In recent years, NSC has become populated with a new influx of outspoken posters. In that, NSC is just like so many other facets of western society, but there are certain events and figures that have empowered them. There has also been a large and secretive funding campaign behind the dissemination of such views. Hopefully most on here will be aware of just who is being referred to, but they've all of a sudden vacated this forum. This is because they're cowards. Perhaps they could be brave enough to step forward and show some contrition; perhaps they might want to repeat the tropes that they've been spreading on here in recent years.

But you reap what you sow. There's plenty of mods on here that have stepped forward and removed or banned certain posters. There is also a number of posters that have challenged their hate speech. They have been very prominent in using free speech arguments to facilitate their hate speech. What happened in Christchurch hasn't happened in isolation. We all need to reflect on the kind of society and the type of forum we want to inhabit.

You are using the same argument as the Islamophobes.
Lets be clear;
Muslims who talk about their dislike for decadent Western society are not responsible for ISIS terrorism.
Westerners who talk about their dislike for Islam (or any other religion) are not responsible for the attack this week.

Good username / post combination.

I've reflected on what kind of society and the type of forum we want to inhabit, and I've decided on a free one, where everyone is free to speak their mind as long as they do not incite violence.

Out of interest what kind of society/forum would you like to inhabit?

Perhaps we could recast mods as "Thought Police", have a "Trigger Warning" prefix for posts, replace thumbsup with "Virtue Points", and add a subforum called "The Safe Space".
