Where are the left-leaning DP staff members?

We all know yours is likely to be all over that centerfold, oh I forgot that you prefer "boy butter"

:salute:

We have intelligent moderators here, sorry!

[jimnyc]

Since I see no moderator action necessary anywhere, nor any having been taken that need correction, I'm unsure as to why you would even ask this question.

[typomaniac]

Hm, moderators. They moderate. Suggestive of moderate viewpoints. :poke:

such disrespect for the liberal point of view by the owner of the board pretty much proves the point made by the opening question, does it not?

Why would stating an obvious truth be disrespectful?

[Sir Evil]

Hm, moderators. They moderate. Suggestive of moderate viewpoints. :poke:

Stupid questions get stupid answer, life is like a box of choclates huh?

[jimnyc]

Hm, moderators. They moderate. Suggestive of moderate viewpoints. :poke:

Staff's viewpoints have zero to do with moderating duties and decisions.

STFU, maggot man, we disrespect garbage like yourself Period!!

bullshit.

dmp follows me around negatively repping me incessantly, and then, when I send him a PM questioning his behavior, he arbitrarily bans me for 48 hours for "harassing" him via PM.

Get a clue.

Okay, here's a hypothetical situation.

Suppose Member A has a problem with something Moderator B has just done. The proper thing would be to notify another moderator, correct?

Now, if Member A is a believer in the left and Moderator B believes in the far right, isn't Member A more likely to be treated fairly if left-leaning Moderator C is asked to become involved? Only left-leaning moderators don't exist here. Hmm...what to do?
:confused:

I don't show respect to someone who throws another's CANCER in their face during a debate.

And my viewpoints, and how I feel about liberals has NOTHING to do with my moderating abilities, which has been proven time and time again.

[jimnyc]

I read said PM. You DO NOT send a PM to a staff member and call them the "C" word simply because you're angry.

And please don't ask me to "get a clue" and rile me up again after you just asked me to back off of you. I backed off, now you want to start in on me about how the board is ran. You can't win a debate so now you'll resort to making up claims about the board and staff?

[Sir Evil]

nobody likes to deal with ignorance, best to try, and steer it away. There is nothing arbitrary about banning you, you don't have the proper integrity for a good debate forum, you are beneath the normal man.

Hm, moderators. They moderate. Suggestive of moderate viewpoints. :poke:

Actually, two different things. A moderator is one who presides over a group, one who arbitrates or mediates. A "moderate" is one who does not hold extreme views. If the word "moderate" is used as a verb, then it too refers to presiding over or arbitrating. In no case does the word moderator refer to someones particular political or religious viewpoints.

Considering your partner in this very thread, MFM, contacted me about an issue with dmp just last week, and I turned over dmp's decision - looks like your theory just got blown out of the water!

:laugh2::laugh2:

The infamous "C" word, amazing! typical to for him to go to pm, and ask for a truce of some sort where he is safe from the board view..

lol, I just told you this shit near word for word Jim, this guy is the goo beneath the trash.

Whether you intend to be or not, you're implying that people with extreme views can still do a credible job of arbitrating or mediating. I'm not at all so sure of that. Neither are most people, I would guess.

[jimnyc]

ban dmp for 48 hours

dmp has my full support, and the only one that was deserving of a ban was you for your disgusting comments to him in PM.

[Abbey Marie]

No, quite the opposite. I'm stating that one is not related to the other, though you are trying to make it so. As I've said, the act of moderating, and the state of being a moderate, are two different things.

[retiredman]

dmp has my full support, and the only one that was deserving of a ban was you for your disgusting comments to him in PM.

why am I not surprised by that sentiment?

use your super powers to go review the legitimacy of the negative reps he has given me and tell me that they are not arbitrary and capricious

and then explain why, for some reason, I am unable to neg rep him back....

and THEN tell me that liberals get an equal shake here.

[typomaniac]

Considering your partner in this very thread, MFM, contacted me about an issue with dmp just last week, and I turned over dmp's decision - looks like your theory just got blown out of the water!

I'll ignore for the moment the fact that I have only your word for this example. Much more important is whether the other staff members would be capable of overturning a similar decision. AND whether you would trust them to. (You can't be everywhere.)

[typomaniac]

No, quite the opposite. I'm stating that one is not related to the other, though you are trying to make it so. As I've said, the act of moderating, and the state of being a moderate, are two different things.

Different, sure. But please don't tell me that you think they're totally unrelated.

[jimnyc]

Well, MFM can admit to it if he so chooses to, or any other staff member that read my comments in our privileged forum.

[PostmodernProphet]

Okay, here's a hypothetical situation.

Suppose Member A has a problem with something Moderator B has just done. The proper thing would be to notify another moderator, correct?

:confused:

seems like a simple problem with a simple solution....you take Member A who is a believer in the left and hold him up to a well deserved public ridicule, then point out that he ought not to have had a falling out with his betters and not to do it again....

see, problem solved....

[Sir Evil]

and THEN tell me that liberals get an equal shake here.

maggots & liberals are entirely two different things, you are not a liberal.

Anyone can see by the condescending attitude you responded to DMP with, a board administrator, and you are asking about things being equal? lol, you ignoramus.. You are too stupid to even be worthy of replies but somehow egging you into another meltdown is always fun.

[retiredman]

I'll ignore for the moment the fact that I have only your word for this example. Much more important is whether the other staff members would be capable of overturning a similar decision. AND whether you would trust them to. (You can't be everywhere.)

in that one instance, he did indeed overturn dmp....I will gladly stipulate.

[Abbey Marie]

Different, sure. But please don't tell me that you think they're totally unrelated.

They are unrelated insofar as you claimed that by virtue of the word moderator, we should be moderate. If you want to argue that it's good for moderators to be moderate, that's fine.

[jimnyc]

Thread is done and went on longer than I normally allow. I don't allow our moderator decisions and board decisions to be publicly discussed but I thought a few minutes couldn't hurt.

This bias thing has been around for so long and has NEVER held water. Pale Rider and OCA got reprimanded. Staff removals. PLENTY of decisions overturned after staff discussion - and countless liberals still here even though plenty beg to have them banned.

I no longer care what the perception is. I know damn well that I am an antagonistic prick. But I also know damn well that when it comes to fairness of the board and it's decisions, I've been nothing short of fair with everyone. I've been ridden so many times over the years for unbanning members, overturning bans almost instantly, allowing members back into threads they were locked out of & including the entire board, including members from the left, to have a say in the future of the board when I open such threads.

The very fact that you are all here bitching on the board only furthers what I am saying.

Thanks, and sorry to close the thread on ya'll, but no good will ultimately come from allowing it to continue.

Have a good night everyone.
