Is this the example you are trying to set?

yeah, but at least he's an articulate white man.

i love rush b/c he's not politically correct. again, why can a threat like this remain unlocked, but my news post about reagan getting a statue is immediately locked without notice? liberal bias among the moderators.

No Moron, your thread was locked because you didn't add any of your own commentary to it.

Now, this is in the P&N forum, so I expect people to occasionally let their emotions get the best of them, but a moderator? Especially in a forum that stipulates "PERSONAL FLAMES WILL NOT BE TOLERATED."

P&N moderators have been accused of having a left/liberal bias before and this isn't helping. Please remember when posting under the Anandtech Moderator "moniker" (as comuwiz1 pointed out) that you are a Moderator.

Thanks.

I think we definitely need more MONKIER Moderators. :laugh:

Or, was it moniker, you meant to say? We once had a liberal president, who had a fling, but I think her name was Monica, not Moniker. ;)

And it's not that the thread deteriorating would be a great loss, afterall, it was about Rush Limbaugh.

Yes, you are correct. A bit of a typo there. No, it's not a great loss, but moderators are supposed to enforce the rules not break them.

Stuff like that just makes me wonder who they are chosing to moderate this forum and why that chosen person would get all ticked off and personally attack a forum member.

Hmmmm ... it seems to me that similar attack from the OP could easily result in a slap with the almighty ban-stick.. the exact comment without the personal insult (deserved or not) would have been a lot more professional.
