Felix accuses him of advocating violence against women, and calls Millennium a name hereby euphemised as "homosexual lover."
Mill complained that it is ok to use one slur but not one of a laundry list of other slurs (and proceeds to post the entire list).
Hilarity ensues.
One member is monthabanned.
One member is clean as a whistle.



You know what they say...great minds yadda yadda yadda. :D

BTW - Why are you afraid to say what Felix said? He didn't get banned.
Bwaha!

I feel that if one slur is illegal, the others should be, so I politely decline to use any of them :D

Thanks for the play-by-play cliffs notes.

That sucks....what he said was 100% right on. One slur being tolerated while others are not is a serious double standard. Either accept them all or except none, no in between on this.

and doesn't get BANNED.... I'm joining the Unban Millennium sig-a-thon.

So he got banned for pointing out the mods double standards?


Seems so. Maybe the mods don't like gays, so bashing them is OK.

There is a bit of weirdness as far as mods are concerned. Its crap, but what can I do? I dont pay the bandwidth.
I remember my thread about silencers got locked. It was completely innocent. Just a question. And yet threads which OBVIOUSLY will turn into raging forest fires off lames are let to run and run. That was really the deciding factor to me that the mods definately apply there own agenda here. And SOMEONE is a NRA hating peace loving lets-ban-all-guns hippie.

Damn that sucks.

I'll bet you if it was any other thread, someone typing that would have definitely been banned.

Can you clarify?

I didn't read his gay bashing thread.

He just kept bringing it up unable to accept that the term 'gay' is a word commonly used it society, most of the time it doesnt even have anything to do with sexuality when its used and he was talking about how that shouldn't be allowed or why its allowed, something like that. I didn't waste my time with all of it because it just seemed like such a stupid thing to complain about. Words are words, you choose to be offended by them for the most part. There is personally only one word that somewhat gets to me that is c**t. Idk why, it just does.

My opinion is that both guys should have got 2 weeks.

The mods are not perfect but considering they're doing a FREE VOLUNTEER job I think they do a good job.

I just think in this case only banning Evan was not a good idea especially after the other poster states:

You stupid f** loving moron. You suck.

Agreed - him being banned over that seems extreme - especially for a month, but him receiving said punishment and felix nothing?

His rant against the roommate was a little uncalled for IMHO, but that's a total double standard, banning Millenium for listing racial slurs and not banning Felix for calling Millenium a i love you lover.

LOL I wish, I've had my share of threads locked ... My favorite was a FREE Adult DVD in the Hot Deals forum :) took the mods a few hours to find and delete that thread.

I'm sure that eventually this thread will be locked and/or deleted.
