of his ideology,him insulting you or because the legal implications?

precisely. do you not see, from this premise, why then bitching about "free speech" is retarded? Even if the local benevolent dictator is fine with X and Y, doesn't mean it's "free speech". It's "free speech within the limits the benevolent dictator allows". Which is not free speech.

Well, I didn't bitch about how DU handles free speech here. Like I said, he can do what he wants here.

But I think rpgcodex is one of the very few forums where free speech somewhat really exists. I mean you can basically write what you want here without getting banned.

I would argue that the limits are even wider than what is considered free speech in some western societies.

And that makes this board special.

And I think DU should get more credit for that.

On a technical level, if you consider free speech that is depending on the benevolence of a dictator no free speech at all you are certainly right.

But my specific issue was DU's standpoints regarding authority involvement and how he handles that.

There is no free speech in western countries anymore. Or actually anywhere besides this cursed place. Funny, right?

right, but i was referring more to stupid shit like what bester wrote "NO THIS IS A PUBLIC FORUM FREE REGISTRATION THEREFORE FREE SPEECH". Free speech as a concept cannot be tied to some internet forum, in the same way that if you come to my house and I ask you not to shit on the walls, and then you shit on the walls and I kick you out, you can't then complain about not being free to do what you want.

Sure, on the Codex you can write any retarded shit you want, within limits. Those limits are much laxer than your average internet forum. I agree, that's a good thing, generally speaking. As for everything, however, a little group of retards ruins it for those who would make a responsible use of it. That's when the rules get more strict. Crying about censorship or loss of free speech at that point either means one's a retard or in bad faith. Should have thought about wanting to play with your toy BEFORE you set fire to the toy, now it's on you that mommy won't buy you the same toy.

edit
as for the law/authority thing, heh, personally I would definitely throw under the bus any of these morons if it meant keeping the site working as intended and the retards away from the site and off my back

 

[dacencora]

You brought up politics in the most generic way possible but then complained about originality. This kind of thing is why you are a total idiot.

if you think evolution, vaccines and skin color are about politics, you should perhaps get off the internet

Oh my goodness.

Your snubbish dismissal of political standpoints that you disagree with does not make them apolitical.

if you think evolution, vaccines or skin color are political standpoints, you need to get a life and get off the internet.

Missing the point again. It's not even worth arguing with you.

 

[Scruffy]

you thought we were arguing? cute.

 

[dacencora]

you thought we were arguing? cute.

You should go back to Reddit.

Politics:

the activities associated with the governance of a country or other area, especially the debate or conflict among individuals or parties having or hoping to achieve power.

Arguments revolving around a federally mandated vaccine and whether or not such a thing should happen is political.

Arguments revolving around the banning or allowing of Critical Race Theory is political.

Sure, evolution is not political, more an argument between Science and Faith, but you know.

I'm sure this will be replied to with some smug remark about how much smarter you are than everyone around you. That's ok though lol.

 

[Rean]

SumDrunkGuy is more intellectually capable than Scruffy.

 

[Scruffy]

psst dude. it's not worth "arguing" with me, remember? follow up on your statements, will you?

The difference is that my youtube comment history is fairly benign, and some rando on youtube calling me a pedo is different to someone on a forum I have 10+ years of post history they can comb through.

 

[dacencora]

psst dude. it's not worth "arguing" with me, remember? follow up on your statements, will you?

It is not. I am done with you now.

 

[Scruffy]

finally

 

[Latro]

Random codex drama and scruffy decides to start whining about vaccines.

He needs to follow the script, man!

 

[Scruffy]

this from people who wrote about "missing the point".

 

[Latro]

DU: *posts interesting editorial on how much skin in the game the mods have*
Scruffy: *begins impotent mewing about vaccines for no apparent reason*

quit spamming the thread

What a profound analogy. How did your intellectual aspirations rise so far above your abilities?

 

[mediocrepoet]

Things I "learned" ITT:

1. Some of you guys are deeply, deeply crazy. Like for real.
2. Politics GD and the shoutbox are hives of scum and villainy.

Playing frame games is a midwit endeavour already, but spazzing out so badly that you end up claiming vaccines and race aren't political, that's some real 100 IQ shit right there.

 

[Alphons]

So in the extremely unlikely scenario that some Eurofag government gets butthurt about GD, you're going to bend over backwards without a valid local warrant? Or what does this that you wrote actually entail?

Except they're not. Vaccines have a long history of them simply working. The fact that you believe anything different is because you have drank the kool aid and think there's merit in stupid conspiratard memes. As for race, sure, I guess that if you embrace some debunked "race" theory, you can make it about politics, then again you can make anything about politics if you're dumb or in bad faith enough.

Bester was saying "you'll lose everyone's respect", where "everyone" of course meant, morons like himself and others on this site who think "free speech" is being able to spout any retarded shit and not having anyone call you out on it.

I pointed out how the "respect" of individuals who believe retarded shit is not really all that important.

That you and people like you felt personally attacked by that says more about you than me, really.
