I don't know what his problem is, but he could just as easily make his point without flaming me with insults.

Wait, and calling most black people "mildly retarded" isn't flamebait?

Consider yourself warned. Again. Thanks for the heads up. I'll VoM CSW too.

I wasn't baiting, I was stating a fact, based on avg IQ, I stated that IQ level was considered mildly retarded, and it is. I can even cite data. Are we not now allowed to cite data which folks disagree with?

With all due respect, VE, I don't think YOU have the standing to complain about flaming. People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Plus, you love flamebaiting, so you should kind of expect it. Sorry.

When somebody starts a thread about AVG IQ, and I post science, facts, truths, I don't expect it to be called baiting just because the PC lobby doesn't like it.

"Facts" do not justify flamebait. It'd be like if someone pointed out how the Nazis slaughtered millions of Jews and added a "ha! ha!" at the end. Yeah, it's a fact, but its not particularly civil of you to make light of it.

That's flamebaiting. And it's bullshit.

Or, you could just stay clear of it without making it into a racist issue? To be fair, you can't really expect people to just take those kinds of comments without offence. You'd retort too if someone cited a study that said that most Calvinists (or some other group which applies to you) had an IQ so low it warranted them being called retarded, wouldn't you?

So still, I get warned for posting facts about AVG IQ in a thread about AVG IQ just because you don't like the facts even though I presented them in a proper manner. I didn't post, "ha ha!" at the end, I just posted the facts and noted that the range of that particular IQ falls into the range of "mildly retarded".

I don't think it was a flamebait at all.


I think what you posted about me the other day was a bait.

the actual discussion in that thread would probably make me want to reach through the monitor and pound VoteEarly's head into his desk]


I don't think it's very civil for a mod to post that, granted you can think it, that's your right, but to post that about an NSer in a forum that others will see, it's just not right.

You don't get warned for posting "facts," you get warned for making racist and derogatory remarks.

If you have a problem with a Moderator ruling, you can contact the Admin - Salusa@nationstates.net is the proper adress by which to do so.

It's evident that VoteEarly's detractors are taking this opportunity to come out of the woodwork and bash him. This is not the proper purpose of Moderation; thus I'm going to lock this thread.
