I'm guessing it got nuked because several of us revealed what our real names are.

Did people reveal their own names or were people revealing other people's names?

Their own. And completely of their own volition too.

Mostly the former, although it started with one instance of the latter. To be fair, that person had their real name as their handle on here for years until they apparently suffered IRL harassment/threats. So, it's something of an open secret with most forum members agreeing not to revert back to referring to them by any real identifying info. But, it's not a hard rule or anything.

It's so hard to imagine you being civil and not dropping a Republicunt here and a fucktard there.  Hilarious

There's no incentive for it.  There are so many fucktards and so little time.

Can I check your breath?

No.

And I won't take my shirt off so you can check those, either.


It would be no trouble at all, my pleasure really.

I closed it for various reasons. The threads are now in Off Topic. I don't really want to go into further details.
