Haven’t you noticed? Since the election, with odd names and usually low post counts. They try to stir up shit etc. it is up to this site to control that and not just with a tos/ alert system. I used to be a moderator on a health board. I finally got fed up with all the trolls there because the board never did anything to stop them, so I stopped doing it.

That said I saw support for what was done and also valid criticism. Valid criticism and what that is may be something people disagree on but it should always be allowed on a democratic forum. People who make valid criticism and comments on their opinions should not be scorned and alerted. They need to be listened to and acknowledged imo.

I actually watched the last part of it myself, and I made comments on what I heard. That was in a reply to someone else’s post here. A lot of what the Dems did was not even on camera because of the way this was filmed.
