Some of us would like to whine and let off steam about forums such as digital spy and other moderately large forums (e.g. mumsnet).
So I'll start and moan about the moderation that sees the DS political forum becoming ever more an echo chamber with FM holding non-extremist views eventually receiving bans (temporary and then permanent).
This time the extremist clique in politics have combined with the DS moderators to get a Biden supporting moderate banned. She (B.) posted some comments saying that it is right to question the WHO actions during the early stages of the Coronavirus Pandemic - and this got her banned.
Because now saying it is right to question the WHO actions is falsely equated as supporting a conspiracy theory. One of the clique that got her banned (J.) is now boasting that he got her banned using this twisted logic and the DS moderators were happy to oblige.
Ps I am not sure I am allowed to name the forum members involved so I have just added the initials.

The woke collective has ruined it for all the decent posters who dared to have an opinion not sanctioned by Hearst - most of the best were booted of the place very quickly indeed once they took over.

I know there is no such thing as complete free speech, on a forum or anywhere else, but people should be allowed to voice their opinions without some despot silencing them if they don't fit in with the majority.

That post I made about the behaviour of Travellers in the main CM forums would have got me an immediate ban Syl.

Some people don't like the truth.
In any case, true or not, that's your own opinion and you are entitled to voice it.

I can see where you are coming from, though I do not completely agree with the post you refer to. I did not was to say that as a FM here hence my Anon guise.

Why would you want to hide yourself just because you agree with what some may feel is a controversial opinion?

A good few of us on forums are not anonymous. We're still here to tell the tale.

If I openly disagree with him, some may as they do on the Dogs twist what is being said. For that simple reason I posted as an Anon as I don't want my friendship jeopardised
or taken advantage of. I never liked him as his previous incarnation but as JD, he is a lovely man.

Not sure what you mean here guesty, I have always posted the same way on DS, Dogs and here.
Only because of the relentless attacks and lies did I retaliate on Dogs, I always did my best to get on with everyone until that was frankly impossible.

I didn't know JD when he was on Dogs as Keyser, I do know that he posts as himself, he doesn't put on an act, like most genuine people what you see is what you get.

I don't see any difference between the two. The forum, the people around you, and the circumstances in front of someone tends to dictate how they post.

You are funny JD and make me laugh, at times and can be very informative and honest when required. Thank you. :-)

I do know him from the Dogs and he has changed. He was treated very unfairly from the posts I recall. He fell out with the wrong people and then a perma ban and IP ban, a IP ban he can't get around. He is better off here as he can hit back those that picked on him over there that is when they come over to bad mouth him.

In the opinion of the above anon. JD is.. the AA guy here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cypq7HOfZ0E
