It's not that I don't agree that these people are stupid cunts, just that you can't say the forum contributes to any political leaning. It's not a politically-leaning forum. It's members talk about politics, but we have as many right wingers as left wingers, plenty of centrists, socialists, etc. It's a mixed bag of nuts here.
OP, it's perfectly relevant to talk about the guy's political affiliation. It looks an awful lot like he was killing people for their political affiliation. Sorry, but left nuts have to get called out as much as right nuts.
It is hardly just one person. Yes, the forum isn't set up to be politically biased, but politically there is very little disagreement on here and the disagreement there is, is viciously attacked routinely. I don't think any sort of conservative sticks around for long because of it, which turns it into an echo chamber. It definitely not just one person who says that people who disagree are stupid. That's probably a majority opinion here. Ironically the religious talk is far more tolerant.
I feel like you must not frequent the forum much or only see a part of it. We have a lot of conservative long-time members. Even the guy who formed the forum has some conservative views, though he's socially liberal to some degree. There is a ton of political disagreement here. It's been going on for years. I get into political debates on here quite regularly. They certainly aren't threads filled with people all agreeing and patting each other on the back.
As for it being one person, you were talking about headlines. Those headlines come from a small group of people, possibly even just one.
