Because people care more than just about themselves. If what he spreads is misinformation, if it doesn't get disproven people can very well believe it, and he drowns the forum as to make it impossible for people to verify his claims.

Vainamoinen: I'm not sure you're aware what the topic is.

If you'd like me to keep the thread on the present track, I could reply to Emob78 telling him how ZFR's naming and shaming p_dawg absolutely was "singling anyone out". I could tell him that there was no objectivity involved in a post that finds more fault in a few quirky joke threads in general chat – made by a respected member who dares to focus on video games – than in an 84 page monstrosity half of which consists of thousands of abject alt-right propaganda lies reposted by the thread starter. And I could tell him that if he really believed rtcvb32 is keeping it in just one thread, he should send e.g. OneFiercePuppy a PM, maybe he'd tell him about his run-ins with the guy's kind of logic on this forum during the last years.

All on topic, no?

Or maybe I'd reply to Shadowstalker asking him whether he'd revoked his stance on 'pizzagate' this last week, whether he now understood that the "one-sidedness" he "sensed" may have been because he put his nose into an issue that only had one side to begin with. Or maybe I'd ask him whether last week's violent first highlight of the abject conspiracy theory maybe even brought him to reevaluate the real-life danger of forum-organized nutjob activism.

Also, totally on topic.
All good points and well made.

can I please ask you to direct them in another thread though? It is already getting pretty convoluted- and my aim is simply against rtcvb and his forum"journalism"

lazydog: I have no intention of deleting this thread, even if I had the power to do so. I am aware that you have issues with thread deletion. They do not belong in this thread however.
I'm sorry, what does belong in this thread? The very first sentence of the OP reads, "I was just wondering how people feel about this infowars thread that rtcvb32 continues to post in." This appears to be exactly what we are discussing — our opinions on that matter. Unless I'm mistaken, that is. Since you insist that we stay on topic, could you please specify exactly what you believe the topic in question to be.

Tauto: Maybe if your threads were deleted then YOU would have problems with it or would you say nothing and move on?Yes,then why are you here?
Tauto, if you have an issue with thread deletion, discuss it where it is relevant. It is not relevant here in this discussion.

JMich: Not taking the time to verify what you are reposting can lead to problems and panic. Think of the recent-ish trolling about charging your phone by putting it in the microwave or how a software update makes your phone waterproof. Both can be verified/disproved in minutes, but reposting them as true can cause a lot of damage.
That is, absolutely, one thing. However, the conspiracy nonsense in rtcvb32's generates and amplifies fear and hate, which can lead to much, much more harmful things than having to buy a new iPhone. :|

Sure, no problem. I'm just trying not to bump the conspiracy nonsense thread on weekends, when rtcvb32's bullshit pipeline usually runs out.

Firstly, I would ask that if you wish to quote my answer to your previous question, that you have the decency to quote the question you initially asked.
Secondly, read my posts.

JMich: No. Think before you post. If you cannot verify the information you are posting, say it's unverified instead of posting it as a fact.
Not taking the time to verify what you are reposting can lead to problems and panic. Think of the recent-ish trolling about charging your phone by putting it in the microwave or how a software update makes your phone waterproof. Both can be verified/disproved in minutes, but reposting them as true can cause a lot of damage.
Unless of course you post them in order to cause damage, in which case you should be held liable for damage caused. Ignorance is not an excuse.
Reminds me of my favourite quote from The Lone Gunmen- "Jeff Strode could turn out to be Hitler Junior and I'd run it front page, across the fold — if I knew it to be true. We may look to all the world like the "National Enquirer", but we're going to operate like the "New York Times" or else I don't want to be here."

I will answer you this once, despite me saying I would ignore your continued rubbish.

What will be your next strawman?

how about nonsense that kills hundreds of thousands of people?

I highly doubt anything i've posted has caused anyone harm.

99% of threads in this place get derailed so why worry about this particular thread being derailed,just complain to a blue.
99% of my posts and threads get deleted,where would you suggest I state that fact? Oh,the blues.....It's their policy and it is being used by the cowards to abuse people they dislike and the blues won't change it for little old me.

Probably because your rep is so low.

Breja: I guess the thought that people are simply sick of you didn't occur to you?
You sure? I would think punching a Kangaroo would spark conversation, or a cute beaver in a store.

I mean.. isn't he cute??

Tauto, I honestly don't care about your situation. Unless you have something to add to the discussion at hand, I would advise that you think before posting, lest you fall into the same trap as rtcvb.
