11. That place has gone completely off the rails.

I joined there on the second day it started, I think, and it was tolerable at first. I had some pleasant discussions. I haven't been going there much lately, but I went last night and there were people taking pleasure in the deaths of Palestinian children. I wanted to throw up.

They have jury nullification over there, for the most part. They'll barely hide anything at all, so they have all these trashy lowlife trolls attacking people left and right and nothing gets hidden, so they don't get into any trouble. It is a sewer! If you want to see all the faults of the jury system displayed, take a gander at that site. You won't be there long.

Discussionist is about to crash and burn. They decided early on that they were going to allow any kind of speech, and reading a thread over there will make you puke up in your mouth. The only way to save it is to take out the trash, and that can only be done if they do away with the jury system. They'll have to have moderators like the old DU and start shit-canning trolls left and right. But then it'll be another DU, and they don't need two of them. Looks like a colossal failure for the admins.

to think thast is the master plan. freepers stop donating to FR, forcing it to shut down. Why pay for something, when you can get it for free. Bashing liberals is the cherry on top.

Then shut down discussionist. Nowhere to go to get cheered for spewing hate

However, I find their posts tedious and predictable, rather than worth a laugh.

directly challenge their garbage rather than do it from afar. When I get time I will return.

... but you get some both side view points there with people who don't totally drool on themselves.
