What I've seen from your reports are not calls for violence.
Bullshit, I flagged BestKorea not long ago for saying gays or transgender people should be killed. You did nothing.

For that matter, part of the point of a debate site is to allow the members to debate issues like this and establish what is misinformation.
The only way to respond to these kind of conspiracy theorists is with derision. You CANNOT reason with them. You have to show them this is not welcome speech here so move on to some other place or go back in your hole. Look how Trump made it ok for racists to raise their heads again. The nut jobs felt empowered again and it ended with an insurrection.

and claiming that a small website like this somehow undermines "our democracy" seems more than a little melodramatic.

As for hate speech, I think there's room for discussion on what constitutes hate speech and how we should enforce it. If someone is actively calling to cause harm to a given population, then yes, I think those posts warrant removal, the poster should receive a warning, and further posts of that kind should result in a ban.
Well you have not done that in the past. It would be a good idea. But only if they are “actively calling to cause harm” is inadequate and you know it. It’s not like hate speech is new in this country and we have seen the results. Asians being assaulted during Covid. Gays being dragged behind pickup trucks. Blacks being lynched.
The anti trans talk on this site is an absolute disgrace and you are concerned about me calling someone dummy. What an embarrassment.

Our goal as moderators is not to police what people post as regards information/misinformation, so no, you won't be seeing us remove posts because we've got problems with whether or not we think they are lying. That's never been the way moderation has functioned on this site.
So you are going to allow this site to become a place to spread misinformation. Gee, that’s terrific. At least Twitter and Facebook try to tamp down the misinformation so as to not become a place for undermining our democracy. I guess DART is destined to become another wack job haven for conspiracy theorists and racists.

Are your attempts to shame people with personal trivia going to stop them from posting what they believe?
Yes it is, although I don’t know what you mean by “trivia”. They need to realize what they believe is nonsense.

@whiteflame
Well it needs to be consistent. About half the people posting here would be subject to banning.
What about spreading misinformation? Is that going to be tolerated? You have people here constantly spreading lies. Is this going to become a site to spread misinformation and harm democracy? Is that what you want?
What about hate speech? Why are you more concerned about personal attacks than the kind of hate speech that can lead to violence? Banning hate speech should have priority over stopping personal attacks. I have reported hate speech in the past and nothing happens. You don’t even remove the posts.
So you think personal attacks are a problem here but spreading lies, misinformation and hate speech is under control on this site? You can’t be serious or are you just resigned to becoming another place on the internet for the lunatics to have free reign?
Personal attacks are an effective way to let people know that their nonsense and uninformed opinions are not ok. They need to be called out. And arguing respectfully and reasonably with an unreasonable person is a fool’s errand.

Suppose the designer turned down the couple because of all that gay sex they were having, not for being homosexual.
Exactly how would the designer know anything about a couples’ sexual activity?

The government should no more punish Lorie for speaking consistent with her beliefs about marriage than it should punish an LGBT graphic designer for declining to criticize same-sex marriage,” Waggoner said in a statement. “If we desire freedom for ourselves, we must defend it for others.”
Lol, if a gay graphic designer declined to criticize same-sex marriage for a client, they would be refusing the client for being a bigot, not for being heterosexual.

Things get silly when trying to force interactions people don't want to have.
Silly you say? Like forcing schools to accept black students?
Forcing bus lines to allow blacks to sit anywhere there is a seat available instead of the back of the bus?
Next thing you know, we will be using the same drinking fountain! White power

Because it’s true.
There is no denying he advanced lies about 2020 election fraud on his show. He knew people were lying, he declared this in texts, but he put them on his show because his audience wanted and welcomed the lies.
Created:
Justice Neil M. Gorsuch, writing for the majority, said that because Lorie Smith’s designs are recognized as speech, the state cannot compel her to create a message she does not believe in, even if she offers her talents for hire.
So this time, instead of saying a business can discriminate based on their religious beliefs, like the cake for a gay couple, this time they said the business can discriminate based on their right to free speech (or not exercise free speech) for a website for a gay wedding. This is truly a stretch of the imagination.
So you can’t deny someone a seat at a restaurant because they are gay.
You cannot deny someone a hotel room because they are a gay couple.
But a creative cake or a “speech” containing webpage, those can be denied to someone for being gay. Ridiculous.

“Grossberg’s discrimination suit made claims of an “overtly misogynistic” environment on Carlson’s production team, which she joined in September 2022, where “the staff’s distaste and disdain for women infiltrated almost every workday decision.”
Gretchen Carlson got 20 million for sexual harassment
And now Grossberg gets 12 million for a hostile work environment
Both Roger Ailes and Bill O’Reilly paid multimillion dollar settlements for sexual harassment and Megyn Kelly also reported being sexually harassed.
Any American should be ashamed of themselves for watching FOX just for the way they treat women let alone the lies and misinformation they tell the public.

“This website was a good time. It was a toxic fun mess. I was a fucking beast at grinding the rating and probably am the most capable human being on Earth at (excuse the pun) mass-debating without wasting too much time or effort. The key was the lack of effort and time I put into debate, that was what made me dangerous, I was a grinder like no other has been or will be.
I grinded this website across the board, annihilating every statistic you could measure activity by. Then they fucked me over twice in an election, then the owner returned to do the most shit update he could have to the rating system and cucked all us noobsnipers. It catapulted me to the ending you see now….I think most are pathetic lonely souls like I was”
Nobody needs the opinion or input from a nut job who would write this kind of a self pitying, sour grapes manifesto.

Biden has no discernable incentive to fix the FBI because it's likely the FBI is extorting Biden with a ton of evidence (besides the laptop) about his publicly admitted corruption in Ukraine. Imagine your own intelligence agencies compromising the president you voted for. Since I can't get enough of this classic clip, I will repost this to remind you.
More bullshit with a source that does not support your statement in any way.

I can't believe that allegation still has traction in educated circles.
Why? You have some inside information that disputes the allegations by the Justice Department?
I like how you did not use the word "codes" though. Shows you still are cogent.
You are not cogent. Trump has NOT been accused of stealing nuclear “codes”.
Most of the documents the FBI took were photographed and leaked to the press.
Yet another lie.
Either the FBI is incompetent, or they are engaging in malfeasance by influencing an election.
That is complete nonsense, even if you say it twice.

So you admit Biden continues to ruin the economy by keeping the Trump tax cuts for the rich.
Biden doesn’t keep anything, the Congress needs to change the tax laws and the Democrats have Manchin and Sineme who refuse to raise taxes on the rich.

If I were you, I would blame Melania for Biden's failure to repeal the Trump tax cut on the rich.
I imagine all the losers who don’t have children don’t care how much students pay for tuition now.
You got your freebie. Now it’s tough luck for the next generation.
Democrats wanted 75%, Trump really failed both parties.
The stimulus spending was necessitated by Trump’s botched federal response to Covid.
The budget was already in ruins after the 2017 tax cut for the wealthy that dramatically increased the deficit.
The stimulus spending to prop up poor red states obviously worked. Even a loser like yourself got through it.

Why would anyone who is not wealthy vote for Republicans?
In 2017 they dramatically cut taxes, including zero inheritance taxes on estates valued up to 13 million, while doing nothing to lower the cost of college for poor and middle class Americans.
In the good ole days, the 1950s and 60s, college tuition was free and the wealthy paid a top tax rate of 90% under Eisenhower and 70% under Kennedy.
Was it socialism to have free college back then? Why is it socialism now?
“Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) welcomed the court’s decision on Friday. “The American people know that the Biden Administration’s student loan socialism plan would be a raw deal for hardworking taxpayers,” he said. “Now that the Supreme Court has rejected the Administration’s position in Biden v. Nebraska, they can know that it’s illegal.”

That's for the SCOTUS to determine, not a licensure board. Banana republic justice.
That’s bullshit. You are such a moron who demonstrates uninformed opinions on everything you comment on. You are a dummy
Ya, Banana Republics are known for having really strong and independent state bar associations.
“A state bar association is a bar association that represents or seeks to represent the attorneys practicing law in a particular U.S. state. Their functions differ from state to state, but often include administration of the state bar examination for admission of attorneys to practice law, regulation of continuing legal education and other requirements, collection and monitoring of attorney client trust accounts, collection of fees and discipline of attorneys for ethical or other violations”

Just one month later, then-Vice President Joe Biden did exactly what those emails specified by visiting Ukraine and threatening to withhold U.S. aid unless the prosecutor investigating Hunter’s cash cow was fired.

Ridiculously flawed legal opinions such as supporting Trump
No, he didn’t file a legal opinion to “support Trump”. He filed an opinion to say it is legal for the Vice President of the United States to reject to electoral college votes submitted by the states. That is a fundamentally flawed legal opinion.

You can say anything you want politically. What you can’t do is bring politics to a court of law. That’s why this guy is going to lose his law license.
Free speech doesn’t apply to court proceedings. In court you are required to tell the truth. That is a nightmare for Republicans.
You are such a dummy to not understand this and to think someone can go to court to express politics.

Mueller exonerated Trump, then the IG said the investigation never should have even happened.
Those are both lies.
What was the meeting in Trump Tower about?
Mueller said, “if we could have exonerated Trump, we would have” He said, the response to Trump’s actions is the responsibility of Congress. Meaning impeachment
The IG at the Justice Department never said Crossfire Hurricane never should have happened. Trump had just fired the Director of the FBI
