Oh no! Some random person on the Internet doesn't like me anymore! FYI, that happens in real life if you spew hateful stuff out loud.
Chilling effect? Oh come on. Plenty of folks didn't get banned for expressing divergent perspectives. You gotta do better than this. Not buying your rhetoric. :3
What a cute tiny sidestepping flippant non-response.

Where exactly did I spout hate when I experienced a chilling effect in conversations I was in??? That is a wonderfully amazing claim to make. That people who had problems here on NeoGAF with the toxicity of the admins/mods or the progressive groupthink circlejerk were actually dealing with people not liking them because they "spew hateful stuff out loud". ALL OF THEM? Broad statement without any foundation beyond your own apparent vicious twisted assumptions, and dare I say, projections. You literally have no logical way of proving this statement, it is fallacious on its face and quite ridiculous. Quite indicative of the general willfully disingenuous false nature of your appraisal and assumptions of those you disagree with.
I say projection because, quite frankly, what kind of spite filled person actually has the gall to go around pretending at holier-than-thou moral superiority while making denigrating false unfounded claims about the supposed hate based speech of others as the supposed cause of all of their problems. You dismissed out of hand clear statements which disproved your ridiculous assertions, instead you claim to know the REAL reason behind any issues that they had, which is their own supposed inner hate, which they supposedly spewed out loud.
Wow. You are really a waste of a conversation. No wonder you so desperately need a progressive echo chamber bubble to defend and protect you against the savagery of reasonable logic based arguments.
Oh geez.
Nobody is calling you racist if you're not racist.
If you say something racist then you will be called a racist.
You're just reinforcing the idea that you should be allowed to say bad shit without being held accountable.
Ohhh. Except...
Complete strawman.
If you're a Republican you are either completely uninformed, ok with racism, or supportive of racism. It's just facts... :/
Doesn't make you a nazi, but no need to cuddle your views.
Explain how a Republican is not one of three above and we can discuss.
Because there are NO witch hunts. There is NO chilling effect. ALL claims that people are racist are based ENTIRELY on FACTS. Because "Nobody is calling you racist if you're not racist.". Just because Subpar Spatula says so.
Subpar Logic is more like it.

hahah. "Not buying your rhetoric" You have literally zero to say in response.
You can't explain why there is a large group of silent users. Why they have remained silent? Why they are speaking up now, if there was no chilling effect or witch hunt? "
You gotta do better than this. Not buying your rhetoric." The burden of proof is on YOU. YOU are the one who said there was no witch hunts, YOU are the one who then claimed there is some "silent group" out that for some strange reason, is apparently only willing to speak NOW that the admins/mods have left a thread opened, and the progressive masses have left in protest. You can't even come to a basic logical conclusion explaining that away, so you pretend my points are so weak that I need to "do better than this". I guess you need some kind of remedial help with basic logic and reading comprehension or something. I doubt that anyone reasonable is buying your little sidestepping attempts.
A tacitly or officially condoned group of really high level low thinking disingenuous posters like yourself, dogpiling opposing viewpoints and the posters, labeling them as being hate filled and hate based. Making them have to prove their innocence all while telling them that they don't REALLY understand their own supposed inner hate based motivations. Standards are conveniently applied, and never to you. You are the forever hypocrite, annointing himself with robes of progressive virtue, and like virtually everything progressively virtuous, it is something to be heard but never seen.
Witch hunts? Where? Chilling effect? Never seen it. Numerous personal anecdotal evidence to the contrary? Lies, all lies. Hear no evil, see no evil. Funny how there are so MANY of them, and how you seem to fear a mirrored type of forum for THEIR viewpoints. Which you assume will be exactly like yours has been, which is horrible as long as it doesn't benefit you, but a welcome relief when it does.
What a waste of a conversation. You are so obviously oblivious to criticism or anything well-reasoned. You ARE NeoGAF.
Let it burn.
