It's really unfortunate that I am having a forum member threatening to dox me and claiming he reported me to the Chinese government after telling me he hopes my partners father rots in jail. This seems way beyond what is acceptable behavior. I simply asked if blueskull had any more info on the Coronavirus outbreak in Shandong province as that is where my partners father is most likely being detained after being disappeared. Blueskull had previously mentioned there was an outbreak of coronavirus in the prison system there. Luckily, doxing is an empty threat. I have no intention of stepping foot in mainland China under the current political system and I stand by everything I have said. I post my own work under my own name and have nothing to hide. |

One post gets reported and yet it's missed what caused that post to be made and then be reported. Like I mentioned a few posts back, there is always 2 sides to a story. Do you think you need more moderators to spread the load ? --- Quote from: I wanted a rude username on February 23, 2020, 10:59:41 pm ---That's likely. Reddit used to have a problem with users competing to get the most negative account karma, until they capped it at -100. Some people get frustrated with not being noticed for positive contributions and aim for negative ones instead ... and that is arguably easier. --- End quote --- And exactly the reason why Dave only enabled Thanks a few years back. |

Don't want your political post deleted? Don't post it. Do not react to other people's posts, it's a pretty simple concept, yet some people just can't help themselves. This is not a moderated TV political debate where we have to give equal time to each debater. |

OK Dave thanks for engaging on this to date. I have further thoughts which I could share in private if you wish rather than further clutter up this thread. |

You are just one of thousands of possible opinions, and if I engage you I have to engage a thousand others. |
