No, the clear preponderance is teabaggers. For example, nobody other than teabaggers (Nazis) are allowed to post flaming, baiting bashing and purely lying posts as an OP and then continue on smirking in their knowing, dishonest asswipe, and say, well you are attacking the messenger, or derailing, or the other false modesty diarrhea they spew, brietbart, boortz, the mail, limbaugh, wnd, zerohedge, and other various and sundry blogging imbeciles who have repeatedly been proven to be ignorant, issueless, factless and shitstirring liars with an extremist terroristic bent.


And there is one in particular that has been treated like they are not one of the old socks, even being defended by a moderator when it is beyond clear that they are. We had that same thing with Arpig, who got a great many thrown off the site all the while being touted by moderators as not who he was.


No apologies or reparations were forthcoming, however.


Yeah, so I have had countless pumpkin papers served on me replete with a torrent of restrictions since those foul and false catamites have appeared.

That the lefties run this section of the forums is a foregone conclusion.

Bullshit and I have the long list of gold letters to prove it.

I'm adding my vote of Bullshit.
If the lefties run this section of the forum, them why have so many of them gone on Mod assisted vacation in the last few months?

I'm curious as to the what lefties have gone on mod assisted vacations? I don't know any. I know half a dozen righties that send me emails because they were banned.

I'm not saying there aren't any, but I am curious.

right off the top of my head....owner has been on vacation a few times but he hasn't come around much lately. Sternskipper, IIRC was also put on mod.

I texted you yesterday and asked you to remove your forum avatar. You did not comply. I removed it for you. It was offensive to many users and therefore, while not a printed rule as to the specific occurrence, I asked you to remove it because of the widespread reaction to it.

Well the reverse can be said in my case, I get a great many 'lefties' who are writing me from moderation, and not a single rightwinger (although I used to for awhile, until I dissuaded him from his belief that I thought his missives worthy of other than wiping my ass with).


In order of moderations you would be wrong. I have several people who can back me on this.

For those who post here still, the longest or most or collectively longest moderations (in order are):

thompsonx (you would call a leftie)
mnottertail (you would call a leftie)
FirmHandKY (you would call a rightie)
TheHeretic (you would call a rightie)


after that? You think you guys are on moderation? You are just children fucking around.

Yeah, I do have to agree this is a pretty egregious abuse of moderator discretion.

Mods are here to enforce the rules. People can show bruises, beatings, whips, chains - but political speach where you dressed as trayvon martin is not allowed?

We have rules about free speech in society exactly to protect unpopular speech. Popular speech doesn't need protection.

You're absolutely correct. It came right from the top which only underscores my point.

Thank you. I purposely left the name off so as not to "out" anyone.

This isn't happening.

That's a lie. And the practice is getting more common, and ever more blatant.

Claiming that a thread about an ideological wing in the forum is the same as singling out an individual?

Deleting a thread and prohibiting the subject from P&R, when those who turn every tragedy involving a firearm into a smear of all gun owner have a mass murderer who used a bus shoved back at them?

Shark jump. Ain't buying it.

Alpha repeatedly said that haytch house and the various and sundry alters were not Arpig even as she was banning others for saying it was so.

So, that is weak tea for a cold.

Well since we are just talking freely…I would propose that the report feature be limited to only direct threats of violence and child porn.

I am all for the moderators stepping in as they review threads and if they see TOS being violated then disciplining as needed. But too many people use the report feature as a weapon when they are unable to keep up and defend their position intellectually.

The experiment of low moderation awhile back worked just fine and the thread was one of the most interesting we have had. We should have more of that and less squabbling over what is attacking a poster and what defending a position

I believe the report button should be removed from the post box and all complaints should be posted publicly in a moderator thread at the top of the room.
