We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

What's the purpose of telling people to kill themselves versus discussing abortion? In the case of the latter, you might see me argue in favor of abortion because it preserves a woman's autonomy by denying her abusive partner yet another means of control. But in making that argument, I'm trying to demonstrate why I support abortion over banning it. It contributes to the discussion.
Getting told to put a gun in my mouth won't hurt my feelings, but it's purely toxic. It adds absolutely no value to the discussion.
I'm 90% certain you're talking about me and at least one other person that I know of. Frankly, I think we add to the argument half of discussions/arguments. I do not agree with conservative policies at all, but I'm still interested in how conservatives square the circle between reality and their beliefs. At best, with conservatives actually interested in arguing, we help them work out the weaknesses in their argument. I will readily admit a good point, even one I disagree with. At worst, it looks like we're trolling because some conservative members don't bother actually thinking through their beliefs and would rather resort to telling people to kill themselves.
I don't have any concrete recommendations, for you, honestly. If it were me, I'd focus on generating discussions and arguments about conservative news. I don't think it's enough to say "Don't do X, Y, Z". They have their place certainly, but wanting to talk about news content doesn't automatically follow. Maybe if posters had to like...quote something from the article, or add their opinion as a comment or whatever. Idk, but actively encouraging what you want out of the community is better than merely discouraging what you don't want, imho.
I look forward to how you resolve the issue of upholding free speech while wanting to facilitate discussions and arguments.
Jue like you!
...who even are you?
Momo, he is adding to the discussion. Do you honestly not see that?
No, I don't see why one of the perpetual leftist spammers crying that moderation doesn't favor him enough despite him facing no punishment while everyone who calls his bullshit does is considered worthwhile contribution.
