Direction of the forum -- how should I handle free speech in the 2020s?

These days I feel like there’s been a shift in the intent for using those words. The guise of free speech has given way to acceptable hate speech. I think the biggest problem these days that associating with that type of speech can have real world implications.

Yes. My concern is both that it's holding back PFA (there's people who claim they like the radio show but won't touch the forum because of this stuff), and will affect my reputation personally.

There's only so many times I can say, "I don't use this language, but am committed to allowing free speech, even speech I disagree with." Which is still my stance, but I might have to put an end to the overt bigoted language here. At the end of the day, it's my name which is directly associated with this site.

A lot of people must think that you quietly agree with this stuff. That you allow it to continue because they're all saying what you're really thinking.

I don't believe that's true. But I can see how it appears that way, especially as the forum continues to devolve.

Good lord the guy has said it already. It's an open forum. It's a balancing act ok?

It sounds like you're asking for moderation of different ideologies

Never mind that you think the other side is always to blame with you in charge it is no longer an open forum .

Go play it out on your own bustling site.

I don't think anybody worth having around would assume Druff is racist because literally one guy calls people the N word on his website

Druff is about to take a knee.:blackcock:blackcock:blackcock:blackcock:blac kcock:blackcock:blackcock:blackcock:blackcock:blac kcock:blackcock:blackcock:blackcock:blackcock:blac kcock:blackcock:blackcock

You do that you mide as well shut this shit down.

We r all old now.

U will be taking out what made NWP DD and PFA what it is.

Tough call

You sound very distressed in this thread. What are you worried about?

I'm not making any kind of demands. I barely participate here anymore, in part for the same reasons many others stay away from the forum. It doesn't actually matter to me what happens.

I do sympathize with Druff and I understand the predicament he's in. I have had uncomfortable conversations about PFA with people in the poker community, and I usually avoid mentioning it in polite company. Though I've made some suggestions as to how to go about repairing the damage done, I don't expect Druff to take any meaningful action. Maybe a half-measure like a profanity filter. It will still be a safe space for you, dwai, splitthis, and sidedish to color on the walls. Go nuts.

You can have free expression of thoughts and ideas without having shitheads yelling the n-word all over the place.

C'mon, druff, make the obviously right choice. Do it for yourself and your standing in the community, if nothing else.

Do the decent fucking thing. Even if you have to mod the forums more.

Not distressed at all. Just bewildered that you are weighing in on this topic when
you bailed from this site like a little girl.

I have no respect for you simply because you ran away and now you're chirping in when
you have no dog in the fight and you promote your own little site here when it pleases.
:GTFO

there we go, he's out of his comfort zone already

what shall I call you.....you don't stand a chance buddy

Making any demands? What a joke. To even mention making demands is
a laugh riot coming from you.

Don't you realize that when you went to "drunk maniac" you immediately lost.
All you have said in this thread is for not.
How easy is it to lose your shit?
Hate crime is something you're going to have to work on

The best you can do right now is apologize, log off and learn from your mistakes

Didn't apologize. Oh well not everyone's perfect

“Uncomfortable conversations about PFA” gimme a fucking break you sound like a 19 year old female gender studies major from Evergreen State College. This is lamer than your mini-rant about how you want more controlled oppo from the right.

The “speech is violence“ crowd here is just too pathetic. The same people who will be celebrating when they alter the First Amendment in a few years no doubt.

If Druff wanted to change the site for personal issues who am I to say, that’s his prerogative. But the forum is pretty tame imo and it would be a shame to see him bend the knee to long time high-count posters channeling Tipper Gore. It’s just more proof that libtards really are the new 80’s style evangelical Christians of this new era.

Druff, these guys know they have the cultural momentum to flex on you on your very own forum. Their ultimate goal is humiliation and what would be sweeter than getting you to cave and change PFA forever.

i'm only on page 2, but i have to say, i never realized how much faggotry there is here until we started discussing the faggotry.

relax,...druff isn't gonna do shit about things for the most part. what his thread suggestion does is absolve him from any wrong doings moving forward.

he can always say..."hey, I tried to clean it up" as a way to get out of uncomfortable situations with fukwads that are aware of pfa, but don't care about the forum anyway.

it's really a brilliant move.

lol at the sheer panic of possibly not being able to say the n-word anymore

bless your hearts

it's more than the n word. i can't go on reddit, twoplustwo, facebook, twitter or whatever and draw people getting their dicks cut off. PFA is the only forum that will allow me to flourish until I take the time to copy paste a forum from github and launch www.wizload.com

pretty much true. and hasn't sersly sers been a "for hire" propagandist, as well as just do it for lulz? portraying many polka playas in a bad light in his vids

also,...remember when tina used a pedo avatar for many years where kidz played with a used condom.

lol what a bunch of whining little faggots crowe, srsly and bcr have become, maybe consider logging off or hanging yourselves, your penis' have retracted into your bodies to make vaginas, kill yourself

Tell the truth, did the black kids you were forced to sit with at lunch steal you tater tots? Did they inadvertently set off this long chain of racism and shit posting we have to deal with, because I might really be down on BLM if they caused this.

But you’re totally down with extorting of businesses, demanding White people give up their homes and using looting as reparations. Totally cool with that.

have you considered helping druff out and voluntarily not using that word so he wouldn't have to consider banning it? he could then say he left the site free speech.

druff already did you a favor by not titling the thread "should i continue to let dwai use the n-word?"

you're literally the last one here to do it

This is likely true. You call people that name BECAUSE you are racist. Racism is the cause, your words are the effect.

dwai nailed it here.

If I thought this was only about the n-word I wouldn’t mind but it’s really not about that. Look back at the thread and read the posts and these guys are talking about “trimming the fat”, “banning certain posters” and one guy even broaching the subject of banning topics that have gone mainstream. (That particular guy believes any opinion to the right of his amounts to a conspiracy theory).

They’re using the n-word argument to wield power because it gets their opponents back on their heels and in defensive mode as they plot their real agenda of full scale censorship. Never mind that Black people can use a word freely that would have maybe vanished from the lexicon if they abandoned the word themselves. But why do that when it’s so useful not to? Is this the systemic racism I keep hearing about?

:this

dead on, they're using the guise of racism running rampant as a trojan horse to try to bully druff into banning me, before me it was mumbles (even though he's Uber ultra left loonybin), they just want the good ol boys here and don't welcome any new posters, maybe posters don't post because everyone is mean af to anyone that's new

Well it technically is still accurate because I’m pretty sure it was posters here who asked him to make that

:lol

It’s a different world now. Thomas was fairly conservative. PLO grew up listening to Drudge radio despite being gay. He was a conservative. Even now, he preferred the moderate over the progressive. Brandon isn’t some super liberal.

This wasn’t generated by people here.

No one here started a ban x thread.

Druff started a thread asking the community about a very narrow issue that causes him problems from people he runs into at WSOP or radio listeners who would never participate and be associated with the forum.

Most pointed out that slurs are a hot button, but if they have reluctance to join based on slurs, they’re obviously going to have a big problem with a dwai chasing people thread to thread being an asshole looking for attention.

They are going to have a problem with the small handful of miserable people who derail every discussion with trolling.

He made a point that he’s not going to ban extremist ideology, which is the bigger problem.

The costs of a lockdown outweighs the benefits is a reasonable political conversation. That’s ideology.

Bill Gates wants to chip me and Mike Dewine is a secret socialist globalist hiding as a fiscal conservative for 70 years is mental illness. That’s not ideology, but he isn’t going to stop it.

So you can get rid of a word or words, but if someone is reluctant to be associated with a word, they very likely are going to have a problem with being associated with the most vocal posters being assholes who chase posters around trolling and/or mentally ill.

I wouldn’t bother changing anything if I were him, unless people in his neighborhood are giving him grief because they googled him, or Ben’s parents friends. It’s not like some person at the WSOP is going to join because they banned a word and then find they love being trolled by losers. If they cared about a bad word in the first place, they aren’t going to like the place. That seems obvious.

You’re vocally supportive of a group that routinely spouts and practices extremist ideology and you’re worried about someone talking bad about Bill Gates. Unreal.

This wasn’t generated by people here.

No one here started a ban x thread.

Druff started a thread asking the community about a very narrow issue that causes him problems from people he runs into at WSOP or radio listeners who would never participate and be associated with the forum.

Most pointed out that slurs are a hot button, but if they have reluctance to join based on slurs, they’re obviously going to have a big problem with a dwai chasing people thread to thread being an asshole looking for attention.

They are going to have a problem with the small handful of miserable people who derail every discussion with trolling.

He made a point that he’s not going to ban extremist ideology, which is the bigger problem.

The costs of a lockdown outweighs the benefits is a reasonable political conversation. That’s ideology.

Bill Gates wants to chip me and Mike Dewine is a secret socialist globalist hiding as a fiscal conservative for 70 years is mental illness. That’s not ideology, but he isn’t going to stop it.

So you can get rid of a word or words, but if someone is reluctant to be associated with a word, they very likely are going to have a problem with being associated with the most vocal posters being assholes who chase posters around trolling and/or mentally ill.

I wouldn’t bother changing anything if I were him, unless people in his neighborhood are giving him grief because they googled him, or Ben’s parents friends. It’s not like some person at the WSOP is going to join because they banned a word and then find they love being trolled by losers. If they cared about a bad word in the first place, they aren’t going to like the place. That seems obvious.

You’re vocally supportive of a group that routinely spouts and practices extremist ideology and you’re worried about someone talking bad about Bill Gates. Unreal.

I really have no idea what you’re talking about. If you mean BLM or ANTIFA or whatever, spend your day searching for a post where I’m a vocal supporter. You’re going to have a long day. That’s not my brand of democratic politics.
