Yet Another GOP Strategist arrested for sex trafficking minors

[ceeboo]

What difference does any of that make? You want to find out which political party has more offenders? Then what? WTF!

How about this crazy freaking idea - We all call every offender a POS and we don't care what political party they belong to. How does that sound to you?

I want capital punishment for sex offenders who assault children. We can continue with trials and juries and an agreed process, I would just like to have them offed within an agreed process.

So you don't want to know what political party a child molester belongs to? You don't think that's relevant?

Amazing!

Freaking amazing!

[Some Schmo]

Perhaps more importantly - are there more or less instances of Republicans criticising relevantly convicted Republicans that there are of Democrats criticising relevantly convicted Democrats?

I think you'll get a pretty good idea of how each party acts by comparing what the GOP did to Trump after several accusations to what the Democrats did to Al Franken after one accusation.

This is such a great freaking post that I thought I would let y'all read it again! (I removed some individual names so there is no distraction - allowing folks to give all of their attention to a fantastic post)

So despite the fact that the uncensored original of this post denounced me as "foaming ranting ideological lunatic insane and illogical", a very forceful allegation for which you can evidently find no justification, it's still fantastic.

Please Ceeboo. Drop the "I'm just this really innocent and impartial bystander who wants everybody to play nicely" act. It's looking just a leetle bit hypocritical.

And lest anyone be confused why the parties matter, we don't get a whole lot of moralizing about family values from Democrats. The GOP base would have you believe they actually care about that stuff, so the hypocrisy is thick.

I did not disinvite you. And your accusation here and in the previous post is unfounded. This is typical for you to make misleading statements.

Would you like to address the points I brought up, or, are you content to just make accusations and post judgments of a forum member?

I am not a moderator. You are are. We are not subject to the same standards.

You should probably address the points that you brought up, if you want to talk about them. Thus far, all you have done is make accusations and post judgments of a forum member. That, and make up a story about that person manipulating their posting history. : D

I do want to address the points. You are a moderator and you antagonize posters who can't put you on ignore. You are a moderator, you have a history as a non-moderator and moderator of antagonizing one or more posters, including prejudicial judgment about them as people and their intent. You may be right. You may be wrong. But, the activity (and not the rightness or wrongness) is a conflict for your role as a moderator. Let us put you on ignore, simple solution. Or you can quit moderating, unlikely that you will choose that, but it is also a simple solution. Or, you could just stop being a self-righteous needling PITA. That too is unlikely.

You can address points, and you should. Your judgments, prejudice, and focus on individual posters is in the gray area of what a moderator could and should do. Are you cloning Shades? No, you are not. You are being a dick instead.

Just so you know, canpakes, because you really are not paying attention, this was the gambit. Pay better attention.

Bump!

Yeah, I didn't read it the second time, either. You'd have to be a lunatic to take that guy seriously. I'm ignoring him for a reason.

Your loss, no doubt about it.

You should consider judging a board contribution by two things: 1. What is written in the contribution and 2. After you have actually read said contribution. Your particular method of judgement (judging it without even reading it and judging it by who wrote it) is very telling (some might even suggest that this would be lunacy)

Feel free to post examples.

I’ll await your examples.

And don’t forget to report yourself for calling someone a dick, lol.

There’s no gambit. You just got caught with your pants down and posting a lie, and now you’re trying to work your way out of that.

This is the example, pancakes. This is it.

This is exactly what I am referring to. What is the point of telling me to report myself?

I have not lied, and your suggestion that I have, is again, a reason that you need to reconsider your role as a moderator. Thicken your skin if you have to, or get the hell out. This post of yours is a perfect example of how you have unprofessionally comingled your place as a participant and a moderator. Again, do what you gotta do and do what you wanna do. You antagonizing (as a moderator) just looks terrible and it is interfering with the dialogue and entertainment.
