Then there's no issue with influencers promoting their sponsors, their content is free too.HughFreakingDillon said:oh jeez. the article is on CBC's website. they are promoting it. people promote the content they make, it doesn't mean everything that's promoted is bullshit. my goodness0 -
so promoting a documentary you don't have to pay for is the same as promoting products/lifestyles that they know don't work for money. got it.Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer0

are you wanting to discuss your opinion on the article, or just be argumentative for the sake of it?Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer0

You're editorializing the latter.HughFreakingDillon said:so promoting a documentary you don't have to pay for is the same as promoting products/lifestyles that they know don't work for money. got it.0 -
so it's the latter. what I suspected.HughFreakingDillon said:are you wanting to discuss your opinion on the article, or just be argumentative for the sake of it?Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer0 -
I thought the article was interesting, because I've seen it myself online. If you want to argue the merits of the content, great. I don't see the point in just discrediting the writer's supposed motivations, which there is zero evidence of.Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer0

All I'm saying is he shouldn't be knocking on influencers for promoting in an article that is a promo piece.0

"A very old friend
came by today
'Cause he was telling everyone in town
Of the love that he'd just found.
And Marie's the name, of his latest flame
He talked and talked and I heard him say
That she had the longest, blackest hair
The prettiest green eyes anywhere
And Marie's the name of his latest flame."

Seriously. Get help. Congrats Linda, you didn't attack the "individual who posted" the article but you folks come into a liberal forum not to discuss policies to make our lives better but "opinions" that certain ideas are"stupid, by losers, by pussies that will never be desired by others."
You are 100% emulating the hate we all get from your leader. You don't get it. How bands like Pearl Jam believe we should treat one another.Exactly,.I've had enough. Either the trolls go, or I go, but not voluntarily. I'm over it with the trolling. The mods will have to decide this. And I have already sent them apologies for have to deal with all this bullshit. But it's time to put an end to this once and for all. They are trolls. They know it. We know it. The adults here want to have an adult conversation, not a food fight with adult children. Trolling is out of bounds here. Let's put and end to it and make this right. I'm willing to stake my membership on this one if that's what it takes. I will support Pearl Jam in other ways if I have to. Enough.
What's that, four or five of the usual contributors gone? Soon we will be down to a handful of posters.
This place is supposed to be free from hateful speech. There's a place for that. It's called reddit
The hate wins. The pacifits win. Welcome to the future of America.0 -

So What about my Apology???
I can’t wait to have my Thanksgiving meal at the kids table tomorrow, they are always a lot more fun and accepting to everyone. Adults really can SUCK.I'm sorry you have so much anger and hatred. I once stood up for you when everyone here was giving you shit. My effort meant nothing. In fact, I got no thanks, but instead, you've responded to me with anger an hatred. Not that I give a shit. I really don't. So I'll just put you on ignore and not read your venom. Since you think so lowly of me (again, not that I care), you might want to do the same for me- use the ignore button.Have a good thanksgiving with you kids, and farewell."It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0 -
Have the trump supporters upset about what's been written considered just using ignore?cincybearcat said:I suggest you all go read what has been written about Trump supporters over the years and maybe stop being hypocrites. In that I mean pretending one is ok while the others are reasons to tell mommy someone is being mean.It is certainly different if directed at a poster though. And for sure some clowns are here simply trying to piss people off…and being highly successful. Time for some to step away or use ignore0 -

They won’t deal with the trolls. Maybe because they’re paid members and have been told not to, or maybe because dealing with trolls is like playing whack-a-mole. This was the last bit of value I was getting out of my membership, so my auto-renew has been turned off.Lerxst1992 said:cincybearcat said:Jesus the people around here have lost their minds. The board gestapo never sleeps!
Use ignore, this ain’t your personal forum. Can we quit asking to speak with the manager around here?So here we are in year 9 and two successful elections for Mr Hate, normalizing hate speech.
If offensive comments get quoted, then the hate speech is nearly impossible to avoid. Plus members would need to be able to identify every potential offensive commenter and ignore them in advance, with 100% accuracy.
Or, we can have a forum operate within it's well known rules.
The forum has rules, and referring to opinions as those of stupid losers and pussies is clearly not within the rules. Nor is it, the type of forum the band wants promote. It should not matter that the specific attack was against a reporter. It's obvious the intended recepients are the readers of the forum.You're one of the most reasonable people on board here Ben, and this place would be much less than it is with your absence.I'm also considering letting my membership drop in March. This used to be a great place to discuss current events, but more and more, it's turned into a toxic wasteland. And to be honest, as much as I feel like it's failed, I believe I have failed it. I have tried to offer thoughts that are useful, but too many times lately, I have replied in ways that add to the degrading of the forum. I'm truly sorry I have not lived up to my potential here. I am sorry I have added to the pointless arguing rather than adding value to the discussion.I'm guilty of letting my emotions get in the way because I've become hugely depressed at having been born in a country filled with so much hope, but that has became a cesspool of greed and hatred.And as much as I feel that way, I can't even begin to imagine how people my parents age- the few that are still living- must feel. Imagine having been through World War II, fighting to defend democracy and freedom and have lived long enough to see democracy die and see the country about to be run by massively wealthy tyrannical fools. Imagine growing up in a nation that valued honor, education, hard work, and characteristics like courtesy and civility, only to see it become the norm for where people are openly bitter, spiteful, hateful, and rude. Imagine having helped to create national parks and wildlands and live to see them once again under attack. Imagine living though the last age where climate was stable and there were still places on earth that had clean air and water and had healthy oceans. All gone and dying now.Sometimes its all too much to even think about.

Does watching the documentary provide any answers as to what level of masculinity is acceptable and what that entails?"The world is full of idiots and I am but one of them."

Did you just stop reading? If they are complaining and constantly reporting threads to the mod and asking for threads to be closed…talk about false equivalency.Merkin Baller said:

It's ok to cry, don't drink every day and don't eat wings everyday?

Seek reality, all of you. It's not a "liberal forum." It's been overrun by radical leftists who spew more actual hate and name calling than any Conservatives do. Go get another thread locked Libs, lol. Make sure you call anyone who disagrees with you on something or doesn't vote the way you want a racist chauvinist homophobe Maga Troll. I've been driven away from the left because of Libs like the ones here. Good luck with future elections with that strategy. Worked well this time, huh?Lerxst1992 said:shecky said:

Come on man, that's a gross exaggeration. I've been following politics, environment, social issues, etc, since the mid sixties. Believe me, there are few if any "radical leftists" on these forums. That kind of hyperbole is probably why you get a lot of negative feedback from some of the people who post here.And let's face it, stating the obvious, most of people who post here are left leaning/ liberal. So is the band that this forum is bases around. You do know that, right?"It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0 -
