Yesterday a few of you decided to go over to Reddit and kick the beehive...The predictable things happened. Every comment and post on Reddit was down voted to oblivion and the users were generally hostile calling Poal a den a right wing neo-nazis.

Also predictably, a few of them followed the trail back here and started posting pro-Democrat/anti-Trump content... and a few of you got triggered like a PETA member on a hunting trip.

If the first time you see content that does not reverberate with the echo chamber properly you instinctively reach for the down vote button then you are making this place no better than Reddit. That is the top of the slippery slope to vote brigades, shadow bans and censorship. Or did the users that down voted WANT Poal to be an echo chamber? DId some shills just out them selves?

Do better. BE better.

- I'm looking at you. Grow a fucking backbone

I've been here 2+ years and I've downvoted 56 times.

Damn, Titus. I'm at 507, if I understand the Power Levels correctly.

Name calling is worth downvoting. It isn't discussion.

Unless it's clever, like "and a few of you got triggered like a PETA member on a hunting trip."

And it is one thing if the name calling is in good fun and yes being witty helps! However, if you create a new account and you immediately start name calling, I'm sorry, I don't think we need that behavior here and I will absolutely downvote it.

Agreed.
Yeah, there's a possibility the poster-in-question was sincere, but it didn't seem so at the time and I hit the DV button. If your first post here is trolling I'm gonna have a hard time giving you the benefit of the doubt. Like I told Boobs, I'll try to do better. We'll just have to see.

I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, but you're not going to earn anyone's respect coming in here as a new user and acting like an asshat.
