This is why it's important to put the trolls and idiots on ignore.

 

They don't want constructive dialog.  They don't want a mud slinging free for all.

 

They want you silenced.

I agree. I have a fairly extensive ignore list. I am guessing it is actually 5 people though ... 2 goobers, and 3 (could only be 2) others with a buncha accounts.

And no, this does not mean ignoring those on the "other side of the aisle." Quite the contrary. Constructive engagement is what promotes great dialog.

DR got banned for starting that thread. What a joke.

 

Strict use of the ignore poster feature needs to be used again.

I'm sorry. What am I missing here? 

 

As near as I can figure, DR apparently started some thread attacking Gary. The mods, who have apparently forgotten their declarations of not moderating PPP, moderated PPP and banned him for a month based on whatever happened in that thread.

 

That or aliens.

So we can all be chased around here and called fat, racists, Nazis by those that suffer no consequences (which is the way it should be seeing we self regulate here) but Gary get's butt hurt (not sure if that's actually how the mods found out) and poof one of the most prolific posters here is no vacation for one month?  I would love so see what he posted.

It was a thread calling out a poster for being an idiot and deleting threads when they took turns he didn’t like because it made him look a fool. 
 

The mods decided that since it was a “attack thread” it warranted banning. Whereas the idiot last week who made thread after thread calling every poster here a racist is safe cause PPP doesn’t get moderated. Right?

Jeesh. 

 

Last night I'm contemplating  how a poster can be proud of creepy, stalkerish behavior as he brags about his creepy, stalkerish behavior, I go to bed, wake up and find a guy who generally exhibits tremendous tolerance and patience in fielding attacks against him (perhaps some valid in the mind of the other poster, some clearly not) banned for 30 days.

 

I read the comments from the site owner on the other link before it was locked down, the benchmark seems reasonable enough but obviously many posts here (and frankly, on the main board) seem contrary to the principle.  Admittedly, a mod could lock down posters every day.  

 

Here's the funny thing--back in the Kiko Alonzo days, I was assessed a warning point for a comment made to another poster.  Generally in life, I am a follower of rules.  When I saw the warning point, and in consideration of some of the flat out hostile %$#@ I see posted about football issues, I was surprised.  I reached out, the moderator explained his thinking and while I still didn't understand, I reached out to the poster I had reacted to and we laughed about it.  Good guy, I explained my humor and off we went.  His initial reply was "What did you post?". 

 

That warning point has been like an anchor around my soul ever since, especially after I started interacting on PPP.  ?

 

I am a huge fan of the time and effort Greg puts in on this site, and like to remind non-believers that he's been right substantially more often than not.  I have no idea what was said or done, and I'm comfortable waiting for his thoughts on whether or not he would have liked to have that post back after the dust has settled.   One thing of note--I know he posted a mock up of an ex-prez with a mug shot vibe yesterday, I was wondering if that was what had him being sent to the sin bin.  Glad to hear that was not the case--though I was not a fan of that particular post. 

 

Consider this my note to @Deranged Rhino 30 days hence:

But don’t worry. The thread is deleted into the ether so there’s no chance anyone will see it and judge for themselves if what DR did was any worse than the norm on this side of the board. We wouldn’t want people thinking for themselves. 
 

How long till the mods realize there are posters in the Covid thread who don’t actually believe the world is ending? Whoooeee, do they have their work cut out for them.

No some, for some reason, think I am.  As a matter of fact trying to prove that by posting a picture of me from 10 years ago (with my permission) the picture included my wife (without my permission).  He was give a vacation.  And then I assume he's behind this scenes now passing on to Gary that I'm fat.  So based on that I just assume that everything Gary says now is made up.

I guess that is why I haven't seen him posting for about a week or so. However, he was allowed to go on and on and on for weeks before any action was taken, in spite of direct complaints to the mods.
