You are the only forum owner I'm aware of that tolerates being told to 'fuck off' 'suck my dick' 'you are an asshole' 'the site runs better when you aren't here' etc etc etc.
Every thread here degenerates to that eventually, at least the ones you happen to post on. As such, yep, the site is sliding downhill faster with each passing week. Combined with your allowing some to use it for personal attack threads, or racial bullshit...it comes down to a simple question: Why bother with LF? You don't give a shit how it looks. You don't give a shit how these kooks talk trash to YOU for God's sake. Which is why even that idiot Goldi gets more respect than you do in her kooky forum. Or JR at Free Republic, or mystery over at GBR.
You aren't promoting 'freedom of speech' by allowing this crap, Stone. You simply promote your site isn't to be taken seriously, because nobody here takes YOU seriously. I drop by every day, but honestly, there hasn't been anything here worth commenting on for the past couple of weeks.
Its your site, Stone. but the reason it hasn't grown is because you haven't 'grown' as a site owner/operator. This isn't about politics, or anything else, as much as it is kooks talking shit behind absurd screen names in ways they'd NEVER do in the real world. Basically, its a fantasyland for losers that have been banned from legitimate sites for the obvious reasons.
As for 'godwincing' posters come, posters go. The rep of the site is what you should be worrying about. Thats the only 'constant' you have any influence over. So far, this site is just as amaturishly run as it was when I signed up.
And thats the problem...unless you enjoy being humiliated, taunted, and insulted by people on the internet. Maybe you do. I honestly don't get it, but its your site. Like the song says, you can't always have what you want, but you get what you need, eh?
In Robin Sage, phase three of the Special Forces Qualification Course (SFQC), the student NCO has the responsibility to show an ability to create rapport with the foreign nationals they are tasked in their mission to teach things like insurgency and counterinsurgency. One has to do it even should one find the people odious or hard to take culturally or in other respect.
Thus, those playing the roles of the foreign nationals getting the military assistance are school how to task SF students in this regard.
We had a Mormon officer who was offered the village' honor drink' by the 'village elder.' It was drinkable, but disgusting and nasty. The officer sniffed it and said, "I can't drink this because this has alcohol in it and as a Mormon I....." at that point, the mock villager with the M60 machine gun (with blanks) started firing the SF students up who had to go into action in conducting a retrograde operation (retreat) until the cadre reset the scenario.
This officer was wrong and did not keep his eye on the primary reason for being there. His mission was to establish rapport and to teach, not lecture or be inhospitable.
There are people I meet all the time whom I don't like and likely never will like. But if they do good, i compliment or praise them for this.
It is what I was taught in my life in times like phase three in the SFQC, and I take the lesson to heart.
That is my point. badeye is not an evil or bad man. I disagree with him quite often and he irritates the snot out of me. But you know what, I still like the scoundrel.

So you support a guy who threatens this:
"Sure would suck to see your real name and address pop up, wouldn't it 'freddie'?
have a nice day"
And you like Stone, who posts the private phone numbers of people he wants to have harassed?
