But y'all keep saying in this 9 page thread about how awful Corbyn and those around him, and his supporters are..that anyone who dislikes Corbyn or is right leaning is being censored. Maybe go say the same thing in any of the other multiple negative Corbyn threads, or threads that are negative about the left in general. Of course we are definitely trying to rid the site of any dissent. As a serious debates forum absolutely can work when all of the posters in there agree 
Anyway, I'm not being drawn back into discussions about it as I have repeated myself so many times already and seemingly been ignored if what people are taking away from this is that no negative posts about Corbyn are allowed. Its really just paranoid nonsense, it really is. Maybe pick yourself a left wing figure and start spamming all over the forum, about how much you love them, one line posts, random turning of every political threads into how much you love this left wing figure, and see what happens (actually please do not actually do this, no more offtopic stuff ). As it will be exactly the same thing, which I reckon kind of proves that its not about silencing one side, its about trying to keep SD from being a repetitive load of bollocks.
Again, went into more than I planned to here but meh. It still won't be listened to and people will continue to have this (false) view that we are 'protecting' the left of whatever. The most left leaning member on here seems to bloody love all of the Corbyn discussions anyway, no matter how they start. It seems to be those who are not that into politics, or are just sick to death of seeing the same stuff everywhere that have issues with the repetitiveness in threads... |
Vicky, I appreciate your well meaning explanations, I really do and I know you believe what you are saying to be true, but my perception is completely different and I'm not alone in that. The people raising criticism are not stupid people. They feel an injustice is being done. I've made my decision, that's what works best for me in the circumstances, time will tell how things go in the future
