I mean, I've heard that you and one other were of that opinion, and had decided to go around screaming it from the rooftops, and you're entitled to your opinion -- but last I checked that wasn't actually a thing. If you're talking about the wiz I think you are, that guy's about as alt-right as a sandwich. He's more like, midright maybe. His politics are usually along the lines of "whatever, people are dumb". Not even the most republican-leaning member I can think of, lol. You guys already drove out the older old-school-republican gent for being...well, old fashioned and set in his ways, lol (but his opinion of Nazis is generally one of disgust and derision as well, because he's more that old school republican line of thinking - you know, that kinda Reagan style, which although I disagree with it, in his case it's honestly pretty harmless and comes from a pretty decent fella).
I mean, look, if people were being transphobic and spewing alt-right BS, trust me, I'd have been the first to log on just to scream at them about it. I'm kinda midleft and generally believe everyone should have the right to do whatever they want (so long as it's not harmful, etc. etc.). Hate speech raises my blood pressure and I got a big flamey foxy temper to match.
All I'm saying is, there's nothing to panic about, and if there was, I'd be right there shaking a stick at whoever it was and I'm sure a few others would too. I think SPR will be okay.
I want to put this delicately because I don't know you very well, but, er... your politics are EXTREME left (nothing wrong with that, just a fact that that's generally where you stand) and, more importantly, your ability to agree-to-disagree with anyone about anything political, even minor inconsequential things, is generally....lacking. To the point that you will troll them right the fuck off the MUCK for disagreeing with you. Like, literally part of the reason things are dead is YOU, the way I hear it. The entire reason the "no politics" thing sprang up was that people didn't really want to be screamed at for no apparent reason (as in like, here comes that guy logging on to scream about something new today and then scream at anyone who disagrees with him) when they're just kinda there to hang out and chill. Wasn't very condusive to a chill environment. I wouldn't put it past a couple folks to have trolled back a bit after being harassed so damn much, and then had you take them way too seriously when they did so. Because that's kinda how bad things get sometimes.
So in this case I'm not very inclined to take these cries of doom seriously.
I mean, in any other case, I'd be like "it's totally gaslighting to not take it seriously when someone says there's hate speech going on", like if I didn't know anything about any of it I'd probably believe you by default -- but for once this is actually a situation where it truly just is not that bad. SPR's an alright place overall, albeit very deadish these days. And I haven't heard even an echo of hate speech around there.
But hey, if a bunch of antifa types start joining because of this doomsaying, I'll count it as a hilarious positive! We could always use more folks to chitchat with.
