No, I don't believe it would be fair to say that, and I'm not quite sure how you got to this conclusion. But I'm not going to get into it since this thread seems to have worked it's way back to the topic.

Wait..I read this after I posted and....I guess if you were defending your life and you HAD to use violence, then it could be justified.

"Controlled" is a harsh word for it. All we're asking of him is that he doesn't post offensive cracks, jokes and what-have-you on the board. And if he does accidentally offend anyone, he apologize for it and simply move on, rather than getting his panties all in a bunch and attacking the people he's already upset by offending.
It's not a hard concept. It's civil discussion. Maybe he's not used to that on other messageboards, but we have respect for each other and each other's feelings on this board.
... Well, I (clearly) don't have any respect for his, but that's because he's proven time and time again to me that he doesn't deserve my respect. But that's a personal issue between the two of us. He can call me names til he's blue in the face for all I care, just don't say stuff that upsets my friends (read: other CMers).

You say that you aren't ignorant, yet I've been reading your arguments and they are pretty bad. I can count several illogical fallacies in almost all of them. These illogical fallacies do nothing to help your argument they merely draw attention away from any source of logic. I would explain what an illogical fallacy is, but I'm sure such an "extremely well read" individual like yourself will have some knowledge of basic philosophy.
are you sure you want to bark up this tree? considering the term you're searching for is "logical fallacies", not ILLOGICAL fallacies, i can assure you know i know what it is you are referring to, and furthermore that i have committed none.
but you are welcome, nay, encouraged, to bring up any issue with anything i've said, ESPECIALLY if it pertains to logic.

mosaik wrote:And one footnote that I wanted to make clear: Starvingeyes is, in fact, intelligent and compelling. This is a fact. It is not my opinion, or my perspective, or my taste in people.
Intelligent and compelling are traits that a person can have. Starvingeyes has both, whether you will admit it or not. You cannot argue this. The only thing you need to decide is, do you want intelligent & compelling people on this website?

I'd say that all involved, including MOD's should just leave it alone for a bit. People are getting way to upset over something trivial. I'd like to say, in Chris's defense that in several cases moderator's have abused or misused their power from time to time on this board. Esspecially over the last year or so. But in almost all cases Rob has been fair and reasonable. I think we just need to let this cool down a bit so everyone can look at this clearly without passion obstructing their vision.
I would like to add though, that locking of Chris's Censorship thread was un-needed. It's very likely it was a sarcastic jab at misuse of mod powers, but he remained civil in the thread, and it had a legitimate argument in it.
this type of talk is likely to get you banned for association. while i appreciate the support i don't want anybody else getting banned on account of me, so next time just fire me a PM.
