Metrophobe is workin' her fascist magic!

Yes, class. You have been sent here to be reeducated at the most basic level due to the fact that you have developed a conservative ideology in today's world. This obviously means that the educational establishment in our great nation has not properly educated you, and is now obligated to try again. And you are obligated to comply for your own good.

Oh give me a break! There are easy and simple rules to follow, and one is don't insult a person directly! It really is easy, because you can say "your post is stupid, retarted, and full of conspiracies" and you would get in no trouble!! It is just when you put YOU ARE into the equation that you get into trouble!

I told you the other day, that you were becoming one of my favorite conservative posters. I will have to take that back if you continue to defend publius, whose posts are unquestionably my least favorite on the whole site! See what I just did their!! I insulted his posts! Easy huh.

[stekim]

MAN... I just can't seem to avoid calling names... what a dufus I am...

This seems OK. You are allowed to insult yourself.

There are no 'fair' leftists...

I will do all I can to ensure that everyone follows the rules on this site!! I only care about justice, and I did not just point this out because it is publius!! Who am I kidding, yes I did!!

In my opinion, this site is very well moderated.

[Rino]

I have not posted nearly as much as a number of the members on this board. But I have never had a problem with any of the moderators in my time here.

Debate by nature is often heated. However if one resorts to name calling, even if they are right, their point is lost.

Attack the view, not the individual with the view.

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:

Also please tell why you're so a hard ass here, but you seem to have absolutely NO INTERESTS in the TROLLING of Big Red **** the troops thread?
I reported that 3 days ago and you didn't do a (*)(*)(*)(*) thing about that.

Here is how I responded:

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.

Publius Infinitum responded next:

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)

I responded to that PM:

Let me know.

Metrophobe

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