[Closed] Extraordinary bias of mod in politics forum.

Francis McM

I asked another poster a reasonable question and I get banned for asking the question. The question I asked the poster - who is a prolific poster in politics and has made tens of thousands of posts in favour of the S.F. position - was basically if he would agree with Michelle O'Neill's "no alternative" opinion etc ( she gave a speech some time ago in which she said there was "no alternative" to the pira campaign etc. )

The mod tells me I am making a dig at the poster and bans me.

Why does the other poster never get banned? For example, he brings the subject of Arlene Foster up out of the blue ( post no. 113) and in post 115 says "Arlene who was a public representative at the time said she would abandon her people if a democratic vote went against her."

Perhaps he can ask him where or when she said " she would abandon her people if a democratic vote went against her."

I do not believe such words ever came out of her mouth.

As this is not the first time the mod was caught out, his resignation is called for.

Are you disputing the ban? Have you discussed the ban with the moderator in question?

Confirm you have taken steps to discuss it with the moderator and I will then ask. category moderator to look at it.

Thanks.

In the absence of an available Category Moderator I will look at this dispute. Can you please post the PM exchange you've had with the moderator here, or send it to me personally.

Screenshots are ok.

Thanks.

As there's been no reply from the OP, and I don't see warning or ban applied to the account, I will close this off.

@Francis McM if you wish it to be reopened please contact me via PM.

Thanks.
