We all try and we all fail sometimes. Which is probably why we’ll always need a Mod Loop. :smack:
I read that as attacking people in the thread, too. I think it’s not just the high level of ire, but also the use of second person. The post is directed towards “you,” with “you” being “Bernie Brats.” And thus it comes off as directed toward the reader. Throw in that he is directly arguing with Bernie supporters in that thread, and it does come off as if he’s attacking them.
In other words, I’m arguing that “Fuck Trump” and “Fuck you, Trump” come off differently Both can be inappropriate and seem like personal attacks, but the latter has a stronger lean in that direction.
Did anyone else read that as the Audrey Meadows Party?
Exactly. I see no difference between that and Engineer Comp Geek’s Bill and Meadow Party example.
Which is one of the reasons why some folks say the Board p’s mods are biased. Should be the same standard, whether it’s slags against Bernie Bros or Trumpeters.
You didn’t bother quoting in full. The next sentence:
“In Politics, there’s a particular poster that can’t resist getting in a barb at Sanders and his supporters every chance he gets. It’s pretty nonstop. But that’s different from a straight-up “fuck off” to supporters.”
Am I correct in inferring that your claim is regarding Bernie haters not getting the break that Trump haters get? If so, it would help your case to link to examples.
