I’m a token communist! That’s cool.

This whole thing has been pathetic honestly. Just because this is the pit doesn’t mean we have to always devolve into hostility.

There were a few rational responses to this poster but mostly it was just vitriol. I get it, everyone is past their limit, but what was the point? Maybe there was no rational discussion to be had but if escalation is our only tool, nothing is accomplished.

My point, at least, was to attempt to strip away his blatantly false veneer of civility and good faith. He was a liar and hypocrite from the get-go, and the more he had to defend his statements the more he lied and accused us of what he himself was doing and the more evident it became, until all he had left was the usual “liberal tears/hivemind” bullshit.

At which point I stopped engaging.

Yeah, Im not pointing out anyone specifically, and I recognize that some of you responded at least at first in the spirit of genuine dialog.

I admire anyone that can remain un-emotional in discussion of such fiery politics. There is still a time and place to be angry and offended, and a time to walk away.

I live in Portland, and all residents are required to enlist when we move here. If you have any questions, please ask and I’ll consult the complimentary handbook I received when I arrived.

All this time I thought people were anti-pho and was wondering why they were protesting against soup.

I immediately thought of that line from **The Wizard of Oz** : _You have no power here! Now begone, before somebody drops a house on you, too._

I prefer a version (partial quote) from Labyrinth:

[“for my will is as strong as yours and my kingdom as great. You have no power over me!”](https://youtu.be/_MolWhOGhRc)

Though elements of both roles applies to @What_Exit’s response and responsibilities.

Countdown for when brand new poster “Gobb” (who’s very first post is to start a P&E thread defending Hegseth) burns out or is exposed as a trock…

It’s good stuff too. People are always telling me to line up for it. Everywhere I go they point at me and shout “Pho queue!”

The **Pedro** ban notice will be up in ATMB today, I’m waiting for some review by other mods before moving it there. But **Pedro** is Banned as of about 15 minutes ago.

Certainly a trock. Everyone has had their say, Gobb will come back with more polite propaganda, and people will not be able to resist trying to correct them.

The Pedro fireworks were in a thread that was just too long for me to bother with. Must have been something for a 20 year member to get banned so quickly.

Haha! I guess. It was basically a few weeks of, something, bad behavior? Being an asshole? and then a long-time poster is gone.

I suppose his behavior in that thread must have been pretty bad.
