Any time anything is posted about Alexandria, they storm out in force. The trolls get angry when called out, and ask Jeff to delete some of their posts and some of the posts that call out this as trolling. There seems to be no consistency with how Jeff moderates. It's disappointing that he allows one specific jurisdiction to get trashes.

Very few posts regarding Alexandria get reported. It is more frequently for posters to simply complain in a way that is unhelpful because, like you, they complain about trolls without identifying them. Since both sides think the other is trolls, it basically means that all the posters are trolls.

What I normally do is remove all posts that I can identify from one specific poster who is your neighbor in Del Ray. That poster is a blatant racist who is not welcome to post here. I remove his posts and any replies to them. That may result in what appears to you to be an inconsistent pattern of removals, but it is actually very consistent.

I'm going to respectfully disagree with you here. I don't see what you see (and I'm not the individual you think you've ID'd), but I had several posts removed that were critical of the vandalism of JD Vance's house. My spouse is a POC and my children are biracial so for you to claim that it's racist to disagree with the intolerance shown to newcomers is .... frankly, BS.

Where have I said that disagreeing with intolerance to newcomers is racist? I didn't say anything of the sort. But, if you want to talk about BS, I think that is a good way to describe the suggestion that putting yarn on a sign post is "vandalism" of a house. If that is what your posts did, that is a perfectly good reason to remove them. Moreover, since both you and the troll in question use either VPNs or proxy servers, I could easy confuse the two of you. If you are using a VPN, you will automatically be more suspicious in my view simply because VPNs are so often used by troublemakers.

Get with the 21st century Jeff. VPNs are used by educated consumers of internet data. Calling their users troublemakers is like bragging that you don't use your seatbelt. There are a gazillion reasons to use them, not the least of which is to prevent your employer from seeing you socializing during business hours.

I think I know more about what happens on this site than you do. The vast majority of troublemakers are either using foreign IP addresses (because they are foreign spammers) or using VPNs. That doesn't mean that every VPN user is a troublemaker, but I am less likely to give VPN users the benefit of the doubt if other factors suggest they are trolling or an otherwise unwanted user.

Feel free to use a VPN. But just don't complain when you post describing putting yarn on a signpost as vandalizing a house gets removed.

It was targeted harassment, and you know it. Makes you look like a fool gaslighting it.

It was yarn on a signpost.

DP here but it was most certainly meant to harass. I know the woman who placed it there.

The poster describe the yarn that was tied to a signpost as vandalism to a house.

LOL that anyone would claim it wasn't harassment. I love that it bothered the people in Del Ray that Vance landed there. Love it. Love it. Love it.

Can you show where anyone made such a claim? You guys create one straw man argument after another. The poster's allegation is that rainbow-colored yarn on a signpost was vandalism to a house. If Vance is intimidated by yarn on a pole, that's his issue. I don't have an opinion about it other than it is not vandalism to a house.

That's not what I, and I suspect many others, think PP was alleging. I think PP was alleging that the incident was designed to harass and intimidate. You, for some odd reason, seem to want to hang on to semantics. Maybe vandalism was the wrong word to use but the intent stays the same. Your side acted to harass and intimidate a mixed race family because the husband is a Republican.

So, you are admitting to ignoring what was actually written and, instead, arguing about something that is a creation of your own imagination? Here is what the poster wrote, "I had several posts removed that were critical of the vandalism of JD Vance's house". The "vandalism of JD Vance's house" was rainbow covered yarn tied to a signpost. If you want to argue about the intent or effect of the yarn, take it to a separate discussion. That is not the issue here.

I also love that addressing the verbatim writing of a poster is considered "semantics" and is criticized. Why bother have a discussion on a written medium if words have no meaning?

The war on straw continues. You have massacred an entire army of straw men.

I can play this game too. Why do you consider yarn representing gay rights to be harassment? Do you oppose gay rights? Are you threatened by yarn? Are the rainbow colors offensive to you? Are you a homophobe who reacts to any symbol of gay rights with fear?

I have no fear of gay symbols.

Any time anything is posted about Alexandria, they storm out in force. The trolls get angry when called out, and ask Jeff to delete some of their posts and some of the posts that call out this as trolling. There seems to be no consistency with how Jeff moderates. It's disappointing that he allows one specific jurisdiction to get trashes.

Very few posts regarding Alexandria get reported. It is more frequently for posters to simply complain in a way that is unhelpful because, like you, they complain about trolls without identifying them. Since both sides think the other is trolls, it basically means that all the posters are trolls.

What I normally do is remove all posts that I can identify from one specific poster who is your neighbor in Del Ray. That poster is a blatant racist who is not welcome to post here. I remove his posts and any replies to them. That may result in what appears to you to be an inconsistent pattern of removals, but it is actually very consistent.

I'm going to respectfully disagree with you here. I don't see what you see (and I'm not the individual you think you've ID'd), but I had several posts removed that were critical of the vandalism of JD Vance's house. My spouse is a POC and my children are biracial so for you to claim that it's racist to disagree with the intolerance shown to newcomers is .... frankly, BS.

Where have I said that disagreeing with intolerance to newcomers is racist? I didn't say anything of the sort. But, if you want to talk about BS, I think that is a good way to describe the suggestion that putting yarn on a sign post is "vandalism" of a house. If that is what your posts did, that is a perfectly good reason to remove them. Moreover, since both you and the troll in question use either VPNs or proxy servers, I could easy confuse the two of you. If you are using a VPN, you will automatically be more suspicious in my view simply because VPNs are so often used by troublemakers.

Get with the 21st century Jeff. VPNs are used by educated consumers of internet data. Calling their users troublemakers is like bragging that you don't use your seatbelt. There are a gazillion reasons to use them, not the least of which is to prevent your employer from seeing you socializing during business hours.

I think I know more about what happens on this site than you do. The vast majority of troublemakers are either using foreign IP addresses (because they are foreign spammers) or using VPNs. That doesn't mean that every VPN user is a troublemaker, but I am less likely to give VPN users the benefit of the doubt if other factors suggest they are trolling or an otherwise unwanted user.

Feel free to use a VPN. But just don't complain when you post describing putting yarn on a signpost as vandalizing a house gets removed.

It was targeted harassment, and you know it. Makes you look like a fool gaslighting it.

It was yarn on a signpost.

DP here but it was most certainly meant to harass. I know the woman who placed it there.

The poster describe the yarn that was tied to a signpost as vandalism to a house.

LOL that anyone would claim it wasn't harassment. I love that it bothered the people in Del Ray that Vance landed there. Love it. Love it. Love it.

Can you show where anyone made such a claim? You guys create one straw man argument after another. The poster's allegation is that rainbow-colored yarn on a signpost was vandalism to a house. If Vance is intimidated by yarn on a pole, that's his issue. I don't have an opinion about it other than it is not vandalism to a house.

That's not what I, and I suspect many others, think PP was alleging. I think PP was alleging that the incident was designed to harass and intimidate. You, for some odd reason, seem to want to hang on to semantics. Maybe vandalism was the wrong word to use but the intent stays the same. Your side acted to harass and intimidate a mixed race family because the husband is a Republican.

So, you are admitting to ignoring what was actually written and, instead, arguing about something that is a creation of your own imagination? Here is what the poster wrote, "I had several posts removed that were critical of the vandalism of JD Vance's house". The "vandalism of JD Vance's house" was rainbow covered yarn tied to a signpost. If you want to argue about the intent or effect of the yarn, take it to a separate discussion. That is not the issue here.

I also love that addressing the verbatim writing of a poster is considered "semantics" and is criticized. Why bother have a discussion on a written medium if words have no meaning?

I see you care about semantics more than you do about the harassment of a mixed race family. That says more about you than it does about anything else.

The war on straw continues. You have massacred an entire army of straw men.

I can play this game too. Why do you consider yarn representing gay rights to be harassment? Do you oppose gay rights? Are you threatened by yarn? Are the rainbow colors offensive to you? Are you a homophobe who reacts to any symbol of gay rights with fear?

Why are you so worked up?

I'm not worked up. I'm just responding to your baseless and false allegation that I support harassing mixed race families. Can you explain your fear of gay symbols?

Oh, you most certainly are worked up. Look at how quickly you respond. I've never seen you defend yourself so vehemently. Why are you so defensive?

I have no fear of gay symbols.

Well, can't you say the same about yourself? I'm simply replying to your posts. What exactly is it about rainbow-colored yarn that you find so intimidating?

There is no such investigation. Anyway, the USCP has their hands full investigating the insurrection encouraged by you and Vance. But, I think you are making it abundantly clear why your posts get deleted. Between your fear of rainbow-colored yarn and your imaginary stories, it's pretty clear why you insist on using a VPN to hide your activities from your employer.
