Moderators here favor a hateful liberal

You put up with this nonsense well.

Including from you Darlin'! A little more sensitivity would be appreciated at times, because I know you're mostly trying to have fun, you just carried away sometimes. I'm really glad you're here, just as I'm glad that TLGT is here, and hope you join us for Fantasy Football this year (wouldn't it be fun to kick Viking's butt?!) tongue:

I'm guessing that this is the first time you've ever experienced that feeling huh?

:shakingh: Be nice.

I know, but that was funny wasn't it? I was only joking anyway, I bet they love him at the bath houses downtown.

Oh no..I never, not one time, no nothing ever. I'm not interested at all.

Thats right, its just like a food preference. I hate onions, but I don't hate people that like'em. They just look and smell so unappealing to me.

We don't go by individual posts, we watch the thread overall and see if it's heading in a direction that destines it for a more appropriate forum. Moderating is not an exact science, threads morph and change as people post, and this site was born on, and continues to operate by, the principle of minimal moderation and members' personal responsibility. We are not going to start splitting out every single thing because what one person deems an insult, another doesn't care, and we are not going to start interfering to that degree b/c then we'll turn into something that y'all don't want. If you don't like what someone posts, call them out on it, skip over their post and address someone else, or put them on Ignore/Foe and Don't Take It Personally - you don't know that person, they don't know you, and their opinion of your beliefs means squat. If there's something that you believe needs to be looked at by the moderators, hit Report Post and we'll happily take a look. We moderate only when asked to look at something, or when the overall tone of a thread or the whole forum deems it; it's up to all of you to post how you'd like to be treated back. The Courthouse is for respectful, serious debate and the more even-keel it is around here, the more participation you'll get from many other members - wouldn't that be a lot more fun than going around and around with the same folks all the time? If you want to go after someone personally, we've got the space for that too - we've provided the outlets for you, use them wisely.

And it is an insult to me if you think that because moderators share a similar ideology that that gives them a pass - there are plenty of examples I can show you where nasty remarks by conservatives have been left in the Courthouse (just do a search on some of Teddy's or Nmysys's or Residenttroll's old crap if you don't believe me). The posts that have been split off recently include BOTH liberals AND conservatives (didn't you see VL's whining about his threads being moved?), but some of you seem to focus on the conservatives being split and think it's unfair and complain about the unfairness of one of the liberals being left - so I ask, who's showing partisanship??? I don't see conservatives publicly posting that TLGT's sh** needs to get moved when he gets nasty...just sayin'... :Whistle

You said a lot here but never explained why Arlen's post was moved to the ring. It would be nice to know the offense so I can be sure not to make the same mistake.

It didn't appear that it was his post alone that was moved to the ring,it was the entire conversation...and that conversation was indeed "ring worthy".

1 ringy dingy,,,

That doesn't make any sense considering the much more offensive posts that stay in the courthouse on a daily basis. Was, there something racist, sexist, obscene? I don't get it.
