I thought so. It wasn't clear whether if Bruce satisified this condition:

Assuming a need for a moderator arose. The only reason for Bruce to moderate a forum is that he is the best person to moderate that forum. Should he satisfy that condition then yes I would be fine with him moderating again.

and this:

Quote:

Bruce to recognize his racism, apologize to everyone for being a giant ******* and a racist, pledge to be less racist in the future, and then take himself, you, Foldn, and #TeamSMP back to the stinking hole you came from.

then that would be sufficient for you to think it preferable Bruce was here as mod than not here at all?

This ****ing guy, how many times are you going to ask the same question?

You ever going to get to the part where you list a single concrete thing anyone could have done differently?

No it isn't. A thief or a sexual predator can re-offend without the necessary people seeing exactly what is happening almost immediately. Also 15+ years of history is a lot in the plus column when knowing someones character as mod.

I take it you genuinely don't care if Bruce is a mod or not.

The idea that an accurate portrayal of events which accounts for nearly every reasonable concern has been floating around now for months.

That might be illuminating. Consider the following. Bold has been added

The question is whether this person will not abuse his position such that whatever good he's doing is completely offset by the damage he's inflicting. BruceZ, as a moderator, has already accumulated significant negative accomplishments and exhibited numerous negative qualities:

A long history of posting fact racist garbage opinion
A long history fact of attacking others opinion
Abusing his position opinion to threaten and silence others this characterization is fact?
Attacking other mods in moderators' forum fact?
Refusing to apologize for his behavior fact
Refusing to gracefully step down as a moderator fact to avoid controversy. opinion
Having a motley crew of "supporters" fact (although "motley" is subjective) who pollute various forums opinion to bring him back with terrible arguments. opinion

He definitely has some insanely off-the-carts obsession issues and a couple serious cognitive faults, but he seems to be enjoying himself quite a bit in these exchanges.

Can you make a much more specific and non- metaphoric moral position on the matter? Because this post simply equates Bruce to a thief, which sounds like an appeal to emotion related to moral feeling about theft.

As far as I can tell you have only supported your moral argument by stating 'that's racist'. What I would like see described is why and how discussing ideas in a science or philosophy forum is immoral?

OJ Simpson went almost 47 years without killing anyone. Is that how we know his character? Maybe we should make him a mod?

I think the compromise that makes no one completely happy is that at least some posts that people like Fly or dids think is racist should be tolerated, to their consternation, while accusations that the people who post those things are racists should be tolerated, to the consternation of people like you.

Nobody gets what they want and we have vigorous conflict. (Well, I get what I want.)

So can BruceZ! Why can't he abuse the information he gets to see (ip address? email address?) as a mod without Mat or other mods finding out?

Edit: not to mention that Mat & Co can't read every post or review every mod decision, etc.

Edit2: also, one can install surveillance cameras everywhere in the house.

So you say but I don't think even you have claimed he was modding probability in racist manner.

Phone Booth brings up a good point - there is basically nobody anywhere who gives two ****s about who gets to mod the probability form. Literally nobody has ever even spent two seconds thinking about it. Why I didn't even know there was a probability forum!

The fact that your boy managed somehow to get fired from the world's least important job is probably not something he wants his friends constantly advertising. That's just a guess though. Maybe you're doing God's work, idk.

It is only a gambling site that prides itself on being based on probability among other fine things.

btw Bruce also modded:

poker theory
other gambling
beginner

I'm sure that makes as little difference to you as it does to me.

i think he's on the spectrum for sure. obsessive-compulsive repetitive behaviors with extremely minimal social awareness...but he lies a lot, and i dont think that's a trait commonly associated with autists.
