Stop pretending you're a victim here, grow up, and follow the rules.

The actual issues are trwofold, Catz.
1 -- When postings are iniatiated for the sole purpose of flame baiting/Trolling that immediately set about the task of spreading hatred, what should be the forum's proper response, and when posters openly advocate killing people based upon their sexuality, what should the response then be?
2 -- Once these postings appear, and peple outraged by the barbarity resond, why does the site take the position that it is those outraged by the hate who are the haters and not the one advocating the killing?
Nobody is playing "victim" here, Catz, and nobody is "whinging". All that I think peple want to know is why are the people who are defending against the hate being portrayed as the haters by this forum's moderation staff?
Perhaps if you could explain things without telling peole to "grow up', "stop whining" or other acts of derision, you might find them more willing to see your side of things.
Despite the large number of postings that have been censoerd - -all from those who object to the bigotry - -and none censored advocating, among otherthings, the killing of homosexuals -- I don't think the real issue here has to do with the niggly piggly interpretation of rules. It has to do with the action of mods who not only censor, but add their personal opinions while doing so, and do so in a way they portray those who object to the hate as being the haters.
