Dear Anonymous,

This board is insanity... it is flooded by a small minority of people who are so terrified that they have nothing better to do than try to disable the utility of our discussion. HELP US. I don't know what to do. You all can figure out a solution. I know that you can. Please help us.

Sincerely, One of the 99%

I think that's a dangerous line to tread - "silence these people over here, because we don't like how they disagree with us". "Silence that guy over there because he doesn't agree with how I chose to educate him on what is right and wrong."

I hope the small collective of Anon would have better sense, on the whole, then to be used as a tool to silence certain people on the word of others. I know you won't like me for saying that, so this post may get downvoted (THERE is your exercise of democracy, NOT silencing people by force).

Anonymous is about freedom of information on the internet and it sounds like you are encouraging suppression of free speech. Anonymous is not your personal army.

Ratings for topics would be a start. That isn't hard to script, if anyone connected to the webadmin is capable. There's already comment rating; it'd be nice to just downvote bad topics, push them into a ratings hole without actually censoring them, and move on.

Anonymous is not your personal...

Just stop.

If it Isn't right then it is wrong/If it is wrong then it isn't right. The reason for the "illumination" of wrongful loop holes, total contradiction of any true "unity as a country" w/ the rightful explanation of both.

I understand your frustation. But it's not up to any one Anonymous poster to tell people what to think. The 99% have eachother. We need to keep plugging away! I know it might be slow, post by post, person by person, but right now, it is necessary to rely on eachother. We get our strength from eachother.

Avoid the "your post is to long jerk" matters of distraction, in trying to make connections and prove any point anyone that can't understand that one page could make more of a difference than capturing a few lines, that in putting everything together (because there is no way to really say anything/everything that is happening w/out really putting it all together or change anyone's mind). And whom ever is calling people racist etc. when someone is trying to help and/or talk, they are beating a dead horse if they think that they are going to bring anyone together by once again separating "their" issues for "everyone" etc. ( : + : )

hollymaria1 just ignore them, you're not obligated to respond. only respond to intelligent discourse.

Ignoring isn't so much the issue... it's having to wade through floods of garbage...

Anonymous is working for/with the 99%. They have already made allusions to doing something about this board. I was just offering encouragement.
