I think it does.

I didn't blame or attack anyone in the post to which you responded, I merely raised a question.

There would be little point in that, goodtrips, when the slurs also emanate from the moderating team. e.g.;

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.;


Now, if I were an 'anti-semite' (sic) then I'd have no just cause for complaint. But I'm not. Not even a 'jew-hater', huck. Neither you nor anybody else will be able to find any evidence at all to back up those libels. It doesn't exist. Being appalled by the brutality of nationalist Zionism does not make me hate Judaism nor jews and I am not responsible for your inability to discern between terms, particularly when several members, including me, have several times taken the trouble to point out the differences.

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.

I demand that you cease and desist from your libelous implication that I am, in fact, the fictional character "Huckleberry Finn" (which is apparent from your shortening of "Huckleberry" to "Huck"). Anything less will result in immediate legal action against your person. I, like you, enjoy quibbling endlessly over semantics.

By the way, you amuse me

I am not antisemitic, I am not a jew-hater and claims to the contrary are libellous and insulting.
Don't libel me again, Drgoodtrips, and if I report an insulting and libellous post, as per site rules, just do your job as expected.

That's if insults and libel are not permitted here, of course, and I don't believe they are.

Frankly, that does not seem to be occurring in any consistant manner.

The thing you are overlooking here is that you do not know who receives warnings or points. So your claim that it is only one side is baseless.

As to the OP, moon loves to complain, but he also loves to dish it out. If you are a dispassionate observer, you can easily come up with a list similar to the one you posted here, coming from moon.

Moon rarely complains, and only then when libel is left unaddressed or some creep gets moon reprimanded for defending himself.

You could spend all day here reporting posts, maybe some do, but libel is a different matter, a serious matter and clearly against USPOL rules.

Anybody calling me 'antisemitic' or 'a jew hater' is going to get reported, fair warning.

Just out of curiosity, was your calling me sycophantic for supporting Marc's right to place advertisements on his own website "libelous?"

Probably not. I would have weighed your earnest support for the bawss in a jocular thread , considered whether it went beyond what was necessary, decided that it did and reacted accordingly.

I must have considered that it could be demonstrated or I wouldn't have used the term.

Anybody that wants to demonstrate that I'm ' a jew-hater' is welcome to try. More's the pity that there are no penalties for failure, apart from looking like a thick hick in public.

Whining about slurs, while dishing them out in the very thread you created to whine about slurs?

Earth to proUSA! You should have kept reading the thread before making this unnecessary post.

[Mark_Twain]

I just have one thing that needs clarification. It appears, from time to time, that certain posters on this thread might have a mean anti-Semitic streak. Is this true?

Too much for me to decipher. I guess it must be funny though.

Not surprising. I'll break it down for you.

You created this thread about the "slurs" you were receiving.
In this thread, you have directed slurs at others.

Perhaps you can see why your complaints ring rather hollow.

No, I haven't. If you think I have you'd better look again.

Then you can apologise and move on.

Don't hurry, Larson, take your time, the damages are accruing. Lol.
