As much as I personally disagree with some of the decisions made by the mods (and some policies), the fact is, you must recognize that the mods are HUMAN, and that they are fallible. Some just plain don't like certain users, and have to do their best to moderate those emotions.
I think the fact that the mods are 'anonymous' leads to people expecting them all to act the same, and that's simply not true.
Incorrect.
It seems that people expect them to act in the way they personally want, because it is felt that there is no accountability.
Within P&N, for a liberal style person, they expect that the Mod will be liberal and support their side.
The same goes for a conservative.
When a Mod from the opposite side of the spectrum (weighs in) then that blows their ideal fantasies to kingdom come.
Remove the Liberal/Conservative label and insert what ever polarization issue exists in any forum her and the same result occurs.
I don't expect favors. I expect fair treatment. If a "conservative" mod gives someone who's "liberal" a week for trolling or insults or whatever, they should do the same when spotting a similar post from a "conservative" poster.
Why is that too much to ask?
As for mosh, well, you just happen to have a mod that apparently has a crush on you and took my sarcastic reply as some sort of personal attack against you and I was punished for it. What you'll find if you care to look at my posts is that I'll respond in kind. I've had plenty of good debates with people on the opposite side that truly want to engage in debate. When the one-liners come in with the trolls and snipes, it's hard to keep ignoring them.
Why is asking for a mod to treat all the same too much to ask for? I treat all alike at my own board. I've had to reign in some posters who I even know personally. It's the right thing to do.
it *WAS* a personal attack, and when the mod PMed you and told you to knock it off you called him/her out on the board and said you wouldn't stop. your disrespect and general pissy attitude got you that timeout. so don't try to cry a river and paint it something that it wasn't.
No, it wasn't. It was a sarcastic reply directed at no one in particular based on your post from a worthless rag that is owned and operated by the very people that lied us into war. It's like posting a link to a KKK site and saying, hey, racism ain't bad.
here's the thing conjur: your bannings have NOTHING to do with your political affliation or opinions of current political affairs it has to do with your general disrespect and ridiculing of anyone who comes out with an opposing pov.
you want to be treated fairly? try treating your fellow posters fairly, and respecting the mods and see where that gets you. it works fine for the rest of the posters here.
No, my vacations have come from a particular mod (or mods) who don't like my point of view and have stooped to banal insults (as shown in the OP in this thread). They protect their kind. The same may go the other way, too, but I'm not aware of what happened to the likes of shinerburke, CsG, etc. Shinerburke even posted a rant at yagt.org that I gladly let him do. I have nothing against him. Why would I?
When the one-liners come in with the trolls and snipes, it's hard to keep ignoring them.
I agree, but I find that when I do venture into P&N, which is rarely, you are quick to snipe me. disagree?
