I'll be honest. I'm treading on dangerous water here.

I don't like IP2. But I feel like people who post these posts need to be banned.

I've seen many other people "Taking Down The Pyramid Of Debate" who have been banned for far less.

It's EXTREMELY obviously that these are NOT people who have SaidIt's best interest at heart. They are just brigaders.

That said. I don't "like" IP2 but I'm very very fine with them having a platform here. If they have a platform here, then these people need to provide some formal level of complaint, which clearly they are unable to.

The Anti-IP2ers need to go.

No. Speaking for myself here but the whole point of this board is that even the most ridiculous observations are put to the public so they can be de-constructed. Censorship of these people would be hugely hypocritical. The less people are afraid to engage, the more people can learn from one another.

That’s fair. And if IP2 has voluntarily taken itself off the front page, these anti-IP2 time wasters should be modded off the front page as well.

I don't think they should be banned, but they should create another sub to post this spam such as /s/ip2whiners so I can mute them like I did with IP2.

Yes, this is what I was getting at. IP2 are respectful of the community. These people come in and shit on the floor.

Again, as an IP2 member, I'm going to be honest with you too:

They are just brigaders.

This part is true to a degree. Some of them do preform brigades. But those who do it, almost always do it for "morally just" reasons. They don't pick on, attack or harass people who are down or are good individuals. They target people who do fucked up shit to others. And again, this isn't all of IP2.

It's EXTREMELY obviously that these are NOT people who have SaidIt's best interest at heart.

This comment is not true. IP2 feels like they like owe SaidIt for allowing them to host their community here. Here are some examples:

"Since Saidit has been good to us all and provided us a new home, we want to bring attention to their Patreon so we can help chip in for the server costs and any upgrades they might need to keep this place going.": https://saidit.net/s/Ice_Poseidon2/comments/2wtb/since_saidit_has_been_good_to_us_all_and_provided/

"Thank you everyone from IP2 and elsewhere for the surge in donations, we can now afford to upgrade our servers!" https://saidit.net/s/SaidIt/comments/2y4v/thank_you_every_from_ip2_and_elsewhere_for_the/

Real my comment again. I’m talking about the anti-IP2ers.

I apologize, I misread. Also, when I comment in these threads, my comments honestly aren't completely directed at the person I'm responding to; I'm trying to address what was said so everyone who reads it understands (which is why I also include references). IP2 is misunderstood in many ways, and this stuff gets annoying so I want to make things as clear as possible and not let these idiots take over when these threads pop up.. It worked on Reddit, and it is easy to make us look bad.. It's not like we don't have our own batch of degenerates.

Agree, no worries. Well said.
