2) What happens when statistics are posted that, by your logic, paints a "majority group" in a bad light? Let's say, white males. Would this also be offensive? Why or why not? Yes, assuming all else is equal (ie: drawing attention to the numbers while offering no other context). And the example you're about to give is not an "all else is equal" situation; find one that is, first, if you want to whinge. --- 1) This board is not for asking about or disputing Trumbles. ...

They've never been considered proper English. Really? Because I was looking this up in the interim and found several links stating that double negatives are acceptable: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/double-negatives-and-usage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_negative#Two_negatives_resolving_to_a_positive https://www.thesaurus.com/e/grammar/double-negatives/ So unless you have any source that says otherwise, I'll just consider you to be wrong.

I thought we put the hands-off rumor to rest 3 years ago. Somebody said "hi" on my old board and it got deleted. Somebody else had an nkl deleted for insulting a fictional character. My board seemed to be a hotspot of random deletions while other boards were....well I can't repeat the things that are in archived posts to this day.

My board wasn't political. And Assult, lightning and I were never leaders on the MAGA board with your friend gwwak, in fact his server put me on kos and lifetime ban status because I criticized how the board was handled.
Community boards started out like this, so that gave plenty of people the impression that they could do almost anything so long as it wasn't illegal. In fact board 1004 directly pointed to this post to say they could post the things they did. As for my board we only had 1 guy post a questionable drawn image and I told him it had to come down and he won't be doing it again. I also never told people that there are no-rules boards, owner of board 1003. I never told people to flood other boards, owner of board 1438. Now they and others lecture me on following the rules.
