You act like either SBs or SVs mod actually give a damn what their rules say, instead of how they can twist them to attack their ideological opponents and people who spread info they do not want spread.
No, I was referring to the things about the SB mods.
... ugh.
... okay. I can kinda see a mod warning for that post. A permaban, especially after you cited your evidence (which you really should have done in the post itself), is just ridiculous.
That's weird, I think that usually only happens when there's legal implications. I'm not a lawyer though or a scientist, so I don't know what the exact problem would be.
It's not legal implications, and don't let them fool you.
They want reality to be sensible, to be reasonable, to be fair.My guess is that they are extra wary of a conspiracy theory.Too bad the reality might look like a conspiracy theory.
I call it that because it's illegal to say it in China.
Doesn't quite roll off the tongue, but I don't dislike where you're coming from.
Make you a deal: if you can prove you made this argument *before* the Chinese Virus came out... I'll take your argument seriously.
That name was made to shift blame away from the CCP, which has turned the WHO into it's mouthpiece in many ways.
Wuhan Flu is accurate, follows previous naming schemes for virus's, and rolls off the tongue decently.
This is good advice. Similar to people avoiding corona beer for those looking for beer. Unfortunately, i'm from the philippines and there's not such markets nearby that I'm aware of.
Not. A. Flu.
And, yet again, it's not a flu.
Eh, closer to "bug vs insect" than "whale vs fish".
No. That might be vaguely acceptable if it was just a matter of terminology, or if the disease had been contained. As-is, when people not taking this seriously is a serious driving factor beyond the spread of what's basically a biblical plague, there are serious, moral problems with trivializing it.But if I call it a cold everyone will laugh at me and my immunocompromised wife hiding in our basement.
Seriously though, its the word for "Worse than cold; no visible spots" in general parlance.
It's wrong in the same way whales are not fish.
So are killer whales. And genetically, both are more similar to dolphins than they are to other whales. But, then lemurs are more genetically similar to humans than they are squirrels in spite of appearances.
