poor Bender/KenJ, he was so happy making friendly faces with the good people...

It was happening to me at one point as well. :(

I always tell myself to stay away from these people - I've been in improve commentary h3ll once before - but figuring this would be a good place for free speech I fell for the political again with the obnoxious people. Doesn't mean I'll stay away from the political memes though. ;)

Probably best to stay away from those users. We've been trying to make deals to settle down the downvotes.
I won't stay away from the political memes either. ;D

Just got out of my second go-through of 'improve your commentary'. Now I know who precisely it is; certain far-righty with a predilection for Star Wars.

Yeah, any time you want to have someone sign your 'petition' about downvoting or join in and help in any way let me know. I've got so-and-so's name in to the mods; whether they're paying attention or even fair I dunno, but I will go crying to the powers-that-be if the monkey starts harassing me again.

Ah yes, he could be the one. There are ninja and natalie as well, though. ;P
Alright, I'll let you know! ;)

Ninja may be too stupid. Natalie offered to take me to the gas chamber. Kids. ;)

OMG, natalie... damn!
Yup, kids! XD

Then a couple weeks later, on another meme I brought it up. She was "oh that? well you were mansplaining to me..." like making light of the holocaust is just 'a thing'. Gonna sound like an old man, but I think nowadays the kids aren't getting the lessons on the Nazis and genocide that I (we?) did in school. I think it's why you can find so many proto-fascists on imgflip. No one really knows how far right-wing conservatism can go.

Oh my gosh.. she needs to learn. =I
I thought the Rightwing were just a bunch of antigay anti-abortionists until I heard of the Alt-Right. XD

Trump's lead man Brannon is a white nationalist. Unfortunately many supporters embrace that fully.

That is very sad.. :(
I hate Bannon.

Couldn't get this submitted for today (lost my third while in exile) but try it out: imgflip.com/i/1isgf4

Ah yes, THAT one...I butt heads with lefties every once in a while, but if and when the dark lord of communism shows up, it's time to skedaddle before anything too serious goes down.

I'm a moderate, or center-left, but when I question a committed lefty I don't get firebombed like I do when I question a lunatic righty.

Yeah. I'd say I'm center-right myself (somewhat close to Libertarian, but not quite) but far-righties that have no tolerance for diversity tick me off as much as liberals that try to insult my religion. It just really shows immaturity and ignorance.

I'm a libertarian myself, albeit with a small 'L'. I prefer to just let people get on with their lives, which is what I gained from my liberalism, which, despite the righties calling us all socialists, is focused on the autonomy of the individual. I believe in government allowing citizens to do what they want (for the most part), but should intervene if those with a lot of power attempt to take away rights and freedoms. I'm not a believer, but was one up to about the middle of college; I'm not really an atheist, I respect and mostly follow the teachings of Jesus, but I feel more that science is a better explainer of reality. But yeah, I'd never insult anyone's religion, and when people dump on Islam, despite the perfidies of its most conservative followers, I get torked. (But I guess I also shouldn't assume you're a Christian.) My libertarian liberalism tells me to respect all beliefs, or at least the parts of it that don't lead its followers to do obnoxious things.

You guessed correctly at my being Christian, so no worries. Your ideas of liberalism are the kind that I respect, being focused on individual freedoms for everyone, but not forcing everyone to believe that completely open ideals are the only correct ones. Of course I have a slight bias against some people due to my faith, but they deserve no less than anyone else (and some could learn from that statement). My idea of perfect balance is a world where we can coexist, regardless of whether or not we agree with each other, and simply let everyone be, not living with the threat of being persecuted for your decisions, so long as they aren't infringing upon others' rights. This is not to say that there shouldn't be any external pressures, as opinions are made to be shared, but a person should be able to believe what they wish without fear. What do you think? I'd like to understand your thought process here.

Basically, what you just said is a pretty fair summary of my own beliefs. Sure, I tend towards the left when it comes to legislation, but that would be center-left. I know that many on the left indulge in similar prejudices as those on the right. My problem is that the extremes insist in one 'pure' way and have little patience for a reasoned argument. It just seems, especially on imgflip, that those on the right are a little more insistent on having their way, even at the expense of personal freedoms. But those who hew to the socialist side could only reach their 'utopia' by bringing about a more authoritarian state (frankly, what's being attempted right now by those on the right who have power now). A person is free to believe what they want, but not free to infringe on others' rights to do so.

Amen. It's intriguing how alike people are when you really get down to it, huh? All it takes is a friendly conversation and you can have your whole perspective widen.

Submitted this yesterday: imgflip.com/i/1j374f . Not even meant to be political but shows where I stand on the whole left/right p!ss-fights.

Basically a summation of what I believe, dependent on who is doing the asking. :) But close...

There are far more good people on here than not. I would forget they exist and carry on. They will forget about you soon enough.

Oh yeah, I don't get too buggered about it. It was basically the same thing that happened to JuicyDeath and I suspicion the same people (I have a rough idea who). I forgot about them for months and then bothered to reply a couple times to comments and per usual they decided to try and censor me. I've had it once before and that time it was partly my fault. But I argued my case to the mods and I guess it worked. Thanks for the reply.

It's me Muhahaha :)

Nope, sorry. I already know you're too decent. :P

To restore order

Thanks, 40_something. :)

Carol Brady eh? Another popular user used to use her alot, you may have heard of her.

:)

;)

I got nothing KenJ... :/

You're back and I'm back and that's what counts. Really, if you have a 'next time' try the e-mail I told you about. Can't say for certain but it appears to have worked again.

Yeah. Bin thru that. I avoid, they fight dirty.

I've been avoiding, but I have a hard time with a$$hattery. It was two vaguely sarcastic comments to two of the most obnoxious flippers. But I 'talked' with the powers-that-be, with some evidence in my favor, and it appears to have worked. Doesn't mean I won't do politics ever again, but I will save 'evidence' if some of the replies seem threatening.

I know you've probably been sending me some of those upvotes I like so much but I've been constrained as of late. I'm back now. I'll see you on the notification trail. :)

I don't know!!
