Could I, at the cost of my ability to post here, ask that you two fucking idiots stay the fuck out of the elections forum? I’ll happily read here as a banned poster if you two morons would stay the fuck out of it. The two of you, Twickster and Johanthan Chase, came across as, tone deaf is too a kind a phrase, moronic in your moderations there

You both looked fucking stupid when it was over.

Elections is a bitchy forum. It’s likely second to the BBQ in that regard. Our dear Twixter couldn’t read tone in any forum let alone this one but no one expected better of her did they?

Frank and Mean Old Lady nailed it exactly and yet you fuckers are too scared or stupid to defend your positions, because they are the wrong positions.

So lock anything down that doesn’t cater to your point of view, seems to be the norm here these days.

You’ve become a bit pathetic, scared and stupid in the last few years and I’ve read this place since the AOL days.

Do whatever you feel like you have to do Mods but please, above all, when you again circle the wagons have a serious fucking talk about the moderation here, it’s become an orgy of fuckstastic stupidty.

Regards.

P.S. most of the anti-virus commercially available software on the market still lists this place as a malware infected cesspool.

Well, that was an extremely well-written, thoughtful, highly persuasive post.

Respectfully if you’re going to accuse others of being “idiots” and making “fucking stupid” posts, you might want to work on your own.
