Opinion of the drop outs: Averroës Nix

[Secretary of State Liberal Hack]

They seem to have deleted most of their recent posts and have left the site.

[Del Tachi]

Booooo

[T'Chenka]

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

I think it's a pretty reasonable choice, accusing a bunch of user for supporting a genocide without them actualy doing anything of that sort is behaviour that should get you kicked out instantly. The mods doing nothing about it is a justifiable reason to leave.

What kind of poll options are these?

[S019]

He shouldn't let the door hit him on the way out.

[TheReckoning]

He was great poster, sad to see him leave.

But rather thin skinned of him to drop out over that post. I mean, like 30 people were mentioned in it, and no one else is leaving because of it.

[PSOL]

I hope he uses his time well

[Vice President Christian Man]

I didn't know he left, FF and great poster.

[Aurelius]

Sad to see him go. One of the best posters on the site, even as he got a little cantankerous toward the end.

Not his only FF sig quote. The Harry Truman one about shooting the efficiency experts was gold.

I’m glad I can talk to him on discord if I want to.

What post?

[It’s so Joever]

Wait, Averroes left because someone accused him of supporting genocide? I did that for like half of 2020, there HAS to be more than that, maybe some personal stuff.

[Santander]

I may have to leave with him. One of the few people I really respected on this site, despite frequent political disagreement.

[Klobmentum Mutilated Herself]

Snowflake move.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Snowflake move.

don't pretend like you don't think him and half the forum should have been banned already.

[Alcibiades]

I’ve never understood why people sometimes delete loads of their posts when they ragequit. Strikes me as very petulant.

Making long lists of posters who are spuriously declared guilty of wrongthink and thus complicit in genocide is widely considered fine and good now and moderators don't have any problem with it.  That's kinda new.

Wait it is okay now?! Based.

[YE]

I removed the entire paragraph regarding genocide in the now infamous post since it became apparent it was directly invoking them. I don’t know why people are still bringing that bit in particular up.

I'm relatively libertarian on the issue of trans rights and I was one of the people mentioned. It reminded me of how John Brennan said that libertarians were violent extremists and threats to democracy, when they're the ones that don't want the government there in the first place. I honestly didn't know much about the Texas law before I was mentioned but I don't think parents should be criminally charged and investigated because their child identified as trans.

[Wiswylfen]

Mostly lurk, but a big fan of his posts (one of the best posters IMO) and it's extremely disappointing to see him go.

I've stated multiple times that what I want is either for the anti-transphobia rules to be meaningfully enforces or for the staff to drop the pretense of having those rules and open the floodgates to allow people like you to say what you really mean. As it stands, the current rules are not enforced meaningfully and I don't expect them to be in the future, so I would prefer a lasseiz-faire approach to forum moderation even on controversial issues.

Keep pushing the myth that I'm your stereotypical Twitter SJW. I'm not. I don't run from my fights. I pick my battles and I bite. And I don't do well with character limits or groupthink.
