Lol, now that it's probably too late to swing the election, and that the Hunter Biden story has proven to contain no real bombshells, they change their rules to allow the story again.


You have to admire the brilliance of their evil... they censor the NY Post article link for a day or two... drawing more attention to the story. And then they don't change their policy to accommodate the whiners at the NY Post who could've just deleted the original tweet and posted it again... only to reverse that several days before the election.

Almost like Twitter's management has some sort of review process with changing policies and doesn't make spur of the moment decisions to accommodate right-wing mobs on their platform.

All in all, I think they've handled the aftermath of their initial policy mistake(censoring the article link) well.

That's not the comparison I'm working with.

Right-wingers always assume bad faith. I haven't reviewed the article he's speaking about, but there's plenty of reasons why someone might leave that sentence out of it.And they don't all mean "intentional partisan bias" or "intentional misinforming". Greenwald has been a denialist on the Russia story since the beginning, so he was wrong on several things. I'm not even sure if he accepts that Russian intelligence hacked the DNC... because he's claimed "there's no evidence" for years. He's a crank. He hates the Democratic party and moderate politics in general, and he's fallen in line with a niche group of weirdos who appeal to cultists from the anti-anti-Trump left.

And now we're moving to you questioning how many dead Americans we have because Trump and his cult propagandists since day 1 have not taken the virus seriously. They still pretend it's a hoax.

I don't have a number. It's almost certainly in the thousands. Probably in the tens of thousands, if you include the actions he didn't take, and the virus truthering that him and his cult have taken part in since day 1. And anyone who tries to minimize his behavior around masks and the virus generally at this point is pathetic. History will not look kindly on this death cult.

You people look at 225,000 Americans dead as some abstraction. That's why you feel more upset over an Intercept story.


No, there really isn't. One doesn't write a "fact-based" article from sources who openly state "I have no actual knowledge here" and then forget to leave that out. Either the editor is completely incompetent or it was an intentional omission. In either case, why should we trust The Intercept?

The only shit I report is frodo's "But muh Jeebus" thread in GC. NN that shit there, when the identical thread exists here in PaRD, where it belongs. The mods actually closed it a couple weeks ago, but he cried to them, so they reopened it. I've been reporting every single post in it since for "Wrong Forum". I even tried reporting my own, but that gives the whole "invalid post specified" thing.

Mods are functionally useless. Hell, even Goom's pics here weren't explicit that I could see, just happened to be non-explicit captures from a site that normally would be.


We really need a PaRD regular to become a mod. I'd love to see a PaRD campaign/election.

I disagree. I won't report for insults or language(well, unless it's Excellence's boring ass), but nothing's funnier than seeing Ghot get warned for posting explicit images. :thumbsup:


I think I've only used the report function once that I can remember, and it was for a certain user who won't be named who posted in giant green text 24/7.

I only report really obvious breaking of the rules. Like somebody who just non stop flames or spams, or posts something beyond the pale that breaks the rules and makes the site unpleasant to use.

I'll go out on a limb and say I would've been proud to report Goom for that post. Reporting someone for something silly and seeing them warned/suspended is good times. I'm immature I guess.

That said, I never report anyone for getting salty or trolling me. Outside of professional, boring trolls like excellence.

Meh, he went out of his way to censor it and it pertained to a specific political story. I think a warn and suspend was over the top.

I didn't mean that he deserved it, just that it would've been funny to be the person who caused it.
