why can moderators say what they like, but everyone else can't?

Should moderators follow the same rules has everyone else has to?

Alright, mister "I humiliated myself falling for an April 1 prank about flying penguins in the biology forum then locked the thread to prevent further discussion of my hilarious gullibility".

Haw! No, it can't be.

1. Don't look through a soda straw.
2. Don't forget to examine your own behavior for 'willful provocateurism'.
3. Look harder. Knee-jerk reactionism is just hysteria and we get plenty of that already from the bored housewives.

Invert, either the rules apply in full or they don't. It can't be "All right! Gendanken's using racist arguments to challenge the orthodoxy! You go, girl!" and then "OMG. Baron Max is using racist arguments to challenge the orthodoxy. You don't go, girl."

How about just no bigoted arguments, since arguments based on prejudice contribute as much to discussion as monkeys slinging poo. As I've said: sure, not every monkey bothers to take the time to learn to throw poo effectively - some of them are just happy leaving it lying in a thread and lurching away - but why are we supposed to cheer on the ones that do? Are they helping? And what are they helping?

Best,

Geoff

Well said.
Maybe it was naive to expect at least some sort of answer..
 
He is right, you know. I guess the distinction is easier to make in physics.

I assume you mean Geoff is right ?
I agreed with him, but I am disappointed there was no answer to his post other then "The Jew is always on my back".
 
However, to track the point: Malakas proposed that, "When little girls, or trolls, are allowed to post inanities but any rational position that does not adhere to modern western social dogma is banished then, that sir, is mediocrity." I invited a demonstration of that process. 2inquisitive asserted that the process was demonstrated in Gendanken's dismissal.
I was also banned three times because I posted 'offensive' material.

Nothing negative or hurtful about the human species is tolerated because, obviously, the universe is so positively inclined towards us.
It has become 'self-evident', in this intellectually diminishing western world, that anything that hurts us or confronts our comfortable 'truths' must be a product of evil or hatred.
This is how censorship ensues.

Yet, little girls spewing inanities about their favorite color or how their daddy only gives them $1000 a month for an allowance, and religiuos fanatics preaching stupidities based on nothing more than hearsay and childish reasoning are acceptable material because they do not insult a moderator's western delusions or threaten his bottom line or his ego.

In your desperate attempt to exclude certain viewpoints you've acquired a new religion. You cal it science.

You forget, perhaps, that science is a child of philosophy and free speculation based on reason and observation and that science, today, is dependent on big money and so accountable for their theories to entities with deep pockets and shallow minds.
Political-correctness is so insidious that it has now infected minds to the point where certain questions are considered embarrassing, and the scientist or thinker who dares posit them faces institutional ridicule and dire personal costs.
The methods of censorship abound and are easily perceived by all except the stupid and pseudo-intelelctual, like most of you moderators are.

Yuor quality is reflected in this forum's quality.

It sucks, also, because even as eleven different kinds of freak, Gendanken elicits all this complaining at her fall. It isn't "moderation to mediocrity" to point out that, hey, vicious bigotry is kind of hurtful. Posters are handed out bans for that. What was her great intellectual contribution? Commentary about someone's sexual organs? Written abuse of a kid? Whew. Call the Pulitzer people. I feel right faint.
 
Agreed! By my right Lucifer and Shorty should have been banned, not Gendanken removed from modship.
This PC braindeadness is seriously pissing me off! :mad:

So all get together and have us banned then. At the same time you should also ban the others who open ridiculous threads about Cat Butts, Waterbeds,
and other BS. What about the members who can't spell, ban them too. (although one of them belongs to your mod team) It is funny that you only mentioned the 2 of us.

Nature is the ultimate bigot GeoffP, indifferent and uncaring.

Should we be any different?

(Indeed, we can't be any different)

Hm. I don't think you know what 'bigot' means. Being a bigot is very much the opposite of being indifferent and uncaring.
 
You mean it's showing concern and caring?

Exactly, for yourself or your group.

big·ot
n. One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.


You can hardly call that indifferent or uncaring..

You saved yourself from that one didn't you?
