Let's talk in here.....

Safe+Sound:
Sccit has resorted to moderation control as a way to silence differing perspectives. Interesting choice, especially considering the highly offensive, disrespectful, and yes, even racist comments that have been tolerated here without intervention. It seems using his position to manage what views get to be heard says more about this space than anything I’ve posted.

The essence of moderation is to foster healthy dialogue—not to silence viewpoints you personally disagree with. However, this is a classic hypocrisy those in Sccit's circle embody time and again. My posts have been on-topic and respectful despite Sccit's onslaught of slurs and unhinged racially insensitive behavior. It would be worth reflecting on whether the same standard is being applied to all participants here.

What Sccit wanted was to have the last word. He has no intention of participating in a measured, thoughtful discussion of any kind. His main objective seems to be centered around maintaining some sort of ego-driven ringleader position in the forum that goes unchecked and unchallenged. Once he felt like he was losing control of that, he pivoted several times to different topics in attempts to reagin some ground. When this did not work, he censored me and got his last word. This move shows an incredible amount of weakness - especially when dealing with someone who has maintained respectful dialogue and candor the entire time without hurling a single insult.

i approved this post, even it bough i didn’t have to

you ain’t foolin no one… everyone could see you were completely dismembering the ice cube thread after being asked to stop repeatedly .. and even after the political discussion ended in there, you had the nerve to re-ignite it outa nowhere

most moderators on other forums woulda flat out banned u



that said, my 2 questions for u in relation to the topic title are.. 1.who got your vote? 2.what do u feel about the israel vs hamas war?

feel free to answer … or not. your choice.

Also, i want to discuss the idea that all races and genders have the same experiences

For example, because i'm black, i have the authority to speak on black related matters and history and struggles, even though i may or may not have experienced any of those things, whereas people of other races do not have the authority to speak on such matters.  The assumption is, because i'm black, i have had those experiences.  If i told you i grew up in a very affluent black family, would that change things at all?  (i haven't, but merely as a conversational point).  Could we be self educated enough to be able to speak on a topic without necessarily having to live through it where race wouldn't play a factor? 

Must i be a female to speak on abortion rights?  Does a the opinion of 60 year old female who has been through menopause and has no way of getting pregnant matter as much as a 20 year old female?  Or is she unqualified to speak on the matter?

I see so much being said on only being able to speak or comment on certain things depending on the race of the poster and to me, i think it's more about how educated you are on the subject and less about what race you are.
