People on internet get annoyed with other people on internet

It's ironic to gatekeep content in a Simpsons meme group and be so anti-satire where it does not conform to their thinking on certain matters.

Absolutely.

A scan of Facebook profiles which comment against a particular photo (together with likes of such comments) indicates that the guys are crusty, virgin types and the girls are scruffy, shout-the-loudest, daddy issues types.

Well that isn't true - they're a mixed bunch in fairness. There are plenty of fair and reasonable members.

Yeah it does get very tiresome after a while, it's done a lot to put me off the page. I'd be fairly bang in the centre but they're so rabidly to the left it's insane - I literally had all my comments deleted by a mod before for arguing with a guy that the GULAGs were brutal prison camps.

They will not tolerate any kind of "wrongthink" in that place, certainly if it's in any way counter to Communism (and no, I don't mean "communism" to mean anyone favouring a welfare state, I mean literal red flag waving, Stalin praising communists).

It's their group, they set it up, they have total control over the content and why should they have to change just because it got popular? It's not a public service and unlike other places like Boards they don't have to cave to pay the bills

Never even implied they should change it because it's popular - the hostility, snarkiness, intolerance could be dropped though, not exactly an unreasonable expectation. Of course their charter says something along the lines "Be nice to others". :pac:

There's cognitive dissonance going on here (as well as putting words in my mouth and an unfounded claim of rightwing outlook ) because of agreeing with their views. The kind of behaviour I'm talking about isn't acceptable on any page. Imagine a right-wing page with people carrying on like that.

Yeah I was given a warning message and had all my comments disagreeing with a guy that the USSR was not some humanitarian utopia deleted. I wasn't even being abusive or anything, was simply backing myself up with historical facts. Not tolerated, they're mad idealogues.

I remember you! That was the point where I was gone.

They do a good job over at ISF. But in general right-wing are just not funny.

Who said they are funny? Criticism of ISF doesn't mean wanting a right-wing page.

My favourite comedian is David Chappelle - a man who doesn't feel the need to nail his colours to any specific political mast. Why are people so obsessed with being one or the other - even when it comes to comedy!

The Simpsons itself was the same.

This thread is really rather odd and quite frankly I'd never heard of the ISF (makes it sound like some kind of freedom fighters).

Just popped back in to say I love the new thread title.

Thank you oh you anonymous mod

Thanks for changing the title but this kind of mod dictatorship/bias is just confirming my point of what it's like

What you think this is a democracy?

Go have a look over in the prison forum with people languishing in their droves, being mocked and ridiculed by mods and admins alike (actually they stopped that and I'm still annoyed over it )
