> [@Do\_Not\_Taunt](#): > > I do have a problem with it. To be clear, I believe the statement is basically true. And if it were in a single sentence of a post that defended the proposition of the GOP as a violent, white nationalist organization, it would be fine. But as the entirety of a post, it serves no purpose other than to rile up conservative posters and virtue-signal to everyone else that madmonk is on our side. I’m not sure that’s valuable in GD. Perhaps if we consistently modded that as trolling, GD would become a more debate-oriented forum. Or it would wither away with no content left. But I think it’s probably worth a try.

On this very site folks advocate violence because of choice of hat. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/inappropriate-moderator-post/924594)._
