Members Sheilajeanne Posted June 17, 2022 Members Report Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) Edit: I have put a few people on 'ignore' but have found the same problem as Squilchuk. When they are posting about leather rather than politics, I would still like to read some of their posts. Edited June 17, 2022 by Sheilajeanne Quote
CFM chuck123wapati Posted June 17, 2022 CFM Report Posted June 17, 2022 I am curious why this isn't moved to off topic? It isn't a conversation about leather work. And may be pulling negativity into the regular forum. which all of us agree shouldn't happen right? this is an interesting story on what we are talking about right now.https://trendingpolitics.com/boom-glenn-greenwald-exposes-why-social-media-companies-are-so-intent-on-censorship-wiley/?utm_source=economics Quote Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms. “I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on. I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!
Members Sheilajeanne Posted June 17, 2022 Members Report Posted June 17, 2022 Agree with Chuck that this probably should go in another forum, either the Administration forum or the Feedback forum. Quote
Contributing Member Samalan Posted June 17, 2022 Contributing Member Report Posted June 17, 2022 sorry is this the complaint part of the forum dang got it wrong again Quote

E i agree, this used to be called human decency but social media has made it something to be monitored by someone. Why? Have we changed that much since this invention came about? I'll tell all you good honest folks a secret that you wont ever see on TV. Talking to people this way in a correctional facility may not only get you killed but it will get you either fired or put in solitary confinement depending on which side of the fence you are on. Why because we teach our criminals to be polite and professional !! TRUE FACT!! While we teach our children, by example, they can anything they want to anyone they want. Some world isn't it.

Members Sheilajeanne Posted June 17, 2022 Members Report Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) Agree with Chuck! (Gee, that's TWICE in a row now - will wonders never cease! ) In street gangs, dissing someone - even in a much less disrespectful way than has been done on certain threads in OT - WILL get you killed! Quote On 6/15/2022 at 9:38 PM, Doc Reaper said: I agree with you, these foreign Libtards know so much about our laws, I’ll bet because she is soooooo hagged out the dog doesn’t want to like the peanut butter from the nasty crevice it’s put in! Quote Another member replied: And that is a prime example of why Doc was one of the first I gave the 'Ignore' button to. Simply not worth wasting time on. Nice adult discourse, huh? That comment would have gotten Doc BANNED from a lot of the forums I've been on. It certainly would have been deleted. Edited June 17, 2022 by Sheilajeanne Quote
Members Squid61 Posted June 17, 2022 Members Report Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) When I grew up in the 50's there was a commonly used slang term, some very derogetory, for every religion, race, gender and national origin. Since commuication was mostly face to face they were used with a smile and as a rule not maliciously. Now that true identities can be easily hidden and much interaction is virtual it seems anything goes. Edited June 17, 2022 by Squid61 Quote
Members Sheilajeanne Posted June 17, 2022 Members Report Posted June 17, 2022 Squid, the 50's was a LOOONG time ago, and as I'm sure you know, a lot of stuff that was okay then isn't okay now. And I believe we're better off for it! Derogatory racist and sexist remarks are (or should be) a thing of the past. (Not that I'm seeing those in OT. It's more things like Libertard, DemoRat, etc.) And they sure aren't saying them with a smile! Quote
