  • From 2022 my dude...

  • No, you said I never answered your questions then I found a reply that does not appear to actually have any question.

  • The reason people left Reddit wasn't a speech issue, it was that they ganked the API and killed all the 3rd party apps.

  • We made an exception for an incredible war criminal, yes. Don't expect us to do it for everyone.

  • There's a big difference between Kissinger and Graham, I mentioned this in another reply, but it bears repeating...

    Kissinger had the power and ability to act alone in his atrocities.

    Graham, as a member of the Senate, did not have that ability. Whatever evils he enacted, he was able to do so with the consent of a majority of the House, Senate and President.

    Kissinger did what he wanted, Graham literally could not on his own.

    Not saying he did good things, he was a complete tool, but a majority of the Legislative branch signed off on the things he did. Not the same thing at all.

  • Sorry, is there a question?

  • I had like 50 or 60 replies today, if they were disingenuous questions, you won't be getting answers.

  • And that does happen, way more often than you might think.

    Things get reported for no reason or bullshit reasons, we click "resolved" and move on.

  • I hope she's OK! 😉

  • Again, you can call him an asshole without celebrating his death.

  • It's cool, you should have seen the crap we removed when Carter died. We aren't playing sides here, that's why it's in the side bar.

  • Nope, literally everyone else. Google "Kissinger war criminal", then try "Lindsey Graham war criminal".

    The difference between them is clear. As a member of the Senate, Graham was incapable of acting on his own. Kissinger was not limited.

  • No, I don't. Case in point, you're still here, right?

    I remove posts and comments that break the rules, and I ban people for cause.

  • Not this community, but others, yes, absolutely. Always why you want to read the sidebar and see what rules are in place.

  • Having made an initial pass of the comments, there were really very few removable. Mostly blatant rule breaking like "Good!" and "I am celebrating!"

    The rule states "bannable" but not how long. The minimum I can set is 1 day. I'd probably have gone for something in the hours range, but it is not that granular. 😉

  • It was a mutual decision, not mine alone.

    I believe the exact quote was "Yeah, rule 6, but fuck that guy."

  • Wasn't just "the mods hate". Kissinger was legit a war criminal.

    As much as we all hate Graham, he was not at the same level as Kissinger. Few are.

  • When did you stop beating your significant other?

    See how that works? Hey, I'm just asking questions...
