SOCN

[laughedatbytime]

The hyperbole is dripping from that post. "Publicly attacked". It must be rough being so fragile.

 

Typical ad hominem attack. Publicly attacked in this section of the forum for a recent post that vaguely dealt with politics.

 

Ummmm.....

 

YOU brought up politics outside of SOCN when you know better than anyone that it isn't allowed. You once got suspended for doing that. (And you didn't do it "vaguely" -- you knew exactly what you were doing. You could have talked about the Absalom thing without mentioning Trump's family.)

 

There are plenty of political blogs and forums out there. If you want to talk politics, go visit one of them. Seeing as you'll never again have SOCN access, you can't do it here.

 

As for your claim of an ad hominem attack, Ford didn't attack you. He accurately described you.

 

This thread will be moved to SOCN later today, or perhaps just closed.

Just close it. It has no value in SOCN (or anywhere else).

my suggestion is to close it, and if the posts can't be hidden, move it to SOCN, so those who aren't members cant see the slanderous comments and base their opinions of members on lies.

I think there is another side to the story but it’s neither appropriate to discuss it here nor is it worth raking over old sores.

[Weatherman]

I'm new here. No idea what SOCN is.

But I generally live by WWND. What Would Neil Do?

He's not afraid of your judgment.

[_hi_water._]

[Maverick]

So wait...

 

William Faulkner wrote a book in 1936 about a trio of families in the mid 1800's.

 

Niel references the title in 1984.

 

Mary Trump uses a name from the book while working with a publisher in 2020.

 

Reb uses this as a pretext to create a thread bashing Trump outside of SOCN because he was banned from SOCN for bad behavior.

 

Sounds about right.

[rocketom]

1-0-0 just publicly attacked me for making a legitimate post and I want to defend myself,

 

Yes, I was banned from SOCN a couple years ago. After many years hanging out there and untold thousands of post I was suspended 2 or 3 times.. Once for calling out bigotry against an attack against an atheist. And the other was for defending an attack against Neil in GenPop by a LABT who hates him because of his political beliefs and I called it out. I gladly took that one.

 

But everyone who ever posted in SOCN knows there was always a double standard against liberals by 1-0-0 and the mods. Every liberal that posted there was constantly personally assaulted and the mods turned a blind eye because obviously they felt they deserved it. Hell, I was even Doxxed and the mods did nothing.

 

The mods let the conservatives get away with 8 years of spewing never ending racism against Obama. There was endless birther conspiracies and attacks for being Muslim and so on. There was always some racist posts from the attacks on Muslims (NY mosque) to present day Trump racist propaganda. No one was ever called out once for posting and promoting that racist garbage. Ever.

 

I was banned for suggesting that some posters motives might be racism. Imagine that! I mean, it was obviously true, but still!

 

And also, since Trump we have a wealth of social science that actually proves I was right. What I said was a fact. I can post endless material supporting that conclusion as we look at people’s identities. (See:Lilliana Mason)

 

Other than to see old friends when Neil passed away I could care less about this place. Like the other liberals I moved on long before the ban and rarely posted as it was. This was a legitimate reference To Rush that could be posted on any other a rush forum, but once again, if it hints at anything negative to conservatives it is taboo.

 

What a joke. Some things never change. The first rule of Rush Club is don’t talk about a Rush, especially if people might find out they were atheists and progressives and abhorred bigots. They get banned.

 

1-0-0 will delete this I am sure. But it is a fact. We both know it. Everyone I talked to when I came back in PM’s agreed. You can claim to be fair but you allowed endlessly bigotry and attacked those who confronted it. You can live with that, my conscious is clear,

Never heard of SOCN, if you're a Liberal then there are plenty of places on the Internet you might Like, They even Censor those Evil Conservatives, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Google Etc Etc Etc.

The Sense O'Clock News is the Politics section here on the forum

[Rick N. Backer]

For the life of me, I'll never understand how people can say something along the lines of, "I've never posted in SOCN, but all the people who post in there are . . . " It's a politics sub-forum. If you're not into politics, there's no reason for you to post in there. I have no interest in Porcupine Tree or Government Mule. You won't find me posting in threads dedicated to them. It's pretty simple. But if you've never been in there, how do you know it's all a bunch of . . . ?

I just knew there was something fundamentally wrong with you but I couldn't put my finger on it until now. :P

What does thinking Trump is a bozo have to do with politics anyway?

 

wait - are we not all on the same page?

Suffice to say out here, you won't find too many people in SOCN that are reflexive supporters of any politician. The OP was actually a notable exception to that.

 

EDIT: Now, let's get back to talking about how LABT worships those teeny boppers Amon Duul II.

I don`t think anyone has ever had their mind changed about fundamentals like religion or politics in an internet forum, and the principle for most interactions should be

 

a) Try not to offend

b) Try even harder not to be offended

 

I’ve had my opinions changed by discussions I’ve had with people on SOCN.

Me, too.

I like Pink Floyd from DSotM to The Wall, but Dave Gilmour doesn't belong in the same sentence with Edward Van Halen.

 

To paraphrase Clubber Lang, "C'mon 73, get up. I got some more for you. I got a lotta more." :)

[JohnRogers]

This is amazing!!!

 

This is the reason why I would never join SOCN! If this is deleted in the morning then I get it.

 

Any thing ULTRA is horrific in politics.

 

Humanity needs to find a middle ground yet now there will be a Civil War 2021. So sad really.

 

I just want to live my life. Find love again and listen to my music, play my drums and go to concerts. Well thanks Covid-19. It's life.

 

SOCN. The so called sacred hall that I will never enter.

 

People hate me on here for being me, but there is also so much love on here. Such is life. I think it's great that some people can't stand your ideals and philosophies in life, yet so many do love you and it's so fun to be open hearted and randy on here. I will never change. 73 knows this but I have learned to tone it down. Or have I? HAHAHA! I love Treeduck, JB and Lorraine. So many other too. Fridge! Tony R, Grey! Chica, Sully, Gutless Wonder, Turbine, Cat, Entre, 55, blah blah blah! On and on and on. Zepp is the greatest new addition to our Rush Family ever! Even Myles is awesome. I loved going back and forth with him, yet at the end of the day he loves so much music I do. So silly and so stupid. Michael and I don't communicate anymore and that's fine, but I'm just saying fuckk it. He has great taste in music.

I'm the idiot who can't evolve. LOL!

 

RUSH ON!!!

 

S.uck

O.ptimistic

C.harm

N.arcissists!

 

LOL!!!

 

It's not about politics.

It's not about ultra left or right.

Stick up your ass and choose to rock

All night.

 

Hahaha!

 

No matter who runs the country we are all fuckked.

So get in line everyone and start getting plucked.

It's all about the money

Not about humanity and fun.

Live your life to the fullest because we all come and go.

Live for the sun and let all of the positive vibes take over your soul...

You'll get no disagreement from me. I'm not that much of a prog listener. Someone once told me that "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" is probably the most progressive album ever recorded and I couldn't listen to all of it. When Marillion opened for Rush, I was confused and unhappy and may have even dozed off.
