It just bothers me how childish Reddit and other websites had gotten. It's awful to see how moderators for many sites side with one group and basically get rid of you to appease them. Why the fuck do you go on the internet just to talk in an echo chamber? That's fucking boring.
I'll be honest, I'm mostly conservative, but I do not support gun rights. If I was a mod on this board, I would not fucking ban anyone for supporting guns. You have the right to your opinion. That's what this country was founded on. We're not supposed to be some tinpot dictatorship where people are executed for looking at the leader the wrong way! The problem with reddit, Facebook, Twitter, and numerous other shitty sites is that they are run by man-children who do not understand they are running a business. You're not Vladimir Putin, trying to consolidate his power and control the populace, you're running a freaking message board. When you start banning people for disagreeing with you, it's the end for your site. It's over. One day, it's an annoying troll, the next, it's some guy with common sense, the next, it's a longtime member of the board who starts criticizing the color of the template.
I can understand racism and violent comments, but nannying people for name-calling and suspending/banning them for criticizing minorities? That's fucked up and has to stop.The whole "black people/Muslims are saints who can do no wrong" is bullshit and has to stop.

Are you saying that you essentially support slavery?
