Banned from Conspiracy theories.

Di0genes

I've received a ban from conspiracy theories, which should shed light on what a racist little cess pit it's become.

A poster started a thread

CNN journalist fired for telling the truth about the Jews

It's the usually, blah blah jews control the media nonsense.

For example

paddyirishman wrote:

Are Jewish people considered to be an oppressed minority

Yeah and if you don't agree they destroy you.

He continues;

Brown Bomber wrote:

if you accept that Jewish dominace has negative implications.

Brown Bomber wrote:

Bigots dominate the media. If you are non-bigot you are forbidden from mentioning the bigot run media, if you are a bigot you can glorify the bigot run media and the bigot defamation league don't bat an eye-lid. If you dare to mention the unmentionable then what you've mentioned is proven by the actions of the bigots.

He's clearly replacing the word Jew with Bigot.

And then he goes on to say he wants more "transparency" about Jews working in the media.

At this point I had reported several posts on this thread, and absolutely nothing was done. Exasperated. I wrote

me wrote:

Incidentally how are you going to enforce this transparency. Ohhhhh I know, lets make all jewish performers and journalists wear something so we know they're jews. Bet you'd love that.

For this I received a months ban, for implying a poster is a Nazi because and this is the hilarious part, a poster Brown Bomber who is literally demanding what the Nazi's made law when they came to power.

Hi Di0genes,

it moves forward by a CMod looking at the original cause of the ban, and making a few enquiries. Apologies for the delay - I should be able to come back to you on this soon.

cordially,

Hi Di0genes,

on its own, a month's ban does seem excessive at first sight, but this is a repeat ban, and most mods escalate them, particularly if they come shortly after you've returned from another ban, as is the case here, and particularly if that previous ban was for similar behaviour, as is the case here.

The actual cause of the ban is straightforward - you're calling another user a Nazi, and insulting other users is not acceptable under most forum charters. I appreciate that you believe that the other user's opinions give you just cause to call them that, but the other user is entitled to express his opinions, however unpleasant they may be, as long as he does so within the bounds of the Charter. He stayed within the bounds of the forum charter, and you didn't.

Under the circumstances, there's nothing I can do but support the ban, and suggest that if you do want to oppose opinions you find objectionable, you find some way of doing so that doesn't result in withdrawal of your posting privileges.

moderately,
Scofflaw
