You could get the 'Ask Treeship' thread locked down, but we would have to ask you what you felt about it first, and where would we do that if it's locked down? It's impossible, which is why these kinds of threads shouldn't exist in the first place.

nerdstrom posts with the sole purpose of antagonizing other posters and grinding the thread to a halt
this. i'm glad other people are hitting the button. nerdstrom is an objectively awful poster, and not because he keeps being a complete shithead about my house fire. which by the way, he does with nearly word-for-word retreads of gabbneb's last life as "moo vaughn." so if he's not a sock gabbo set up years ago and recently revived, he's someone else trying to imitate aspects of gabbnism which doesn't strike me as a good-faith attempt to participate in anything. the only reason he hasn't been 51'ed is that 51 is too high a number and a lot of his shit is so boring to read that i think a lot of people just skim past it and aren't registering how intentionally trolly it all is.

Mordy made a good point upthread (not solely because it’s a partial and honestly brave defense of me). A thread for one political candidate where no criticism is allowed? I hadn’t considered how problematic that aspect of it was before.
However that thread was worth it for a slept on moment that I hope you guys didn’t miss in which Whiney assuaged people’s concerns about Bernie’s age by reminding us that Queen Elizabeth is 92 years old.
Now that was an enjoyable moment that only came about as a consequence of a concern I happen to have voiced and would we really want to erase that?

The abuse thread just received upthread is unwarranted, I’ve seen treat everyone with nothing but respect and effectively undermines the case many of you are trying to make here.
Also what’s seen as “trolling” is often just ways of phrasing and tenors that are uniformly spread throughout the board if we are being honest, something seeped into the dna of the place.
We are being arbitrary and unwilling to elevate ourselves if we pretend it’s justifiable to isolate blame in the direction of one guy.

"But here we have teachable moment for all of us. Surrendering to these petty and abusive calls for my removable would be failing the test of this moment."
he pretty much tattooed "I'm as phony as a three dollar bill" on his face.

As with all things, this place is far more agreeable when politics are kept off the table. I've been mulling this over lately, and have come to the conclusion that furiously keeping up with political drama hasn't made me a more ethical person by any stretch of the imagination – once or twice a week is more than enough. That said, I'm pretty sure that nerdstrom was a bona fide troll. Dissenting opinions aren't suppressed by the mods so much as they are drowned out by the eternally self-replicating closet juggalo hivemind.

There was this one time when I lived in a basement apartment and we had like a half dozen friends over on a summer evening and we were just kinda hovering around the open front door gabbing and enjoying some drinks when suddenly this total rando comes from out of nowhere and just like dives over the railing of our steps and struts in like he owns the place, to the baffled stares of everyone in attendance. He thought he was crashing a party but no. I was kinda embarrassed for him and his seeming inability to read social cues. Don't know why I just remembered that anecdote.
