Just worry about uniting the masses against you. Playing the victim card always works well for you.

Attention everyone, quit picking on @Ban Basketball. I love how you are the great uniter as people unite to get you banned. You can bring Iowa and Iowa State fans together, you can unite Michigan and Ohio State fans. Your talent is very much appreciated.

Here is the deal though, if you don't like their product don't use it. If you feel their dealings are unfair and biased don't use their product. I don't like CNN or Fox News' product, thus do not watch either channel. I also do not like Oprah's channel, hence I don't watch it. You wanting the government to force a private company to "show their work" is kind of scary. Would you also like the government to tell Willie(or a former presidential candidate) to divulge posts that were deleted and users that were censored or banned? This fairness that you seek will never be there no matter who is running Twitter. It seems as if Musk is right leaning, do you think that if a politician he supports asks for something to be censored or promoted he won't do it? I'd guess he would. It is the same as if Cael would call Willie(and he answers) and says hey this poo poo head is saying I'm involved with some illegal activity on your board please take it off. I'm guessing he takes it down, but just a hunch. Unfortunately our political parties have driven a stake between Americans and made use pawns in their game. They thrive on divisiveness. They have made it so that we are forced to pick a side when 95% of us are in the middle. When they do that people who have power in media(social and print) have the ability to promote or suppress things they do not like. Asking for fair, unbiased, proportional enforcement will not happen, what you think should be removed may not be what I think should be removed. Unfortunately for right leaning people they are the heavy minority in the tech world and thus they think the nerds are picking on them. Maybe it's revenge for the high school bullying.

Ironic it only happens to you. The one that has been banned from numerous other boards, yet you are not the problem.

Just don't feed them

No, you won't shut up, that is the problem. You either do it willingly or it will happen another way. You are annoying and using 3rd grade antics of calling people names is tiresome. Talk about wrestling or you'll be in the zoo with Dan.

What regulations would you want on social media?

Twitter is a private company, they can suppress information as they please. Just like CNN and Fox News caters to their own specific crowds, Twitter can also. If Twitter was a government entity then we have a real story. The power of social media is really scary. Even on a site like this I can access DM's at my pleasing if I wish. I could spill the beans that you sent granny basketball a love letter two days ago. The Hunter Biden story is just the untold part of running social media. It's the same for CNN not saying anything about it or Fox News making it a big deal. Even on Facebook, their algorithms promote posts you are more likely to engage with. Whether it's pictures of puppies or political stuff that gains your clicks. Social media and websites in general work hard to keep you on there AND engaged. One of the best things about a board like this is people will spend a lot of time on here reading and engaging. Thus Willie gets more money for ad revenue. As stated previously many pages before, social media has a tightrope to walk. Running something like Twitter or even something smaller like this site comes with a lot of tough questions. Do we let trolls run amuck here? Do we allow someone to say prominent people in the wrestling world are bad people? If we let trolls run amuck the site will be unbearable and people will leave. Multiply those questions and problems by the millions and you have Facebook and Twitter.

I love Iowa vs. Iowa State talk

Holy cow those "brackets" make my brain hurt.

It is easy to share disinformation without any research with a simply share/retweet on social media without even reading the article or any due diligence if it "supports" your line of thinking. Remember last year when a news person on Facebook put they "Support mandatory VACATIONS?" People commenting were going off the rails because they are idiots and are easily triggered by anything against their beliefs. At what point should disinformation result in deletion of content or banning of the offender? If someone comes on here and says a prominent person in the wrestling community is a part of some highly illegal activity without any proof, should it be taken down? What if that person is one of the InterMat people? With social media and even a smaller version like a messageboard comes responsibility to curb disinformation or else we have the "if true" people that comment on anything that doesn't fit their beliefs or narrative.

Much like Askren said on FRL yesterday, he likes to instill fear that you'll never win in the first match. If you give your opponent hope, he'll always have hope.

Snuffed out a new name before he could even post today.
