America and Toxic added some stuff to the board that was positive but it’s pretty shitty seeing literal Nazi thoughts posted frequently. I’ll always give Toxic a bit of respect simply because he was a brother who went to war for us and was in the shit but that type of rhetoric just simply makes a board like this uncomfortable. All in all I’d rather it not be included. “White people are better than everyone else” is not a worthy submission to The Marketplace of Ideas. It’s not an idea. It’s just hateful ignorance and we have enough of that. What say you all? |

They were pretty good when they stuck to sports. |

Let guys like leash and WFR argue the right wing side without going Full Hitler. Imo there’s plenty guys left who can argue the “right wing” side logically without going to that well. |

When keeping it “too online” goes wrong. That’s one of the well discussed issues of the internet age, too many places/communities where those kinds of hot takes are normal and there’s no pushback for them. It’s not like it was just racism, there were some weird personal/family attacks too. |

How does news of bans and suspensions get announced? |

I thought management showed a lot of restraint. Both had been booted before for the same stuff that got them tossed eventually again. |

I don't care for bannings, but aside from that, in this case they quite clearly asked for it and, quite clearly, they got it. It is what it is. |

I think the best recent enhancement to the board has been the self-imposed exile of Juice's Lecture Notes. While he may be posting under a different moniker, at least he has retired the JLN "character", who aspired to be a megalomaniacal internet provocateur while engaging in some of the most insipid arguments in the history of mankind. |

The only board member subtraction recently that I think has hurt the place is Nas and Darkside. |

Those guys are on the CSFMB discord anyway, aren't they? Ask them there if they want to be back here. They probably don't, they hate everybody anyway. |

Most of you pricks aren't very funny so it's still somewhat of a trial for me. I'll get along somehow though. |
