Are non-socialists allowed here? If only for friendly debate purposes? BTW

[clarice]

Please either tell me yes or no. I can't afford anymore alerts or removals

1. I'm not a socialist. I'm a proud lifelong Democrat. I get those things too.

3. Someday I will figure out what IS and what ISN'T alert worthy....seems to

change daily

13. It used to be more consistent

when the mods were in control. Now it is rather hit or miss depending on who is chosen for the jury.

2. Basically *anybody* can post here, as much as they want to

There don't seem to be any standards.

4. I wanted to make sure....some forums will not tolerate dissenting opinions. Thanks

5. Don't worry, groups like that will just ban from posting if you appear...

...to be suggesting alternative points of view. That's what happened to me in the Bernie group. It was painless.

6. 100% correct. Thanks I didn't want that to happen here. nt

8. Depends on what you're idea of tolerance is

Error has no rights after all

12. I'm not sure what standards of yours we are failing to live up to.

However, you are incorrect.

7. You might want to PM one of the hosts, or wait for one of them to reply.

They're listed here:

The group's statement of purpose might help, also:

9. Thanks that DEFINITELY answers my question.....No dissenting opinions tolerated. Glad I asked.nt

10. I wouldn't put it that way.

This is a group for socialists. If your local public library announces a Jane Austen appreciation night and you think Pride and Prejudice is shit and the people who love it are awful, there are very few good and honest reasons for you to attend.

You know your intentions. I don't. The group hosts will have to make inferences based on what you have to say and how you present it. If you're not here to be deliberately hostile, I don't think there's much reason to worry. Besides, the worst possible consequences (being blocked from further posts in this one particular group) are trivial.
