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

That's fair. I think that the possibility that they came here for real discussion is very low. But I don't think we KNOW why the user came here, we just ASSUME we know why the user came here. Nothing that user posted was explicitly trolling or inflammatory... It just was counter to the echo chamber here.

So sure, I can assume we know what this was about... but you have to admit that you took the low road when in fact the content they posted was perfectly fine.
