Really? I've been muted, when I was the one dealing with ad hominem attacks, and did not respond in kind. Sorry, not buying the "non biased moderation" story. Not when I've been muted for absolutely no reason, while others actually behaving poorly are never muted.
At this point, there are some here I simply refuse to even bother to converse with. They're simply not worth the time and hassle. If there are no politics in the conversation, they'll inject some, to "give cause for moderation", then spew bile, and play the victim. They've nothing to offer in civil discourse, they fail to provide facts or logic, and ignore any that are. All they offer are accusations of racism or fascism, which is pretty much a matter of projection in every case. And they trot out tired, dis-proven soundbites and claims, get a thread closed, and pat themselves on the back for "winning".
What the Hell. Mute me. I can take it. Ban me, I can take that, too. It says way more about those doing the muting, and the crying, than about those being muted. I've been a moderator on a dozen boards, I know poor moderation when I see it.
Ive been muted twice on these boards, one deserved, the second, I dont think so but took it as I did make a comment in a thread that was closed for what I assume was a political rules violation. I didnt question it as I did post in that thread even tho my post was non-political.
It seems to me that the same 5 guys who continuously post breaking/twisting/pushing the rules are the first to come up with all these theory's on how they are picked out. Maybe its because they continuously break/twist/push the rules that they are getting muted? Seems like a good reason to me.
Stop with the paranoid BS, and the speculation, and just own the punishment you deserved.
