To be truthful the hypocrisy in here is shocking but not surprising. CH did not make a judgment on Leash in that exchange. Leash did make a judgment about CH however. In this case the pro-Trump crowd came to the defense of the guy who took 10 or 20 shots to start it as is the standard line around here. I notice how no one seemed to care about that at the time. The hypocrisy continues.
Funny that the same guys who are constantly whining about SJWs are suddenly upset about someone hating Trump supporters. If that is how he happens to feel there is nothing for him to apologize for. He said nothing wrong and he is right about the far right element here that is growing by the day.

These are two quotes from the latest rant. He's accusing me of being reactionary and closed-minded and then says he hates an entire group of of people.
Leash simply pointed out an obvious contradiction.
Leash was once a solidly "liberal" guy here.
After 18 months of waiting for simple answers on why Trump was being investigated, he had the temerity to speak up here. Asked for something more from the media than simple talking points.
Overnight he went from being liberal, and a good guy, to some sort of virulent racist. Eerily similar to what has been done to JORR as well. And now, it's a growing right wing conspiracy on the board.
I never accused him of being a racist. Not once nor did i ever hint that he was a racist either.
He did however encourage individuals who posted and said racist things to post and say racist things. Where i'm from they're known as sendoffs.
He had capital with a great number of individuals on here and as such knew that he'd always get cover on it.
There is no doubt in my mind that the behavior of certain posters on here was strongly encouraged by him and it helped to create a more toxic environment.
You don't really get a lot of that here now Imo.
You also do not get as much engineering of discussions either.
People discuss things they want to discuss and ignore the things that don't want to discuss. Every thread isn't a referendum on how "good" or "bad" this place happens to be either and there is a lot less of the longing for the halcyon days and posters either.
If it was so great then those guys would not have left either.
