Well the main problem is any idea other than one's own gets bashed. Just plain backwards.

Also, anyone questioning norms gets labeled as an offender of such norms. Just plain ignorant.

These two deadly concoctions = Stifled hiring learning environment overall.

May disagree with you, which is fine and dandy but what that person does, is tell you WHY they believe you're wrong. They don't attack the person, they attack the argument. Plus, they bring in sources to back their argument.

There have been so many times people attack me and they don't even try to touch the argument I put forth. :smh:

It really tells of their character and mental capabilities. :what:

The biggest problem in HL is everyone has a persecution complex and whines whenever things don't go their way and they have VERY short memories. We've addressed how things are done enough to the point where I'll just @Brown_Pride do it if he wants. As for the Israel thread.....it was requested to be thrown in the bushes well before you said anything and I refused...I mean the posts are still right there in the thread. @thekingsmen what you don't get is that I've gotten PMs and reported posts numerous times about people who get upset about how people like you post. They claim that trolls and "anti-intellectuals" are ruining the board and that BP and I are fukking up just letting guys like @iLLaV3 run freely. So this idea that we're somehow against you is ridiculous.

Your problem is with your fellow HL posters who come in your threads just to be disrespectful and to demean you and not to contribute in a constructive manner because they think you're not making any sense. I can only ban so many people from threads or delete their posts before I'm basically a babysitter (and I've done it a lot). You guys need to sort that out on your own because there's no way we can moderate that 24-7, we've tried too many times and it always blows up into something big.

Exactly.

I just think it's funny that the guy who's complaining (@thekingsmen) is in essence a part of the problem. He essentially wants one opinion to reign supreme and any that differs from his to be silenced.

Don't even get me started with @iLLaV3

I found a nice dose of irony in that as well.

I agree that people should mostly, if not always, stick to attacking the thesis presented...and original thinking, that may not be commonly held, shouldn't be stifled. There should be an environment here that promotes thought provoking threads and opinions (perhaps more specified philosophic topics as well) rather than threads that inevitably end up with people :deadhorse:

with the same old rhetoric and personal beefs.

Or maybe posters like you and the OP are just logically-handicapped morons who cowardly hide behind this canard of people trying to stifle your opinions, when really your arguments just melt under factual scrutiny like ants under a magnifying class.

Everybody who makes shytty arguments chock-full of gaping logical craters and a tenuous grasp of facts whines about how the garbage they spew is being stifled, dismissed, or somehow not respected, whether it's in news media, academia, or a message board subforum. But nobody is being stifled, you're free to say what you want, and arguments do not deserve respect by their mere existence; they are judged on their merits by observers. If you don't like the judgment your arguments get, suck it up and stop whining or :camby:

Pretty much every semi-tenable argument on the usual topics has been addressed and put through the scrutinizing wringer multiple times, so this victim role you and some others try to play with this accusation of stifling an intellectual environment is quite disingenuous. Some people don't feel like going through the same motions over and over and over again, so they might just give a flippant or sarcastic remark and k.i.m. For instance, somebody asks how homosexuality is different from bestiality, incest, or pedophilia like every week.

And some arguments are so absurdly ridiculous, many believe they don't warrant a serious, clinically-detached response. I mean you once made a thread asking why isn't it okay for strangers to touch babies. Do you really expect people to be like, "Well sir, I don't think it's ethical to touch random babies because..."? On a hip-hop, sports, and comedy message board? :russ:

It's also what you unhumbly tend to do yourself. Don't be a hypocrite.
