But, it is pretty sad how people on here are happy to let someone get completely railed on just because he says something someone else doesn't agree with.

I'm not sure what you're referring to here? Crown Royal railing on WO? Because by my estimation 8+ people took the initiative to join the "mob" (as you usually call it) and criticize Crown, and I'm not sure anyone that didn't explicitly criticize him agreed with Crown's approach.
Or are you talking about Crown getting railed on by 8+ people at once? Of which you were one?
I don't know. I do find it funny that 3-4 of the most common "mob justice" critics were pleased as punch to join in on
this one. I think it's just difficult to take you seriously when you're no stranger to personal attacks but wax poetic about "discourse" when it suits you. You practically troll New Era in the American Politics thread at every available opportunity (and he trolls you back, no judgements made here).
Thing is, for all that's said about the internet mob, about personal attacks or discourse or bias or whatever, the majority of you who want to make it an issue lean into it so comfortably when it suits you, that it's just meaningless at this point. I mean I buy Corsi talking about discourse, guy tries constantly to keep it civil, but Azure talking about discourse? Ask him about an electric car and tell me what you think about his level of discourse.
A lot of people rightly disagreed with Crown's approach, but maybe it is sad that the people who pretend to hold up these values that are so important have zero problem dropping them when it suits them. At that point, why are you even bothering to criticise Crown? Who are you pretending for?
