Welcome back Jimmy kimmel

Stu,
respectfully,
I must disagree with you (and by extension, anyone else who perceives similarly)

Context is the key here in this instance...

              "From what I learned today, according to WSC,
               the reason conservatives get boxed so often,
               and not the other way around,
               is because we don't drop dimes."

As stated that comment is FALSE.
You said more than just "according to WSC".... adding "the reason conservatives get boxed so often..."

That's the problem right there.

WSC is on record multiple times - and almost exhaustively repeating over, and over, and over, and over, and over again - that THE REASON [more conservative members get boxed] is because one side [predominantly the party of "anger & grievance"] is indeed commiting MEMBER to MEMBER "fouls" way, way, waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more often than the other!

And that is a FACT! 

Yes, *BOTH* sides do commit fouls! No argument about that whatsoever!
But as I have mentioned before (3x) it's akin to a football game where the score is 49 - 10....We can honestly and accurately make the claim that "both sides are scoring!" That is a fact! But it is also a fact that one side is mounting far and away more pts than the other, even though BOTH sides are indeed scoring pts.
The folly perception is that since BOTH sides are scoring therefore it must be EVEN or close to it. That's a false narrative in football, just like it is on this forum.

Further, as a moderator, WSC is NOT limited to only investigating and taking action IF REPORTED. FALSE!!! A moderator perusing the board has discretion to do so on his own volition at any time. Indeed that should be part of any moderator's job. See a foul, blow the whistle! One shouldn't have to wait for a "challenge flag" to be tossed by one side.

  I recommend all persons on any side refrain from tossing MEMBER to MEMBER insults or "digs" - including blanket statements very specifically targeting a "group of members" on THIS forum only, as opposed to a much broader statement.

I appreciate this thoughtful objective dialog on an important subject in this forum that is worthy of continuous revisiting.

Yes, *BOTH* sides do commit fouls! No argument about that whatsoever!

Honestly this is the first I personally have seen a statement like this from anyone not viewed as middle - right.

Advancing the dialog, I think at times the frustration is that when these fouls do occur, I personally only seen one side boxed for it.

I do not believe it to be crying versus pointing out a perception and asking for remediation that often times is met with mocking hostility.

I elect to give you a wide berth in here as we see things different but have no issue in general with you and actively enjoy dialog in the mains.  So I appreciate the opportunity to converse in the middle ground.

 The was really not about you. Get over yourself. I paraphrased what you said. The words aren't a direct quote. The overall message is consistent. You are creating conflict where there was none. You are supposed to moderate yet you are involved with moreco flicts than you resolve. There hasn't been much personal beef between "sides" around this place. Everyone's beef on the right seems to be with you. Not Fubah. Not Kelly. No Deezy. Not my brother Mid. You are the common denominator. You are the problem. No amount of gaslighting will mask what anyone with time can simply read through old posts and see for themselves. You get on your high horse and act as if you are defending your good word. You are being dramatic and actually just creating conflict where there was none.

If Kelly wanted to address my post, that would have been valid. My wording made it seem as if I was calling him out. I wasn't. You, on the other hand, could've just not posted. And we wouldn't be having this exchange. It's all you. You are the problem. There are probably two people on this site that have a problem with me and two hundred that have a problem with you. Can we please stop acting like I am the problem.

@fubah2

 He's been falsely characterizing me for over a year. He assigned me a side and began harassing me. He would say things like, "Your side does this..." "You're gang does that..." It's all, "You...You...You..." I have asked him repeatedly, "Who exactly my side is?" My beliefs are as center as they get. I'm nationalistic more than anything. Further more, I am tight with pretty much everyone on either side. So I repeatedly have asked him to stop. He targets. He baits. He threatens. He accuses conservative posters of feigning victimhood when that is exactly what he does himself. And literally anyone canread back and see this. It is always a recipe for disaster when a moderator is as invested in the overall discourse as he. I have never seen a moderator, in any forum, on any site I have ever encountered, who is as active of a poster. He is literally involved in the majority of the conflicts.

With all due respect, I think you are seeing things through rose colored glasses based on the moderator and poster he once was. And the person is still comes out but honestly, the man is a menace. If every single conservative poster is saying the same thing, it has nothing to do with partisanship. After all, no one is complaining about the left leaning posters around here as much as they are complaining about him. I will leave it at that.

@StumpTownStu

 You addressed ME and the way decisions are made and you paraphrased in a lie saying things that were NEVER said and that are untrue. Do not lie about me or create a narrative when the exact opposite is what I actually said and will keep saying. Your right vs left narrative is a lie and is created because you see things in a partisan fashion, i do not see things nor do most of the members on the left. I see the rules, I see member to member, I see lying and exaggeration, digs, combative member to member replies and narratives. This is the issue not what political group you agree with.

Again and hopefully for the last time, please do not lie about me or any member, do not create a false narrative by inaccurately paraphrasing something to be funny or to make a point. I said NONE of what you suggested, that is why I asked you to actually restate what I DID say...and notice you did not, notice you did the "leave me alone" route rather than admitting you lied and took another dig at me and you should not have.

Members who make negative comments or lie or are combative to another member are going to have issues, THIS is the conclusion you fail to admit and refuse to acknowledge. I hope you stop breaking the rules and in this example lie about what I said to form an inaccurate smear narrative about me.

@StumpTownStu

 Don't even reply to him. You're giving him exactly what he wants in his lonely little world

FREEDOM of SPEECH is BACK on air

    despite efforts by Der Führer

The first new episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” since his [wrongful] suspension, averaged 6.3 million viewers via traditional television, more than three times the show’s typical TV viewership, ABC said Wednesday afternoon.

Wow....what do we have here

I thought there was going to be some comments about what Jimmy had to say on air when he came back, but this is some View shit right here....
