From Infohawk:

He's a liberal too! Never mind his positions are more akin to a right-wing religious fundamentalist... You're not supposed to notice that.
This is not the first time, or the second time, or the third time Infohawk has spewed this against me. I would ask that you please get him under control and have him stop with the accusations, which are little more than unfounded personal attacks.

You answered your own post?
You don't feel that it lessens your creditability?

Sorry. I'm not familiar with the process. Since the link was in my own post I assumed it was for me to click on.

That is Politics and News. He is not "Technically" doing anything against the rules therefore the mods wont do anything. When you post in P&N you have to be prepared for that and much worse.

The most i would vote for is a PM from a mod telling him to lay off of TastesLikeChicken.

If he's not technically doing anything wrong then we shouldn't have to take it to PM to discuss it. However, if I took it further I'd be accused of thread-crapping as I was last time when it was Infohawk that initiated the accusations in the first place.

All I'm really asking is to him have him lay off with the false accusations anyway. He's not only wrong, it's beyond the point of being stale with him constantly parroting the same BS.

Its about the 4800th time. He's a troll, and best I can tell no one is likely to do anything about it. Today is jumped into a thread and started calling some marines here in LA pathetic, basically he posts to get a rise out of people.

Flamebaiting and trolling a public figure or issue doesn't bother me one bit and I see little wrong with it in P&amp;N. I do it myself occasionally. ;) Public figures are fair for skewering. However, when it gets personal is where the line should be drawn, in P&amp;N or anywhere else on AT.

He's kind of annoying sometimes and sometimes OK, but I dion't think he should be banned or anything. I mean come on - there are people there that talk about how they want to kill all homosexuals, atheists, kill their children and kill converts to other religions...do you honestly think Infohawk deserves a banning more than these people?

Honestly, Chicken, I'm shocked that you started a thread like this. You're a regular P&amp;N poster, and I'm sure you've been flamed much much worse than this in the past.

Your positions on the P&amp;N forum *have* been to the right. How he can call you a liberal is a little beyond me though. Seriously though, if someone accused me of being a neocon I would just laugh and not make a big deal out of it.

Basically you need to get over this and leave the mods out of it. Give infohawk a cookie if you wish and then call it a day. :beer:
