WARNING RE: Offensive posts


"Fair warning: The 100 percent tolerance is over. We will start with temporary suspensions and move from there. This will apply to future posts, and it will apply to inappropriate posts as well as those that are clear provocations of such posts.

We will also start enforcing the rule that is strictly enforced at AK: public discussions of moderation decisions are off limits. That means that if discipline is imposed, there will be no cartwheels of celebration or bitching about it being unfair. There are plenty of topics here for discussion. Moderation will not be one of them.

This has been a topic of serious discussion among the moderators and the management.

Bears repeating...once again. Some of you newcomers are unaware that we actually do have some rules here. Imagine that.

Yes, the joint runs with an eye towards the First Amendment. No, that doesn't mean this is Tombstone before the Earp brothers and Doc Holliday breezed into town.

Don't whine about how unfairly you've been treated by the mgmt./mods/rockers/admins. Chances are you pushed the envelope and got banned temporarily. Pushing that same envelope will get you a more permanent vacation.

Your rapier sharp wit may be the shizzle in whatever burg you hail from but don't get too bent if the membership isn't dazzled by your brilliance or baffled by your bullshit.

One other thing, your friendly neighborhood admin/mod/janitor is just another AKer in good standing who volunteered to help out. That doesn't mean I park my politics at the door or that I'm here to be your babysitter or nanny.

Thanks.

ps this isn't an invitation to run your pet peeve/burnt tailfeathers up the flagpole in the open forums. Take it to the private messaging system.

Lets not take potshots at members who find themselves in the penalty box unless you'd like to keep them company.

Thanks, mgmt.

THanks. Just wanted to make sure. Anytime I call out wokesters in other forums for their nonsense, they report me to the admins. That's all wokesters do, is complain to get their way.

I suggest that you read the owner's first post in this thread about what is and what isn't allowed here. In my experience so called conservatives are the whiny bunch. Best of luck to you.

I know this should be in "current events" but it's here so I will respond here. Let me help. The question should not be what is a "wokester". The question should be, what is one who uses the term "wokester."

One who is pitching terms like "wokester" around is one of the racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, jew-bashing bigot, "thoughts and prayers" gunner, alt-right mainstream American conservatives that we are stuck with in this country. One of the 46% of US voters who cast their precious ballot for the sociopathic grifter, sexual assault perpetrating pedophile twice for president, and who will vote for him again should he be the nominiee of the racist, sexist etc., etc., Republican party that we are stuck with in this country.

Yes, but it may self-identify you in a negative context.
