Uh, no. But i still don’t see why she’s relevant to a thread about right-wing beer, especially if you don’t think she’s an example of a right winger.
Pretty much everyone knows that and knows it is a favorite talking point of people trying to drive conversations in a certain way. It is amazingly similar to a play from the trolling handbook in fact.
She wasn’t relevant to that thread.
She’s like Adele but for young adult fiction instead of pop music.

No one on this board could possibly NOT know that, since there was an immensely long ongoing thread that became so annoying I finally muted the thread so I never had to see it again.
So I see this poster “joined” after the transition to Discourse and under his old profile has 9 prior warnings. This has also been bumped up to the Modloop.
Nope! Really pleased by the progress the last couple of years. Especially with the moderation lately! Really even-handed, much more transparent, snazzy avatars, what’s not to like?
We’ve lost some posters along the way but, weirdly, I don’t miss them at all. I’m sure they’re much happier wherever they are now - probably posting their bilious drek in a nice forum upstate.
The youtube video bugaboo is not to like.
(Although, in retrospect, the Old Place didn’t allow in-post videos, so I guess I’m just older and grumpier.)
You’re the only one that thinks she’s relevant to a discussion of right wing anti-trans beer.
As long as we never lose the most important feature of any message board . . . endless scrolling!
Wait, what? I literally just posted a video in another thread. Is that not allowed?
If I get a warning I take back everything nice I ever said about the mods.
I knew nothing about Rowlings stance on trans until today, and quite frankly I’m still not sure what it is. The fact that I don’t give a damn about Harry Potter or Rowling must be part of the reason. I’m sure the thread you mentioned was viewed by many posters, but not all of them.
It got difficult for some reason. It’s either that, or I’m stupid. So I’m going with it got difficult.
I think you just have to make sure the link is on its own line.
There is a thread for this under Site Feedback.
I’ll link it in a minute. I haven’t followed it though.
I think the answer is somewhere near here.
But please, the video issue doesn’t belong in this thread either.

Thanks, I’ll look at it.
In response to a comment about budweiser that was obviously referring to the Dylan Mulvaney kerfuffle, I say that it seems like an odd reaction because Dylan Mulvaney is not a minor and none of the folks that drink beer are minors either.
So in response to my comment, someone implied that having issues with trans was a conservative thing.
In response to that comment I pointed out that a lot of folks that noone could reasonably call conservative also have differeing opinions on trans issues. I gave rowlings as an example but I could just as easily have pointed to several other bona fide liberals. I didn’t harp on her.
And the conversation evolved from there. I don’t see how this is a hijack but YMMV.
Because she is an example of someone who is NOT on the right and does not support the idea that “transwomen are women”
AM I going crazy or isn’t that thread a direct reference to the Dylan Mulvaney kerfuffle?
But of course she was. At least in the way i introduce her to the thread. She was a contra example.
If talked about how much the left hated the country and its democratic ideals and you brought up Trump and the January 6th insurrection, could I honestly say you were trying to derail the conversation by bringing up trump? C’mon now.
I don’t know that you are supposed to be advertising stuff about my account but I have been around the iraq invasion. I think there was some sort of issue during the transfer.
Also I can’t find 9 warnings.
In fact I don’t see any on discourse.
I guess YMMV.
I guess some people liked the fact that people with differing views debated things here and others just wanted an echo chamber.
