Haha... ut-oh: "page not found". Google is thorough and more powerful than we thought.

I'm a bit skeptical of this and haven't heard anything similar from other left-wing sources.

It's still the top google hit when you type "pseudo left".

You raised the same point / issue at this other thread, where I responded:


What's New: Once Upon A City: Homeless battled unsafe shelters during the Great Depre

Yes, but I think you're spamming. It's becoming a clear problem when you are posting 3-5 threads a day for whatever reason and newcomers have to wade through piles of your RSS feed that they probably have no interest in. If we are trying to revitalize the forum, you're a barrier to that right now.

Okay, and you've expressed similar sentiment at this thread as well:

I don't agree with your criticism, and I'm not spamming.

(Consider that as soon as anyone makes a reply to a thread that thread's title will rise to the top in its 'parent' forum listing of threads. This means that the most active threads are also the most visible, and most-easily accessible for any given forum. Anything less-active, spam or not, falls down lower and lower in the listing.)

That doesn't matter if it's constantly the same spamposts you've been making though. I don't care if you agree or not that it's spam, cause it clearly is and users have been expressing this for pretty much since I joined the forum in early 2013.

I'm sorry we don't agree. You sound so authoritative, but your assertions are only your own.
