Politics Boycott

[4 High]

Someone earlier had it right when they said a no holds barred forum would be best. Just ban trolls and personal attackers as they occur. What you could do, is set that board to request, so if anyone wants access they have to request in ATF for access to it and this way they know what they are getting into. They do that at Trekbbs and the politics board there gets much more traffic then ours and it works very well.

That is a good example of a bad response to a legitimate defense. If you are disputing his statement, why don't you provide something of value that supports your position?

Because he's the mod and he doesn't have to. Another textbook example of why Jman202 doesn't deserve to be green.

I have no problem with Jman. I think he is a good mod...
You complain and yet you provide no evidence to support your assertions. Either put up or shutup....

JMAN202's ONLY RESPONSE: "But, But, Some of my best friends are Black!"

And there have been plenty of other examples already discussed ad nauseum in the past week in this forum.

On a scale of 0-10 with ten being blantant mod abuse and 0 being nothing.... I give this remark a ONE. Did he temp ban you? If so I would rate the ban a SIX. Otherwise is a minor irritating comment. Worth a PM to Jman but nothing more...

I'm not going to search for them. Making such accusations should not be made flipantly. If you want to make your case, then compile them in one post. Don't expect others to do your homework for you.

If the "But, But, Some of my best friends are Black!" comment is your most damning example....then you have a VERY weak case and should have kept silent.

The point is he's moderator of a political forum and casting terms like "anti-semite" around without much substantiation. When confronted on it by the poster, he dismisses the rebuttal with a snide one-liner. Standard.

No, heaven forbid. But making accusations of anti-semitism apparently SHOULD be made flippantly.

And I don't need to compile anything for you. If you've followed the saga, you're clued in. If you haven't followed it, it's too late anyway, the forum is closed for now and my opinions went to Mat via PM.

I talk to Snowball fairly regularly and I've met him. I'm taking his word in this over someone who basically begged for a modship.
