I was an outsider once, and after spending an hour on the site I said, "Hey! I like this site!"
And after looking around for a few days, I recognized a few jerks. Some are still here.
The topic of this thread is Fox 5 News labeling us as a "hate site." It's legitimate to wonder if we have helped them to do it.
C'mon, lots of people are really wondering now...
Are you Lindsey Graham?
Hand-wringing, navel-gazing and feeling guilty about a few (mostly ZOTted) comments from trolls and jerks is time wasted. We have other, more important things to do than persevorate over people who have already been banned and comments that are removed.
This is an open forum. We are, for the most part, adults; and adults use strong lanugage sometimes. Anybody can register an account here, including trolls and jerks. It is up to us to hit abuse when somebody says something that violates the terms of use.
I asked you this before, but you neglected to answer...
How often have you hit the abuse button on the comments that you judge to be "deranged?"
No. I ignored your question the first time because it was trite and stupid. But since you're coming after my fist with your chin....
