"balanced" as in the the constant ratchet effect of moving the reasonable overtone window more and more to the right under the false guise of "neutrality and civility"

This forum has a high proportion of unscientific nonsense that would have been viciously mocked by "hackers" at this forums founding. (Climate change and covid denial. Basic security fails from big corpos. Plaintext passwords etc)

This place is "balanced" the same way 4chan is . One of the last places these people feel secure in their insanity .

Nope, balanced as in people are allowed to have a balanced viewpoint of things. And don't worry - even back in the founding days, there were still flat earthers and climate deniers and vaccine skeptics. These people are still downvoted to hell here.

I don't know if it ever came back up, but you should go spend a little time on /b/ - you seem to have forgotten how bad that site is.
