I'm just playing the odds based on the logic used by the mod in question. It totally tracks.

This is just a stupid message board, but the above sentiment is scary as hell in the real world. The best moderation greatly limits the “interpretation” factor and subjectivity. The above criteria lacks objectivity.
In another thread about the Pope’s death, someone posted that the Pope was not as judgmental as other religious people. That post was a classic example of someone exhibiting judgment about others. Despite the hypocrisy of the post, was that “disrespectful” to another’s beliefs?
How many have to say yes for it to be so? One? Seems no more than two.
I’m glad trump is walking back his threats to China and Jay Powell. Markets can go forward again.
first thing i ran across on x this morning. i need some quiet after listening to her

This is a private business site. They can treat each of us however they like as long they don't break a law (What law?). You're mistaken or pretending if you think you're entitled to free speech here. So stop acting like you're entitled to it here.

Anybody else feel like Rick James just just walked into your house with dirty boots and the Political thread is your couch?
Stop acting like the invitation to discuss moderation was not made.
Yes, t'would be a shame if the thread suddenly became filled with examples of the glory of the modern woman.
That has nothing to do with believing one can say whatever one likes w/o consequences. But of course you diverge.
I removed the ban from the poster in question. I'm not entirely interested in continuing the conversation from last night... as I tell many people in real life it's okay to agree to disagree.
Hope everyone has a good day.

While true, a private business can risk alienating it's customers. I guess they get to make that choice though.
The Clown isn’t kidding. My mom always gave me the “not a chance speech whenever I brought up the idea of getting a board. 😡Toy store discussion elsewhere on the Paddock reminded me of this. My first job was a small paper route I had, when I was in 6th grade(ish) Anyway, the first purchase I made with some of the money I had made was from Thornbury's Toys in Turfland Mall. I'd already been skateboarding for several years, but this was the first modern era board I owned. Compared to what would come later, this thing is primitive (much harder to do tricks, ride bowls, (no half-pipes back then, especially in Central Kentucky), but for the day, this was top of the line. That flat deck and short tail made it impossible to ollie (but the ollie hadn't made it out here in those days anyway.) This was too short to "add" a kick tail to (that would come later) "modern" trucks and polyurethane wheels meant that a piece of gravel in the road wasn't a death sentence.
How I never got killed, bombing some of those hills on Pasadena Dr., with car traffic all around me is a miracle.
If there was a Mt. Rushmore for skateboards, The Hobie Hustler would be on it. Later in life, when I learned to surf while living in Cali, the board I used was ALSO a Hobie.
There is a good chance that CatinIL remembers this board/me riding it. One of my neighbors, just down the street from him (on the corner, had the perfect inclined driveway to bleed off speed and 180 back out of it after coming down that huge hill (you had to cross on-coming traffic to do it though, which could get REALLY hairy) Finally, the old couple that lived in that house put a stop to it.
Huge upgrade to my "first skateboard"
Our country is a hollowed out shell of what it used to be but thank God the “markets” are doing well.
GTFO with that crap.
I would absolutely say anything I've typed on here, to that person's face
Is Turfland Mall still there or has it gone the way of most malls these days?
I am not opposed to tariffs but trump needed to handle these much differently by not making them immediate. There should've been a ramp to allow time for companies to sort their supply chain. As it stands, every manufacturer in the us now has a big cost increase smack in the middle of production. That's impossible to account for and is very damaging.
There should've been a 6-12 month window there which is enough time for companies to react. Trump is great in real estate but has no experience in manufacturing and this shows.
Tarrifs and student loans are the two economic missteps by trump so far. Student loan relief is needed, just not to the extent of forgiveness. Then the entire college tuition issue needs attacked or this will just be cyclical.
I think it's long-term care/living facility. (Turfland Mall)
Home Depot is still there (where Montgomery Wards was, back in the day.

Trump seems to be negotiating tariffs with Wall Street rather than other countries. Not a very steady strategy he’s playing here. It’s almost like he’s just winging it. Surely not 😂
Let me fix this for you, so you can grow closer to the reality based community.
Most sane Americans believe:
Everyone has the right to due process-and when a government goon kidnaps you off the street and traffic you to concentration game without any form of due process, then we are all in serious danger.
Since there are only a tiny handful of trans athletes in the NCAA, most sane people don't spend a lot of time obsessed with this issue and realize that eligibly is the business o the governing organization rather than the federal government.
Most sane people realize that we shipped our manufacturing base to Southeast Asia to keep from paying American workers a living wage, We also realize that China holds much of our debt and has rare earth resources and other products that we need, so it's idiotic to declare a trade war with them for no reason
NO SANE PERSON wants a drug addict with the maturity of a middle school student, aided by anonymous college age hackers with checkered histories, to have access to access to ALL of our personal information, our banking information, and our computer histories. Again, idiotic and ridiculous. You' should reconnect with hat Nigerian Prince that keeps trying to give you all that money. This is the party of small government? Really? Musk has billions of dollars in Government contracts and is being investigated by numerous agencies which he is now shutting down. Bizarre that anyone goes along with this.
I don't know of any liberals out there defending vandalism but many of us feel that out of control protesters vandalizing our Capitol and smearing their feces all over the walls is a bit more serious threat to our national interest.
Your welcome!
What the actual hell are you talking about? The WH announced this week that they are negotiating with dozens of countries on tariffs as we speak.

re: The Pope Thread.... I'm Catholic, and I aspire to follow the teachings of Jesus and the Church. Long-time posters here know that I haven't been a fan of Pope Francis. Criticism of Pope Francis doesn't bother me, although now that he is deceased I commend him to God's mercy and judgment and will personally strive to refrain from criticizing him any further.
That said, on the Pope Thread, there are plenty of anti-religious and anti-Catholic comments in particular that I found offensive.... generally from the usual suspects. In spite of that, I didn't and I won't go crying to the Mods to ask them to delete posts or ban posters over their comments.
I don't agree with everything HeismaNole posts but I let it go.... I would ask @DraftCat to put a Moderator badge on his/her avatar, although know we know full well he / she is a Mod.
I am a HE for the record...
I've asked a couple times to have the Mod badge added. I'll follow up again.
Completely unhinged...

The WH announces a lot of things they aren’t actually doing. Remember Liberation Day???
Tariffs that are active will get their intended targets to the table more quickly than "theoretical" tariffs, I would think.
"What about the children!!!"
Yep
The chick screeching in the last vid agrees with all of your points.
You got that going for you.
