    Default New Rule Forbidding Banning

    That we permit threads with wholesale bans on participation is asinine. One member does it repeatedly. Today the member launched five new threads each banning dozens of members who typically express political views at odds with his own.

    Put an end to this.

    The subject of whether to allow thread bans has been made before, with the result that it stands.

    FWIW, I use it as a test of character. People who thread ban most of the active forum are proving themselves to be afraid of confrontation and intelligent debate.

    While those listed on a thread ban can be subjective as to who is and who isn't a troll, the people who have massive lists of thread bans are clearly people of low intelligence, low character and not worth my time.

    OTOH, the unregistered foreign agents need to be reported and, hopefully, arrested either in the US or abroad.

    PS. the new guy is proving himself to be a fucking moron and a liar.

    This is about Earl's bans; he was doing it when I came here. Evading debate on a site intended for debate is exactly the point.

    Captain Earl Turner, ex-USAF, is a disgrace to his uniform, violates his oath daily and, IMO, a traitor to American ideals. When he drops offline, it'll be a blessing.

    That said, Damo sets the rules and he's already ruled a few times on the thread ban issue.

    Previous discussions on the issue.

    FWIW, if we ban stupidity on JPP, how will everyone know who is a fucking moron or not?

    How long does it take now to recognize that a person is a cockholster for White Supremacy? How long would it take if Damo banned talk about white supremacy?

    Captain Earl Turner, as his chosen username makes clear, both a white supremacist and a WSE supporter. The good news is that, like all the other WSE supporting geezers on JPP, he's too pussified/old/weak/brain-damaged to actually do anything except send money and post on messages boards. The bad news is that he's a lowlife traitor and white supremacist.

    Again, how would everyone be able to see that for themselves if Damo banned such anti-American authoritarians from JPP?

    Cowardice should be checked not given a license. It sullies the forum.

    Like you just did?

    What would you rather he whine about? What do you want to whine about, BP, besides Martin's posts about thread bans?

    Checked how?

    I support identifying cowardice 100%. A good way to identify the cowards, losers, liars and pedophiles is to let them identify themselves, then educate the rest of the forum on why they are not to be trusted.

    Jus' sayin'.


    PS, FWIW, threads like this help educate why those what ban others out of political disagreement and simple dislike are cowards.

    of course, no such person exists, my dear.
