JARG Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 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 offendb) Try even harder not to be offended I’ve had my opinions changed by discussions I’ve had with people on SOCN.Me, too.Yep, I have as well.In general, the regulars are pretty reasonable and reflective people.Except LABT with his irrational notion that Chicago Style casserole is pizza. He’s right! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 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, Hey reb! SOCN is a rough and tumble place, especially for commenters supporting a certain political party. The insults, as you know, are fierce and often. Just the other day, "pinky moe" took an unprovoked personal swipe at me with a personal insult and I haven't commented with him in a long time. No repercussions if you are one of the "protected." But reb, for some reason, you got banned for honestly believing a certain political party (political ideology) operates in a certain manner against a segment of the population that looks different than they do. One wonders why socn is locked behind closed doors. Is it so a certain management group is not aware of the extremism that exists there? SOCN should be opened to the public for all to see. Other music/ politics forums operate in this manner. As for opening up SOCN to the whole board, nope, not happening. How other music communities run their political subforums is irrelevant. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 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 Its worse than you thought. Gabriel-era Genesis? Unlistenable.You're not referring to Peter Gabriel, are you? When was he in Genesis? There is no way this is a serious question.What was your first clue? That it was an LABT post. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That man didn't know what he was going to get into. Hillary would have done better? Shoot me man. Let Biden take over. I'm moving in with JB or Pat. LOL!!!!!!!! Kidding. I'm listening to some Eric Carmen tonight.I don't think anyone on here as ever talked about about Eric Carmen. Raspberries lead singer. Good band too. Anyway here comes my pun or my connection.

RUSHHEAD666 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 60 shows bitches! From 1984-2015. I've met people from around the world at shows through the decades who have seen RUSH 120 times. So I am sure as hell am not gloating. I love my even number though. I am a CFO. Math is simple even though I prefer to write. Can you guys tell? LOL! I'm going to have to cut 73 a check for all the bandwidth I've used. So I've seen RUSH for 30 years. Yes it pisses me off I missed the first decade but hey, I was born in 1968. No regrets. So if you do the math, that's seeing RUSH twice a year for thirty years! I will take it baby!! Also meeting Neil by his bus on the VT Tour. Epic yet odd. The wine train tour with Geddy and Alex! 2018! Hanging out with my brother Rod In Toronto! Another guy I love!!! This isn't about privilege, money or luck.It's about the passion and the love for something that may seem to last forever, however Analog Kids.... "We are only immortal for a limited time." Millennials need not to apply. Those fuckking idiots have no clue about culture. When then here the work "RUSH" they think they have to get another order out via Amazon Prime. F U too Amazon. Ruining Retail 101. JC PENNY is closing. Chuck E. Cheese is closing. NEEDLESS MARKUP MARKUS? CLOSING! The world is changing. A Vanilla Ice Cream Scon has nothing to do with it. LOL!!! RUSH ON FOREVER!!!!!! NEIL PEART!!!! I LOVE YOU! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
