You missed the whole point. It doesn't matter if you are that party when they just shout over you the whole time. They were brigading to make the space unusable. They were even attempting to get the place shut down by breaking reddits anti-evil policies. Trying to silence me by using the hecklers veto doesn't deserve welcome. I like moderepolitics, but they do a ton of work at keeping that crap down. Conservative just locked it down as their answer.

I'm a conservative, I occasionally go there. It's a result of a lot of BS from other subs like politics, etc. They were regularly getting brigaded. People would come in and tell them they were aweful pieces of shit and then be surprised when their view wasn't "respected". They wanted equal time to tell you how wrong your views were, except they would come 8:1. They used the hecklers veto to the extreme and the result is what you see.
