I think this is quite enough.

Either stay on topic or take it to the shed.

Thank you.

I agree. Let’s get back to talking about Omarosa.  :lol:

No, in actuality I give myself far too little credit. Coming here night after night to defend the President and single-handedly best you and the other 10 or so Rachel Maddow groupies every night is no small feat. Simply teaching you guys how to do a google search, so you can read up and educate yourselves has been a full-time job lately. 

Hahahaha.

Delusion much?

Again, I want as little moderator intervention as possible.

Just pointing out that saying Ric Flair needs psychiatric help is more of an ad hom than calling Knappl a snowflake. 

I'm okay with letting them both ride. We're big boys and girls here. But let's not pretend there's an equal application of board standards.

There is an equal application of board standards in this case. I don’t know how much attention you were paying to how much Ric was harrassing people at the time. The snowflake thing was a last straw, not an isolated incident. And I kinda doubt a mod has seen Victor’s post yet.

I’m pretty sure you made that up, but if it were true and that’s why they were a hold out, they failed in their duty as a juror.

No, I actually listened to another juror who was interviewed and described what happened. It’s strange how if you actually follow the news, pay attention, and do a little homework, there’s no need to “make things up,” as you’re simply informed. 

I recommend trying it sometime.

So you agree the juror failed in their duty as a juror.

The last line is another personal attack.

Thanks Guy. There is a complete double standard in how the rules are applied. Management can have whatever rules they want for the board...it’s their board. But they should be applied equally, regardless of whether someone knows one of the owners or mods, and regardless of someone’s political views. 

Selectively enforcing the rules and banning/suspending those you disagree with is a great way to kill a discussion board.

Thanks Guy. There is a complete double standard in how the rules are applied.

The only double standard is that you haven't been banned yet. If you weren't one of the few Trump supporters who posts here I believe you would have been banned permanently a long time ago. Not because I think the mods are biased but because I think they, at least subconsciously, may think it would look biased.

Uh...so is accusing me of making things up. You called me a liar. I said you were poorly informed. Which is more offensive?

Holy crap do some people here need thicker skin.

Please feel free to now report me for “skin shaming” you by mocking you for having thin skin.

jfyi, I reported those personal attack posts against you, and the mods dealt with them.

I didn't call you a liar (on this forum). I said you lied. That isn't a personal attack. You add a snarky little comment or a personal attack or a complaint about the mods to pretty much every post you make

By banning the posters for a month or more? I honestly hope not. I would hope we could have robust discussions here without people looking for childish reasons to take offense and report each other. 

Thanks for reporting it Landlord. But I’d rather have as little moderation here as possible.

Of course you would. You treat people the worst of anyone else who posts in this forum.
