Shame on the mods for throwing the other thread to the trash can, the thread where I make it very clear that I am not an incel.
The mods are treating me like trash and i
t's clear that I am not welcomed here anymore. It is sad because I have participated on this board for many years.
The mods are addressing what has become an increasing problem with your posting behavior. When you decide that any given post isn't being given the attention you think it observes, you seek more attention by starting a new thread that is, in reality, a continuation of the existing thread. Sometimes you start a new thread in which the OP is literally a response to the last post in an existing thread. Sometimes you attempt to disguise this behavior by claiming you are talking about a new subject, only to make it clear as the "new" thread progresses, that you are talking about same subject as in prior threads. This clutters the board with threads that are all about the same topic and is disrespectful to those who are misled by your OP.
Despite many promises to stop posting new threads on the same topic, you continued to do just that. The mega thread approach is a way that moderators have dealt with similar issues in the past. Moving posts on the same topic into one thread is not throwing them in the trash can. It is putting them where they should be -- in one topic. If people don't want to discuss a topic that you think is important, your solution is not to spam the board with multiple threads on the same topic or mislead other board users by trying to disguise the topic of your posts. No one has an obligation to post on a topic that you think is important.
From a moderator perspective, you are just as welcome as any other user. But starting new threads on the same topic simply because you are not getting the attention you think you deserve is not welcome posting behavior.

I don't know if DT is a right winger, I kind of doubt it, but I don't think he's a "liberal" either.
You have no idea what Gadianton has and hasn't read. His post was about his opinion of your political alignment, not whether you were an intel or a red pillar. Moreover, no one has an obligation to take your description of yourself at face value. People can and will form their opinions of you based on their reading of your posts and your posting behavior. Whether their opinions are right or wrong, they are allowed to express them here.

you’re relying
heavily on sources and ideas put forth by questionable right-wing groups.
It's clear some people here have been successful in
assassinating my character. I am sure there are millions of right-wing groups on the internet, so it's very easy to find and cherry-pick some parts to make me look like them.
Let's see. Gadianton said he didn't think you were a right winger. And canpakes said nothing about your politics, but about sources and ideas you rely on. If that's your definition of character assassination, I'd suggest you go back upthread and pay close attention to the meme Doc posted.

researcher and an aggressive critic of the red pill). A lot of the things they say sound like the things I say.

Here, Thinking-Ape (another
critic of the Red Pill ) talks about some of the things I said.
Here, TYT and Vaush talk about how the left has ignored young, single men.
You can't get any more left-wing than TYT.

The claim that I am heavily relying on right-wing sources is horrendously false! That's called character assassination.
No, it's not called character assassination. At worst, what cp said is factually wrong. The incel, red pill, pick up artist, etc. communities are not exclusively composed of right-wing folks. But folks in those communities will rely on whatever ideas support the point of view in those communities, regardless of where on the political spectrum those ideas fall.
