Wow this thread went bad fast. Just to make a few quick points. To say that conservative posters are banned or held to a different standard is ludicrous. Conservatives and Liberals a like here are just as hateful to each other. The only difference is there are more liberals on this forum than conservatives. So the conservatives find themselves playing defense more. But its not because they are somehow more respectful in their debate, because they're not. Now having said that, I would have to agree centinel, Steeplerot makes an occasional good point but most of the time he/she is a nut case.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I beg to differ. Would you like me to PM you some examples of how wrong you are? I know specifically of 5 conservative posters vacationed (one perm-banned) for the most meaningless reasons within the past 30 days. How many liberal posters have been vacationed for ANY reason in the past 6 months??
For example, I was most recently given a vacation for, and I paraphrase:
"calling everybody I don't agree with a troll" and "causing threads to go off topic". I'll gladly PM you the specifics so as not to get yet another ban.
Translation? I dared to challenge prolific (liberal) posters statements.

I am a Mod who considers P&N a pit. I was asked to review the evidence surrounding your accusation above. Here it is: Your most recent vacation was for exposing Mod identities in FI. Since you were explicitly told that was the reason, both by pm and e-mail, your statement above is 100% misleading and untrue. The previous person who pulled such a stunt (a poster who has never posted in P&N), got six months off. You were given two weeks off, and were even told that you got off lightly. If I had been the Mod who discovered your stunt, you would have been gone from here for far, far longer. And yet, here you are, whining and misspeaking about us in public.
Here is the bottom line, mister. You, and everyone else, are to cease complaining in these forums about our moderation. You are to cease claiming we are biased. If you have a complaint, pm us with it and make sure you are polite about it. Stick to the facts of the situation and don't attack us. If it is a legitimate complaint, we will respond and take action. We have the full and complete backing of Anand Lal Shimpi for every aspect of the job we have done up until this point. That will not change. So, if you are truly that unhappy with our moderation, you are free to go elsewhere.
