This thread is a petition to remove Spank as a mod - Page 7 - Politics version 7.0 -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

spank,

as the forums foremost pretender of cyber-bullying expertise, on a scale of 1-10 (10 being bullying so extreme you should call the authorities), how would you rank bruce's threats towards pvn?

Do you have an opinion on how people treat each other online compared to face to face? It is a challenging topic to address, evidently.

Is the topic too much of a challenge to address?

Please stop. You are only hurting yourself and everyone can see.™

Also, you prove you have no business moderating a politics forum if you consider cyberbullying to be outrage at blatantly racist posts (so blatant that BruceZ later trackbacked to claim he'd need "a hole in his head" to have meant them seriously) and the related outrage at BruceZ making threats against those offended by his posts.

You're a trolling joke.

I am not yet an expert, but do have access to expert advice and I am taking responsibility to educate myself completely on the matter.

i may be mistaken, but i believe bruce sent pvn a threatening PM, as well as started a thread wherein he made further threats, including threats to dox pvn

so, assume that was the situation for the sake of our hypothetical

Hypothetically, BruceZ should have gotten a permission slip from Mat Sklansky in order to bully pvn.

I guess spank is available for questions, but not available for answers

kinda odd, since trying to change the subject off of him leads to him going dead silent

He made an empty vague threat that pvn wouldn't like continuing the argument. Just like his empty threats to come to politics with his friends and use his super-logic skills to show everyone how smart he was and how dumb the politics regs were.

Well, that info would be easy to ascertain if mat didn't lock the only remaining thread and move the most pertinent one to the mod forum.

Like, what did you expect would happen from this clearly logical, not racist mod?

At this point i don't know who is more unhinged or is having a more fantastic meltdown - bruce or spank.

Unless there was more code words going on than usual I didn't see any threat to dox pvn either. I suppose a non-specific threat could include that but it wasn't called out specifically.

which is rather dumb, because what is it supposed to do, scare pvn into silence?

I don't have an opinion. I have decided it is none of my business.

I would just ignore the guys(no disrespect to you here ctyri) allegations and comments that you should be removed as mod.

This is unchained, folks are allowed to be a bit more critical of things then on other threads.

what are folks complaining about irt spanktehbanwookie? Is it merely the fact that Silverman2 was not banned quick enough? If so, thats a poor complaint IMO.

Of course. That is the easy part. Thanks for your concern.

I am curious about people's opinion concerning how people treat each other online compared with face to face.

What would an in-person unchained-type environment look like? If I printed out a random unchained thread and had people read the different parts out like a face to face conversation, what would it sound like?

spank nobody wants to discuss any of that **** with you because you're dishonest and insane. Kind of pointless to participate in a dialogue.

Hey now, be nice.

Hating on people with mental illness is taken very seriously around here just like hating people for the color of their skin.

Interesting that, according to an informal and ongoing investigation, the two most likely group of people to be shot by police are men who have non-white skin and men who have mental illness. And then there is the overlap of the two...

It's the truth. People who are mid-to-post breakdown, like you, aren't really capable of contributing. That's not your fault, necessarily, but it is a fact.

spank are you heading towards something like "nobody should say anything critical of another poster because the other poster may just be mentally ill" as a new rule? With I guess an extra new rule that "insane" has been added to the unacceptable personal attack list?

For POLITICS UNCHAINED?

Like, I'm not a therapist, but I'm pretty sure "ignoring the problem and treating insane people as if they are perfectly fine" is not the recommended therapy. I realize it might be the next step as you try to build a justification for your insane "nobody gets called racist" goal, but that's not something you're going to get anyone else to fall in line with.

"Hey an insane racist wants to chat about politics, let's all gather round and civilly listen to his valuable insights" is not how it works in real life or on the internet.
