There was no merely about it Publius. This was your 8th infraction for personal attacks. None of the previous infractions came from me. Clearly you have developed a habit of attacking other users and a mod panel's worth of infractions are not helping you adjust that pattern. Your recidivism has caused you to cross the threshold where we must take firmer action with you. This thread, your posts in it, and your PM's to me are attempts to provoke a reaction that you think will appear to confirm your accusations. It would be my absolute pleasure to post our correspondence here for the forum to see below.

But hey, such is the nature of the fascists...

So if you find that I'e been banned, know that this is a result of the violent suppression of the political opposition of the weaker site minds...
Like I said, you are trying to provoke punishment because you think it will appear to confirm your accusations. The rules are clear. You've been infracted 8 times for the same transgression. You've tied our hands by your own lack of control and respect for the rules. I'm sorry.






Here, for anyone who would like to judge for themself, is the entire correspondence between Publius Infinitum and Metrophobe in this matter:

But setting that aside, on what basis do you conclude that the security video doesn't show a plane crashing into the Pentagon?

I mean you must be expert in the recording system... for instance I'm sure you know what the frame rate on the camera doing the recording were... and being expert in aviation, you've no doubt calculated the size of the aircraft said to be involved and calculated the airspeed said to be realized at impact, against the size of the aircraft and frame rate of the camera system...

I for one would be fascinated by your math... would you share it with us?


Publius sent me this PM in response:

I reported that 3 days ago and you didn't do a (*)(*)(*)(*) thing about that.


Here is how I responded:

We do not allow users to call other users racists or bigots, even if it is a true statement. Your question runs in the same vein, but you assume that your statement is fact. It is not.

Having said that, we are not discussing your definition of "fact" or your arbitrary line between "fact" and "opinion" here. Insulting other members is against the rules of the forum. This is your 8th infraction for this transgression. The rules are clear. You need to respect them. Consider this your last warning.

I've been asked to help enforce the rules of the forum. I try to do so without emotion or bias. Beyond that, I am not obligated to explain anything about myself to you. You break rules, you will be infracted... just like everyone else.

The mod panel has discussed your reported post. None of us agree with your assertion that action should be taken based on your subjective opinion of what is and isn't trolling. Having said that, I will take a closer look the thread as a whole. If it needs attention, I will give it attention.

Have a nice weekend Publius.

I mean here you are a shut in, who clings to a desperate ideology, yet unable to advance a valid argument... so the only means you have to strike back at your betters is to use the only power you have against those you are otherwise incapable of competing... Yes, that does mean you're a fascist, despite every fiber of your being screaming otherwise... but here you are threatening a fellow human being with the silencing of his voice, through the only means you have, a violent bannishment, a violent suppression of your political opposition.

That member to which I was responding, was eliciting the very definition of a conspiracy nut... THUS my position is a fact. He's a leftists, you're a leftists and as is always the case where one provides even the slightest scintilla of power to a leftist, they will inevitably dishonor themselves and the trust imparted to them, through the extenion of that power, you will move to misuse your power to silence the voice of your intellectual superiors.

But I want you to know that its clear to me, that you're doing the very BEST you can, God Bless ya!

AMF... (Presumably this means "Adios Mother ******. Note by Metrophobe)

PI


I responded to that PM:

Let me know.

And here is the final correspondence between us. This one from Publius Infinitum to me:
