Re: Political Beliefs
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Jman, if Boro was only supposed to get 8 hours minus time served, why is it now 12 hours? edit-i are dumb. [/ QUOTE ] Its not 12 hours, it is now, at 1:01 A.M. EST, down to 5 hours, 26 minutes, and 9 seconds. Where did you get 12 [/ QUOTE ] He says he was already banned for 6 and someone made it another 6 on top of that. 12. [/ QUOTE ] I didn't know what time the initial ban happenned (because I'm not responsible for the ban). I was just fixing the decimal place error. In any event, it has been fixed, I believe he now has 7 minutes left.

Dont be a partisan hack like BGC and im sure you will be fine. [/ QUOTE ]And what is wrong, please, with coming on as a "partisan hack" in a debate about Politics? Aside from usually losing the argument, of course, but losing or winning the argument should NOT be our mods' concern, should it? Mickey Brausch

Re: Hi
I'd still like to know exactly why Boro got temp-banned. I want to know because I have my own behaviour to take into account. Also, I will want to consider if this is a good place to be at all.
So.. what was it exactly that he did and why was it not tolerated?

Re: Hi
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] The only group that has successfully persuaded large numbers of posters to their position, despite your claims of the virtual imposibility of this task (seemingly to justify not even allowing them to try)? [/ QUOTE ] Sorry to tell you, but the "persuasion" you imagine has been mostly a transient effect of your tactics. No permanent conversions, and many bad vibrations for this forum, have been the actual results. [/ QUOTE ] Uh, this is patently false Conversions to: -> AC: 17 -> Minarchism: 9 -> Liberal: 2 -> Conservative: 1 -> Something else: 3 The idea that this many people would just temporarily change their mind about something this important is just ridiculous. I guess I can't prove that to be the case because your claim is essentially unfalsifiable (maybe everyone will realize on their deathbed that their political views were wrong all along). Not to say that people don't change their minds multiple times about their political views but I think the numbers speak loudly about the quality of the arguments. The only bad vibrations for the forum are among people who don't like having their comfortable assumptions debated and are afraid they'll have to admit them to be wrong.

Nothing Boro said in this thread seemed outrageous or even vaguely ban-worthy.

I could be contravening them right this second. No real way to be sure until the boot comes down. Don life jacket. Prepare to abandon ship.

[/ QUOTE ] I'm not saying this is what happened, or what will happen... but there is a big difference between simply pointing out that certain judgements are inherently subjective and using the fact that certain judgements are subjective as an excuse to unfairly target individuals and then hide behind the the 'subjective' judgement. If an action is taken after a subjective judgement in good faith and is purportely fair then said action should be open to examination to determine if the subjective judgement is/was fair in the eyes of others. After all, no one is perfect and we can all improve by having our actions and beliefs examined by others who can offer feedback on same.
