It depends on what you mean by a "big deal."
If Halx suddenly decided to ban any posts he felt were too "right wing" from
Tilted Politics, you probably wouldn't defend it by saying "after a period of time, Halx changed a policy. No big deal..." Your response would probably be closer to "what the hell?"
Many members have been debating in those forums for years and now half of them have been asked to leave and never come back. What the hell? Again, what kind of debates are you expecting to have now?

I didn't start this thread 'cause I'm hard up on Christian sites to "troll" on (see some of my previous posts). I thought this about face on policy was interesting and I wanted to share it with a forum I respect.
I've tried starting
similar threads here but they're not too popular. Either people already agree with my viewpoint or they're afraid to disagree with me...
For example,
this thread seemed rather lively until I posted in it. Afterwards, it died very quickly.
This one died immediately after my post despite being quite active just before. People don't fear God, they fear me!
Anyway, my point is that it used to be a quality site and I will miss it...

These kind of comments infuriate me and they're ubiquitous on
YouTube...

They're vacuous statements. They manage to say nothing while still using up bandwidth, storage and screen realestate...

Are you trying to say that they hardly happen anywhere? If not, do you care to share some of these with us? Perhaps I'm exercising selective memory but I haven't seen such a thread here in many years, if ever...
