Unsurprisingly, I was added in the very first batch of invites. Likely for my typically fair and balanced posts and insight.
It is doomed, then.

This is the proper attireI'll participate, but only if I get a blazer with a cool patch on it.

The political support did not exist when that was tried previously
They tried it. It made things worse. The idiots ran rampant and the good posters got infractions when calling them out.The concern for "political support" seems to be wildly inconsistent, I can think of many actions here that no political support existed for yet they were taken despite that.

It is widely accepted that the source of P&N problems was not insults. Insults were the symptom of the actual underlying problem(s): Intellectual dishonesty and wide use of logical fallacies. It was determined that it is not possible for mods to "correct" those types of things with current resources.That is a <word I can't say here or it may be considered some kind of call out> issue. If the idiots ran rampant then they should have been given the infractions, not the people that reacted to them because they perceived that there might be some bias in the way things were dealt with based on political views.

Like, I've been paying attention to the people who are big into the debate club. They might as well rename the forum liberal circlejerk honestly.
Exactly. Most people don't even realize they are doing it. Then you throw in deliberate trolls, people who know exactly how to skirt the rules while pushing all the right buttons and you have the cesspool that is P&N. How do you know if someone is just really stupid or if they are just trolling? You often can't, so mods have to give the benefit of the doubt that the poster is just stupid. You can't infract stupid.lol, ie the public is stupid.

Who wants to have a master debate with me?
What does it say about me that I'm in debate club but never applied?

Debate Club has been changed to "Discussion Club". Apparently someone can't make up their mind. I wonder what the real reason is.![]()
