• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

They took Parler off the AppStore

I just don't get. If I don't want to read lib point of view, I just either ignore it (rlott) or just mute em (riding w Biden, 75% of my facebook friends). They can say what they want, and I have no desire to suppress it. I just don't personally subject myself to it.

If you suppress one viewpoint, then your own becomes the only reality. It’s how they will rewrite history from the present back “we have always been at war with east-Asia”
 
Debating can change people’s minds, censorship only alienates them.

You're absolutely right. This is why I think free speech is so important. People should be allowed to express a viewpoint that is wrong and have it aired out so that it can be challenged and confirmed or changed. Otherwise you end up with echo chambers of ignorant people.
