Moderator Abuse and M14 Shooter's Ban

If you can't call a person an animal, does that mean they are
either a vegetable or a mineral?
 
We have all learned a lesson here which can only strengthen the bond of community. My highest kudos go to this community for its sense of fairplay, and to Shuamort for not allowing common pride to suborn his personal integrity. When all is said and done, we will depart this thread with lessons learned and lessons savored. Outstanding and remarkable.

The only thing I learned from this thread was that Shuamort and pacridge are the only ones in this thread that have rabbits in their pictures. I also learned how to type the word "competent". I knew how to spell it, just not how to type it.

See... you learned two obscure things. Shuamort and Pacridge have a kinky weakness for bunny tails, and your fingers are quite competent at typing competent ;)
 
I find on other sites also that mods are more often a source of problems than solution. Says something the 'busybody big bruv' types that become mods I guess. Oh well at least he's apologised.

Our mods here actually do a very good job. Everyone is human and bound to lose their tempers, especially on hot button issues. That being said, unlike most other forums, our mods recognize the voices of the members and are willing to correct mistakes that are made. Thats what makes this place rock!!

Except when it comes to me, they look the other way. Most of that is on me because I think the report button is for ******s. But I've been on the receiving end of a posters bombastic rhetoric right in front of a mod and he didn't say anything at all. Just looked the other way. Don't ask me who it was because I'm not gonna say. I'm no rat. I just bring it up to make my point.

Sometimes I wanna report you for being an O'Reilly hater, but I stay my mouse, and think, it would get me no where. Yes, Billo, I actually USE my brain, despite what you may have thought. lol

Well, I would guess, from reading your posts and discussing issues with you myself, that you are quite capable of defending yourself against a personal attack. You have a measure of wit and intelligence that I think makes you more than capable.

Or, they could look the other way because of posts like this.

Oh I agree...I hold no respect for him personally beyond the respect everyone is due...and that respect includes freedom of speech and ideas. If he ever comes back and you decide to rip him a new one as a matter of debate, I would gladly uphold your right to do that too.

Upstairs, I just politely stay in his face. Downstairs, it's un-bridled carnege.

This is true, I used to mod on another site in which I will not name, and I stopped moderating because the other mods (not all) was banning everyone who did not agree with them and I seen this as a dictatorial site instead of free opinion within reasonable expressions. This board seems to be pretty lenient to us but I did like M-14 and hope his ban may be lifted in time.

WHAT!?!?!?!!? I'll have you know that I have only been wrong once and I killed the only person that knew of it.

In other words...I don't know what you are talking about.

This was very commendable of you moderators. Has anyone contacted him and made him aware that he has been "freed" from the embarrassment of bannishment?

By the way...what is a "troll?"

Yes, he has been notified, but I don't think there's been any sign of him back. Maybe if some of the other board members tried emailing him or something he might be persuaded to come back.......;)

I didn't know what a troll was until recently....still not exactly sure. But basically it is a person who posts unsubstantial material with the sole purpose of inflaming debates. Over time this stunts their growth, causes their skin to turn green and makes them lose their apartments so they are forced to live under bridges and only have live goats for sustenance. It's a tragic waste of life.

M14 was not contributing to the debate. He was just trolling and mimicking what Shuamort was saying. He does the same thing with me. He just keeps repeating the same thing over and over like a 5 year old child. He lobby-ed to have someone call the FBI on my ass because he didn't like what I was saying. There is probably no one on this board that I think less of (and have no respect for) than M14.

You tried to give him some semblance of credibility. He will never have that in my book until he shows some sign of maturity in his posts. What I mean by that is that you have to bring something new to the table everytime someone provides evidence to refute your claim. You, cannot simply restate your position and think that is a valid rebuttal. That is bullshit. You [GySgt] do not do this. You personally address and attack every new point with new evidence of your own. That is why you have my respect. I don't think I disagree politically with anyone more than you. But I also respect you more than just about everyone on this board for rolling up your sleeves and not running away or acting like a child.

You and I are going to lock horns many times. But I never take it personal. Nor would I ever think of turning you in to the FBI!
