I do want conservatives on here

If I knew he identified as transgender yes we would use she. No doubt. We actually had gone back and done that in a story years before.
Good. Speaking for myself, I no longer see a story here, so to speak. It would be pretty damn arrogant of me to come down hard on you about what you should have done, when I wasn't there, when I've never been a newspaper editor and have barely set foot in a news room.

Now, your editorial about the ZZLP? I'm sorry, that's going to live in infamy. It's also harmless in the big scheme of things. It's closer to the clevel play than to a journalistic sin.
 
Yea. Assuming talking about me. Yes. A person was murdered. We got info from cops. Said he was male. Didn't think much of it. He apparently was wearing a bra and had penis. Human right person emailed and asked me to change to a she. Obit had as a he. I contacted his mother and she said call him a he. She was furious and hurt. Meanwhile HR people were threatening to picket and contact CNN. We stayed with he. I guess honoring his mother's wishes instead of a person who had never met him and was exploiting his death makes me a bigot.
I don’t see anything wrong with what ‘79 did.

A horrific murder happened. That’s the issue.

The Mom wanted her “baby” referred to as “he.” She’s a grieving mother.

‘79, did law enforcement find the murderer? If so, was he convicted?

Doing what mom wanted in that case was absolutely the right thing to do. Damn what anyone else thinks.

Here are stories we ran.

After this one is when Human Rights Campaign tried to get involved and I spoke with his mother about her wishes. They kept bugging me, were threatening, and after firsr conversation I made sure to protect myself and have my boss monitor the conversations. I believe the head of HRC then was a UNC grad who identified as a they, though I could be wrong. As I said they threatened to protest and call CNN, but neither happened. The following is the followup story.




It has only been 5 years to my guess is guy is out on bond and awaiting trial.

I remember asking the sheriff about motive, thinking that perhaps the guy represented as a female and they were getting into it and the alleged killer grabbed some penis and lost it, but the sheriff said he did not think that was the motive. Pretty much all I know or remember. Again, the mother is the one we were concerned about. I did find two facebook profiles for him, one under Avery Scrulock and the other I think Chanel Scurlock where he was in makeup.. Clearly had a double life. He was 23.

I literally asked the HRC person whose wishes they thought I would honor, the mother who was grieving, or someone from HRC and that person said something like "me." They adopted a very threatening tone dealing with me quickly.

You did the right thing in this case based on everything said here. Seems to me to be the same issue we have now with the boxing controversy but in reverse....someone with so much intent to make an issue that they lose all scope of humanity.
 
What is this editorial super refers to?
It happened some years ago and I don't remember all the particulars, but I believe that heel79 ran an article he wrote in his paper in which he mentioned the IC ZZLP board as an example of liberal intolerance or some such. It became quite the topic of conversation on the old ZZLP for some time. I'm sure someone else could provide more details.

Psychologically speaking, humans tend to think of dogs as male and cats are female

That is fair. I have written by my count about 6000 edits/columns and zzl took up a few paragraphs in one but someone shared and it caused a stir. His characterization is fair as well but zzl was not as I recall central to to column. Not an edit. I actually tried to find but could not. So awesome someone has recalled 5 year old post and now another from several years back. Kinda flattered.

I'll be honest 79 feels like a cousin and being a Lumber River Scot from his neck of the woods I kind of feel like he gets persecuted more than he should but no more than anybody else.
I love you guys because there is no dominate paradigm and we're all about fixing the problem and not the blame if we want to succeed.
 
I'll answer that. The old board allowed conservatives, or anyone who wasn't a complete white apologist/ social justice warrior, to be insulted freely but if they returned fire their posts would be removed. If they persisted they were banned for "trolling."

Remains to be seen if this board is any different but I'm hopeful.

This post was meant to quote korgguy1971. Haven't gotten handle of this board yet

This just simply isn’t true no matter how many times conservatives make the claim.
 
^Integrity is just a word in the dictionary to you, isn't it? Anyone can go to the ZZLP and look at the banned posters thread and see you're straight up lying.

You realize nobody here cares about how persecuted you feel, right? This isn’t a safe space to spout nonsense without a reaction or challenge. You won’t find vindication here.

Your initial introduction to this community is based around grievance. I’m sure it will only get better from here.

So I have a question based on this post...does this mean that you believe a cursory examination of the makeup of a group of punished individuals says more about the motives of those doing the punishing than it does the actions of those who were punished?

It's a sincere question.

I will take a stab. In think generally speaking bans are given more frequently to cons than liberals. It's less that the cons don't deserve as liberals get to slide. I also think, and it's not talked as much about, when liberals start garbage troll threads they are allowed but when cons start some threads portraying a leftie fav in bad light gets locked more quickly. That is my sincere answer.
