No, no. Those are two totally different people. Really.

Just Call the Game Consistently
 

Those of you who are basketball fans know there can be a lot of subjectivity in reffing a game. Sometimes refs call the game tight and sometimes they take a handsoff approach. It is up to the players/coaches to see how the game is being reffed and adjust your game to how it is being called.

The following post was made in the politcs forum:

NT! Uses the term "polltarding" to describe dumb polls....

To me this post/poll is meaningless baiting...aka trolling.
But....evidently this post has evidently been judged to pass the high standards of the politics forum.
OK...cool. I just ask the mods to ref the game CONSISTENTLY should a non-liberal choose to make a similar post...

My perception is liberal mods are quicker to drop the hammer on conservative partisan posts and less likely to drop the hammer on liberal partisan posts. The libertarian/conservative mods generally seem to have more of a live-and-let-live modding style. The result is conservatives are more likely to get warned/banned/suspended than liberal posters...

Seriously, trolling him about this is really lame. Either show some proof or get over it.

No. Just by the time I read it there had been replies that dismissed it for what it was so there was no need to moderate because the forum seemed to take care of it on it's own. If he makes the same poll again today that is a different matter.

As long as the modding is consistent for both conservatives and liberals....then I will be a happy camper. About a month ago a conservative partisan was banned from the politics forum for making less inflammatory posts. Hence my request that conservative partisans not be singled out.

I have NEVER called him a liberal. I think political forum mods span several different political positions.
If I remember correctly, I think RR has more of a libertarian bent.
