I’ve seen plenty of posts around here lately about how we should explain things patiently to the liberals. But it’s hard to be patient when they come into our communities uninvited and start an argument over something that’s so obvious to us, over and over again, especially when they’re also full of american chauvinism (I recall one guy a while ago who didn’t believe the occupation of south Korea was real). It’s plain frustrating and not conducive to a meaningful discussion. Besides, can’t speak for others, but personally I sometimes want to enjoy fellow communists’ posts without having some lib causing a mess in the comment section.

I think isolating them into a particular community (maybe call it something like /c/debatecommunism) could be helpful for the following reasons:

• We can engage on our own terms. When I feel like debating, I could go there and do it. When not, enjoy the rest of the site without being bothered by them. That’d also make it easier to be patient with them.
• Have past questions in one place. If someone is genuinely there to ask questions in good faith, they could read a previous thread if the question was already recently asked.
• Could make a sidebar or a stickied post with links to resources.
• If some experienced people are willing to moderate such a community, it would have more effective moderation than the current state of moderation falling on whoever happens to be the mods of the community the argument started in, or on the site admins if something is reported. There is a line between debating and just insulting us or being racist towards whoever is liberals’ designated enemy right now.

With “isolate”, I mean, creating the “debate communism” (or whatever other name we’d choose) community, and a policy of reporting/removing liberal-attempting-to-debate-us comments everywhere else on this instance.

Thoughts? Are there any downsides to this that I have failed to see? Are the obnoxious posters from other instances not a big deal for everyone else and I’m the only one who is bothered?

(I’m sorry if I phrased something badly. I’m really not good at words…)
