Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Do you mean the post that was removed for breaking rules?

Yep. And the rule I broke was the rule that said "no posts asking for technical help." Which is my bad because I didn't read the sidebar before posting.

The one that attracted a lot of downvotes

No, the one that attracted upvotes and supporters saying that your screenshot indeed showed no proof of my ever having posted to the sub I was banned from. I'm surprised you don't remember, because you got into an argument with one of the posters who supported me. Do you remember?

I have noticed that it really gets under your skin that you were banned from an entire instance for toxicity.

Under my skin?! hahahaha I was banned from a place I never visited, posted on, or even knew existed. LMAO

So any samples of posts I made to that place? Funny how there are zero instances of me posting to that place in my comment history. Hmmm...

But as I’ve mentioned several times, I believe we should focus on discussing the content of the articles posted from here on out, in order to keep with the spirit of this community. Thank you!

Rewriting history is so beneath you! It bothered you so little you made two posts about it and at this point probably 50 comments about it LMAO

Still waiting on that check. Thank you!!!!!!

I don't know what you mean. You’re still not talking about the content of the article. Let’s stay focused on the content of the article especially since you’ve had some comments removed for personal attacks today. Thank you!

Still waiting on that check you promised. Thank you!!!

[–] UniversalMonk@lemmy.world -4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I have no idea what you are talking about. Can we just stick to the contents of the article posted so that we can stay within the spirit of this community please? Thank you!

[–] pooperNickel@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I hope you feel better now that we're no longer talking about your toxicity ban. Thank you!

[–] UniversalMonk@lemmy.world -4 points 2 months ago

I don't know what you mean or what that has to do with this article. Would you like to stay focused on this article so we can keep within the spirit of this community? I think we should. Thank you!
