I too am appalled at the rank bigotry and homophobic nature of the post in question. This is the 21st century not the dark ages of the 1950's we are talking about!

Then he should be acting like an ass/mod in the OT

He is. Hence this thread.

KH berated me on a statistical issue once (fair enough) and I got the better of him in a Somalia issue thread (he won't admit it). Aside from that we have had little interaction that I recall.

[The Mad Monk]

Wait! You're not one of those guys who takes it up the ass for KH?

[Wezil]

No, sorry.

I rarely discuss things with KH. He is big on math/economics and sometimes science which are all areas I have little to no knowledge of. My contributions to his topics would seem juvenile at best.

That said, as with KH, I don't react well when faced with stupidity. I sometimes react badly and say things that would garner a ban elsewhere. Do I need to watch over my shoulder for overly sensitive mods now?

Mr. Fun -

Do you think I am a KH fanboy?

Personally, I would prefer more strict moderation than we currently have but accept that the consensus (and formerly agreed upon model) was for little to no moderation. Whatever is decided it is important to be consistent.

I would have posted the same regardless. I don't like arbitrary (ab)use of mod/admin powers. The exceptions have been joke forums that have all died and I no longer remember the names of.

[MrFun]

I think it does matter for you guys WHO it happened to. If someone much less popular on Apolyton had suffered this same kind of abuse, there would not be a whole thread about it.

On other hand, maybe there still would be, if all you guys really are drama queens.

[Wezil]

There are definitely a lot of drama queens on here. The way a lot of them are carrying on about this.

I think most are concerned with what happened, not who it happened to.

A virtually moderation-free forum just saw a member banned for something that wasn't apparently an offence two days ago. Who's next?

In addition, this same mod changed a poster's thread title to something completely at odds with the topic under discussion with the clear intention of ridiculing the poster in question. Is this acceptable mod behaviour?

Private sites can do whatever they want within the limits of the law, but if they want people to keep posting at them then they should consider not having retarded staff members with thin skins.

[MrFun]

Whatever. This is a private site. If you don't like it, leave.

Really, Zoet was a bit much by banning him but who the hell cares? What's wrong with all of you *****ing and moaning about it?
