A poster on the old ZZL just wished death on another poster and his family in their version of this thread. That dumpster fire of a board needs to be eradicated.

They must have actually removed that post, because I don't see it.

I did see a mod post on the Charlie Kirk thread there, which is the first mod or admin post I've seen on the ZZL since IC left for On3. (I didn't recognize the poster.) So maybe he removed it.

White supremacist grifter gets taken out by a white supremacist cabal and the street level, conspiracy theorist, white supremacists can't see between the lines.

My favorite part is two faced acquaintances showing their true face....as if this kirk dude was some bastion of truth, empathy and kindness.

Meh.... that's how social media works. That's largely not how the world works. Just because something horrible happened to a high-profile person doesn't mean the social media world needs to, or even should, completely change its ways.

The grieving should stay off social media or be prepared to deal with what is there.

Pretty certain she’s no longer moderating.

True dat (though I do some thread and extreme trolling housekeeping from time to time). For those offended by assassination in thread title, for instance, that’s on me, not Rock.

I did try to be balanced in my moderation and to created a culture with a lot of room for adults to push each other without crossing certain lines.

It is a tough job in any circumstance, even with the self-moderation options Rock has delivered, an event like this during a period of heightened tensions makes it nearly impossible to find a balance.

I encourage all our regulars to consider how our community is maintained by a lot of donated time and effort and also by your own personal restraint.

If I were still officially moderating, which I am glad today not to be, not sure how I would handle a thread like this. People need space to vent but I am sorry to see how our own community can target each other to the extent happening here. But maybe better here than elsewhere?

I dunno. I stepped back from moderating for a lot of reasons and today I feel both relieved but more like a craven deserter.

Yeah, it was deleted either by the poster or a mod.

That poster is a high school teacher too 😬

No reason for you to feel craven or a deserter.

I definitely eye rolled at the thread saying "assassinated". It brings to mind the Chris Rock bit about the deaths of Tupac Shakur and Chris Wallace.

I did that, not Rock. I saw confirmation Kirk died, and my first update to “shot dead” seemed to crass. Given Kirk’s political standing and the shooting seemingly planned by someone with some sniper skills, it seemed a reasonable update. If it turns out his bookie or whatever had him killed for reasons unrelated to politics, the thread title can be updated.
