Forum Overview :: Balance of Power

This is from the stick thread:

Really, what's happening is that I have dramatically redefined what is classified as stupidity. Generally, if you post something that would be comfortable on the MensRights reddit, you probably should go there instead of here, because there's plenty of places to argue about how your privilege is herping the derp and it's not really needed here as well.

If you feel this makes you uncomfortable, I'm sorry.

If you feel this will cause you to leave this forum, I'm sorry.

I'm not sorry enough to change my mind, mind you, but I will regret losing your voice like any unique voice. However, I have had enough feedback from enough people I respect to convince me that in this particular case, a free-for-all libertarian fight-for-your-opinion forum without constraint is no longer appropriate. If you feel that you can no longer post given such constraints, there is about 99.9999% of the Internet that would be glad to have you.

99.9999% percent! What world is Lum living in? Can anyone think of a single unmoderated forum, or one that just lets people talk to each other without a million fuckin' rules? I think it's the opposite. I think over 99% of people need a ten page code of conduct like Lum does.
