This would be before the Wizard made this ruling -
Hate Speech: While we try to promote free speech as much as we can, racial slurs, vulgar terminology or advocating violence against any person or group of people are not welcome. (Added 1/10/2019)
Standards have tightened just because of posts like that, though your example is somewhat mild compared to the garbage dished around here previously. I would have expected to call out that post, had it been made after this rule addition (and the surrounding intent and discussion of implementing one at all), just as I did the "sheep" comment.

Trump is not a member here
Trump works for me and he is doing a terrible job
Donald Trump is a criminal crooked sexual assaulter moron. If Trump becomes a member, I'll take the suspension
Otherwise, I would not use and have not used moron, rapist, crook, sheep or criminal to describe a member
Not so much. Some of the following are from the Kavanaugh threads and other more recent threads:Quote: beachbumbabsThis would be before the Wizard made this ruling -

Some morons believe in betting systems.
Some believe in astrology.
Some believe in Prince Charming, or in being able to change their boyfriend.
Some believe in the efficient market hypothesis.
Some believe in afterlife and a personal God.
I can see you campaign signs and stickers now..."Morons for Morons in 2012".
Morons +100
Bigots +97
Racists +88
Sexists +77
Mouth-breathing knuckle-draggers +86
Evil people +100
People who think it's fun to kill things +78

Those who spent fourteen years in grade school and finally gave up without graduating +89
People who consume at least one six-pack of Bud per day +98
I was just stating my scorn for morons is based on individuals, not groups.
But what sets this particular group up as complete morons is their lack of comprehension.
The remainder of this thread will be dedicated to the morons who took the Onion article seriously. Good luck getting some degree of self respect back.
Are you kidding? The teabaggers would break out in a collective case of glossolalia about it. It would be the lede on Hannity for months. The morons would eat it up.
Don't shooters are retarded.
Way to prove her point, morons.
Anybody who thinks it's okay for the leader of our country to stoke divisions and incite violence is a moron.
Quote: darkozSo you arent for law and order?
The law says asylum seekers are legally entering.
I understand you dont like that. I understand you believe they are gaming the system
But your preference for how the law should work does not change the law
If you believe the laws of this country should not be followed then you are against law and order
But I have seen you espouse vigilante justice and the murdering of people without trials so I guess I am correct
BTW - that makes you the bigger criminal

Point being - he’s tired and slowing down.
And Hillary won’t be his opponent in 2020. Hopefully it will be someone younger.

More recent than what? Certainly none of those quotes are 2019. And are you sure they all did not incite warnings or suspensions?
We stopped allowing the use of moron as a descriptor years ago. However, the rule change (and the discussions as to its intent) did address more directly the issues around disparagement of groups which are obviously associated with members. So taking some of those in context may have flown in the past. It's unlikely any of them would go unchallenged now.
Quote: BozWith the clown car full of Dem candidates, who knows what’s real or fake anymore. Would anyone have considered giving SS benefits to illegals 10 years ago when Obama was elected?
They were getting them from the beginning. Anyone who pays Social Security taxes, even under someone else's number, is entitled to the benefits from them.

This old story about Biden swimming naked in front of female SS agents is coming back around. Looks like someone is pushing for him to stay out of the race. Of course it’s just a few Dems trying to use him as a sacrificial lamb to turn it around on Trump.

mayor Pete, is Gay, married to another Gay guy,

What late night hosts do you watch? He is progressive with crazy policies and is gay. He is untouchable to them. Only thing going against him is he is white, but I think being gay overcomes that in today’s Dem party.
Hell in Chicago they elected a gay black woman with an Indian sounding name Mayor. Or maybe it was just Jussie in drag, I can’t tell anymore.

Says more about you than it does about Mayor Pete that that's all you got.
He's the real deal. I bet you haven't spent 2 minutes listening to him. I'm supporting someone else, but he's pretty inspiring, very smart, has some strong ideas, and makes a lot of sense.

So it appears one by one every Democrat will sign off on every demand of every identity group out there!

I generally abhor liberal/progressive politicians, but I watched his town hall thingie and thought he could be a leader who would listen to the other side. I do not get that feeling from Booker/Warren/Sanders/HarrisO'Rourke or Trump. I do get that feeling from Biden and Buttigieg. But neither is a real viable candidate to make it out of the Democratic primaries.

homosexual, it was off to

I have been searching for one of his comedy albums where he talks about going to the State Fair all drunk having a good time ridding the bumper cars and cashing into everyone..... until he woke up and realized he was in the parking lot.
