A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Offering your opinion as an “actual argument with actual data” and a link to amnesty international does NOT constitute a coherent, well formed argument.

Give me your definition of a well-formed argument, then. I also haven't seen your argument based on data, just badmouthing me.

Uncivility is the reason I report things, not bad opinions or arguments. The latter is acceptable because correcting those that's the only way people can learn. Uncivility is unacceptable, since that only causes harm. If you don't see how you were uncivil, I suggest you go read your comment more carefully.

For instance

Good luck in the real world buddy, you’ll need it.

Uncivil. Do you see it now? Thanks to federation, you can imagine your own rules in your own server obviously, but it doesn't remove the fact of how you're behaving.

I would also call out how unclassy it is to make rude comments on regular threads with an "admin" account, but that's another one of your freedoms of running your own instance. But if you keep doing that, at some point other admins will start blocking your instance.
