maybe the severity of it is to have no ban at all. my interpretation is that it's clearly over the line. as the only mod online now, i've banned him for the time being.

perhaps also a good time to refer to: https://www.intpforum.com/threads/general-rules.7/

outside of this thread where someone suggested that someone should be mutilated - where have you seen this happen?

one is suggesting physical mutilation the other is mockery if you think being mocked is the same as a suggestion of physical mutilation, i can't help you there. flared tempers happen and mockery occurs. i don't consider this to be entirely beyond acceptable so long as it isn't prolonged or...

yes, you can contact @Ragnar

okay so after a huge rant about freedom of speech and these ideas needing to be in the open to be contested, otherwise they will spread more: you want me to take action against Angel for those remarks? but you don't want me to take action against someone for literally suggesting that someone...

alright, i'm going to close this thread because it's just becoming an amplifier of hostility that began from...things that didn't happen i'll leave it open a bit longer. but for the record yes, i think that suggesting someone should be horrendously mutilated is not something that should occur...

why yes, that's exactly what the moderators do btw no, that doesn't mean you can suggest people deserve to be mutilated horrendously and claim "t'was only joking" or "oops i got drunk"

i think the degree of severity between these two things is at least several orders of magnitude. or are you now saying you want us to censor people with different opinions?

ok wishing mutilation on other members is not okay

if there's a problem with your behaviour and a post of yours is deleted or modified, you'll be made aware of it. the only time i'd opt to delete/modify a post and notify someone privately is if the information contained is potentially hurtful/harmful in the first place. things like overt...

the system flags us whenever it thinks a dupe account is made, then we ban it if it's a dupe (it always is)

yes, it's a misunderstanding as i've said to my knowledge nothing of kormak's has been deleted no i'm not going to start trying to track down and message people who leave the forum. if they want to leave information for others to contact them by on other platforms when they leave, obviously...

@Inexorable Username my transparent assessment: kormak left, wasn't banned none of the things you're saying are censored, are being censored

and isn't that what majority of discussion on this site basically is though? there's literally an ongoing thread right now where someone has claimed they believe in racial superiority and that they were once members of known hubs for racists, and they aren't being censored. i can't figure out...

no, angel isn't adaire honestly i'm a little mystified kormak isn't banned, he left. to my knowledge, none of his posts were deleted.

i'm still confused @Inexorable Username are you genuinely saying we should let this site be a platform for racism and bigotry, in the name of 'free speech'? i think you're probably looking for a place more akin to 4chan than an internet forum

@Inexorable Username the idea that racism increases when you deplatform it is one i'm familiar with, and it's a dud stopping the spread of certain types of information make it harder for that information to spread. people don't become more educated when you stop educating them

not really relevant to this topic but, an outdated commitment to 'fairness' as opposed to actual truth is just naive imo

i was actually just responding to the idea that 'extremism can't occur here' but yes, overt racism, sexism or other comparable sentiments will result in a ban here. just like most places really?

probably in the old rules ragnar made an update whereby people can request their account be deleted

yes, it's been tried though and becomes more and more likely the longer that disparate radicals exist. moreover, 'disparate radicals' in the past have made this place very stressful and unsavoury for minorities to frequent. no one wants to frequent a forum where they're routinely likened to...

if only this were true we've had people try to use this forum as a cult recruiting ground as well as people trying to find people's irl locations or harassing female members or some combination of all 3 of these. there have been multiple requests for deleted accounts because people feared...

i think that's the point though?

seems like the test intends to measure moreso how people respond to the given stimulus in the first place tbh or is that too charitable an interpretation of the testers

kind of expected it to be split roughly even, although perfect split on two high scores wasn't makes sense though

well no, it doesn't

both sides of family christmas down and i only called one person a fucking idiot great success!

being the single best predictor of something when all sungular predictors are shit doesn't mean you have a good predictor polished turd is still a turd

racism/sexism persists only in areas where people's qualities are vaguely defined. intelligence is difficult to define, and there's a lot of limitations to its predictive capacity. if you want something from a high shelf, you ask the tallest person in the room. it might be more likely to be a...

wait change it back i forgot to buy milk

people take Nietzsche seriously in 2019?

did you ask if she likes daggers?

this seems more like a diary than a dairy

i play the dums i think the cool thing about learning instruments is that they make you start to hear music in a completely different way as you learn them a worthwhile side hobby for anyone

it's a very advanced toaster tyvm

remember to bend your back and keep your legs straight

Ah I see you're still failing to understand both this discussion and natural selection. Do feel free to point out what you seem to think I'm concluding here, since you're building a nice little strawman apparently.

great, so next we're left with whether or not people may think it's accurate to consider homosexuality's continued occurrence as something determined by selection. a thing that was in contention for a while and something we still aren't quite clear on, but outcome of your specific belief isn't...

So should we take it from the initial post you made that I quote at the beginning of this thread, or do we skip that part?

Correcting inaccurate information is never redundant. And on the contrary, the debates in this thread have been some of the most extensive the forum has seen lately and has even brought actual trained scientists out of the woodwork to comment! It's anything but stifled.

You mean the biology faculties of university websites outlining the basic processes by which NS functions? So I guess this is the part where you go into full reality denial mode?

Just playing the cards you're dealing =) Because you're inexplicably arrogant about something you're clearly incorrect and uninformed about. Remember that my point here is that there need not be an NS-related advantage to homosexuality for the phenomenon to continue to occur. And here you make...

I read a manosphere blog once too.

It's not that it can't be partially genetic in origin at all but what we do know is that if it is, it isn't like selective genetic traits with a simple origin the way that natural selection is typically discussed. The phenomena appears in individuals with great variation in genetic...

@Kormak it doesn't naturally follow that knowing the cause of something means that it's a problem or that it can be treated. We know why many mutations or conditions occur, and many aren't treatable. Moreover, all studies done on homosexuality as it pertains to genetics don't indicate that if...

Or just to keep me cackling maniacally at your arrogant idiocy, please do tell me your definition of natural selection if you aren't up to taking on the big bad universities who are in no position to teach people how evolution works!
