I got banned from MAD :(

Post by _keithb »

After getting into an altercation with board favorite Pahoran, my account at MAD was recently banned and many of my comments deleted :(

On a brighter note, I have recently adopted the handle of Pahoran's_Gay_Lover as my new name. We'll see how long that handle lasts before it is also deleted.

by the way, Pahoran is one of the new mods and is thus untouchable.

Yeah, seriously. You don't go into someone's house and not abide by their rules.

Seriously? That's like putting the sadistic kid in charge of the ant farm and handing him a magnifying glass. What the hell are they thinking?

It makes perfect sense Runtu. I'm disturbed to see you miss the obvious connection between "Dialogue" and "Pahoran". Two words that could not be more conducive to one another.

It makes perfect sense if they are determined to stifle real discussion, not just debate. It's basically giving the green light to vitriol and vituperation from the apologist side and quick exits to critics who dare to object.

Only those folks could think that even more heavyhanded "moderation" in favor of apologists will facilitate discussion. I admit it: that board is more of a joke than I thought possible. Sad, really, when you think of some of the interesting discussion that used to happen there.
