giving him shit for a slow response when he is not even logged in?

Well, it's a gross discourtesy to make a false claim and then log out, wouldn't you say ?

Anyhow, I recognise I'm being baited, anyone with any sense can see I'm being baited and you can't report being baited to those who are baiting you.

Solution ? Pull back and kick the dog. Lol.

Edit;
It's a pity that nobody actually came out and made a definitive statement on the site rules on insults and how they are handled. Now we're going to have to go through it all again next time.

baited? I only see people calling you on your shit.

The moderation is fair, if members pursue their complaints beyond what would be reasonably expected, but leaving libel in posts, even after complaints have been lodged, reflects badly on its commitment, not to mention its impartiality.


Everybody accepts a little 'disguised' roughing-up. Heckling is an accepted part of public speaking, or should be, but blatant libel stinks. Libel 'lowers the quality of debate for everyone'.

Where's the action ?

a quick comment if I may.

I think Moon raises a valid point.

I have been quite disappointed at the way moderators on this forum accept that it is OK to label Moon a jew hater, anti semite, terrorist sympathiser etc, when there is no evidence to support any of these allegations.

when I glanced through this thread I even see a moderator unashamedly saying that he doesn't bother reading Moon's posts, yet still seems to believe that he somehow 'knows' that Moon is anti semitic.

I have seen a lot of evidence that Moon posts information about what is happening to Palestinians, which is probably a point of view you rarely get in the US. I think it is valid that Moon posts these threads. There are too many threads on this forum started by various others that repeatedly promote anti Palestinian points of view and Moon does a service by starting threads that at least go some way to counterbalancing this bias.

In actual fact, anyone claiming Moon is anti semitic either doesn't read his posts, or hasn't got a clue what anti semitism really is.

I commend Moon for standing up. Its time more of us took a stand against the insults that are hurled at people who don't have the same world view as those who have nothing to do all day but insult other posters.

Well to resolve this concern of yours about being called a Jew-hater, one only has to point out some post where he/she supported the Jewish.

I'd like to say that the onus is on the accuser to make a case, not on the defendant. That's the way justice works, ProUSA, although many have forgotten that in their arrogance and lust for power. You maybe just forgot about that simple rule though, what with the pursuit and all, in favor of Bush's 'Ducking Stool' doctrine- if he/she drowns it's a sign of innocence. If they don't drown, burn 'em.

Garbage, of course.

You got anything else you'd like to say, ProUSA ?

Even a defendant needs to help his own case.

As I understand it, the prosecution first produces their 'evidence'. Failure to do so results in the judge declaring the case closed. (and a severe reprimand for the prosecution, with any luck , or we'll all be back next week )

There isn't any evidence for the prosecution to produce so we're just waiting for the judge.

I just hope there isn't too much childishness in the courtroom before the judge stands up.

But if the defendant doesn't provide counter argument, how can the Judge decide whether the prosecutions evidence is valid or crap.

Why do you want to string it out ? There isn't any evidence at all that I'm 'anti-semitic' or a 'jew-hater'. None has been presented. Arcane waffle about my involvement with Middle East news doesn't cut it. It's just a disgusting libel, and a libel which should have been acted upon. It's a libel forged by those who have nowhere else to hide.

Well, here is a question then.....And my last reply to this thread.

If I would post day in and day out about crime committed by black men; "would you not think that I was racist against black men"?

[moon]

Only a complete and utter moron would draw such a conclusion.

I'd be more inclined to think that you had a tiny pecker.

Kind of the same when you accuse others of doing things they haven't...its a nasty habbit of the left just to label people as things "Bush is a war criminal", "Republicans are fear-mongerers", "Israel commits genocide" and on and on. When it happens to you personally its not so nice is it?

[moon]

When it happens to you personally it's libel and libel is against the rules.
Have you actually read the thread ? I posted the relevant rules up.

what happens when someone takes one of those slurs personally? Much like your slurs against the US military. I was a member, so I tend to take many slurs made against the military as a personal slur against me.

EDIT: Mainly I think people here should just man-the-fuck-up and get over it.
