Meaning that the censorship imposed by nazi mob rule is going full blast at that site

Eh? How long since you've been there? And how long did you stay?

There's no censorship on that site, and never has been. There's a number next to the "in reply to" of your post that indicates how the mob (if you like) rated what you said. Both ends of certain ideological arguments rate each other down fiercely. It affects nothing at all but that little number (and that person's ability to rate other posts, but they pretty much cancel each other out).

The difference? When the ignorant, whey-faced moronorators on FR disapprove of a post, it disappears. Vanishes. Becomes a non-post. Sometimes a non-thread. Nobody gets to read it.

Honestly, if the LF system is a bit silly, the current FR way is just creepy.

Oh, I look in now and again.

Now, you would have to have quite thick skin to be posting contary to the jihad gang on LF, and would be an endless firefight. Plus, as I said, from the conversations on the site it's obvious that people disagreeing with that particular set aren't meant to be invited in. So the site does tend to suppress views that aren't pro-palestinian, for example.

Then you have the fact that the "cadre", the folks forming the initial backbone of the site, are types who would be at home on VanguardNews - the "vanguard language manual" with its rich set of anti-Jewish epithets like "kikes" and "hymie" isn't yet fully implemented but posters like Madrussian are getting there.

The problem with all that stuff is of course that the general tone of the site will attract more of that kind, and it will keep others away. Normal people usually don't want to invade a lair of frothing jihadists to argue with them. The converse is true, however - frothing jihadists will invade a normal site at first opportunity.
