Why do you allow pro Iranian poster to dominate most political threads?

[Anonymous]

It’s a weird and deranged poster who just seems to work for some IRGC organization or is just a total lunatic.
I asked before but somehow that thread was taken down here.
Nobody wants the war, well I think, nobody wants the war, but at this rate your website is Iranian propaganda.

I have removed many posts that were inappropriately placed in threads unrelated to the topic of the posts. However, when the poster is on topic and not using offensive language, I have no reason to remove the posts. I am especially unlikely to be persuaded by claims that a poster is working "for some IRGC organization" or is posting "Iranian propaganda". Such allegations tend to be nothing more than attempts to suppress alternative points of view.

Ok, sure. But in the past, you did not allow alternative views on the Russian invasion of Ukraine or even on pro Trump views. Why the change?

I am not sure how you can say this given there are tons of anti-Ukraine posts.

You also deleted my post agreeing with the poster who I think is the OP of this thread. You allow the most grotesque assessments of Israel, using all kinds of hateful language, and seem completely unbothered by it. You know the particular poster in question who is behind most of it, yet you let her foam at the mouth in her rabid attacks on Israel and - let's face it - Jews in general. There's no way around the fact that she absolutely hates Jews. And by allowing her to post that garbage, it seems you agree with her.

I posted that Israel definitely has much to answer for, that I'm no Zionist, and I'm also not Jewish, but the one-sidedness of the political forum is blatantly obvious. You deleted that post. Anytime someone points out Iran's atrocities, they're met with derision and sneers, and accused of "whataboutism." Ridiculous. The Islamic Republic of Iran and its proxies are terrorists, period. We should be allowed to state the obvious.

So you'd be ok with someone ranting about "Islamic pigs"? In not just one, but every post?

Seriously?! The poster who refers to Jews as "bucktoothed, knuckle dragging, mouth breathers" for one... and lots of other choice words for her target of choice, Ashkenazi Jews.

Starting from 23:49 (at least) on this thread, we have post after post from the same truly deranged Jew-hating nut job. I’m honestly not sure how these posts can be defended. Funny how this poster is never called out by the moderators. She is absolutely repulsive.

NP here - do you report these posts? Because I report both posts with sweeping negative generalizations of Jews and sweeping negative generalizations of Muslims, and they are almost always deleted. I haven’t read that thread yet, though.

This is the answer. Report the posts you think are offensive/violate site rules.

If you think a whole thread should be deleted or locked, report the first post and (briefly) explain why in the report.

Jeff is very responsive when you use the report function.

I mostly don't pay attention to your reports anymore and I am likely to delete your posts on sight. You have become a problem yourself though you clearly don't realize it. Probably 90% of your posts are name-calling. You spend all of your time attacking other posters rather than addressing the topic at hand.

23:49 says this:

Because you're stupid enough to believe they're only going to put actual murderers to death when they've made it clear they want to kill anyone who is Palestinian and you also ignore that Zionists can kill any Palestinian and never get that death penalty.

You're such deranged and evil ppl.

I will delete this post because of the name-calling in the final sentence. But there is no "Jew-hating" and, despite the vitriol in the first sentence, the poster is entirely accurate.

When you wrongly describe posts of this sort, you undermine your credibility. That's why I've been ignoring your reports.

I read the thread rest of the thread. There is one poster who is extremely emotional and whose language could clearly be better, but there is no "Jew-hating". There is extreme anger and disgust with Israel. I should not have to remind you that "Israel" and "Jews" and not synonymous.

DP. We all know the poster the PP is referring to and the fact that you merely excuse her as "extremely emotional" is astounding. She is completely toxic and one-sided, not to mention truly unhinged. "Her language could be better"? Are you joking? She says the most vile things in every longwinded post. Amazing that you don't delete *her* posts on sight, but the fact that you don't tells us you agree with her extremely biased and hateful POV. Would you allow similar threads to stand if we simply replaced her constant "Zionist pig" language with "Islamic / Iranian pigs"? No, you'd ban whoever wrote that. Why aren't you banning her?

Additionally, you deleted a thread this morning detailing how Iranians are using children as young as 12 in dangerous security positions. The source was the BBC. Why did you delete that? Especially interesting because you allow other, much less important threads to stand, such as "Bullet that killed Kirk doesn’t match the rifle" - sourced from the always truthful Daily Mail. That could have been included on the existing thread about Charlie Kirk but you apparently see no reason not to start a new thread about him.
