That is exactly what happened.
This is the new cancer - you can't even have a discussion without the uberwoke getting so butthurt they need the thread shut down.

I'm just now finished reading through a news post on Facebook where a few dozen people were laughing and celebrating a BLM supporter being struck and killed by a car during a protest, and now I come here and see this shit.
Everyone is overly sensitive. No one is happy. Anger has long since overridden common sense and decency. We have become a society of irredeemable cunts.

do you consider this thread to be a mature response, subjeff?

Slinging personal insults is a great way to convince people that moderation didn't need to take place. :rolleyes:

The truth of the matter is that no matter how much you don't like cancel culture, you can't cancel cancel culture, because if you cancel cancel culture, you're merely perpetuating more cancel culture.

I really don't see what that has got to do with this. At all.

More than your last response to me in the other thread, yes.

There is no insult here. Can you quote where I insulted anyone?
Really, the closing of that thread was daft. Why was it locked? Some people wanted to talk about what they perceive as problems. I personally feel there is a problem with all this "wokeness" - it's stifling of discussion.
For example I've stated that the law is biased against men when it comes to rape accusations because it objectively and factually is where it comes to anonymity. But people can't handle that and will accuse me of all sorts, Dia posts a tragic story, and dethtoll personifies this entire problem by ignoring any substance and going straight for the man. Wokeness personified.
No one will actually address my concern. Not once.
Yeah, I think Nimesh Patel was a victim of cancel culture on that night and it was ridiculous. You have to be thick as shit to not understand that joke he told and twice as thick to get offended by it.
No one will discuss the fact behind this. It's just dismissed as (let me find it) "i'm not even going to address the rest of your post. much like every other hot take you've had over the years, it's simply not worth addressing." Of course it's not to you, because it doesn't fit your wokeview.

Just illustrating that the internet has become a never ending dogpile of fucky fuckness.

But it doesn't have to be.
Why can't we just discuss things.
Try it.
What do you actually think of the anonymity rules (in the UK at least, don't know about other places) where the accused is named and in the newspapers, but the accuser stays anonymous unless it's proved they actually lied and they are charged?
Just try it.

Well, you know what they say. The first step towards a sincere discussion is to try not to bait people into a thread with a loaded title specifically written to provoke a negative reaction.

It was accurate, though. It's hilariously hypocritical to proclaim cancel culture doesn't exist in one breath, then demand a thread discussing it be locked with the next. If someone doesn't like a thread on a forum, they can just ignore it. Denying everyone else's right to reply is just going to make you look bad and give the impression you don't actually have a counter-argument.
