Response to closed thread on misc

Here's my reply to the last part of the thread before it was closed. Sorry for all the BBcode, hopefully you can read it anyway:

[QUOTE=ANumber1;1607992421]Conspiracy theory: Pogue was a Russian Antifa supersoldier planted here by the Clintons twenty years ago to talk us out of wearing masks when the virus was released by the Deep State.

This has all been in the works for a long time. There are Q posts about it.[/QUOTE]

You caught me. I'm a member of the Russian Internet Research Agency. I was actually fired from there for leaving too many anti-Russian threads open and not posting enough links to RT.com.

[QUOTE=KurtMussell;1607993101]Can I have your old platinum Mod shaker cup?[/QUOTE]

Never had one.

[QUOTE=Weezy32;1607993221]So they removed you as a mod because you closed two threads and didnt respond to an email about it for one week? Seems like a messed up thing to do especially for how long you been a mod.


For what its worth i always thought you were a good fair mod and I consider my self a moderate maybe even slight right-leaning conservative.[/QUOTE]

I appreciate your comments. I'm not going to speak about why I got demodded on this platform. However, I may share some more later on Twitter.

[QUOTE=JeepBruh;1607993231]Pogue, the problem was you tried to become the ministry of truth for this site. Whether or not this was intentional or you unconsciously succumbed to your own bias can never be proven.[/quote]

I'd ask you to read what I posted above. You're fully entitled to your opinion, but I think you're wrong. I never pulled any 1984 style of throwing threads I disagree with into the memory hole. I rarely, if ever, deleted threads. There's no way I can prove that to you as you weren't privy to seeing mod decisions, but I generally did one of two things. If I felt the thread was a completely ridiculous conspiracy theory I would close it. Other threads I felt were more appropriate for the R&P section, I moved them there with a redirect so people could see they had been moved.

[QUOTE=JeepBruh;1607993231]However, what I can say is the same excuse you are saying now is the main playbook tactic of what reddit moderators do to transform discussion on their subreddits. Discredit opposing views, while simultaneously promoting your "trusted" sources so that only one version of information is allowed to be discussed.[/quote]

You're seriously getting this whole thing twisted. I am not some Minister of Propaganda that only posted MSM news sources in an effort to indoctrinate people to the thought-police of the MSM. I'm only not even sure which threads you're referring to, but if you can pull them up, I'd be happy to explain my reasoning for taking action against them.

I can tell you I don't trust any of the MSM sources, except when it comes to breaking news. I have a Twitter list that I look at when I want to read the news and it has a variety of sources from the left to the right, wire services, and international news agencies. You're welcome to take a look at it here:

[QUOTE=JeepBruh;1607993231]I believe at one point you had a sticky or maybe a thread of all the "trusted" twitter new sources we should go to for our information.[/quote]

I never stickied it, I just shared it, and you are welcome to take a look at it above. I try and curate it regularly as news sources on Twitter come and go, some vanish, some change format, and some stop spreading legitimate news, and that's when I remove them. You can take a look at the members here below. Keep in mind this is for BREAKING NEWS, not in depth analysis of what's going on. It's just something like if there was a plane crash, I could go there and see what happened and all the details of it.

[QUOTE=JeepBruh;1607993231]Combined with re-labeling thread titles that were used to dismiss the legitimacy of discussions held inside just shows too many red flags for me to not dismiss this wasn't what you were trying to accomplish.[/quote]

Again, this is not some secret plot to indoctrinate people. I think that whole assertion is really ridiculous. I mean, it's really just silly.

[QUOTE=elterrible987;1607993681]
Pogue was fine. I didnt even realize he was a filthy communist this entire time until like a few weeks ago and I was mind blown he never banned me for defending freedom like that cuck iceman.[/QUOTE]

I don't claim to be a communist, but that's neither here nor there. As you can attest, despite my own political philosophy, I don't ban people who have disagreements with me or a completely different point of view.
