No
No more than people pushing their groupthink should be banned from it either.
If large numbers of people will talk about select people and cast them in a certain light then said view is open to being challenged.
This is a silly idea and it only has any credibility if you buy into conventional red avatar thinking and refuse to accept it being seriously challenged.

This, 100%.

Muting OSR while allowing posters who have no problem with October 7 continuing to post would be incomprehensible to normal people.

[Vosem and jaichind never engaged in personal attacks on other users yet were explicitly banned for their views. We know it’s a left-wing blog but it’s interesting to see what behavior is tolerated and what isn’t.

I will never understand why so many of you think that personal attacks are worse than being bigoted.

Like you're really going to tell me that you'd rather this forum have a polite neo-Nazi than a rude person with mainstream views?

Because views encourage debate and discussion on a forum.
Meanwhile personal attacks interfere and derail debate and discussion.

No, open racism, etc. doesn't "encourage debate and discussion." It turn places into sewers.

Speaking about our enemies the same we always do isn’t racism . Just like saying “The Russians are the bad guys”.



If you want to go with that, 80% of the people who try and scam my company are Indian men, so Indians are scammers and bad people.

The whataboutism leftists do to defend Islamists is ridiculous. Muh BJP , Muh Likud , Muh Christian Right

No, you’re REALLY having a hard time understanding that “x is bad” is not how the world works. Individuals can be terrible people but the group can never be uniform. Coincidentally you’re at the same time conforming to the exact stereotype of linear thinking and inability to think and inability to process the whole that all the Indian tech people at my work have as well. But again, that’s not everyone.

It's only whataboutism when Republicans do it.

I'm waiting for the nasty personal attack.

Another non-sequitur followed by more persecution complex.


I should have seen this coming. 

That was a real Effort Post!
