Why do only the most handicapped liberals show up to these forums and make noise?
Those were not personal attacks. They were not mass pming him hate speech or anything. Nor were they private investigating him, cracking passwords or anything of the like.

You obviously have no idea what a personal attack it because i've been through them. Multiple times. This is babywork compared to what has happened to people on this forum before.
Just because the attacks weren't "that bad" doesn't mean they weren't attacks. My argument doesn't rely on the severity of anything said to him, just that the things said to him were all ad hominem stuff and not actual arguments.
It's just meming and arguments. The ones he was primarily responding to was people straight up calling him handicapped and getting mad at him for posting random ass pictures in response to arguments.
He never posted a picture in response to an argument - hell, I don't think he replied to an argument in any way at all. In fact he explicitly only replied to people saying things about him. So he was only responding to "people straight up calling him handicapped" which I don't see a problem with (unless you fundamentally dislike him stuffposting in response to dumb personal attacks)
when said corporation has an extremely strong grip on the internet it starts to be a problem
I guess I can see why you'd want YouTube to be a place for ideological openness but idk I don't think that should be expected of every private platform on the internet. The rest of Google's products aren't really forums where debate can happen, and if they are they don't have a monopoly on that space (unlike YouTube which pretty much has a monopoly on user-generated video on demand content)
If I made it sound like he only does this in the Politics thread in order to avoid further debate, then I apologize because that wasn't my intention.
Kimon does this quite frequently elsewhere as well. It isn't just contained to the Politics thread. That being said, obscure meme-y stuffposts are probably the weakest criticism one can make of Kimon.
Cool. Again if you have any specific examples of why you actually dislike him (besides his political views, since you said that wasnt the reason) I'd love to see em
i think the confusion here is because your definition of "personal attack" is a lot more intense than how it's actually been used. the way it's been used is "an attack on your person," not as a thorough attempt to extensively harass and bully you
This exactly
Reminder the guy was fired for stating a fact
Do you think it's okay to get fired for stating obvious facts that you can find my simply using google or any search engine, or a loving book at a library? It's like saying "the sky is blue," and getting fired for it because a color blind worker sees it as purple.
I mean of course it would seem like an "obvious fact" when you already believe in that fact
These were not attacks on his person (i hope). These were attacks on his forum behavior, and if he acts the same way in real life he's just irredeemable. I wouldn't believe it.
This is garbage semantics. They were attacks on his person FOR HIS FORUM BEHAVIOR.
