I dunno if this will get me infracted on this site, don't know, don't care, we shall see;
But christ on a stick, a lot of you seem just as deranged as the people on SB, just with a different political slant. Your politics are obviously different, but you're just as deranged and conspiracy filled as they are.
More on-topic. I'm Canadian, RBG doesn't directly affect me. I respect what she did for women in law, and her actions on SCOTUS, at least she generally stood by her convictions from what I know. So I will show her respect for that. RIP. Beyond that, the whole hoopla about replacing her? Yeah, I'll stay away from that.
You're not inaccurate with your post. As you see it got almost 20 likes, too.
Which isn't much for SB, but quite a lot for here.
You know what makes this place better though? You WON'T get hit for saying that. Many of us are really fucking glad when people come in and break up the echo chamber a bit.
Posting on SB is like walking on eggshells in enemy territory. If they had policy more like here, I'd still be posting there..instead many members of your site have fully weaponized the rules (they use it on other lefties too, it's not just a left vs right thing) and it's made that site a wholly unpleasant experience.
It's a fair point that this place can get bad, too. I'm not a fan of echo chambers on either side. I appreciate people from the other side of the political coming to post here. I wish more did. This site could use some more lefties and moderates, and some actual debates with pushback. The nice thing here is. You're very unlikely to get hit for much of anything. So feel free to stick around and debate with us.
SB could use the same. Without giving bullshit infractions left and right. As I said, if their rules were less heavy handed, like SB of the past or how it currently is here, I'd still be posting there.
Anyways. I was not a fan of you at SB, but I'd like to use this post to put aside our differences, make amends, and welcome you here, if you choose to stay. You'll meet some hostility, but many of us would like you to stick around, maybe even bring some friends with you. You won't get infractions just for disagreeing, getting a little short tempered or posting against the echo chamber, there is no such thing as getting hit for "bad faith debating," just because a mod or two don't like your argument, here.
Have a nice day, super. I hope you stick around.
