[2021-07-20 | 11:22:29 UTC] You have a message from Bytram: I've said it before, and I believe I even mentioned it in a story, that I would not object posts like this being modded as spam: https://soylentnews.org/comments.pl?noupdate=1&sid=43972&page=1&cid=1158137#commentwrap

So it's official. Anyone spamming contentless bullshit like that? Spam-mod them out of existence. No, you special snowflakes, that's not "censorship" any more than telling someone to clean up after their dog is a violation of their freedom of association.

    Your editing elision shows your intent:

    ... you heard it here first, folks. Interesting, germane, relevant stuff marred with the pointed addition of racist tripe - flamebait.

    Reading comprehension? Deliberate fail. I am reminded of an old insight, Jean-Paul Sartre on anti-Semites:

    They are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. ... They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert.
