Just saying who I thought would be able to be decent, impartial mods
Not "take the job or I kick you squa'"

I think kurto is fine enough by himself.

If he was around more I'd agree. If you'll recall, a lot of his posts about the spank situation were mostly "I don't really know what's going on around here, but..."

That's part of what makes him perfect, imo.

keep spank on as mod

OP, you are a adult bully. Why not change your ways?

Has anyone noticed in the Mexican cockroach thread that an assertion stating no false accusations of racism have occurred is not being supported with evidence. Look who made that assertion and look who made this thread. Then look who challenged that assertion. Connecting the dots is a fun game as is reading between the lines.

Who will be accused of being racist next? Who will make the accusation? Will it be supportable? Who will jump in to repeat the accusation? I guess we can only wait and see...

None of that has anything to do with the complaints about your modding.

Aren't unsubstantiated racism/sexism/etc claims par for the course here? If it wasn't, Fly would have been permabanned by post f***ing 12.

You're behaving in a manner consistent with not understanding the burden of proof.

Why are you doing that?

I don't have an opinion on your moderation. But I think it's hard to be a moderator of a forum like politics and perceived as fair when you're actively involved in the debates. I know some pull it off, but it can't be easy.

That's the main reason you'll never see me take a side on a heated topic in any forum, unless it's specifically related to the running of the site.

Can you explain what I am doing that is inconsistent?

I did support my assertion that a poster was wrongly accused of being a racist. The only support offered to back the claim no poster has been wrongly accused is empty personal attacks.

I listed a few posters I recall who have been contentiously called racist and asked for the person making the 'no false accusation' claim to back it up using those examples.

So what am I missing? It is not a factual claim, but a terrible opinion?

Stop giving him the attention he wants guys. He's got the whole forum talking about him and the poor, abused, chronic victim child inside of him is absolutely loving it.

Please stop.

Wtf is this OP anyway? This a petition? Seriously? Duds tilting badly and Spank like totally outclassing Duds. Wowser.

I didn't say you were 'being inconsistent', I said you weren't understanding the burden of proof. There is no 'claim that no poster has been wrongly accused', there's a rejection of your claim that one has been. This isn't difficult. Argue with the rejection if you want, but stop trying to win on a technicality that doesn't even apply.

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

And again calling "lots of people telling you you're wrong "cyber bulling" is an offensive trivialization of the idea.

That just it. The only instance of using mod powers that has been taken as unfair had nothing to do with any political issue! I have apologized and promise it won't happen again. I do not hold political grudges and as a non- partisan I have no bias of that kind to skew my judgement. I have disagreed quite strongly with adios for example, and he at one time said he thought the moderation in unchained wasn't partisan.

Mat, this is a personal beef between a few posters and themselves. I want nothing more to do with it than for it to please stop. I have no grudge to bear and would rather get back to having the fun a few of us manage to dredge up around here.

If it takes avoiding political discussion with posters who choose to see me as unfair and unfit, so be it. I do not think that is fair, but can settle for it. This thread has given me a list to go by.

Though I still reserve some right to argue with pvn on occasion, if he is cool with it.

No, Dids clearly stated that there was never any false accusations.

Which totally discredits his position by itself. Nobody is ever 100% right.

Nice lie there.

But you constantly drag up LK, Dids, and my name up, or any other person who has said anything about you.

Does this type of proof have a name. Proof by "Nobody is ever 100% right". I like it!

.

In every possible interpretation of the phrase, Spank wishes he got the "bullying" I got (a lot deserved, a lot not) when I was a mod. If you actually caught that kind of heat- you'd still be wrong - but you'd have a better case.

And say what you want about my modding, I made clear attempts to communicate about what I did, and was willing to admit when I was wrong. I didn't try and martyr myself or and tried (not always successfully) not to take it personally - because that's what comes with the gif.

I've been a blowhard on the Internet for two decades. I know from cyber bullying. I've done it, I've received it. This is not it.

You play poker. You understand position, right?

Okay, I understand. I did support my claim, so it is the rejection which is not supported. Is that correct?

I wasn't trying to win, rather establishing accuracy in a matter I consider one of fairness.

Thanks.
