"We operate a forum where we allow people to express their opinions" -wejo
Wejo you are always going to battle the left on this.....They simply have no use for the first amendment (or the 2nd). When these people go on Facebook or Utube or Twitter they know that their progressive tech overlords will ban speech that they disagree with.
That's what they are asking for here.Unfortunately, (or fortunately) you don't have time to create algorithms to automatically detect and report posts that the DNC or MSM might take issue with.
"The left’s commitment to censorship and limiting free speech isn’t confined to the Silicon Valley elite; most Democrats want to limit free speech.
In fact, among Democrats, 57% of those polled support social media censorship and think that content that some might find offensive should be somehow censored."915 -
That email is more accurate than not, actually.
The election of Biden may end up being one of the most important things to happen in the last 50 years or so.

I remember when the ACLU was viewed as liberal institution.
My ex-wife's professor was head of ACLU. My ex-wife joined. I was sort of wondering if that was a good idea and I'll give her credit she said, "supporting the right to express unpopular opinions is important."

From what I can tell dude is in his 60s and a very successful runner. I'm not going to expose his name but seriously what prompts someone to go email this to someone else? Sad if you ask me.
He actually emaisl something like this a few times a year.
PS I've got a kid so I'm no longer an incel!

The goal of the forums is not to only present one world view (which I guess would be mine) to everyone else. I know I don't have all the answers so we welcome debate and discussion. Some don't like reading viewpoints they disagree with.
The problem I see with the forum is not seeing viewpoints with which I disagree. The problem is that a (probably small) number of persons saturate the "discussion" with crap posts.
You don't have a "differing point of views" problem, you have a problem mitigating the impact of assholes whose sole aim seems to be derailing the potential for anything like reasonable discussion.
Worth highlighting^^

Plenty of people on the right are babbling about forcing private companies to allow any speech on their platform. That is just as censorious as the 'snowflakes' on the left. There are always bootlickers on either side of the aisle who seem to think that the bill of rights is compromise. They never get very far. Look at all furor about 'big tech' and what's become of it? Nothing. Turns out it's legal and protected sppech to ban people from your private companies platform.
I wouldn't say this is a right-left divide but a freedom vs. authoritarianism thing.

You guys have a problem separating opinion from people who state opinion as fact. So, they’re actually lying. For social media points? Because they’re on letsrun payroll? Because they’re bots. All of the above?

I wish I could ban free speech especially right after we get done having sex. You just won't shut up.

Received this email today.
Subject: Nice job fomenting Russia’s invasion of Ukraine
Body: By allowing right wing trolls on your board to show their support for Putin (due to Trump’s support of Putin), you have helped to create a situation in which Putin thought he could get away with invading Ukraine, which he is currently doing
Congrats
Man oh man. The Marxist freaks here wont admit that our woke excesses (or rather lunacies) have weakened our leadership, our image to the rest of the world, and created contempt from Russia and China for the idea of joining the 'Western system'.
But not banning every Conservative opinion on a running form might have played a decisive role.

I agree with the email. Letsrun and its tolerance for right wing trolls and paid Russian trolls as well is a big part of the problem. Is it because if you'd disallow the lies and conspiracies that get posted here you'd get cut off from your trust fund Weldon?
exactly. Rather than focus on the problem the email addresses, Wejo makes fun of the person writing the email.
See name

wejo, maybe you didn't cause the invasion, but this place does little about the Russian bots and their propaganda. This is a general internet phenomenon, not just a LRC issue. But yes, this place IS a part of the problem.
Mother of God. These receptacles of US state propaganda scare me. They know nothing of the truth

There are many posts. Choose the ones you want to engage in. Those posts that you find offensive or off-putting you can choose to ignore.
You can also exercise the newly created "Block" feature so you can further customize your LETSRUN forum experience.
Leftism is venerated by intellectuals. But there is little intellectual substance to leftism. It is a combination of doctrine and emotion.
Those with intellectual depth do not stifle dissent; they welcome it!55 -

Wejo, I guess you don't supoort free speech if you don't support emails that provide constructive criticism
Question: how many times have you publicly share the emails sent to you by Coevett or The Unkle or any one of the dozens of radical right wing trolls that post on your message boards? Zero times? Why not? Because you're biased?
