[serious] Off Topic Moderation Input - Part 2

[Hauldren Collider]

Indeed, and I doubt if Ben had been Pentecostal that Asher would have viciously attacked the Roman Catholic Church, something that always bothered me.

[Elok]

Because I know everyone was just waiting to hear my opinion...

BK's threat to Loin didn't strike me as remotely credible. However, it was definitely repeated several times, and BK was already on thin ice for harassment of gays IIUC. The stupid sexual shock-thread copycat might technically merit a warning, but it's better IMO to do what all of us were doing, namely ignoring it and letting it sink like a big, tasteless rock. Making a fuss about it will only reward and give new life to a lame troll that was otherwise dying an ignominious death. It certainly doesn't merit a six-month ban all by itself.

I admit I'm biased here, since I believe BK's behavior was the #1 reason for hostility to Christians on this site (such as the vulgar thread in question).

Anyway, what are you going to do, ban me?

So you believe that disagreements should always be settle by coercion? No wonder you approve of Ben's threats

The woman who had a nipple-slip on the flight was sentenced to life in prison. That's the way the world ought to be

As I said, you're dragging another case into this. I have said what I wanted to say on this already. Leave the Ben case out of this. Anyway, what are you going to do, ban me?

[loinburger]

Someone threatened to blow up an airplane, but the judge dismissed the case. They decided the TSA was being petty. No wait, that doesn't happen because it would be ridiculous.

As for the glue thing, I'm just stating a fact. You act petty. There is no use dragging Ben's case into this.

I'm "petty" for disliking it when somebody physically threatens me multiple times over the course of a month? You wouldn't happen to be making this judgment just because you approve of Ben threatening people, would you? Would you have been as vehement in defending somebody else who had threatened another poster?

You keep saying that Ben is being singled out, but the fact is that you're the only one applying a biased judgment here. Random poster threatens another random poster? Meh. Ben threatens another random poster? Hands off Ben he didn't do anything wrong, now go ban some people for talking about sex because apparently that's worse than threats of violence!!!

[ZEE]

Hold on let me get comfortable... there we go

/POPCORN

[Nikolai]

There have been dozens of sexually explicit threads in the past few months that you haven't commented upon - the only reason you're doing so now is because of Ben's ban. In other words, you're being petty.

No. I don't frequent here much nowadays, so I miss a lot of them I suppose. But this one was far beyond what I would like to get unnoticed.

[loinburger]

Actually, I'd say it's you who is petty here.

Oh no, the "I'm a mirror an you're glue" defense. I am slain.

[Nikolai]

Okay, so you're being petty. Mystery solved.

Actually, I'd say it's you who is petty here.

[Nikolai]

I was not discussing that case now. I have stated my view on that already. Now, let's go back to the case at hand, please.

[loinburger]

Btw, please don't make a strawman argument out of this. It's just so silly.

Do you approve of Ben threatening other posters? If not, then why are you white-knighting for him?
