I came across this on LP. Goldi just blew it off. No answer at all. In my mind this is the final proof that LP has morphed from a free speech site into a pure propaganda site. Not that I didn't know that before, but I didn't have any hard evidence to support my opinion until this came along.

*SECOND REQUEST*

Did you ban aristeides? If so, why?

You've had more than one post from more than one member asking you about aristeides' evident "secret banning," without an announcement or explanation, approximately a week ago. You have ignored each query, even though you have found time to post materials such as an unsourced anonymous e-mail that you have excoriated others for posting in the past. Why don't you show some courage and integrity---some good manners even---and answer this question:

DID YOU BAN ARISTEIDES? IF SO, WHY?

Thank you for your prompt and candid response.

I wonder if Goder_Peretz gets the ax for raising an inconvenient fact.

Who cares? That site is loaded with foul mouthed disgusting amoral idiots, blood thirtsy teenager genocidal advocates, and cowardly murder and torture cheer leaders - none of whom can follow a logical train of thought for literally two posts in a row. They are shallow posters who have made that site a wasteland of one liners and verbatim crap they spew from their reichwinger propaganda organs- that even when exposed as lie- they just keep on believing and posting. It is a circle jerk site. The few souls that actually stick around to "debate" these cretins seem to enjoy bashing their heads against brick walls. Some of the posters there are indeed shills who have a "job" to do. But others are just too stupid to address as they are utterly incapable of critical thought or basic logic- never mind rules of debate and standards under wich to evaluate evidence.

Aristeides banning was just the last straw. My time is limited. "Debating" with people who don't even share a basic understanding of reality is pointless. I would much rather prefer to debate with those that are not in the thrall of party or ideology.

I think the hypocracy needs to be pointed out. Beyond that I have no opinion on what goes on over there.

And that indeed is the point of the thread.

It is my experience on these boards for nearly a decade- that there are two types of posters. The first type of poster may have strong opinions and firmly held beliefs but he is capable of critical thought, self reflection, and can admit when he is wrong- and is generally comfortable enough with himself to not be afraid of the truth- his identity isn't his politics and his whole world won't collapse if he is proven wrong on something.

The second type of poster also has strong beliefs and and firmly held opinions. But he is uninterested in challanging them. He views "debate" as merely spouting forth his viewpoint and shouting down, ignoring, or belittling competent challanges to his posts. He already knows the truth- and NOTHING is going to change his mind. He posts merely to stroke himself. His ideology is such a part of whom he presents himself to be- that to suffer any sort of defeat- to admit any wrong- even the tiniest of errors- actually is not possible for such person. His politics are who he is- they define his morality- his religious faith- they determine right and wrong for him- they are his guide in life- and a geniune quest for truth would DESTROY his self image and this meticulous world he has constructed. He is about playing defense and going on the attack. Anyone who challenges his world view isn't just wrong- they are an evil enemy trying to destroy him. These people CANNOT be argued with.

The first type of poster represents about 5 percent of the online population. Most don't last long on these forums as they quickly grow disgusted and find better things to do. The second type of poster is 95 percent of the online crowd who inhabit these boards. My experience on these boards is such that within a half dozen posts or less I can tell wether a person is worth engaging or not and what "type" they are. LP is loaded with the worst of the category two types. It is an exercise in futility to even respond to one of those pathetic losers.

I try to spend time with posters who are worth the time. There are none worth the time at LP.
