While I doubt cultsmasher will read any of the following, or respond, hope springs eternal.

I actually do see the difference. But it totally screws your "cause" or "message", or whatever it is, when you come across as an asshole. The funny thing is, while your writing skills and communication skills are terrible, you as a person are not nearly as bad as the asshole running this forum.

The following was moved to the "heinous shit we don't want to provide a Google-wide megaphone for" forum, which is far more idiotic than anything you, cultsmasher, have done.

I don't have any hope you will even read this post. Which is why I say you are almost exactly like the assholes running things here. You just believe differently. But everybody is 100% sure they are right, and everybody else is not.

Yeah, that's right. Disobey (Cultsmasher) isn't nearly as bad as the anonymous fuckhole running this forum.

Someone should move this thread to the cloaca. The butthurt is glorious to behold. Like a monkey flinging poo at itself.

It's ironic that the Nazi loving racists scumbag defends free speech, while the woke idiots, who are sure they are on the side of the angels, want to censor anything they don't like.

Nazi loving racists scumbags are always honking about free speech, as long as they're doing the speaking.

It's ironic that someone harping so much on free speech (and so might be presumed to be somewhat familiar with the way it works) thinks that moving a thread to the Cloaca is somehow "censorship" violative of the First Amendment.
