Not to mention demonstrably wrong.

I know I'm doing something right when I offend authoritarians.

Unless you're also going to say it's not okay anymore for atheists to say God's a lie, for example, I can't accept this. Any position taken in the realm of politics involves an understanding that its backer believes it to be true. That's obviously how it has to be, meaning claims to the contrary are understood as false. So to say something is a lie is not really a shocking event, but in fact whenever someone claims something is true it's implied that its opposite is not. Now I believe in traditional marriage, which is a mainstream view affirmed in 32 states, perhaps not backed among the censor-happy politics board but with the way you guys mod I can understand why. My point was that the homosexual movement perpetuates a myth that those conservative Christians are so darned evil and hate gays, something that's not true at all, in an attempt to demonize the other side and gain sympathy for their cause. My post included a lesbian couple that was found to have constructed a false narrative to do just that. It is not "hate speech" to point out and oppose a group that directly, intentionally tried to frame other people based on a stereotype the couple tried to assign to them in order to slander them (or worse, imprison them) by bringing up false charges. What else can I call that but a lie?

Even if the post wasn't intended as a hateful remark, it really comes off that way.

When will you ever learn? You never say anything bad about minorities, even if what you say is true. Only the minorities can say bad things about themselves. And about the majority which may or may not be oppressing them.

A warn is like the sweet spot when it comes to mods. The point of the game is to keep pushing, maybe get roughed up a bit in the process, but just enough to keep coming back.

For lack of a better place wikifaqs.net/index.php?title=RaptorLC_Interview_201243. Would you consider yourself liberal or conservative? [from yours truly - not moderated this time]
I'm a moderate, which would probably put me somewhere in the communist spectrum as far as American politics go given that both major American political parties are right wing. In reality, I'm moderate fiscally and tend heavily towards libertarian socially. I do moderate left and right wing trolls equally though. I don't find this answer very convincing: Example: I made a totally off the cuff comment about stalking people who annoy me knowing that some of the more idiotic trolls on the board would actually take me seriously."It's a choice" wouldn't be moderated without having gained some knowledge of what "it" is (and even then that was a pretty stupid action). That moment where he showed up out of the blue on 261 to call someone a troll was a bit strange too. |

I got warned for 48 hours for saying blacks shouldn't worship Obama like they do, then a few hours after I came off that one I got 48 hours again for saying it's a shame the great handbag didn't get killed. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brighton_hotel_bombingc'est la vie |

www.gamefaqs.com/boards/261-politics/63027345Hell, be grateful you still have the option to mark trolling - you still have it largely because I got myself demodded for blowing the whistle on Bacon's plan to remove trolling and flaming from the ToU entirely. His justification was that "that's what the ignore feature is for".
The ensuing s***storm from my posts in that topic resulted in Bacon not going through with it. Read this post quickly, because odds are it will be modded. I'm still not allowed to tell the truth about that incident.Psh. Trolling's not really the thing anyway, it's offensive you have to watch out for. But it's an insight into the common gfaqs mod personality (another example being wally's threat to resign if a certain user wasn't banned).
