Worldtraveler once upon a time quoting Allegra to Mocker DiPippo: "...a bit too real...."

The fringe of our anti-Uker forces here believe they have rewritten Free Republic's basic rules, thus allowing themselves unlimited rights to post insanely insulting, abusive nonsense while forbidding other FReepers from responding directly to them.

I'm thinking especially of Mocker DiPippo and Allegra, clearly in a class by themselves.

In any other context their posts would be deleted, and they would be long since zotted, but on Ukraine threads it seems it's just fine, they can post whatever abuse they want and then demand their victims don't respond directly to them.

So, I wonder if there might be generational issues here?
Was our younger generation never taught to use facts and logic to construct reasonable arguments that anyone might read and decide for themselves what they agree with?

Perhaps what they learned instead was to meme and cancel, meaning, why even attempt a rational argument when all you need do is post abusive memes and then cancel any direct responses?

"meme" a verb -- to create an internet meme from (an image, video, piece of text, etc.), example:
"on social media she was mocked and memed"

"Mocked and memed", is this how we debate issues in the brave new world of woke cancel-culture?

Apparently, at least as relates to aid for Ukraine.
