The Progressive Aristocracy

This isn't other boards Fred.....This is a community board, a board that SC had built into a valuable community asset, where she has promoted our community, invested both her money and expertise, tried to provide us with an open forum that doesn't discriminate, moderate, or ban posters. What will keep this board going, what will help it grow, prosper, and provide SC with both an income and a source of pride and accomplishment is if we continue to attract new posters and businesses that advertise to us.....the current posters and those who visit here.

Do you think threads that start out calling liberals retards will attract new posters? Do you think the constant demeaning of the few liberal posters here will convince others to join this board. I suspect that even some conservatives will find the atmosphere here if not toxic at least unfriendly. Sure this comes from both sides, but the majority is from the right simply because you outnumber us at least 5 to 1, and lately every thread seems to start with liberal baiting or bashing. I stay because I can handle it and often find it amusing, but I know, for a fact, that many others have read here for a bit and decided this was no place to be if you are left leaning. Which is sad, because these are good, intelligent, and interesting posters who would add a lot to this web community.

You do remember Vice Lord don't you? Particularly with the use of the word "retard"?

Yep, what's your point? Should we all use Vice Lord as our model for acceptable posting. I'm surprised that so many here use the behavior of one or two posters as an excuse for their own bad behavior. Surely you can find a better role model.

You mean like you?

No I don't mean like me....are you accusing me of something? Do you think I'm a liberal ******?

Yes, I am accusing you of bad behavior. Not that I am singling you out, there is plenty too go around.

This from the poster who has suddenly edited himself to be...What?, more politically correct, more sensitive? Sorry, you are what you are, edited or not.

My point is, I missed your concern for SC and her web site when VL used the term (among many others).
