I don't have strong feelings one way or the other about George News, but I do have a strong feeling that people are taking sides, and things are becoming divisive on the forum. No one had a problem with the receipts provided in the moderator's post, but when someone becomes dictator and tries to be the thought-police because others have a differing opinion, that creates an issue on a forum where free thought and speech should be lauded. I mean, we can go to Twitter or FB to be banned.
I asked pertinent questions yesterday about the meaning of outside comms. I never received an answer. For example, what makes George News an outside comm, but Pompeo, Scavino, et al, tweets are not considered outside comms? Legitimate question with no intent to doom. People are scouring the boards and sharing connections.
I do think the problem is not that the moderator has a problem with George News and that he laid out his reasons with receipts. The problem is that the moderator expects everyone to believe as he believes, to accept his receipts or be damned, but this is a forum in which those like the commentator of this thread have done equal research and come to a different conclusion. That is freedom of thought transformed into freedom of speech. It's opposition to the moderator but it is also open debate which by the act of banning has turned it into a free-for-all with people taking sides, which is not what this forum is meant to do.
The irony of being banned for giving an opinion that opposes a moderator's opinion should not be lost on anyone. The moderator opened a can of worms that may not be resolved until the moderator can tuck the pride inside and realize that freedom of thought and speech are not his to moderate.
Again, I don't hold an opinion on George News. I generally see it through the lens of others who are watching and provide analysis of certain topics. Are they comms or just good information? To me, that's a question worthy of Pompeo and Scavino tweets as well. But no one's going to get banned for announcing that Pompeo tweeted Scripture on Sunday and relating it to Q. But God forbid, someone try to do the same with George News.
Not a good call at all. People are tired of what is happening to them in reality. The general population on this board have had an election stolen from them, have seen injustices continue, are rightfully upset by the fact that a virus has been used to call many into submission, and they come here for answers only to find out that this board is no better than FB or Twitter.
