Are we clumping together generalization and pointed insult?
What? Go read the posts by Trips, he made as many insults as anyone, tons of pejorative attacks, and yet he posts in this thread as though he's clean and the other side is guilty. Now he claims that before the rule changes he held his tongue and was attacked constantly. I can't comment to that, as I wasn't reading the forum before the rules changed for a while (oclub), and only a week or so after they did. I do know how Trips has posted since I began posting a few days ago - pejorative attacks, one after another. I haven't done so. Neither have others, on both sides.
Now you're defending his actions and hypocrisy by claiming what exactly? That his insults are "generalizations", while others on the right aren't? You can't be serious.
Can anyone tell me the date the rules changed?
And they were doing it even before the rule change while the rest of us bit our tongues the best we could to not reply in kind.
Now that the gloves are off, it's time for a reckoning.
Trips, please provide a link to an example to which you are referring to here, specifically "before" the rule change. I find it strange that you were being attacked and had to "bite your tongue", when political threads weren't allowed before approx the 15th of December. How/why exactly were you forced to bite your tongue and endure endless attacks while doing your best not to reply in kind? I sped read every post you've made since Sept, and see absolutely no evidence of this, not prior to the rule changes...maybe I missed something, which is why I'm asking.
Trolling is anything the moderator thinks it is.
On that we agree completely. It's always going to be very subjective, even to the most middle ground mod.
