No more conservative political posts

11-06-2004, 15:22
I have been warned not to post conservative topics anymore. So I won't. Just thought I would give others a heads up as to what is happening here.

Diversity is OK...as long as you are left.

The silent majority has spoken.

So...we're not allowed to debate anymore?

Ok...normally I figure NS' mods are a pretty decent bunch...
But if your going to ban one side, get rid of the other as well. How long did it take you fellows to ban TRA? Quite a long time.

EDIT:
If it wasnt the mods who warned you, disregard both this post and the warning.

Huh? I think you may be using terms in a way that I'm not familiar with as a US poster. When you say conservative, what do you mean and who warned you? Was it the subject matter or the frequency with which you posted that they objected to?

Why bother? Nothing would get done about it anyway. It's sad really, but hey that's how the cookie crumbles I suppose.

My understanding is that you were warned against flaming.

The thread can be viewed in Moderation, raised by Filamai (sp?).

You were not warned against raising topics.

You did, in fact, request that I and another poster not be permitted to post in "your" threads.

Is this the sort of freedom of expression you want?

The thread can be viewed in Moderation by anyone interested.

Smeagol...I received a Telegram just a little while ago...it was clear in the message. Very clear. Nothing I can do about it though.

Looks like you got your wish.

Freedom of expressing views restricted everywhere as opposed to one a particular person's threads...there is a big difference.

Oh well, congrats Smeagol. You win.

The thread I referred to in moderation is here :

Anyone caring to read it will see at a glance who is attempting to silence "dissent" in "their" threads.

I have always been taught that the best response to someone who tells lies about you, is to tell the truth about them.

Lord Pheonix Benicius, I don't exactly like you but I respect your right to start a thread on what you deem is appropriate. However, if Smeagol-Golum is right, you sir, have no right to attempt to "silence" those who present alternative opinions and views.

EDIT: Just viewed the link that Smeagol-Golum had listed, and I feel they were in there right to post in it.

After reading the Moderation thread, I have to side with Smeagol-Gollum.

Lord Pheonix Benicius, I have taken the liberty of checking. There is no such telegram in your inbox, and our records show that no Moderator has telegrammed you.

It is my conclusion therefore, that you are making a weak attempt to root for sympathy by implying that some sort of attempt has been made to silence you. Shameful, man, shameful.

If anything, the moderators hear give us the liberty to speak freely, and thus, when we abuse that privlege, they may rebuke specific comments and such for flaming and whatnot.

That's the case here... as anyone can see from the Moderation thread posted previously.

<--- not a mod.

I doubt that. I deleted the telegram along with others I received. Why bother keeping it? How can anyone trust moderation? I believe TG that you are a dishonest MOD and someday it will be very much proven.

I will enjoy watching you be banished from NS. You treat people who disagree with you with contempt and then you accuse them of lying when the truth comes out.

If there was justice you would be DEATED. One day that will happen.

Actually, I now think you have a higher chance of being deated

Goodbye :)
