Everything you just said is wrong.

Try to make a counter-argument.

By "erratic behaviors drive users away" he really means:

Attacking other users as a site admin on a number of occasions.

It [spam] ain't that bad.

It's been worse, agreed.

What he really means by this [the policy of fence-riding] is

Like the word anti-extremes implies, ignoring factors like rightness and morality over simply mounting the fence between two positions, then censoring anything too far from the fence.

Node and the other s/debatealtright idiots want CCP-level censorship

s/debatealtright idiots

Nice example.

Attacking other users as a site admin on a number of occasions.

Which really means: I have unpopular opinions (like banning liquor) that offend snowflake neo-Nazis, so they have to go cry in their safe-space like a commie SJW.

Ohhhhh, that's what you mean. I agree with what you're saying, then, since Magnora7 did ban people and subs for being "too extreme" and I don't think he should'a done that. I thought you meant the opposite: that non-right-wingers should be banned.

Node - you're totally confused, and certainly wrong about several issues in your post. People like you turn people away from Saidit. For example, would any self-respecting person of color want to remain at Saidit, whilst reading your racist idiocy. Saidit can be an interesting place for debate and discussion, because of it's lax policies, but the verbal violence by people like you against others you don't agree with gets old and is really annoying. Some of your concerns about spam I agree with, and have argued in the past that Saidit requires more admins who can help deal with the obvious spammers. But as /u/TheAmeliaMay indicates, snowflakes who merely want to drag the conversation down are a serious problem at Saidit. Merely buck up and get on with the discussion, as you've done in part of your post.

    Sorry abou that. Sometimes I think Node and others are only here to rant and be assholes, as if they have a mental illness and use Saidit as a cathartic avenue. Some of these people are also quite active on the site. One could remind Node that in Nazi Germany, one could be sent to the concentration camps and die there because they had similar "anti-social" mental illnesses. I've said before that Saiditors shouldn't throw stones in glass houses, because a "free speech" site should be the most tolerant of the broadest selection of voices (lunatics included). Silly me.

    The Node account is a paid social media influencer whose job is to disrupt and demoralize the site's users.

    As if someone could pay me enough to become an employee... You, on the other hand, are the definition of a paid poster.

    You consistently and deliberately act in a manner to disrupt the site. I'm just some guy who posts.
