Was that the only thread you started today that recommends a particular YouTube channel?
The thread was started yesterday to provide a look into why many voters are being drawn towards the optimism the Republicans influences are producing compared to my Democrat party.

Maybe the thread you're thinking about is the one I started today that's dedicated to black men and why they are leaving the Democrat party?
I want to quote Hound quoting Shades. Can someone quote me doing this?

Dr. Shades, I believe your Moderator Canpakes is demonstrating bias against me once more, as he modified an image I created that featured a public figure's head on a ferry's body. Kishkumen has become a public figure with his YouTube channel, similar to those of John Dehlin, RFM, and Bill Reel.

My question for you, Dr. Shades, is whether it is permissible to share images of Bill Reel, RFM, or John Dehlin in a post I create here in Spirit Paradise? They are public figures with YouTube channels accessible to all, just like Kishkumen. If posting images from YouTube is prohibited, then why is your moderator Canpakes interfering with the images I share?

Kishkumen recently shared a photo of himself alongside a friend at a no kings rally, which took place approximately two weeks ago.

Your moderator Canpakes seems to be displeased with my adherence to the rules and my decision to challenge the progressive narrative that he and his friends promote on this board.

I asked canpakes to remove it. I appreciate canpakes doing so. I will ask you directly: please afford me the same courtesy we do most posters here by not posting my image on the board. I know a lot of people here. I do not post their images on this board. Most people know Dr. Shades. He has appeared in numerous videos and on podcasts. We do not post his image here. If I knew who you were, I would not post your image here. OK?

I'll respect your wishes. But are you ok with people posting images of Dan Peterson and joking on his looks?

Thank you, HoH. I very much appreciate your humanity in respecting my wishes.

For the record, I eventually gave up on being a board nanny about images of DCP and ridicule of him. I repeatedly, for years, objected to the discourteous and downright abusive treatment of DCP on this board to no avail. I think it regularly goes overboard, and I object to it.

I wish people would refrain from making fun of DCP's appearance and posting pictures of him here only to poke fun at him.

Oh, my. So many bad assumptions, and now you reveal that you actually wanted to photoshop Kish’s head onto a ferry?

I can help you with this. How about if I use the image of the ferry below?

Both images would be funny, but I don't want either of them posted here.

Did someone call for a therapist? I'm a little busy right now but I can make room if I need to. :)

I understand your perspective on Canpakes needing therapy, but could you both refrain from having a therapy session in my thread? Perhaps you could share your phone number with Canpakes so that you can provide counsel over the phone.
