    We already know that the "global cooling," "global
    warming" and finally "climate change" garbage is a scam meant to enrich
    the people at the top even more. We are also aware that a lot of the
    floodings that have happened recently, like in Spain, were manufactured
    not natural. If you get rid of the structures holding the water out of
    certain areas, it's obvious that you will end up with flooding.

    If you are talking about levees along the Mississippi, its about
    shifting where the flooding occurs. In the old days, when the river
    rose, it spread out and flooded lots of lowlying areas. Then we built
    levees, and when the river starts to rise, it rises A LOT in a narrower channel, and on a bad day it overtops the levees and floods a city.

    In California, we may remove some levees and flood some fields, which
    will recharge some of the groundwater basins that the agri-corporations
    have depleted.

    Some benefit, some suffer either way.

    Poor -highhorse. If he's not attacking reasonable behavior, he's
    defending unreasonable behavior.

    I would love to see him "man up" on the censorship issue.

    Sure: it goes back to at least 9 April 2013...

    <https://groups.google.com/g/comp.os.linux.advocacy/c/1W-mAcPC-B4/m/lsaUt_ozLEwJ>

    I had called out COLA's behavior of hypocrisy, where the left side of
    their piehole was bragging about freedom of speech while the right side
    of their piehole was trying to exploit peer pressure to supress the
    voices of posters (yup, censorship) whose messages they disliked.

    Naturally, the usual suspects were the ones who were butthurt.




    He could
    admit that leftists in the government disallowed freedom of speech.

    Got cite? Let's see the Google Groups URL to this alleged post.

    Because there were conversations like this one which revealed how Musk
    has been a hypocrite with twitter, just like COLA boys above:

    <https://groups.google.com/g/comp.os.linux.advocacy/c/KGUPKGKvT-Y/m/El_VEgicAAAJ>


    Government directives resulted in the censorship of those on the
    right. On multiple issues that went against the Biden
    administration's narrative.

    Again, got cite? Let's see the Google Groups URL to this alleged post.



    This is relevant to what was being discussed, too. It shows that the
    asshole is ok with our most precious rights being taken away.

    The only 'relevance' is that you're boundless in your hypocrisies
    and always cry victim when you get called out.


    He will need to change the subject header to indicate his intentions
    to "man up", of course, if I'm to see it.

    Well, if that's all it takes to avoid your censorship, and since I'm not changing my position, I've suitably updated the subjectline to tell you
    and every other COLA hypocrite to go fuck off.

    You see the garbage that -highhorse will post, to defend the
    indefensible, folks? He's been proven to be wrong, and he's been
    caught lying to attack, so this is what we get.

    He won't concede that government pressure led to censorship on social
    media sites, and that that's wrong.

    Meainwhile, I'm allegedly a "hypocrite" because I've supposedly
    "censored" people on USENET.

    Err... No I haven't. I don't have that power. Choosing to not read
    or quote something is not censoring it. Obviously.

    What a ridiculous liar, -highhorse is. What a snit.

    As for the subject about a "change of position" and "YA
    unsubstantiated claim", -highhorse is attacking with pure made-up
    snittery. He wants to blow-up the argument into an unwieldy mess to
    distract from the simple points. This is his usual MO.

    It's not "unsubstantiated" that -highhorse defended censorship because
    it was private companies doing it, even though, we now know, they were
    doing it at the behest of the government.

    Every decent, honest American would admit that what happened was
    wrong. But -highhorse will not admit that happened was wrong.

    It's also not "unsubstantiated" that -highhorse is a ridiculous liar,
    for claiming that cola advocates have "censored" anyone and are thus "hypocrites".

    "You're a hypocrite because you complain about tyrants on the left
    suppressing our freedoms, but you do it yourself!"

    Err... NO, WE DO NOT, YOU RIDICULOUS, LYING ASSHOLE.

    -highhorse's snittish response will be deleted, unread.

    YA unsubstantiated claim from luzer-v., which is why he snipped it:
    to try to avoid yet another emotional 'meltdown' from losing...again.

    He won't concede that government pressure led to censorship on social

    Substantiating citation missing. Still.

    Meainwhile, I'm allegedly a "hypocrite" because I've supposedly

    Who pointed that out to you that you lacked the power you wanted to use? Butthurt about that still!

    Err... No I haven't. I don't have that power. Choosing to not read
    or quote something is not censoring it. Obviously.

    But that wasn't what was said, as per the part you *just* snipped.

    What a ridiculous liar, -highhorse is. What a snit.

    it was private companies doing it, even though, we now know, they were
    doing it at the behest of the government.

    Unfortunately, chrisv still can't actually bring himself to quote the
    original text, complete with a GG URL cite, to show readers that he
    didn't just make it up.

    Is that failure because he knows that he's lying? Or just that
    incompetent to use GG to provide a citation?

    FWIW, sounds like what chrisv is probably ranting about is that he was
    on a 1st Amendment rant, but it was pointed out to him that the 1st
    Amendment restricts only the Government, not private corporations.
    Wonder how he's going to react to TikToc @ SCOTUS later this month...

    Every decent, honest American would admit that what happened was
    wrong. But -highhorse will not admit that happened was wrong.

    It's also not "unsubstantiated" that -highhorse is a ridiculous liar,
    for claiming that cola advocates have "censored" anyone and are thus "hypocrites".

    "You're a hypocrite because you complain about tyrants on the left suppressing our freedoms, but you do it yourself!"

    Err... NO, WE DO NOT, YOU RIDICULOUS, LYING ASSHOLE.

    chrisv used quote marks without citation: "Err..."?

    So who actually made that statement?
    When & where, and in what context?

    Or is this merely yet another chrisv attempt to lie & deceive, by trying
    to imply that that it was said? Cites, please.


    -highhorse's snittish response will be deleted, unread.

    Translation: YA chrisv snowflake meltdown in progress. Cry harder.
