I don't think there's much of a mystery there, TBH.
In politics there's no such thing as 'objective truth', yet most of us feel passionately about this issue or that issue. That's a
recipe for heightened passions to float to the top and fires to start.
Look also at sites specifically for political debate: many don't accept 'other side' views because of the inevitable back biting, bitching and
flaming!

Legal and Societal Issues by nature will still allow political threads as long as they are strictly related to amateur science. That means if there is
any tangent that goes off topic and into dangerous waters, it will be swiftly pruned. I'll be keeping a close eye on it when I'm online.
And if the climate change thread comes back (though I would recommend just starting a new one at this point), I will monitor it and prune it as
necessary.

Living in an alternate universe will allow for denying the nexus between gun rights and other liberties and regulations on chemicals in light of the
state security concerns about nefarious activities and what countermeasures are justified which has direct bearing on the liberty to pursue amateur
science.
The terrorists have won. They have forced the imposition of "regulations" that destroy the liberty of everyone as a countermeasure against terrorism
that won't work anyway, just like gun control won't work either. The criminals will be resourceful and get around every countermeasure, and only the
law abiding will be affected by the regulations and interference and loss of liberty. The disruptive effect of terrorism and crime has resulted in
governments of states being a "force multiplier" for the terrorists.
And what is the nature of the terrorists? Well you can't talk about that because that would be talking about a religion and that would be bigoted to
just speak the truth about who is the problem ...oh that would be hate speech to speak the truth.
There is no "politically correct" or neutral way to describe reality so no one will be "offended". IT IS NOT POSSIBLE.
People don't want to hear the truth because they can't handle it. Truth is too grownup a subject and must be sugar coated so the medicine can't be
tasted, and the sugar content has to be increased and increased some more until all there is is sugar ........sugar.
I have seen this movie and I already know how it plays and ends. I have tried again and again repeatedly to factually describe the realities involved
and it always gets the same denial and fruitcake kind of response that it is "politics" well duh.....of course it is, and the concern can't be
discussed in its particulars while a zero tolerance policy about politics is the rule. No way can you have your cake and eat it too on this one
.....but go ahead and try and try try again.
Good luck with all that. I already laid it out and stand by every word.
If I was wrong I would have said so a long long time ago. I am NOT wrong.
I suppose stating the truth is "politics" ????? Now what?

Well of course you would say that.
I wouldn't expect anything else from you.
However, there is no "nexus between gun rights and regulations on chemicals." If anything about gun control comes up again even if it is as some sort
of analogy to chemical laws, it will be moved to detritus. It is 100% possible to have a thread about laws affecting chemistry without mentioning guns
once.

I'm sure all of this may seem convoluted, but try to bear with me if you even want to try to understand. The following is not meant to be "political"
but dispassionately analytical as a global sort of "intel analysis" from someone able to do this very thing in a verifiable (not "certifiable") way.
There is a perfect nexus between liberty in general and basic freedoms, the most basic of all among which basic rights you deny, which is the natural
right of self defense, so that ideological view compromises the entire analysis and distorts perspective in a way the nexus that does exist is also
denied.
Perception is reality ....surely it must be so in the alternate universe where it would be inconvenient to allow analyses of regulations for exactly
what purposes they serve and examine the ideologies and strategies that are accountable. Many regulations are countermeasures meant to address actual
dangers and so have factual basis that has validity, but the strategy is incorrect so the ultimate purpose is not realized and the collateral effect
of unintended consequences is a cost to liberty that is worse than the threat meant to be addressed, which is not really effectively addressed, and
the net effect may be counterproductive. That is more usual than unusual.
So in the alternate universe of course it is forbidden to correctly identify a nexus that does factually exist and is entirely obvious, and to
identify correctly with a full bill of particulars any truth that would be politically incorrect and counter to the governing premise for that
alternate universe that perception is reality.
Stipulated truths agreed upon by convention as a concensus proclamation are the "Big Lie" that becomes by wide acclaim "authorized truth" and it no
longer matters what is factual reality among all those who agree to the stipulated lie, that becomes ideologically governed and proscribed truth, that
is the fiat currency and coin of the realm where no gold standard for truth exists anymore. It is an ideological fiction, made for convenience, an
expediency that is a "legal fiction" indulged for political reasons.
No illusion may be made subject to examination that will expose it being an illusion. It has been decided and proclaimed by the Supreme Authority
that there is no nexus where factually a nexus does exist, so then the subject will be taboo and can not be discussed. And of course, once gone down
that slippery slope of "taboo subjects" for protecting various illusions in the alternate universe, a growing list of "trigger subjects" will
accumulate which are things not to be discussed because the facts about such subjects would expose the illusions held to be "sacred truths and
precepts" in the alternate universe where perception is reality.
Absolutely then, truth becomes "politics" and one in the same.
Recognizing this simple nexus is exactly why I in a moment of clarity about what is afoot here just simplified it to observing
Truth cannot be spoken here ....because it is too "political" or too "offensive" or too "controversial" or too something ....it is never quite "right"
or compliant in agreement with some view held "sacred" by another as "their truth" and their ideological correctness and political "correctness" that
they hold to be "proper".
I try but can never be "the proper stranger" but am forever the "visiting alien" surveying it all from orbit. I have no "toxic world view" but often
have a very wide angle eye in the sky view of a toxic world, like a remote viewer just watching from altitude.
If I'm in a bubble then it's one hell of a Hubble  like being on the outside
looking in.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CUcXH2wXlQ
So then the disagreeing person who cites different facts and observations and has a differing analysis must be a "trouble maker" for asserting a
"truth" that differs from the "authorized" truth that is the proclamation of the Supreme Authority. I mean to make no trouble but only tell it like
it is.
None of what I have observed over the course of time that is 3 or 4 times the entire lifetimes of those who would "correct" me about "reality" makes
any difference ...what could I possibly know with all my "outdated views", I mean I am such a dinosaur and an anachronism, and I am so "unscientific"
that I actually believe in an "imaginary friend in the sky" so then ALL of my observations and conclusions must lack validity ....just consider the
source and the "impairment" there is obvious, correct? Suppose that premise for dismissal is what lacks validity.
Go ahead, onward to Shangri La where perception is reality for the "enlightened" and the modern and don't listen to me, not ever, who would dare to
speak the blasphemy that perception is not reality and that a nexus you deny exists for a plain fact obviously in many respects of direct correlation
does in fact exist. It is not my intel analysis that is faulty, but is your ideology which rejects examination because of facts that show yours and
others perception is not in fact reality. When your illusions are threatened by facts, you bring down the hammer that silences what you simply refuse
to hear. No evidence would be sufficient to cut through the conditioned defense mechanisms of your conditioned mind. And in that world where you
assert there is no nexus between natural rights and general liberty, every aspect of life is and will be governed and is decided by many men with many
guns, while you have none, but of course that tiny distinction must be somehow different another way between those who say what will be and those who
are subject to make it so .....while denying the obvious "forbidden" distinction that the guns have anything to do with who is who as the actors in
that scene. But of course, who could ever imagine the preposterous idea that all political power flows from the barrel of a gun?
That simple truth and many others can't be discussed here because it is counter to "authorized doctrine" as proclaimed by the Supreme Authority and
dialogue controllers and thought police, revisionist historians and mini propaganda minister / enforcers of "ideological purity" which has "protected
status" on this board.
I get it completely. There is a practical goal of "peace keeping" that allows for discretion deciding what is at any given point in any discussion
"politics" or some other "forbidden subject" where discussion must be curtailed because someone got angry or someone got offended, even though that is
really their little "personal problem" but we must for expediency not personalize an indictment that could "offend" further and will tell the "white
lie" that it was the subject matter that was the issue and not the immaturity of those who "lose it" and "go off" on others simply to trash a
discussion about a topic they can't psychologically manage and maintain self control.
So we stipulate the problem is a "taboo subject" to put out the fire, and it is the taboo subject that is the "bad actor" and the whipping boy that
takes blame. The safe zone is then recreated .....until next time Rinse,
lather, and repeat.
You see I do understand completely.

What I understand is that you have a near-infinite capacity to spin 'theories' that have no evidential basis, then present these as 'truths'.
How 'Blogfast controls this forum' is one of the many.

You start flinging shit at people and flaming them which gets threads you don't approve of closed down. Go look at the last 5 closed threads and see
who first started insulting...
Not such a crazy theory.

How about the first time someone gets personal, they take a week sabbatical. If when they come back it starts again then give them a month off, if
there's a third time, you just ban them.

When people start flinging shit at entire Peoples, religions and other assorted groups they should expect some counter-fire from those who
disagree with that. After having insulted half the world, these racists should then perhaps not cry 'ad hominem' when some one calls them a name.
You somehow laughably pretend to be 'objective' while anyone can see where your sympathies lie.
Had I known about the 9 year old policy on 'no politics!' I would have reported these violations to the mods here, well within my rights.

Evidence you want, okay you asked for it.
Evidence of tag team elder abuse at this board.
The coordinated attack evidences a constructive conspiracy.
Review the thread in which the linked post appears for evidence.

You obviously don't know what a conspiracy is, which may explain why you see them everywhere.
Political threads are now prohibited after finally and much belatedly enforcing a policy that was in place for 'ONLY' NINE YEARS!
Nothing else.
As suggested elsewhere:
Please start your own blog, Rosco.
They’re:
• Free
• Take 5 minutes to set up
• Can be closed (‘membership only’)
• Moderate out the ‘children’ to your heart’s content
• Recruit here or generally on the Net
• Write what you want without any restrictions whatsoever
• 'Censor' any opposition
• Have massive food fights with opposing blogs
Simples.

Unless you want that possibly pruned too, go right ahead.

No it is not about flaming at all. It was an appeal to conscience and clarity, that went nowhere.

Ironic (or perhaps inevitable) that a thread about stopping flame wars has instead incited one. All we need is franklyn to make an appearance and
we've got the whole crew.
It's not about "suppressing truth" or a "conspiracy" or whatever it is you all are rambling about. It's very simple, really: This is a forum about
amateur chemistry. If your post is not at least tangentially related to that, then it doesn't belong here. I don't care what your views are on
subjects other than chemistry. You are free to post them on other, more appropriate forms, but please leave everything else at the door when you come
here. Simple.

I have banned at least 4 members from posting, (but not from U2U) in the last 24 hours.
Essentially, if you would not say something to another person's face, do not post it here. If you are the kind of asshat that actually WOULD insult
other people to their faces over religion, politics, sexual preferences or other NON SCIENCE RELATED MONKEY POO FLINGING, make an exception for this
area of the internet and DON'T.
If you have a problem with someone else and their statements, activities or views, call a moderator on it if they are doing something that violates
site policy. Otherwise, SHUT THE FUCK UP AND STAY OUT OF EACH OTHERS FACES.
If you feel the need to discuss politics, find a different forum for that. This is not negotiable. Anywhere.
And U2U me if you're banned but want to not be.

Rapopart’s Rules for critical commentary:
1. Attempt to re-express your target’s position so clearly, vividly and fairly that your target says: “Thanks, I wish I’d thought of putting it
that way.”
2. List any points of agreement (especially if they are not matters of general or widespread agreement).
3. Mention anything you have learned from your target.
4. Only then are you permitted to say so much as a word of rebuttal or criticism.
Anatol Rapoport was a Russian-born American mathematical psychologist (1911-2007).
