Hey, don't put down 1930's vintage porn!

Who's putting it down? I'm sure there's a lot of misogynistic men in the world who revel in the thought that once upon a time, women couldn't vote and were glorified sexual slaves and indentured servants for men.

[Winston]

Yeah, but consider the legs they were showing..

Apparently Euros can have a sense of humour. I approve.

[Winston]

Now, just behave yourself. Some of us here don't want to lose you again.

Well I don't, and I think there's at least one other guy on the fence.

I can say that my sense of humour was put to good use with a certain recent Counterglow thread .

I really don't understand why you're trying to fight the administration on Poly, though.

If I've understood you correctly, in your opinion the site administration is enforcing its own rules inconsistently, such that it's biased against you. You're trying to get them to see things your way, but they're only responding to you inappropriately or ignoring you.

Now the method you're using to reach this goal is, it seems, to repeatedly point out and bring out to the public the behaviour of the administration. So far, it has resulted in you getting labelled a repeat offender, and in the otherwise completely inexplicable promotion of Urban Ranger to modhood. There's no sign it will get any better in the future.

There's another way out. No, I don't mean leaving the community for good. You've got to show the administration that you can be more courteous and choose your words more carefully than the rules actually call for, and you've got to keep doing it for... oh, I don't know, two or three years? It'll take a while to regain their trust, but at least you can keep enjoying the community (though not the kind of freedom of expression that most other people are granted).

Save the vitriol for the meaningful fights. The government, your workplace, something that you can help change for the better by pointing out the deficiencies in it. With your current status Apolyton is a lost cause to you.


(sorry about posting this after it seemed that everyone had calmed down. It just takes me a while to write things like this, but I thought it had to say it...)

What about EVC (Thorn) did he just lose his sign-in or was he banned?

He was banned. The fight still goes on, just really, really, really quietly

What did you do to JohnT to piss him off in this way?

I will say this once, and once only, for the record: I did nothing to alienate JohnT. There is another reason (or reasons) why he has not posted here in some time.
