Another thread name calling Trump... whatever he does is wrong in liberals eyes.

He could literally cure cancer and he still would be called a bigot misogynist racist transphobic orange clown by Twitter checkmarks.

Well, him finding a cure for cancer wouldn't change the fact he's a bigot misogynist racist trans-phobic orange clown.

I like you Truck and all but...

If it were any other user saying this it would be ban-worthy.Or at least there would be a warning.Just saying it.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Is there a rule about calling Trump names that I'm unaware of?

Wouldn't it be considered flamming, on a topic that even the mods acknowledge as sensitive?(There is even an official thread made in order to contain it as far as I know)Especially since he used 6 different insults?

Or at least acting in bad faith?At least that's how I see it.Gotta really give the rules a second read.

What I mean is: I have seen people banned for less, and I have receive a warning for less too.

If it were something along the lines of "Trump is someone I can't trust because of all the horrible things he did during his mandate" and give examples, that's ok because then it would be arguing.But this is just slander and baiting in my view, especially since the original user wasn't even responding to no one and wasn't even trying to take a shot at the other candidate.In another words, he came in good faith.

But again, personal opinion. Didn't even report.

Well if we want to take issue with someone bringing this topic into the thread we can blame the post that Truck was replying to.

And Truck's right, Trump can simultaneously cure cancer and be "a bigot misogynist racist transphobic orange clown". These things are not mutually exclusive. Terrible, gross people can do good things and still suck as people. How would curing cancer have an effect on him being a bigot, mysogynist, racist, transphobic orange clown?

Because being that what you just describe is relative, as I personally don't think that he fit in any of those descriptions.And you don't need to use those words to describe a person, especially if you want to have a discussion, a nice conversation about a heated topic. I mean, I could say that any socialist is an idiot, but that wouldn't be productive, would it?

Just to be sure, if calling Trump that is ok, can I go to any other political thread and call Biden, Sanders or any other politician the same thing, without any argumentation or text to speak of, and be ok with the rules?Because that would be awesome.No disrespect to anyone, just making sure.

About the bolded: Well you could, even if he wasn't refering to anyone here especifically, but then you would have to take the issue with the one that not only continued, but doubled down on the problem, don't you guys?Or is it ok for someone to be rude, but not the other?Because if what the original poster wrote was considered baiting/flaiming, well Truck certainly isn't above that.

As Tor said, I was more making fun of the fact that find a cure for cancer doesn't do anything about one's character. Although, I'll admit that I thought Radek's description of Trump was pretty spot on. If me saying that crosses the line, I'll gladly take whatever punishment that comes my way.

I hope people will see how Bernie Sanders leads in times of panic and actually vote for the damn guy. I'm sorry, I'm tired of people throwing away a great opportunity to bring positive change to the United States. Trump and Biden are not answers to problems, but actually the cause of problems.

Fair enough.

Honestly, what I like the most is the bolded.Even if I disagree with you, honesty and consistency is what I like in people.And not being an hypocrite is even better.

No matter what I or others do, at the end of the day I just want this forum to be fair, so that people may hate or love each other in peace.

You are ignoring the point. The point is that one's medical prowess is unrelated to their being any of the things that were described. Tell me how those are exclusive to one another. 

Ask the mod team, that's on them. I've never been one to think that insulting public figures should be out of bounds. I maintain that from when ioi banned people for insulting Michael Jackson after he died. If you're being belligerent and off topic you can get in trouble, but Truck's response was neither of those. 

I don't consider what the original poster wrote as baiting/flaming, I just don't think you can whine about people commenting on the president being a shitty person when you bring it up. I also think the original post being replied to was just a shitty post. A shitty generalization which was never meant to bring forward the conversation. Truck's response was all such a post deserves.
