I'm not going to mention names.
In a thread, I was having an argument then it got out of hand and when I started to tell everyone to back off, one user told me "typical republican" (I'm a republican) "telling people to stop a debate when they lose." And they also did that "typical republican..." Several other times. At first, it was annoying, then it became hurtful when I told them multiple times that I only posted that because I didn't want anyone to get in trouble with the mods. The thing that hurts me the most is when I'm telling someone the truth, then they say I'm a liar. And before anyone who was on that thread gets smug, I was expecting a 1-on-1 argument, not a 10-on-1 argument. And you have to think, don't democrats also make mistakes and back down? Are the republicans the only ones who do it? That did NOT make it through that persons head... Because no one is perfect. And I also didn't just back down. I didn't want any trouble. I'm starting to think that that person just was aubsessed with discriminating republicans.

pro-tip: if you wanna actually resolve something and not make it worse, making passive-aggressive threads about people is not the way to go. you actually talk to the person you're upset with instead of being childish about it

Politics can be a touchy thing, unfortunately. Sorry that happened to you. Everybody's views should be respected regardless of your party.

Tbh everyone's bashing republicans because it's "hip" and "cool" :/
This is why poltics was a really big no no on the old forums. And should be on these forums too.
(I don't identify with either party so I laugh at both sides)

And (luckily) the thread was deleted. ok then. let it go. i know it's annoying and you probably don't feel too good about it rn. but honestly if you're upset/bothered let it go. you're gonna start a new argument by being petty and passive-aggressive

1. it wasn't ten on one there were people on your side, not on your side, and neutral 2. it was supposed to be a DEBATE not an argument and it didn't get out of hand AT ALL? idk why you requested it get deleted 3. if you go into a DEBATE. go into it with maturity. and expecting people not to agree. make your points and rebuttals calmly, not while threatening to close the topic or refusing to discuss it at all

if you feel the need to rant, privately message a friend or two because tbh its not very mature to do it where it could easily start another argument

I didn't know if it was appropriate or not. And I was hoping for more of a one-on-one, not super in depth one. I deleted the rules when I tried to delete a comment. I'm also quite young so I'm not as sure on rules as you guys. I was just trying to be safe. And I had said "does SOMEONE" want to debate, not a lot of people. I also knew that polotics could get sentisive so, in the guidelines, I posted to not get into certain things that the mods might not like. (same-sex-marriage and abortions) I don't want to start an argument!

Maybe you should message someone one on one if you wanted it to be a one person thing? There's also a group chat option if you want more than one person involved so you have options if you ever want to try again, more comfortably

I did mention it then someone quoted the word then they asked why I didn't like them because I said I liked trumps stand against them then a whole other topic sprung. And all I did was say I like Trump multiple reasons and that was one of them. I didn't mean to bring up a topic and that's why I didn't get into detail.
