[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]The issue is that people calling a blatant racist an angel for 48 hours and you deleting rebuttal makes your forum look welcoming to white supremacy.

If you make a welcoming space for people to wax peoric about racists with no rebuttal, you're taking a side.  It's not a good look.

Remember the Nazi bar rules you make it welcoming to a certain group, it's going to get hostile to everyone else.  [/quote]

If you think that I am running a Nazi bar you are delusional. The 48 hour rule cuts both ways. When Rob Reiner and his wife were killed, I spent two days dealing with complaints by conservatives that I was removing their posts. Do you really think that fans of Reiner should have had to put up with posters saying that he deserved it? There is very little grace in the world today and all that I ask is that two days go by before every death is treated like a carcass being ripped to shreds by hyenas.

NP.  Yes, it does cut both ways, but I don't know why you waste so much energy of your own energy as a moderator enforcing your arbitrary rule.  Newspapers publish obituaries that contain both negative and positive information about the deceased's life as soon as the obituary is available.  I am a big fan of Rob Reiner and it wouldn't have made a difference on DCUM to have read posts by someone who hated him, since they'd post the same content after 48 hours anyway.  Our own President posted nasty (and false) things about Rob Reiner before 48 hours had passed, and that saddened me far more that no one thought to moderate him.[/quote]

This.  Newspapers don't shy away from covering reality.  And the rule has been enforced selectively with terrible speculate about Reiner flying around on this forum.  Letting conspiracy run while hiding racism of people like Bardot and Kirk is 100% taking sides. [/quote]

I am not sure what you are talking about because during the first 48 hours I was removing negative posts about Reiner like crazy. It even generated several complaints.

Comparing DCUM to a newspaper is apples and oranges. I view DCUM as a community. When someone dies, there will be community members who want to mourn that person. I don't think that they should have to put up with a deluge of negative posts that take away from their ability to grieve. I am much more understanding of the person who is overly sensitive to a death than I am to the haters who can't wait even two days to attack someone.

i am really disappointed in those of you who appear to be liberal but lack basic empathy. When did you all lose your humanity?

I am liberal to the bone and don’t think there is much humanity in requiring people to stay silent about a person’s life for 48 hours when their life contained actions that were offensive to many people.

Brigitte Bardot was convicted 5 times for inciting racism in a French court of law.  It’s not as if DCUM posters are rumor mongering or expressing opinions that are subject to debate.   She was a public figure, about whom much was written, and requiring people to stay silent about those actions which were well-documented in many news sources as if she were perfect is disrespectful to those who feel racism is wrong and who know that her embrace of the French far right was troubling.

You yourself said you won’t impose the 48 hour rule when Trump dies so clearly you have your own limits.  [/quote]
