Appeal to the Mods

Whittier-
27-07-2004, 06:05
To the Honorable Mods:



I know the chances of getting my nation back are practically nil.
But I am doing this as a matter of principal.
Due to what I saw in thread I looked up.


Due to a thread I saw, I have begun collecting evidence.
Here it is for you puruse.

The only thread where I was warned:
Note that it was not a formal warning:

Note the flaming just cause I had a bout of patriotism.
This particular thread shows that I was considered a troll just
because I said athiests forced their views on people just as much
other religions do.
Stephistan gives me warning but does not warn any of the others, whome
she is in agreement with.

Americans and Athiesm
According to th US Bureau of the Census:


Less than 1% of Americans are athiest. Interesting as athiest always
force their views on others at gun point.

Americans view the rest of the world as being just plain lazy.

Theists believe in freedom of religion, atheists do not. Atheists want
to ban all religion. And atheists want to censor all speech they don't
agree with.

Whittier is that why you want God to Bless only America and the rest
of the world to go to hell? Because you are so religious and
compassionate?

nice... well Im not religious, but I am not an atheist either.

so from my non-biased viewpoint I have seen no forcing of beliefs by
atheists and VERY MUCH forcing of beliefs by mainly Christians.

Also I have seen MANY MANY christians say that America is a Christian
nation and the laws shoudl be based on Christian values.

I'm not saying all of them are liek this but much more than any atheist.

If our laws weren't based on the christian bible, we would not be rich
as we are economically, nor as powerful militarily.
The rest of the world has atheist governments and they are all poor
and pathetically weak.

Eitehr that or you chose to ignore it and you are just trollign which
is what it really looks like due to your apparent complete lack of
common sense.

Trolling:

Making a statement that other people don't agree with, and that must
be censored cause others don't agree with it.

Okay, Whittier, you're are coming very close to trolling.. I have
already locked one of your threads for flamebait.. Keep it up and you
will get a formal warning on your nation.

Thank You

Also the US Supreme Court even said that athiests force their views on
everyone else. That is why it overturned the 9th circuit decision
regarding the pledge of allegiance.

you are seriosuly retarded.

I am athiest, and I am having religion crammed down my throat 24/7. I
think it's great that people believe in something, unlike me. I don't
care if anyone is ahtiest or not, just as long as they don't cram it
down my throat, which they do most of the time.

So the Whittier Pact goes on without Whittier? How would that work?

I don't remember seeing Whittier claim it was someone else flaming...
I haven't ever seen Whittier flame- but I haven't been here very long...

EDIT- Oh, West Moon is Whittier. Now I get it... *facepalm*

That was the one complained about in mod I believe.. and it was

thread locked. So, I'm not buying the IC argument either.

I'm done explaining.

Have a nice day!


(note that stephistan said several times. But cited only one example.
That was because there was only one incident. Not the many she that
she had claimed.)

The thread that supposedly caused my deletion:

the rp thread.

(As you can see, almost everything is rp, except for the one remark my
friend posted.)

I was thinking that it was odd. Cuase supposedly she issues a formal
warning but deletes my nation less than 5 seconds later.
Cause of an rp thread. So I did some searching to find out just
exactly what was said. I put Whittier into the search engine and
clicked search. And I found some interesting stuff.

America is NOT founded on Christian values.
For all those who have argued against secularism in America by saying
that our Founding Fathers built it upon a Judeo-Christian foundation,
I offer you this:

(A footnote, most of this is intended to be read by Whittier, whose
ceaseless idiocy drove me to have to completely debunk this absurd claim)

Here is MY feeling on the matter. As much as it doesn't make sense to
me, believe all you wish. If you believe in a god, all the freaking
power to you. I am no one to judge you.. and I certainly can't say
there is or isn't because quite frankly NO ONE knows.

But here's the thing, I do have a problem with Religion X.. telling me
how I should or should not think.. I do have a problem with religion X
saying they are right and there is no possible way they're wrong. I am
an atheist. It makes sense to me. However, I do play with the idea I
just might be wrong, I don't think so, but I don't know for sure, no
one does.

If religion X whatever religion is what you wish to believe, hey, I
say go for it.. if it makes you feel better, gives meaning to your
life, whatever your reasons are.. go for it.

What I don't see is a need to convert the rest of us who it doesn't
make sense to. Who cares? I mean you believe , I don't, the world
keeps spinning round, right?

Why should I care what you believe any more then you should care what
I believe? I have many friends and all my family who do believe, I
love them and that's not going to change.. Yet, they don't have a
right to dictate morality to me.. If I'm not hurting any one, who cares?

It's all very silly really.. the whole religious debate.. believe as
you wish and I shall do the same..

It's no biggy


(Clearly, the fact that people didn't agree with my view that athiests
could be just as bad as thiests had something to do with my deletion.)

also like to correct blatant misinterpretations of history put forward

I have lots of online friends who are American, and I have nothing

(this thread makes it clear I was deleted cause some people on General
did not like my views. Note Stephistan's response to Vagari.)
___________________________________________________________

The facts show that the deletion was clearly politically motivated.
And hence sets a bad precedent.
While I was warned about supposedly trolling, none of the others, who
were clearly flaming the threads recieved any warning. But were
allowed to continue to troll and flame.
The reason for the deletion was cause my nation had expressed views on
athiesm that certain person's didn't want to see expressed.
Therefore the appropriate conclusion is that the deletion was wrong
because it was politically motivated.

Steph seems to brag to Whittier's enemies how she deleted him, as if she was flexing her mod muscles.

Now, I hope the mods actually take the time to give their side of the story instead of simply stating "we made our decision, deal with it"...although it is their right to say that.

From what I've been shown, Whittier does not deserve deletion, however, I am neither a mod nor do I think I have all the information before me. I'm betting, and hoping, that there was another reason for deletion other than a debate on religion that including trolling from both sides or neither side...but definately not only one side.

What he fails to show is the threads where he flames the heck out of every one in two spots. I sent a formal warning which any of the mods can easily look up in our logs btw.. then some one in mod.. complained and he had posted the same flames in another thread in II.. I admit I was sick and tired of this game he plays. It wasn't the first time he had pulled this. On the old forums he did the same thing with several puppets saying he had died. Then when I sort of called him on it as his puppet, he fessed up. This was not the first run in and he failed to post his flames here.

Nice try!

What flames?
Is it flaming to express one's patriotic opinion?
And what of the people who were flaming me?
Again you said several puppets.
Other than Harrapa, what puppets were these?
The only one I used was Harrapa.
You say I did this several times, yet as proof, you continue to talk about the Harrapa incident as if it were many incidents. I believe the average rper would reasonably believe that to count as one incident.

Well, the NS rule is usually that two warns get you a DEAT (from what I know). It seems like you got two warnings and then got DEATed. (One warn for the Harrapa thing and then one for flaming, from what I could see).

Mabye Steph opened herself up to controvercy by bragging about the DEATion, but you did flame. I don't think you can dispute that you didn't flame.
