I don't think it's easy to make comparisons because everyone has a bunch of history

This made me laugh out loud. You forgot the awesome fish pics, though.

In the interest of setting a shining example with honesty and transparency about posting history I'll say that this was me and the post was, quote, "stfu rapist."

See how easy it is to not lie about posting history?

This thread got way tl;dr quick. Time for Regret$ to laydown the banhammer and/or delete the OP. Someones mad, and I don't have time to figure it out!!! Why doesn't Mason want to participate in this boring mudslinging contest, we'll never know. Maybe someone should start making spaghetti quotes so that others can create more walls of text and spaghetti quotes to combat the other spaghetti quotes. Meta-arguing ITT.

It's like my daddy always done told me, son, he said, son, if you want to get treated like a bowtie republican then hognabit don't trade in your bowtie for a swastika armband.

Whiners that whine about "far left", "hard left", etc domination are simply incapable of perceiving reality. Which means they'll never be happy, because this "bias" they whine about doesn't exist. So... no reason to try to appease the unappeasable.

The problem is one of definitions. Juan is so far to the right that he probably thinks bobman is a dangerous lefty.

I'm asking for clarification because it seems very improper that someone would be banned on a forum for refusing to engage further.

I mean, the game playing even continues now:

- Fair enough

- I'm actually not playing games there. I wanted him to tell me what his viewpoint was so I can see if he's even on the right page. As a former boss of mine once said... "Tell me what I told you so that I know you understand me."

You weren't banned for not participating. You were banned because you didn't answer a question.

Wookie, I don't think you are a bad person, but this isn't even close to true. You NEVER ban liberals for the exact same trolling bull**** unless they are so consistently over the line with intentional trolling that it becomes impossible to ignore your oversights in modding. I'm not saying my views greatly vary from said liberals but in short you do not apply the rules consistently to people you agree with. That's the main reason (behind someone being butthurt) that we have to relive this same exact ATF thread every 3.5 weeks. Just one persons opinion. Hope this helps.

In short, you don't really ban people you ideologically agree with, whatever their tactics may be.

So not answering questions is a bannable offense?

Yes, when the question is essentially, "make your point" or "give some data for your ridiculous claim."

You aren't going to get a set-in-stone enumerated list of bannable offenses just so that you can post like **** while not exactly doing something on the list.

That sets a really bad precedence. If you don't respond within X time frame to my liking ... I will ban you. That's a great way to incentivize someone who is likely never going to see eye-to-eye with you from every posting in your moderated forum again. Somewhat ironic given the thread was about free speech.
