Apparently, he is an educated man. Yes. Now, I'm quite certain that I hate him.

I'm not sure. If I knew such a thing, would that make me the St. Peter of USPO

Re: Slur-mongering
I was banned from Burger King. Apparently, they didn't like people gettin' busy in their bathroom.
I was also warned to stay out of the Woolsworth. I'm not sure if it was just that one branch in Mississippi or the whole chain.

Re: Slur-mongering
Actually, it's harder to find places where you haven't been banned. Perhaps this should tell you something about your posting?

Slur-mongering There would be little point in that, goodtrips, when the slurs also emanate from the moderating team. e.g.; Drgoodtrips; Quote:
On partitioning Iraq You see, victimization is a terrible thing, huck, and people don't take kindly to it. When they are persistently libeled, as I am, by being smeared as an 'anti-semite' (sic) or a 'jew hater', to quote yourself, they look to self-protection. That means 'the law'. Now, whether you are aware of it or not, membership of this forum demands that you waive any liability charges , as in libel for example, should you become libeled as a result of membership here. I am most certainly libeled by being called 'anti-semite'(sic) and jew -hater, but my only recourse, short of challenging the waiver, is to complain to the staff, such as you, huck, and leave it to their discretion as to what action they will take. I'm no 'anti-semite' nor 'jew-hater' and it's an insult to be called such. That's where my complaint comes in, not the vagaries of the 'report post' button, which members are encouraged to use in 'the rules' thread, but right here in this public forum which exists for the purposes of improving the site. It's an insult, you see, being libeled, and insults are against the forum rules. N.B.; Quote:
So then, the purpose of this thread, if it isn't clear already, is to request a clarification of site policy. Is the site going to allow libel and insult, when a member complains about it, or is it not ? It's a question that shouldn't have to be asked but the 'report post' option has failed me. The P.M option has failed me- I'm still being libeled. Currently, as anyone can see by checking links or post reports, some libel has been removed, for which I am indeed thankful, and other libels remain. I am only asking for consistency. I'd be pleased to deal with it myself in open forum but, to my cost, I've discovered that retaliation brings reprimands and bans. Not a very healthy course of action under the current uncertainties. If the staff will be required to remove libel when requested then I'd be grateful if that decision worked in retrospect and the existing insults were deleted. If the insults are to be left undeleted, against the stated policy of the site, then I'll just take my chances . It would be more fitting if the loaded dice were discarded though. Thank you. |

Re: Slur-mongering
Moon, who I have not yet engaged in any back-and-forth with, seems to be correct in his assertions.
As a disinterested viewer, I see many rules violations that go unaddressed. And unfortunately, most of these pissing contests are begun by rightward-leaning guests of this site. And , like in football, the retaliatory strike is what is flagged. Moon has taken a lot of shit for his views. But he is not alone. The left as a whole has been called just about every name in the book. Taking a cursory view at War and Peace posts, I found these- Quote:
Yet they stand unchallenged by the powers that be. None were aimed in my direction, and I doubt that I will ever report any (im)poster who thinks he has the capacity to insult me. But different people have different tolerance levels. Day after day of this shit must get to some people. Regardless of ones' geographical location, these unfounded accusations are uncalled for. All of the petulant toddlers should receive time-outs, not just one half of the problem. Frankly, that does not seem to be occurring in any consistant manner.

Re: Slur-mongering
I have to disagree with you, Mrs. M. While there have been a couple particularly nasty left-wing people (gone now) on this site, the vast majority of the unpleasantness comes from the right.
