Yes, I've noticed the same thing.Last year, for instance, we learned that by hurling insults and inciting discord in online comment sections, so-called Internet trolls (who are frequently anonymous) have a polarizing effect on audiences, leading to politicization, rather than deeper understanding of scientific topics.
I find "celebrating diversity" to be an empty slogan whether or not I agree with the sentiment being expressed.Mr. Perfect wrote:I guess we're no longer celebrating diversity.
This may come as a bit of a surprise for you: freedom fighters don't spend their time trolling little know internet forums.Mr. Perfect wrote:One man's troll is another man's freedom fighter.
You appear to think that this topic is directed at you. Why is that?Mr. Perfect wrote:Point one finger at someone else, three point back at you.
Everyone is a troll except me.
I think that we're well aware of what an internet tough guy you are, that Chuck Norris curls up in a fetal position after reading one of your posts.Mr. Perfect wrote:Some people can dish it out but they just can't take it.

That's liberalism for you. Full of empty slogans.Typhoon wrote: I find "celebrating diversity" to be an empty slogan whether or not I agree with the sentiment being expressed.
Well trolling and diversity are closely linked. If one were to celebrate diversity one would have to celebrate trolls as trolls are a part of diversity.My standard test to change the word order, "diversifying celebrations".
Anyways, trolling has nothing to do with diversity, but with being an online jerk.
Freedom fighters show up where speech happens, which includes the internet.This may come as a bit of a surprise for you: freedom fighters don't spend their time trolling little know internet forums.
Rather they spend their time and energy fighting for freedom out in the real world. Go figure.
No, of course the slate.com (leftiwng bilge website) article was aimed at the internet in general, not this website, and my responses were directed at the slate.com article, not anyone on this website.You appear to think that this topic is directed at you. Why is that?

However, if you're under the impression that the purpose of this forum is to "dish it out", you're quite mistaken.

Azari straight forward

The reason has been already Perfectly disclosed...

Islam and Judaism (in reality same religion) an "ultra right, fascist" doctrine
Any leftish spin to them just smoke screen (hiding other agenda) and lacks any spirit of Islam or Judaism

I think this a pity, a real pity
look, Monster
today for a few hrs, I was reading the Abbasid Caliphate in Wiki and hopping from link to link .. very interesting
Looks to me many posters here interested in Islamism, Islam and reform of it
As the "Golden Age" of Islam was in Abbasid Caliphate .. all the science that began at that time (House of Wisdom) .. it would be quite interesting (if posters are really into finding out facts and reality), to debate things starting year, say 1200, and what happened things went downhill later and to present time .. have argued all this happened because of OTTOMANS
Ibrahim would be ideal person to enlighten and represent Ottomans in this issue
.
IMHO not so much....Islam and Judaism (in reality same religion) an "ultra right, fascist" doctrine

Discussion forums tend to be dominated over time by people who have the most motivation to argue simple and consistent viewpoints and not necessarily those with the most interesting contributions. A sure and constant application of an ideological version of Maslow's hammer can dull and numb any discussion.Typhoon wrote:What about Facebook?

I still think though that social media, like any social venue, is as fresh or as dull as we want to make it regardless of the obstacles. I am just not as resigned and as cynical as I used to be.
