The demand for censorship from the OWS supporters reeks of totalitarian ideas. Frankly I'd rather keep the 1 pecent in power, at least I won't have to learn how to goos step. The "trolls" that are using namecalling (umemployed long haired loser etc. etc.) should drink their mylanta put their teeth in the efferdent and go to be with a nice hot water bottle. the posts that I have read here augment the idea that americans are so divided in their opinions that the masses (read 99%) will never ever affect change.
Trolls are monitored on every board i have ever been on. "In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[3] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_%28Internet%29
this is our fucking board though! and furthermore,just shut the fuck up! the "oh gawd, its da fashisum because dey censored me for being a dick!" isn't even close to totalitarianism. We don't want them here! I mean this is the goddamned internet,not real life.
to moediggity, perhaps you should read the entire post, your saying "this is our fucking board though!" is a great example of how illogical you are. the 1% can just as easily say "it's our fucking money!". and where does that get anyone? be moderate not moronic.
thats a strawman argument. This board was built by us for us,and not for them. \They would never show you the same courtesy on any of their sites. We need to stop acting like obama and stand our ground. If the mods refuse to do their job, then im going to occupyr.com or themultitude.org. The occasional troll or naysayer is fine. But to let them take over our board like this,to let this board become this disorganized is criminal. I don't give a damn about their so called "rights". This is our board not theirs!
What demand for censorship?
I hear mostly the opposite.
I want the trolls to stay and continue posting their naysayer,idiotic,insulting points of view. Some are funny. Many are meanspirited. Most are scared...scared of the change that will come. So,if they stay here,the trolls will be well prepared for the changes to come....or they will eventually see the light and join the movement.
I tend to agree. The presence of the trolls may actually help us to remain better GROUNDED in the reality of the struggle against an often stubborn, ignorant and meanspirited 1%. If the trolls were all banned, we might tend to lose sight of those FORCES OF IGNORANCE AND DARKNESS that we are up against.
They are teaching us patience and reservation right now. peaceful solutions
Yep. That's right. The trolls should stay.
They make me feel like Brooke Shields on "The Muppet Show". :)
lacking any other kind of organization, it becomes neccessary to limit the garbage spew. if there were sub forums and trolling could be move to its own sub forum, that would probably be a better over all answer. it is hardly totalitarian to protect ourselves from evil basterds and liars and con scammers and trolls.
ya mean like the seething vitriol that is spouting out of your computer keyboard? I've been reading some of your posts and you my fellow american sound like a nut job. Santa Barbara is such a beautiful place, go to a bar on state street, or to el paseo and have a margarita
you deserve far worse than what i give you. you are in no position to tell me what to do.
now you really do sound like a nutcase.
I agree with you there should be no censorship. I think they should have a more organized fourm. With mods and admins. So we can get a clear pic from OWS as to there plans and ideas. It would be eaiser to tell the differance from trolls, Troublemakers, OWS supporters and those with legit arguments aginst OWS. Lets keep this fair and open.
No true Dirt Bagger would ever do this. I don't believe you.
