Again, it isn't a personal attack to bring up valid facts and pertinent data that pertain to the issue at hand. You're the mod with all the power so you can make it a personal attack if you want, but I have a hard time thinking all the Nazis who were put on trial after the war were being "personally attacked" by the court simply because it was pointed out that they were, in fact, Nazis.Res Ipsa wrote: ↑Wed May 18, 2022 12:32 amUnless language has undergone some fundamental change in the last day or two, it literally is a personal attack. It is personal, as the target is the person. It is absolutely attacking in nature — accusing someone of being Nazi is about as attacking as it gets. It also qualifies as blatant when it is used to dismiss, rather than address, what the person says. And when used as frequently as you use it, it rises to the level of harassment.K Graham wrote: ↑Wed May 18, 2022 12:01 am
There is nothing saying a personal attack is defined by whatever the whiner says he feels attacked about. Bringing up a fact about something a person has said or done shouldn't be defined as a personal attack just because someone hit the report button. If I were a member of the KKK back in my earlier years I wouldn't have any reason to complain about people bringing it up. Especially if I spent every waking moment posting racist remarks.
The rule does not include an exception for personal attacks that Kevin Graham thinks are deserved or justified.
I'm not expecting "exceptions" for me, I'm just assuming some sense of consistency. As I said before, I posted here for many years while mods like EA brought up Ajax's racist history whenever he would post something that might make someone wonder if he was being racist. Well, yes. He was being racist. And here's the proof.
Ajax's mere presence here and his disgusting comments about minorities are more of a personal attack than me simply bringing up the fact that he posted on a Nazi forum for many years. But you don't see it that way, obviously. I think of him very much like I see this drunk passenger who was kicked out of the car by a Lyft driver for making racist remarks. In a sane world this is to be applauded.
