    People post facts with the appropriate sources. Yourself and others respond with videos, failing to summarise them or respond to a point a poster has made. No one's censoring you, just pointing out that the videos are out of context with a discussion.

    Bull****.

    It’s censorship pure and simple. The admins are at it. Let’s face it. Boards has become a leftist haven.

    That’s fine. Boards isn’t a democracy. The people that run boards have their agenda and make sure it’s follow. It’s their prerogative.

    But don’t hide behind bull**** and hypocrisy. Own it. Otherwise it just looks like they are ashamed.

    Maybe if you could put words into discussions your views may carry some weight. Depending on others to do your talking for you is really not on given this is a "discussion" site

    Anyway, you are welcome to discuss matters Just stop posting the videos though

    You dump a youtube video with no description of what the video is about or what your point/thoughts are on the video.

    Maybe next time do the above and your post won't be deleted, it's not rocket science.

    Just because I pepper my posts with videos I don’t discuss? Lol.

    My videos show images, real people, and for the fact that you don’t have to take my word for it.

    Why are you afraid of the videos I post?

    I haven't looked myself but if you're going to accuse him of posting or spamming videos with no discussion, and telling him to stop, you would think it only fair that you show him some instances of it... We could stop with the pepper nonsense then :)

    What did I do wrong?

    This is what you did, here, here and here.

    Simple.

    Thanks. But they can’t. BECAUSE ITS BULL****.

    Aren't you giving out about your video only posts being deleted? How can people show you what has been deleted?


    Although here is one you posted recently.

    3. Okay. Fair enough. You’re having a hard time understanding. I get it.


    In number 2 you post a video of a man discussing various theories on Kamala Harris's blackness. Is it relevant to the topic of what you were replying to? Yes. But it doesn't actually convey your position at all. You've added nothing to indicate why you posted it or what you think it proves.

    Why are posting it out of context?

    https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=110822073&postcount=479

    Because it conveys exactly my earlier position that was quoted and refuted. I gave irrefutable evidence. Can’t get more irrefutable than that video. Now can you. There is now desire for discussion. There is just a desire to prove what I’m saying is false. I use the videos as irrefutable evidence. Notice they don’t continue the discussion after that just report my video. Censoring me because they can’t show my position is wrong.

    So again. BULL****.

    You post a video in isolation and expect people to look at it all and guess your views on it?

    Did you read my initial post? Because I clearly spelt out in my initial post that Harris is now going on as if she is African American. When she first was sworn into congress she identified as Indian America. It even said it under her name.

    The video explained it perfectly. I wouldn’t have posted the video,if,it didn’t show my initial position.

    These videos are not posted without context or comment.

    Why are people so afraid of them?

    I'm not interested in the videos you post. They are not discussion - they are an easy cop out for you to avoid proper discussion

    Anyway you've had plenty of warnings

    Because your context doesn't make it any clearer what you are trying to say. Do you think it proves Kamala Harris isn't black? The video just gives lots of opinions on it. The guy in the video seems to be making the point that Trump Jnr isn't racist because other people discuss her blackness. Was that your point? Because that doesn't really fit in with the context you just posted. Surely you see how a video alone can not convey a point without some direction from the poster.

    Does the user do so on a constant basis? If a person does something regularly that's a bigger issue and you have posted multiple of videos in single posts. Capaill doesn't have a long history of doing so and it's one in a blue moon when they post videos.

    From the Charter:
    dudara wrote: »
    It would be greatly appreciated if posters did not quote images or videos when replying to other posters.

    This would greatly help the poor hamsters as well as avoiding unnecessary repetition of an image or video across posts.

    Mods reserve the right to edit posts to removed quoted videos or pictures.

    So no, not a hard & fast rule, but really quoting should be unnecessary when posters can simply delete from the quote and anyone reading the follow-up post can then click on the link to the quoted post. Otherwise thread get clogged up with multiple copies of the same image or video

    You don't get the concept of signal to noise then. So let me be clear.
    1. You constantly post youtube video after youtube video (quote often multiple per post) in lieu of actual discussion.
    2. The forum mods (myself included) have asked you repeatedly to cut it out. Nobody's stifled your point of view, you're not one of the oppressed, so don't worry.
    3. You insist instead of arguing some spurious argument that you are "conversing', it's your right to post as you please, blah blah blah.

    So let's keep it simple. You're welcome to post on CA/IMHO on whatever topic you please, within the bounds of the charter. If you post any more youtube dumps, I'm going to continue snipping them from your posts, or one of the mods will get tired of it and card you. If you continue to engage in whataboutery and muppetry here in feedback, I'll remove your access to it until you learn how to use it properly. It's not feedback, the 'mai right to youtube' rhetoric is getting tiring, and I'm not wasting anybody else's time on it.

    How is this person yellow carded for posting a famous quote

    https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=110832799&postcount=1315

    And this person then quoting it and insulting them left to without a warning?

    the second poster was stating a fact though. he wasn't insulting the poster he replied to.

    I'm very highly educated. I know words, i have the best words, nobody has better words then me.
