Indeed, backseat moderation was granted to those in favour of authoritarian governance with a goldenshill benefitting more than most. And then you had a seamusless flip flop artist who possessed an uncanny knack for holding two contradictory views at once. In addition to being a diehard apologist of all things FG and NPHET, not to mention displaying fascist leanings promoting the ostracising of unvaccinated from society.

I took the resident moderator to task for letting these dishonest and disingenuous bluff merchants complete licence, while ruthlessly stifling those who dared criticise Tony Holohan for possessing dictatorial tendencies and his role in casting hundreds of elderly people to their deaths (flippantly placing them in nursing homes during a peak wave pre-vaccination). A site ban immediately followed for having the temerity to stand up against a somewhat biased echo chamber, especially considering all those establishment posters with well-paid vocations and secure pensions were getting the gold star treatment from day one of the pandemic.

I leave boards with the inverted peace sign to all those I clashed with on that forum, and a metaphorical handshake of respect for those who confronted the miserable pedants inhibiting the freedoms of others...and calling out relentless bombardment of propaganda from RTÉ and other vehicles of government malfeasance. As for Tony Holohan? His day of judgement will come, none of us with goldfish bowl memories have forgotten his role in the cervical check scandal. Despite his desperate attempt to wrestle control of the narrative. The arrogant fraud has blood on his hands, and when the sentence is handed down I'll crack the seal on that single malt.

Gratifying to inhabit the mind of another for free, can anticipate one's reaction at will. That's an immense power to have, and I don't wield it lightly.

E.g. this thread which was locked due to apparently being fake news. Yet the Indo, several tabloids and local media (newspapers and radio) carried the story, were they all disseminating fake news.

Not so long ago I messaged a number of them due to an unfortunate experience of mine and shure the response was lacking to say the least. I couldn't shake the feeling had I been part of the clique my concern would have been taken more seriously and the other mods in the clique would have at least acknowledged me.

I should be more mature than this I realise. Here I am bitching on a different forum.

This got me a week's ban for racism!!!

They don't care about discussion or debate - just wokery and keeping to the one true opinion. Very sad.
