New Banning Policy
I will be banning people a lot, going forward.
Here is the sort of comment that is no longer allowed: An insult lodged out of the blue at a commenter, a coblogger, or myself, based on nothing except political disagreement with something that person said. The proper response to an argument or statement you don't like is a counter-argument or correction -- not a personalized attack. Criticism is fine, but note that in criticism, ideas are discredited, not the person offering the idea. Some people seem incapable of doing that, or too lazy or ill-informed to try, so they launch into the personal attack pre-emptively. In some cases, there is what I would call an "organic" fight, where two people get into it little by little, each gradually getting meaner and meaner. This will not be cause for banning, but just for a caution to take it down a notch. Unless someone jumps way, way up without provocation. That will be taken as an out-of-the-blue insult, and reason for banning. This is largely a problem of n00bs who warp in because they see us linked somewhere; but I'm announcing the policy to them anyway, so they won't whine when they're permabanned. In addition, there are some assholes here who are incapable of having anything resembling a civil discussion; any disagreement is quickly met with the only argument they know: "Well you suck." I have let the assholes fester here far too long; I intend to make up for lost time with rapid-fire serial banning. I am tired of being afraid to speak my piece on my own website for fear of the drive-by assholes attacking me out of the blue; I imagine many of you are as well. This was once a place for actual discussion; it will be again. And I will ban those assholes who are incapable of behaving like elevated, educated, thinking people. You're too "angry" to discuss things? Don't give a fuck; not my problem. You're banned. You super-like Trump and you just can't abide someone who has a less enthusiastic opinion than you? Don't give a fuck; not my problem. You're banned. You're super anti-Trump and need to shower the Trump people with all your frustrations that he's winning in the polls? Don't give a fuck; not my problem. You're banned. The assholes will be banned in short order. There will not be argument about this. I know for many low-functioning individuals, simply attacking people for something you disagree with is a political argument; some low-thinking, low-character people have never actually had a real discussion, and actually are so ignorant as to think a personal ad hominem, dropped on a stranger out of the blue, is an "argument." Well, I don't have time to educate you; your daddy should have done that. Take it up with his wayward ignorant ass. Your problems are your problems, and your problems alone; your emotional problems and angry outbursts will no longer be acceptable blog fodder here. If this blog is too fast for you -- if people making arguments you might disagree with is just too painful for your mind to take -- well, there's lots of other blogs on the web; I suggest you try one that's more your speed. We here are pretty good commenters, and pretty good at discussion and at repartee; we're not going to be dragged down to a sub-moron level simply because that's the only level at which a sub-moron feels he can participate in a Real Life Political Discussion. These are the rules, and they will be enforced. Adjust your behavior accordingly.Comments

This is a left-wing style move. If someone is an idiot, that reflects poorly on them. Let speech go where it may, no need to get the authorities (i.e. you and cobloggers involved). And if you can't take a mean internet comment, come on.

Insults and shouting at each other is terrible for an intellectual debate, we all agree. But to randomly issue bans based on subjective criteria, you're killing of speech. You know this, deep down.
The only harm the insults cause is to the person issuing them. It destroys whatever credibility or respect they have. The person being insulted doesn't suffer at all, unless his or her ego is so fragile that an anonymous internet comment upsets them. Come on. For someone who rags against SJW, you seem quick to adopt their tactics once a few people get rude with you and your co-bloggers.
Let speech be free.

If you cannot abide by such a simple rule -- STOP INSULTING PEOPLE JUST BECAUSE YOU DISAGREE -- you might consider thinking about that.

Ace concludes with, "These are the rules, and they will be enforced. Adjust your behavior accordingly."
Now here's a "Can God make a rock so big he can't lift it"?-style conundrum question:
What if we crudely insult the trolls whom we think should be banned for insulting people baselessly?
Example:
Sir Trolls-a-Lot comes on AoS and says, "Fuck all you cuckservative Trumpophobes! Damn you to hell!"
Is it now taboo for us to say to Sir Trolls-a-Lot in reply, "Take a long walk on a short pier, you rapscallion!" Will that earn us a banning too?
Posted by: zombie at August 26, 2015 09:00 PM (jBuUi)
wrong. it destroys the whole vibe of the comments, and people are fucking afraid to speak their mind for fear of being abused.

I actually kinda support this policy. I trust well enough that you're not just going to ban me because after a big back and forth with someone that spans multiple comments of argument I say "oh, come on, now you're just being stupid."
At the same time, if you're going to enforce it (And I've spent time as an enforcer on large forums) know your weak spots as it were.
The next gabe thread is going to be a bloodbath.
Hell the next DrewM thread will be a bit like the Alamo.

no i specifically said that what is bannable is the unprovoked insult. where it's provoked, it's either grounds for a caution (hey guys, take it down a notch) or grounds for actual approval (if it's a troll; trolls are scum).
Just make sure it's an actual troll okay? Some trolls are well known. But don't assume someone with an off-key opinion is a troll.

1, no it's not, it's about constant complaints about how the site sucks now because of people who think constant nasty insults are witty repartee, and 2, it's frankly about myself.
I cannot say anything without some asshole deciding that because I have criticized trump, it is now fair game to insult me personally.

(Bites tongue, because this is an obvious situation calling for name-calling!)
My only complaint is that I just spent some time reading through a bunch of stuff that seems like it ought to obvious, and left me wondering what the policy was BEFORE.
If somebody is just hurling insults, they're not adding to the discussion - they're deterring it - and they're what's called a "troll". It's not only the RIGHT of the proprietor of a meeting to place to take steps to maintain the atmosphere they're going for, but it's actually their OBLIGATION.
I prefer to "let the trash take itself out", myself, but I can see how that really wouldn't work effectively here. I trust our esteemed host - one of my personal heroes - to take the trash out for us. (Which is "nice of me", since I don't get a vote!)

ace, of course I've seen some of the stuff you'd just as soon do without in the comments, but like I assume many regulars I learn to ignore/scroll past the worst stupid stuff. But I've missed the main problem you cite, the bolt-from-the-blue ad hominem nonsense.
We've long had the likes of adjoran and trumpetdaddy (just to pick two I can remember off-hand) who drop in late to threads and usually dump scorn of a non-substantive nature while exhibiting that distinctive Beltway combo of great arrogance without any apparent basis in wisdom or experience. Though even both of those guys have occasionally made normal and even humorous contributions.
I hope you're not burdening yourself and the cobs here with a difficult referee's job. Sort of like being the ref in a recreational hockey league with lots of idiots, having to hand out punishments and deciding "who started it" to get it right.

I feel your pain and we the readers are still a little frustrated with the current state of affairs. We have the persistent trolls and MooMoo polluting the threads to the point that they are unpleasant to read AND we also have posts getting disappeared under suspicious circumstances.
It seems to me that in the past when there was a thread pulled due to enstompening the pulled thread usually got reposted again after a reasonable delay.
No justice for WeirdDave, no peace.

The thing is, no one is obligated to read anything i write of course; you can comment without reading hte post.
but if you're going to take me task, especially with an insult -- well, it sort of would be better if you read the actual thing you're pretending you're arguing with.
If you want to *generally* dispute a claim not really having to do with me, do so with my best wishes, but don't pretend you read the piece when you didn't. Don't pretend you're responding to me when you're clearly just responding to whatever dumb article you assumed I wrote.

Just a suggestion.
If you genuinely don't know why the WeirdDave threads were pulled, you might want to pull a string with the COBs.
Maybe 99% of threads are pulled because of stomping someone else thread.
But, 100% of the WeirdDave threads do not fit that category.

Thing is, ace, I really enjoyed your comment-fu and especially your gift of profane vituperation in a couple recent threads, that Megyn/Donald one, and another one, I forget. Where you b-slapped the stupid commenters (most were unknowns) for not engaging what you actually wrote. If these idiots are banned, we will not be able to enjoy the beat-downs. So there's that.
And just to get all the sycophantic slobber out atone time, boss, I've really generally enjoyed your mixing it up in the comments lately.
And I think the Buzzion thing is a perfect example of what you and the others have created here - I mean alively witty place with a damn good inventory of inside jokes.

Posted by: Jeb Bush at August 26, 2015 09:37 PM (zvpUy)
Just a suggestion.
If you genuinely don't know why the WeirdDave threads were pulled, you might want to pull a string with the COBs.
...
i know why. I'll explain.
The cobs know I don't want to be bothered on weekends. They are looking out for me. They are doing me a huge favor by doing that.
Dave keeps writing pieces that are a little bit in the Judgment Call category. The cobs, not wanting to bother me, make the simplest call they can make: they pull the piece.
This is like dealing with lawyers; if you've dealt with lawyers, you know they always want to tell you "yeah don't do that," because it's the simplest possible thing to say.
Now, bear in mind, they are all UNPAID VOLUNTEERS, so don't hold it against them that on the weekends, when THEY have the days off too, they don't feel like editing/vetting/debating a piece's suitability.
I have told dave that I will personally review his pieces but during the week, not on weekends, wehn I don't mind working so much.
But weekends are a time for me to take off, and the coblogs too. Just none of us want to do all this WORK on the weekend debating this or that part of a post.
It's very simple: this results in us doing more weekend work than we want to do.
But like I said, I'll review his pieces during the week. Just not on weekends. I want to unplug on weekends, and the coblogs don't want to be micromanaging the site either. They want things to go smooth and easy.

IMHO a big part of the "moderation" here consists of the commenters themselves who will jump all over trolls and drive-bys who try to get away with the kind of crap that infests a lot of other sites.
These have not been safe waters in which to troll patently dumb-ass ideas. Combined with the ban hammer of Ace and the Cobs, the witty and aggressive commenters have made this place a relatively "safe space" for . . . um . . . our kind.

But then I told him I was his father.
Screwed it up, though, because I just wrote, "I am your father."
Stairway headslapped myself when I realized I had missed one of the best tee-ups in a long while. Shoulda wrote, "Loop! I am your Fah-zsher!"

This is a left-wing style move. If someone is an idiot, that reflects poorly on them. Let speech go where it may, no need to get the authorities (i.e. you and cobloggers involved). And if you can't take a mean internet comment, come on.
Sad to see you sink to this level ace. Let speech be free.

No. It is the right policy. Once upon a time there were fabulous discussions and debates in the threads. At the least, there was a modicum of respect apparent even among those who did not agree. That is no longer the case. Long-time commenters have moved away from AOS due to this fact.
At one time, mocking of the offenders would resolve the issue, but folks are no longer satisfied with that approach.

out of the blue at a commenter, a coblogger, or myself, based on nothing
except political disagreement with something that person said.
Just so I'm clear, I'm still going to get fucked, right?

bad commenters drive out good ones. Every site in the world discovers this
Arguable. The sites with the tightest rules typically have the least interesting and contributive commenters -- LGF and such. While the Chans seem to do surprisingly ok with an almost completely open anonymous system.
Now Discus sites, such as NRO -- that's the pits. Along with upvote sites like Redit and Huffpo.

I read pretty much every post you write and rarely take time to read the comments simply because they're so fast moving and seems like a total free for all. I agree that if someone is just posting a bunch of retarded "fuck u douchebag u suck balls"| kind of crap they need to go.. I guess I just disagree with framing it like conservatives can't handle an angry/abusive comment on a website. I suppose I don't have an emotional investment in the comment community so my feelings have never been hurt.. Regardless, the places I do comment frequently, I either decide a comment is worth responding to, or simply overlook it.. I don't get butthurt and I've been the target of a tremendous amount of "abuse".. I simply don't dish it out, and don't care.

This is a small l libertarian blog at heart, but you assholes just don't get it. You come and shit here because Ace runs a no -registration policy. I'm here for that reason too. It's a bold man what runs a no-reg blog. A big-balls pirate of a blogger. I have donated in the past and will continue to do so long as the place remains free.
I've also been around long enough to watch Ace absolutely explode and then come to his senses about banning and commenting. Which I suspect will occur here again later in the week.

The goal is to make it socially painful to express a non-approved idea; some of the Trump supporters are trying to do just this, to make it socially painful to express an anti-trump sentiment here, by pouring abuse on whoever speaks one, thus making him keep silent, as well as any other people who witness it.
Well, it worked too well, to the point where I discovered I was saying things ON TWITTER I was too dissuaded to say ON MY OWN FUCKING BLOG.
Then one day I woke up and said "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS BULLSHIT?" and like that, I decided I would force the migration in the other direction.
Spirited debate is fine; so is supporting Trump. I half support him myself. (You might not know that, because I keep trump commentary to twitter, because i've learned I cant' talk about trump on my own blog.)
But this idea that we are going to BULLY AND HECTOR PEOPLE INTO SILENCE is not a form of debate; it is the fascist's idea of stifling debate.
It will no longer be tolerated. And I don't just mean the Trump people (though they were the straw that broke this camel's back); I mean the trump-baiters, too.
Anyone who takes someething to a personal place that doesn't need to be in a personal place.

I know for many low-functioning individuals, simply attacking people for something you disagree with is
a political argument; some low-thinking, low-character people have
never actually had a real discussion, and actually are so ignorant as to
think a personal ad hominem, dropped on a stranger out of the blue, is
an "argument."
Well, I don't have time to educate you; your daddy should have done that. Take it up with his wayward ignorant ass.

Agreed.

I must admit to being confused.
After the trump/kelly dust up, it seemed like trump was getting soft hit by select shows. I think what he did was very calculated.
But ace's conclusion from this, was allahpundit's ultimate conclusion (although AP gave more cred to the "calculated" theory - he appears to be coming around on trump like ace is)
Which is that neither side benefits from all out war. I think trump was signaling that he noticed what they were doing and wasn't happy.
What really really bothers me was how ailes was pro-trump and then word came out to take trump out and now detante. I have no illusions of press bias, but to actually structure coverage like that, in meetings, designating x person to be protrump and y person to be antitrump is very wrong and scary imho.

This new policy will be interesting in its enforcement. The trick is gonna be seperating the purely personal attack ("you're a poopyhead") from the rebuttal targeting motive ("your position on X is disingenuous, because you are really supporting Y").
Not all people argue from a logical position. Sure, it may seem that way on the surface, but they argue from the heart in most cases, from the ideology. So anyone, even Ace, can think he's commenting from logic, but really its just his own bias, or POV, or emotional reaction.
The Left does this all the time - they wrap their self-worth in their politics, or ideology, and when it's challenged, IN ANY WAY, and they can't rebut it, they lose their mind and start personal attacks because even though their politics or "logical" position was attacked, they take it as a personal attack on the core of their being because the political is personal for them. There is no separation.
They take a position, usually not well thought out and then believe it makes them a "good" person, or smart, or caring. Then someone comes along and blows it out of the water with a well-done rebuttal. The type that leaves ya speechless. And it HURTS because it hits ya where you live. How many people can say "wow, you're right, I need to reconsider my stance" when hit with that? Are you that mature?
You can imagine this in any abortion thread, or religion thread. Ace makes some comment about no need for God for morality, and a bunch of people chime in with really good rebuttals, and Ace gets pissed off because it hits him where he lives. Or to be fair, vice versa.
I've seen that played out in some of the comments recently - if person A says something about person B's position, or motives, and Person B LOSES. THEIR. SHIAT. In one post. Well, it looks like a bull's eye, doesn't it?
Case in point, when running through the comments on a recent Trump/Kelly thread after work, someone made a slick, quick sarcastic LOL comment about Ace white-knighting for Kelly, and in ONE post, Ace lost his shit. I mean, personal insults, fuck you, go to hell, the whole she-bang-a-bang, like a bi-polar swing. Now if Ace had said nothing', I'd'a thought nothin'. But the fact that it only took one post to get that response tells me, as a trained lawyer, that that commenter hit the nail on the head, as you always catch the most flak when you are over the target. It reminded me of being in 6th grade, where a boy ran to help a girl he liked, and the kids yelled "Timmy loves Julie, Timmy loves Julie!", and Timmy throws a fit and says "I do NOT!". Because Timmy got hit where he lived.
That comment in question wasn't very insulting, just comically direct, and he lost his cool. He who loses control, loses, and that tells me as much about Ace as it does his trolls.

Browbeating and verbal intimidation are used to squelch political speech. It is not political speech, it is one step short of violence.

give a shit about civil discourse, he just didn't want to anyone to see
facts that contradicted his narrative. Whole topics were marked
out-of-bounds. Today, he would probably be banning anyone who mentioned
there were Top Secret emails on Hillary!'s wiped bathroom server. Ace

Now, someone would have to take it to court. Congress could do the same by law, of course, but Preezy could start the process on his on, via EO. This would get the ball rolling.
That Judge Posner actually suggested something like this to force the issue.
But the take away point is has been executive branch policy to accept the anchor baby interpretation of the 14th.

I notice posts that have Ace's name on them.
If this policy ends both types of comments, I'm fine. As near as I can tell, even though I was on Trump's side of that argument, Ace never called me a faggot -- but he sure did call a lot of people faggots.
If it only ends the ones that don't have Ace's name on it, fine. It's your blog to destroy. I'll move on, just like I've moved on from plenty. My unsolicited advice is simply to be careful, and err on the side of mercy. Beams and motes, you know.

Unpopular opinions being shouted down and the speaker of such harassed.
Browbeating and verbal intimidation are used to squelch political speech. It is not political speech, it is one step short of violence.
There shouldn't be a limit on speech, yet civil society demands one. A civil person self-regulates.

That comment in question wasn't very insulting, just comically direct, and he lost his cool. He who loses control, loses, and that tells me as much about Ace as it does his trolls.
whatever. I've heard the dumb litany from you-all enough: You're white knighting, you hate women (with Palin), you want to join the cocktail circuit, you really support Jeb...
you have a series of very dull-minded insults you drop on someone personally rather than taking issue with what they actually said. I say "Kelly is a journalist, it's her job to get into Trump's face," you-all come back with "You're just white-knighting for you because you want to get into her pants/you want to Signal Your Value to the Establishment."
Some of you are simply incapable of doing anything but this, and you yourself here seem to think that "You have bad motives for what you're saying" seems to be some kind of very telling argument about the subject at hand.
No, it's just yet another insult, from the same gaggle of low-iq morons who have about six insults they just repeat over and over and over and OVER again.
Shit, half of this shit is stuff you heard from ME.
Why don't you try crafting actual rebuttals to statements instead of deploying your scary-smart list of six personal motive-questioning smears (half of which, again, you stole from me anyway)?

I note that you have a somewhat more generous assessment of the candidate's character and trustworthiness than I.
I would never seek to besmirch your good name and incidentally, call down the banhammer on myself, by somehow suggesting that you are fcuking retarded for your lack of judgment and discernment, given the multitude of documented instances where your candidate has taken positions that are, shall we say, somewhat at odds with not only conservative positions, but his own recently stated positions on just about everything.
So shall we just agree to disagree? Let's just refrain from calling anyone any disagreeable names, such as Trump Hater, TDS Sufferer, GOPe Tool, RINO Demon Sheep, or whatever.

I would find it disappointing if he truly no longer wants the well-meant slaps of people who are obviously his fans.

Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo at August 26, 2015 10:16 PM (Zu3d9)
I've started my own blog, that "threat" is empty to me.
I'm threatening the only thing I can -- that I'll stop reading. I know that the vast majority of readers are lurkers, not commenters, like on every site, and when one says he's going to quit, hundreds or thousands are there not saying it but just doing it.
Again, and even-handed policy will be fine. But there's a real disparity of power here that hasn't been handled well in the last few days.

and someone said "are the arms of a plumber"
"ripped off a droid's arms in 3 seconds flat"
etc etc and since they had said equating her eminence to Lt Worf was an insta ban I broke out the "loved her playing center for the knicks" routine....
recall this was in a period the leftoids there calling for Sarah palin to be gang raped and not getting banned....

Not to attack your motive, but where were you in the '80s?
LPRs, being under the 'jurisdiction', have had 'anchor babies' for over a hundred years, but then again, LPRs are legal permanent residents and their greencard is their US passport. The idea that non-LPRs kids being citizens is newer than everyone running for el Presidenta today.

---Wow, thanks for proving me right. In one post.For someone who chides people for not reading what you write, you sure do that a lot yourself. I myself never cracked a joke about you knighting for her, I simply mentioned one that did that I laughed at. So I can't laugh at it? I can't see that exchange and make a connection to my own experiences in my life? That is now considered a personal slight in and of itself? Wow, good luck enforcing that edict.If you can't laugh at yourself, you are gonna burn out early. I laugh at myself all the time, especially my own foibles. It helps me to fix them.
As for ascertaining "motive", I will give you a personal example of where I changed my perception of this site - for YEARS there's been a back and forth over the Republicans being all show, lying to us for votes, screw em, vote third party, etc, etc. This site is a good example of that debate. And then there came a day where you, Ace, wrote a well written post about how you'd finally come around and accepted the Republicans were selling us down river, after they did so for like the 1,000th time. I think this was right after the recent election. And in doing so, you admitted that you, yourself, felt that way, but said the exact opposite for years, and opposed us Republicans haters on principle and "carried the Republicans water". In other words, it came off as you, too, admitting your fronted to us, all of us, defending a party you yourself had abandoned. I can remember being somewhat shocked at the admission. I never looked sideways at you or your motives until that point.

I HAVE attended a Hoosier wedding before. No bridesmaids, no drunkfest.
On the upside, they are still married after, lo, these many years.
Congratulations HR!
If the pattern holds, we may not see so much of you here after that, but for you that may a good thing.

I read the posts. Every so often I read the comments. Even more rarely do I make a comment myself. This is for three reasons: 1) My life is way too busy to keep up, 2) I don't know the inside jokes (see reason #1), and 3) The comments are often crowded with trollish dickwads that spout nonsense and enrage me to the point where I want to spout nonsense as well.
I know that this won't get me a ban, as I am making an actual point and my insults were not unprovoked... trollish dickwads are always provocateurs ;-)
Thanks for the awesome site, Ace! I enjoy your posts, all the Cobs, and the Podcast as well.

Any thing other than a binding contract of some sort (and even then possibly not) nothing can prevent him from deciding to run as 3rd party and justifying it to his fans. (who probably wouldn't need much justification.)
Plus, what does Trump get by promising such?
Nothing of value that I can see if he gets on the primary ballot. Now if they can keep him off enough primary ballots to reduce his delegate score then perhaps a promise might have some value to him. But if they manipulate the process further and attempt to keep him out at the convention, he has zero reason for not going 3rd party.
(I have no clue what the requirements there are as far as timing and signatures to get on a Presidential election ballot so there's that to consider as far as Trump's time line for deciding to go 3rd party or not.)

I don't know. I think it really depends on how far Hillary falls...and I think she's going to fall all the way out of the race.
That would leave Sanders, O'Malley, and Biden. If Barry throws all this weight behind Biden, things could go sideways for us in a hurry.

This is a standard tool of these low-thinkers; deploying memes they've heard from other people (me, ironically enough, oftentimes).
They employ them indiscriminately. Any time someone disagrees with you, it's time for one of those Smart Insults you've heard someone smarter than you using.

The two major parties have made it a lot harder and more expensive than it was 25 years ago.

LPRs, being under the 'jurisdiction', have had 'anchor babies' for over a hundred years, but then again, LPRs are legal permanent residents and their greencard is their US passport. The idea that non-LPRs kids being citizens is newer than everyone running for el Presidenta today.
Posted by: Burnt Toast
I grew up in Texas in the '50s when operation wetback was in force. Illegals fled though there really weren't that many to be a problem--at least in Texas. Everyone knew someone who was here illegally even those that had children born in the USA but there were constant PSAs where "Aliens" were warned to continue to register or be removed so they took their kids and left. Because I was raised in that atmosphere I always misunderstood the "jurisdiction" question as I think most of the Country has for decades.
That was my point. Anchor babies account for something like every 12th birth in the USA these days. I'd like to see the practice stop.

that really the anchor baby thing is a construct from a single early

interview with Cruz who seemed to back that up and he is quite the
lawyer.
Posted by: Daybrother at August 26, 2015 10:24 PM (qFW3b)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Not to attack your motive, but where were you in the '80s?
LPRs, being under the 'jurisdiction', have had 'anchor babies' for over a hundred years, but then again, LPRs are legal permanent residents and their greencard is their US passport. The idea that non-LPRs kids being citizens is newer than everyone running for el Presidenta today.
Posted by: Burnt Toast at August 26, 2015 10:40 PM (NaeCR)
Sorry for the long copy and paste, but it's pertinent.
I went through consular training in the late 1980's, and that was part of regulation-any non US citizen who gave birth in the US, their kid was considered a US citizen. It meant that we had to evaluate B/1 B/2 visas for pregnant non-US cit women. Specifically, we had to determine when they were due to give birth, and issue (or not issue) the visa based on the due date. Now, granted, it's been 27 years since I took ConGen 1, but based on the state of the State department recently, I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is one area of regulations they are happy to enforce.
Also, this is ace's house. He can make the rules. I'm really sorry if I screwed up before-I won't do it again.

I'm just amused. I rarely read him, but things were slow elsewhere. I had to drop by just to celebrate the sheer irony of Ace complaining about being personally attacked. It's like Megan Kelly hating on the "War on Women" and then using it to attack Trump (who I don't even like). I don't think personal attacks on the writers or other commenters on the right should be allowed. It's bad policy to have just invective as comments. But seriously, one has to not do it themselves or risk being seen as, at best, inconsistent.
Posted by: dagny at August 26, 2015 11:02 PM (AjoTQ)
What if I say "Only a complete douche would agree with ace's views because history shows that Donald Trump is the One True Messiah"?
Is that hunky dory?
_
Is there a 'wit-coefficient' that you apply?
If I say respond to Trump supporter "You're not just carrying Trump's water, you're carrying his vinegar and water, you douche"
Would that be okay?

i'm going to be honest -- i don't even know who you are.
Therefore, when you imply I've insulted you, I'm thinking you're one of those people who take a statement like "Trump is an unserious politician" as an indirect insult on yourself (the implication that you are therefore unserious).
Many people seem to want to take their Fake Outrage and Offense anywhere they can get it.
I don't know who the hell you are, so this apparent relationship we're having, in which you are the abused party, seems to me to be likely hallucinated.
So we'll see going forward if it's true that i insult you, or if you are one of the myriad Offense Takers who decides that my statement that Palin is not qualified to be president is somehow, in your imagination, an attack on you and, who knows, possibly your family and religion as well.

When this all started I was like Trump is a rodeo clown, he is doing some things of value lets recognize that and then he will flame out. I honestly thought the debate was the end of his road.
And here we are.
I was a Walker guy but he lost me. And that's because he pales in comparison to Trump. Wow, is that a revelation.
I am not bandwagonning but the guy is starting to win me over which maybe makes me an East European supermodel but there it is.

That was just Brennan's opinion, just him talking, it was not in the majority opinion that counted as "what the Supreme Court says".
There is no ruling on where illegals babies are "under the jurisdiction" per the 14th. That question would have to itself be litigated.
Congress hasn't said anything, either, it's the executive that just gives automatic citizenship to illegal babies born here. The president can thus issue an executive order stopping the practice. He couldn't stop it for legal residents, as the Court has ruled on that, and he would have to follow who the law, as written by Congress, says must be a citizen.
But according to that piece, there is nothing like that which requires the executive branch to give citizenship to newborn illegal babies.
Once the EO to stop it was issued, it would immediately be challenged by the SJW lawyers and the courts would then decide the issue.

I don't disagree: Trump, to his credit seems to be the coffee shot most people on our side of the fence want, but since at least half the field is realistically viable as candidates, and HALF of that half enough to warrant early enthusiasm, that's why I prefer to stay neutral on his candidacy.
Hard for me to believe that he flipped on a dime so fast and went from "Businessman that donated for access to everyone" to staunch Conservative...not saying he *couldn't* but it may be a wee bit more believable if he ran for an easier office, like say Gov of NYS or even Mayor of NYC.
Like it or not, he's going to have to have to work with a Congress that's in place if he won office in 2016...he can't fire them like on TV, and I think the nation as a whole has had enough of "Rule by Fiat" by a vainglorious figurehead.

dagny
i'm going to be honest -- i don't even know who you are.
Therefore, when you imply I've insulted you, I'm thinking you're one of those people who take a statement like "Trump is an unserious politician" as an indirect insult on yourself (the implication that you are therefore unserious).
Many people seem to want to take their Fake Outrage and Offense anywhere they can get it.
I don't know who the hell you are, so this apparent relationship we're having, in which you are the abused party, seems to me to be likely hallucinated.
So we'll see going forward if it's true that i insult you, or if you are one of the myriad Offense Takers who decides that my statement that Palin is not qualified to be president is somehow, in your imagination, an attack on you and, who knows, possibly your family and religion as well.

Nah ace. It's real or at least partly real. You gave her a warning for a comment you viewed as ambiguous towards being racist. You even said it likely wasn't how she meant it but it could be taken as that. And so she left and has been carrying a grudge against you for years because you haven't apologized for this slight that you didn't even really commit.

I've mentioned being Scot-Irish (among many other things) before, mine are a spiteful people. The ability to spite the backstabbers by voting for the candidate they're afraid of has an undeniable appeal to me.

If this "Dagny" that posted is the same person that was a regular here for years, this has nothing to do with Donald Trump. Rather, you threatened her with a banning for a joke she made about another commenter saying something inappropriate (frankly). She took it personally (I think this was in 2013 or early 2014), and has been gone since.
A lot of commenters come and go, and that's life. I know of several that just left because of the frankly obnoxious PERSONAL tone of other commenters when there was a disagreement.
I hope this is where your policy is going. Sure, there is obnoxious banter between people here that are familiar with each other, but that is different than bluntly insulting someone for a disagreement. Which is where your policy appears to be going.
I disagree with some of your opinions and comments (so what a big deal that is, huh?) but calling the blog proprietor rude names is kind of beyond stupid. We all recall the gentleman who had a nic resembling a Chevy SUV, and how that went.
I wish we could get back to some of the funnier and wittier banter that existed 5-6 years ago. Or do we go to "The Hostages"?

I'm not very coherent tonight or I would have added that I got that stat through a Breitbart link that I now don't have (sorry) and did not stress that my issue is that the present admin welcomes the anchor baby and is actually flying in extended family now from their native Country so that 1 anchor baby = 8 "immigrants". This is a weird twist on the legal visa path mentioned above by moki and a deliberate invasion aided and abetted by our elected leaders. I thought it was interesting that the "jurisdiction" thing was pointed out by Cruz as I actually learned something. As the the original poster noted it is the Executive Branch that is creating this issue. I actually read elsewhere, don't know if it is true, that 30% of the population of El Salvador now lives in the USA.

What's to complain about?
Posted by: ace at August 26, 2015 10:49 PM (dciA+)
----
I'm not complaining, or insulting. I'm stating an observation. If I wanted to launch insults, it would be clear. You wouldn't have to deduce it.
I've lurked for YEARS both for the posts and the comments, and I raise my brow at how quickly you will write off someone "like me" that who simply disagrees with you and takes the time to explain why. Isn't that what you want? I'm in no way special, but I have read your blog and directed others to do so for years, and you're ready to "file papers" over one dispute? I explained something you wrote that gave me pause and why it did so - you don't have to apologize for it, but doing the brush off over it isn't very sporting.
There is a world of difference between insulting someone simply to get a rise out of them, or to hurt them, and challenging their position well enough to make them look bad.
This is best seen in talk radio - a radio host is not going to allow a caller to out-argue them or make them look bad - no matter how well-reasoned the caller. If the host looks bad, you are getting hung up on 'cause the host wants to keep hostin'. But that's the rub - hanging up on the caller doesn't protect the host's ego - it just exposes it. The listeners know when the host was bested, and he'd be better off just admitting it. Neal Boortz used to do that all the time.
It's your blog, but you rely on clicks to keep yourself in the Valu-Rite and Kaboom, and you have a lot of followers that pretty dam smart, informed and blunt. That's what makes this blog what it is. And that isn't always gonna be pretty, debate and discussion on the issues you address never is.
Don't let this policy become an excuse to hang-up.

I don't understand that type of thinking.
I like a lot of things. Does that make all of them "Conservative" things?
Frankly assuming that I like someone makes them identical to how I label myself or generally my positions is very limited thinking. If it could be called thinking at all.
And where does it say that because Trump is up in the polls that somehow we "trust" him more or "believe" he's going to do what he says he's going to do?
It's like people can't understand that there are more reasons for a person to be up in the polls because those voting in those polls trust or believe what he's saying.
I personally just enjoy that he's brought out some important points that were going to be soft pedalled by the GOPe and that he's enjoying the heck out of himself and running whereas most of the others look like they've missed their last 2 or 3 bowel movements.
It's too early to be jumping up and down about who's "winning" the nomination. By at least 3 months. Maybe more.

I think that most Americans are so sick and tires of "professional" politicians trying to run both parties and shoving their agenda's up the public's squeak hole. I can only speak for myself, but I'm do damn tired of hearing "the anointed ones" tell us what we want to hear, then pushing their agendas through.
I also believe that we're looking for the "next" Reagan/Lincoln/Washington to get us on the right track and he/she isn't there right now. Some of the candidates are trying to get their message out, but are screwing it up, or we're seeing them trying to do the same crap once again.
What we need to do is sift through the BS and try to find the right candidate that can do the job... it may be Trump, Walker, Fiorina, Rubio, Jindal or someone else that we haven't thought of. Regardless of who wins the nomination, we need to support them - the DNC is going to try and shove HillBilly up our butts (if she can get the e-mail issue pushed to the back pages) or whomever they feel is best if she drops out.
This is Ace's place, and he's done a good job of keeping it sane through the years. We need to keep the discussions civil... when we let the trolls gain control, we stoop to the level of the Donks and their sites (LGF, Kos, Vox, DU, etc.).

I spend most of my on-line time moderating National Review, but I could drop by now and again when they get too stuffy. The morons tend to have the better senses of humor. There is currently issues there among the mods about whether the white supremacist wing of the Trump supporters should be allowed to stay. They're nuts from the "right stuff".

through a Breitbart link that I now don't have (sorry) and did not
stress that my issue is that the present admin welcomes the anchor baby
and is actually flying in extended family now from their native Country
so that 1 anchor baby = 8 "immigrants".
I've had a lot of gin tonight, so please excuse typos, but I think I got my 1-in-3-in-Iowa from a Derbyshire piece. I can back it up with anecdotes--my dad recently retired from practicing medicine, and he had to take a "Spanish for health care professionals" class so he could communicate with parents while doing his assigned duty of checking out newborns (not delivering; he gave that up about 30 years ago when the malpractice insurance started costing more than he was making, just checking on the babies for the hospital where he was employed after someone else delivered them). And the local paper where my folks live--everytime I'm there about a third of the newborn announcements have one or more grandparents who live in Mexico or Central America.
I really don't know how many are on "agriculture worker" visas vs. how many are illegal, though--but I do know no one in Iowa gov't is going to ask.

1. make sure you are banned. if you're banned by IP, you will get a message syaing "This IP has been banned." Cut and paste that and send that to me.
2. If you've been banned by hashtag, that's more serious, because that means it was probably intentional. If you were banned intentionally but wish to be unbanned, please explain the actual reasons for the banning (or what I claimed the reasons were, if you dispute them) and just tell me you won't do that crap again and send me the hash you were using when banned. I'll unban it.

the examples of "arguments' you give consist of people personally insulting me by imputing my motives (a classic insult), and you claim my reaction to that proves "they must have been above the target."
How about, you're an asshole, and what that proves is that I'm tired of being insulted by the Trump people in any post I write finding fault with Trump?
How about, if that happens seven days running in a row, I get kind of fucking sick of it?
Do you imagine your cool would be perfectly intact if induced 20 co-conspirators to follow your ass around the internet, including at your work emails, personally insulting you out of the blue, seven days running?
If you said "Shut the fuck up" to us after seven days of that, would I be right that we must have been "directly above the target" with our constant insults?
Or would it just be you having ENOUGH of being insulted by lunatics?
As I said, you seem possessed of this idea that your stupid smears and insults are proof that you're "directly above the target" and that you're really *scoring.* Or rather, the fellows whose wit you so admire were, anyway.
This attitude suggests to me that insult is what you consider argument, and your existence under the new policy will be both brief and tense.
but, I guess, hope springs eternal.

That is the problem though isn't it? After many years as an ER physician I never asked anyone if they were legal or not. It was not the place. My job was to treat every life the same and in that setting I don't care. But most Americans have acted the same way for decades and now, if true, we have a third of another Country living here mostly illegally and our betters want more and we had better shut up and take it. I can't even wrap my head around what that means. It's like if during the night a third of Alaska snuck across the border into Canada. Would Alaska really even still exist then?

So go ahead and get all butthurt that you won't be allowed to be dick to others while trying to come up with a cognizant argument to counter someone's statements.
Plus some of these folks getting all 1st amendmenty and leaving cause suddenly the blog has become a hostile environment? I've never seen or heard of them whenever I've been reading/commenting.

Somebody way way way upthread noted how there was a threat of banning, followed by a counterintuitive pushing of luck by a group of commenters.
combined with your comment, leads me to believe that just the credible threat of deportation(banning) could cause a rather large self deportation response.

Which would be one thing if Ace&co. were hardcore right-wingers, but like a commenter upthread alluded to they aren't -- in fact their actual policy positions come out fairly RINO-ish -- so it's just content-free Rage Against the Elites for I don't know why.

My biggest problem is i love when ace gets down and nasty.
I mean, i was told by ace to go fuck myself when i pointed out what the official policy of trump was on pp and pointed out Cooke's misrepresentations.
That's ok, i prefer to have it out. Anyway, one man's observation.

But... frankly, I find your expanation of the disappearing WeirdDave posts a bit lacking.
I like his posts. I find them thought-provoking even when I disagree with him.
I guess what I'm getting at, here, is... why do you even trust WeirdDave with the keys to the blog if you're just going to trust someone else's snap judgement that pretty much everything he posts that isn't about gardening isn't acceptable?
Why not tell whoever it is that disappears the posts that you trust WeirdDave and actually want his input on your blog?
Why do you even let him post new threads here if you don't actually trust him?
I've never seen a post from him that, say, for example, expressed an opinion on an adverse party in a lawsuit involving you. To my knowledge, anyway.
I just find it odd that you... outspoken and awesome you, with whom I've had some good and fun arguments on a few occasions... give a guy keys to the blog, then some third party disappears pretty much anything he writes that isn't about heirloom tomatoes, and when asked about it you just pull a Pontius Pilate and "wash your hands of it."
Frankly... I, for one, wouldn't want to write under conditions like that, knowing that the guy who hired me wouldn't have my back if one of his other subordinates scrubbed pretty much everything I wrote without explanation.

Wrong ace. Check the Daily Caller comments on any topic having to do with Trump, teh gays, abortion, #blacklivesmatter & various other emotional issues. It looks like most of the comments are ad hominem insults against other commenters (or against anybody in abstract who disagrees with the "correct" opinion). I don't know if there's anything that gets banned there.
Leftist trolls like the Daily Caller, where they can exchange abuse with similarly minded rightists. So if any AOSHQ commenters feel emotionally deprived by the new banning policy, try venting some of your angst at the Daily Caller (with plenty of leftist trolls to insult). Maybe after you've released your bad water at DC, you'll be calm enough to post reasoned arguments at AOSHQ.
BTW, I too have the character flaw of enjoying slinging insults at political oponents now and then. I don't feel guilty about having the same character flaw as lots of other people, but I know when it overrides my intelligence, the Daily Caller is where to sling insults, not here. I think it's a good workaround for other AOSHQ commenters with that character flaw (even if you don't consider it a character flaw).

This astroturffing by people that think they own the forum is poison to open discussion. I can take being taunted because they don't agree with me but for 12 people to jump in and say "This is our site is ours who are you?" Who the fuck are you? A lot of us post things in the comments maybe semi-monthly.
I don't know Ace or any of the other mods but I've always considered this an open forum where I can read and talk about politics.
The format works and it has impact. I can see ideas including things I've said actually develop into bigger memes that wind up on fox news. Maybe I'm crazy but I really think the people that make decisions read this blog and are influenced by it.

These two phrases are not the same thing.
As someone who only ever does drivebys and never engages in actual discussion, I can state that it absolutely is because things are "too fast". Every piece that gets posted gets a flood of comments, one after another, very swiftly, for about a day. Then the comments dry up very swiftly because the crowd has migrated to a more recent piece, where comments are once again getting posted very swiftly. The net effect is that there is no actual long-term discussion on any one topic except for the people who happen to be online and paying attention to the blog at the moment it is posted and for several intense hours afterward.
Comments posted after the rush are simply never addressed, nor, for the most part, even read.
This is not a formula for any sort of intelligent discussion.

Now admittedly something calling itself the "Overnight Open Thread" is rather particular and could be expected to have a lifetime of that sort. That said, 1) the fact that nobody participating in the discussion was capable of noting and correcting such a blatantly false statement, and 2) the fact that such an important correction to a post on this site is made so extremely swiftly (the only intervening time was one of your target audience's country being mostly asleep) and yet utterly ignored/missed, both are very typical of how discussions on this site actually work and of their quality.
I use that example because it's recent, similar cases happen at least once a week here, often multiple times a week. It seems to be something you have absolutely no interest in addressing in any fashion. Therefore any claim as to the high quality of discussion here can only be regarded as bullshit.

I wish decision-makers read this blog--or, for that matter, any of the fine right-of-center blogs out there, but I'm pretty sure they don't. Remember pollster Fred Luntz's surprise when he discovered that rank-and-file, conservative-leaning Republicans were highly pissed off and ready to retaliate against Whiggish, go-along and get-alongRepublican leadership? That should not have been a surprise. Remember Rubio's recent comment that we are not an angry nation? Now there's a man who is not paying attention.
There's a massive disconnect between political elites and the grassroots. It's an old movie: a jaded aristocracy ignores warning signs from below, diasaster ensues, but we seem to be stuck in a hell where we get to watch the reruns over and over.

1490 By this logic, if Trump were posting his juvenile little butt hurt tweets on this site instead of Twitter, he'd be banned!

Actually, if you called a member of an AoS Protected Class "juvenile" and "butt hurt," YOU would be banned. Lucky for you, Trump and, evidently, Trump supporters are not members of the AoS Protected Class, so insult away. These rules are awful reminiscent of SJW rules.

Generally, it's not a great idea to publicly announce you're going to enforce rules more strictly. It generates comments like many of the ones in this thread - complaining, carping, and accusations of favoritism for some viewpoints and posters over others.
It's better to do it on the down low, but do it consistently and uniformly without regard for who is who or what side of a given issue they're on. You still get rid of the trolls and the assholes without causing all the angst and division.
That said, I have no actual problem with anything Ace said.

I'm confused. If you have no problem with what he said, why did you break the rules? Or, are you sure that they will only be applied to the non-protected class - the other: the Trump supporters? If that is the way things are going to go down, it seems rather SJW-y to me. I try to avoid invective, so it generally won't affect me one way or the other, except that personally insulting me may still be generally tolerated on the site (not that I'm a Trump supporter, but I think the personal insults thrown at his supporters are highly counterproductive).
Posted by: gm at August 27, 2015 12:23 PM (K0tm3)
I didn't break the rules.
Not in this thread, anyway.
Describing Trump's tweets as "juvenile" and "butt-hurt" are adjectives, not name-calling.

You're criticizing how a popular blog is being run by its proprietor. Needless to say, if you run your own blog, you can run it perfectly according to *your* rules. It might not be as popular, but hey, you'll have the rules you like.
And considering how ace is running his own conservative blog, SJW doesn't even fit. He's not invading other people's spaces to make them more to his liking.
I know, I know, you didn't *call* him an SJW. You only said it seeeeeeeems like it.

I'm the one who posted that ONT so allow me to clarify a few things. I did check several news stories on Moogalian and none of them mentioned that he had received a Legion d'Honneur and in fact one seemed clear that he had not. Note that we are not a news site per se and so can only rely on the accuracy of news stories as reported by actual news outlets.
We also have to sleep so don't expect any updates during the middle of the night.
Also people don't usually comment on open threads that have been pushed down by another post or two. And they may not comment on something that they don't particularly care about - even if it's very important to you.
Perhaps your expectations are simply out of sync with this blog. There are many others out there so I'm sure that find a place to suit your requirements.
Here is your ONT refund:

Blogs are NOT public platforms for which the average commenter has paid for the stage and microphone, and can demand to be heard.
Visiting a blog is more like visiting someone's home.
After inviting thousands to his home, Ace has realized the need to put up a sign:
"Please don't shit on my carpet, there are other places for that sort of thing"
What sad times we live in that many fail to understand this.
This blog is NOT a democracy. And I disagree with Ace 25% of the time. (Trump/Cruz is GOLD, Jerry! Gold!)
Relax, everybody. We're guests here.

First, thanks for responding.
Second, my response is - ignore them. You get pissed off because some commenters are jumping your shiat with a snide comment here, there, etc. IGNORE them. The worst thing you could do is engage them. Especially if they are just one hit wonders spamming the site to start drama. You manage a political blog - between politics and religion, there are no two greater areas of disagreement imaginable that go to the heart of a person's character. You are not gonna encounter people that stay in the lines of debate for long, especially not on the internet. Ban the threatening and the violent. Ignore the rest.
As for your position on "questioning motives", you seem to regard that as some insult tactic used by lesser minds. You may feel that way, but its not. As an attorney (for law enforcement), I do this all the time, because everyone, on every side, has motives for their actions, or their statements. Some of them obvious, some of them hidden. The stated reason for a policy decision is almost never the only one, the main one, or the actual one. And this is no different in day to day life. Take a work comp case for an easy example: you have to question the motives of a panel doctor who first treats the injured employee - sure they will provide the employee care, but they will shy from opining on work relation of the injury. Why? Because if they find too many work related injuries, they are off the panel and their livelihood is threatened. So their stated motive - to help the patient - is colored by their base motive - keeping money flowing from the hand that feeds them. So you can't rely upon them to support the employee. Same with a Independent Medical Examiner - they are the employer's hired guns paid to opine that your shattered spine from failing off the crane at work isn't work related, that you really got it falling out of bed. Motive? Money, of course, by being the employer's go-to hatchet man. Dare I question peoples' motive for their stated positions? You're damn right I do that. And I expect it to be done of me. I'm not asking to be treated differently. I want you to know what I say is what I mean. Might the doctor be offended? Sure, but so what? I am offended (or my client is offended) by being rear-ended. I don't win for them by taking people at face value. Obviously this professional grade skepticism has to be tempered in daily life, but that doesn't mean it isn't necessary.
Politics is FILLED with mixed motives. You, on this site, do this very type of questioning all the time! Of anyone that comes up as a topic of discussion. It's one of the reasons I come here! You have to, because most of the time, no one in politics gives you the straight shit. I'd rather have the most blunt motherf*er let me know where they stand to my face than have to wonder if they are scamming me behind my back. And you can't help but analyze a person's motivations when their blog contains their thoughts on a daily basis, no different than reading their diary made public.
As an aside, re: for Kelly/Trump, I get your point - that she is a journalist that should ask tough questions, and you don't want slammed for stating that. I agree, in fact, I expect her to do so. But as was already stated, in that debate, she was NOT a journalist - she was a debate moderator there to moderate, not sell herself and her show. Nor is she a political advocate there to advance her agenda. It's not about her. Same for Baier and Wallace. She, like Trump, really requires no defense. If she wants to debate Trump, have him on her show at 8:00pm and rip him a new one with investigative questioning. Do a 5 part expose on him. THAT'S what journalists do. Debate moderators raise topics, and allot time. If Trump is gonna get slammed for his past misdeeds, it should be the OTHER CANDIDATES that do it, as that is who Trump is competing against. It is not the job of a moderator to debate a candidate. If she's doing that, she's doing it wrong. And I'm not gonna feel shamed for pointing it out, or watching Trump goad her on. She's a big girl, she can deal with it. And the ratings it brings her.
And I don't come here to "steal" your work product as you cleverly insinuated. Is it that hard to imagine that I simply think similar to you and thought the same thing on my own? My motive is as clear as day - I come here (as I have for the past 9 years) because I'm like-minded.
Thank you for your time and attention.

I used to be a liberal Democrat. Back in 2007-2008 I was a regular at left wing blogs. Then Obama supporters happened. Anyone who didn't support Obama was swarmed by Obama trolls and then abused and harassed until they converted or left.
This is the little-known origin of the PUMA movement.
Trump supporters behave just like Obama supporters.

As an unabashed TRUMP supporter, I can outright claim that if some fucking dick-head ASSHOLE decides to attack what I have to say about what is best for the conservative movement (SPOILER: TRUMP is good for the conservative movement): I will gladly stick his own head back up his own restarted ass!
And if someone happens to merely disagree with what I think is best for the conservative movement: well, I am interested in his ARGUMENT.
If I get banned here as a result. SO BE IT.

The normal evolution of a site's comments section is that it starts small enough for people to know each other and explore ideas, and then gets overrun with either assholes or ideological conformity, with the dissenters getting hooted out.
Ace going all-in on giving the assholes the bum's rush while keeping a space for respectful disagreement is the best possible way forward. Hopefully it works as designed.

Casual slander that you should apologize for right away. Most Trump supporters are White Cis Males and thus have an instinctive floor on their level of interpersonal depravity and fact-free hateposting. You have a problem with Trump supporters because you ignored or laughed off warnings in the past, and now they're trolling you with a level of dedication and sophistication that those who stayed in the mainstream blogrolls simply can't deal with.
They are often trolls, but the one thing they aren't trolling about is the fact that they really do want to see Donald Trump in the White House, and every incoherent devolution into emotive feminine poopytalk against unspecified BAD EVIL HORRIBLE SUBHUMAN ASSHOLE FILTH by public or semi-public figures who take their image as impartial or, even more hilariously, cool, above-it-all people with no skin in the game either way, is a self-demonstration of the fact that moderation was never going to work, because there was no actual philosophy or ideology behind it outside of "Can't we all just get along?"
TL, DR, you have raging hatred you can't deal with because you laughed it off in easier times when you could have learned what caused it and how to defuse it. Such is the way of all civilizations.

I read Ace of Spades for the same reason Breitbart did-
you guys totally rock it. So- maybe you should all take turns
cking comments and don't respond to those stuck in the
sandbox throwing sand.
For the record- it could be worse. I live in the NEK of VT-
the Northeast Kingdom. Bernie sucks. If you have any
political cartoonist friends- float this. Bernie gleefully
climbing a ladder to the Kingship where each rung is
either a Veteran, a dairy farmer or a Union member.
He does squat for no one and loves to make empty
promises to get what he wants... oh, but i repeat myself.
Love you guys...

Let the scintillating, boisterous, sharp-and-insightful commentary begin!
Note: Ace In-Crowd Ass-kissers --you know who you are---will not notice or be affected by the change.
But....will Ace's cohort posting in his absence be ruled in the same manner? I took a ration of grautitous personal shit for not agreeing about the Cecil the Lion incident, for example.
Is Ace admonishing his confreres, or just us groundlings and riff-raff?

No engagement on the merits, just snot-flinging.
Ffft!

It's only a very small percentage of people who insist on being one predictable step over the line of civility that become obnoxious.
Then we all lose.

"I am tired of being afraid to speak my piece on my own website "
Come on, Ace, you're tougher than that, aren't you? If you're afraid to speak here, I assume you won't speak against PC notions in the real world? Disappointing.
