    so when Jeff bans somebody from ISH who constantly acts like a jackass troll (and has been warned to stop repeatedly) he is being Orwellian?

    I think it stems past just this one incident. Look I mean it's their platform, and they make the call. If he doesn't like it, he is free to start his own social network, as are you.

    "Of, relating to, or evocative of the works of George Orwell, especially the satirical novel 1984, which depicts a futuristic totalitarian state."

    That would be about government. Unless you now want to argue whagt "totalitarian state" means...which I'm not going to do, because this really has become tedious.
    You don't seem to be aware of what the word "especially" means. Here's a hint: it doesn't and never has meant "all." You've just refuted your own argument. Not to mention that only one person has used the word, and you respond as if that word only has the narrow definition you attribute to it, and as if it was being used by everyone (it was the only argument being made in your eyes), to justify your posting that inane and completely irrelevant meme.

    Wow, the sheer lack of comprehension of some people is quite incredible. It's like you don't actually think at all but merely jump on whatever "team" fits more neatly with your prejudices. In the context of the discussion that is being had your post makes no sense whatsoever. No one has even come close to implying what you're saying, but you and RMWG keep repeating this inanity as if it becomes more true just because you keep saying it. LEARN TO READ YOU FOOL.

In Orwell's novel the people are being monitored by the state and have no choice in the matter. The example used isn't great. But the actual definition has to do with government overreach.


    A cowardly retreat, but honest

    These lefties of ISH just can't help but make themselves look stupid XD. I never truly realized how sheepy and ignorant the modern left has become until this year. RMWG is a shining example of the modern democratic party voter.

    I have a couple of ghost twitter accounts and I may force a ban on myself.

    I will continue on the legacy of that Dangerous *******, his self-given nickname, and tweet on his behalf.
