zeogold: You say this, yet there are multiple instances of you driving the same point even when proven wrong. You don't bother to engage in debate and further the idea, you just try to push the "I'm right because I say so and that's all I want to hear" stance.

zeogold: But these people are posting individual links and giving explanations of why the subject is interesting, also engaging in healthy discussions on them, not just slamming posts with humongous amounts of links, ignoring what everybody says, then doing it again and again.

Shadowstalker16: Whether anyone discusses or not, its quite obvious that discussion is not the primary motive of that thread, and rtcvb said that he is posting it so that someone else may find them useful. Its more like an update / news thread, like lostwolfe's LP thread.

The individual points raised in that thread are too many and varied to discuss at length about, and neither rtcvb nor anyone discussing against him wants to concede that they are wrong. The difference though is that to me, most of the infowars stuff is what is wrong most of the time.

People may still be reading it and finding the thread useful and we can't tell from mere lack of posts. Anyways, I don't see much of a problem in letting it continue, since the little discussion there is keeps to itself.

rtcvb32: Hmmm.. I suppose I could encrypt the names...

Starmaker: I absoutely do take sides, but this is not about the sides. These two are human trash. I won't piss on them if they were on fire, regardless of their political affiliation.

Also, the list is by no means exhaustive. Obviously, scammers belong on it, ciomalau belongs on it, the dipshit who harasses tinyE belongs on it, etc. There was a user who kept posting lists of games, just lists without an end in sight (they're currently inactive so I won't call them out). Exclusion != endorsement.

Infowars on the other hand is a well-maintained political thread. If you don't like it exists, go ahead and petition GOG for a ban on political content, citing it as an example of what specifically you want to prevent in the future. But it is not low or negative effort trash.

htown1980: I'm not familiar with lostwolfe's LP thread but could one distinguish that thread on the basis the lostwolfe doesn't post every day and his thread is about games?

I wouldn't have raised this point of this was a website about DRM free politics.

Breja: The problem is this- either someone has to keep waisting their time disproving the shit rtcvb posts (which is not hard, but is time-consuming), or we allow the forum to become a tool to propagate lies and slander. It's that simple.

htown1980: Obviously people can post what they want and completely ignore this but I'd personally appreciate it if people just ignored and didn't engage with rtcvb32 in this thread.

If you'd like to have a discussion with him, he does, after all, have is very own thread in these forums :).

Shadowstalker16: I generally think beefs from a thread should be kept within it, otherwise it prevents the person from being constructive outside the controversial thread. eg, people pestering dtgreene based on his posts made in some other thread or rctvb being pestered about the infowars thread.

timppu: What? R2-D2 and C-3PO too? I could have never imagined... Then again, 3PO always raised his arm in a way that could have been seen as "heiling"...
