Michael Hardner Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 If someone calls me a racist can I call them an asshole and then provide evidence to show why, in my opinion, that's an accurate description of them? That's pretty obviously an insult and nothing else. Quote  Click to learn why Climate Change is caused by HUMANS Michael Hardner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stopstaaron Posted April 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 (edited) So if someone is being a racist or bigot, they shouldn't be called out on it? if you call someone a negative name don't be a bitch about it when people call you a name this is the core problem there are people who report insults directly at them but whom also insult people ... then there are people who don't tattle when somone insults them and they also insult people and the people who get punished are the people who arent pussies reporting everything thats basically it Edited April 7, 2012 by stopstaaron Quote Don't ban me bro.

stopstaaron Posted April 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Cyber, Jack, there are times when you were assholes to me there are times when I was an asshole to you .. I am okay with that what I am not okay with are people insulting me and reporting me when I came back with an insult of my own To the people who do this grow a pair and quit being pricks Quote Don't ban me bro.

Go to Bedwetter.ca..er...Rabble.ca and talk bad about: China Islam Marxism etc... Se how long it takes you to get a warning from the moderators Go to Freakdominion....er...freedominion.ca and try to stand up for our health care system or gun control laws... See how far you get... I've been called a "neo-con asshole" at Rabble for daring to call those that shouted down Anne Coulter last year "immature and weak-minded".. I was called a Marxist at freedominion for daring to question the validity of giving my money to the insurance industry as the embodiment of "personal freedom",as it relates to health care in this country...

cybercoma Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 if you call someone a negative name don't be a bitch about it when people call you a name this is the core problem there are people who report insults directly at them but whom also insult people ... then there are people who don't tattle when somone insults them and they also insult people and the people who get punished are the people who arent pussies reporting everything thats basically it The problem is that you think telling someone they're being racist or bigoted is calling them names. That's not necessarily true. So when you turn around and "call [someone] a name" in return, it might not be equivalent to that someone pointing out racism and bigotry. In short, you're creating a false equivalence.

You break at least one rule per day.. but I don't report you, do you report people? I've been warned many times for different things. When I'm warned, I try to stop engaging in whatever behaviour the moderators have told me is unacceptable. They can't police everything, so they do the best they can with what they get.

Let's be grateful, then, and gracious too in not insulting our companion boards in Canada. We're all ultimately on the same team, after all, in that we're debating policy and exercising democratic debate in its newest (and best) form.

Mr.Canada Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 (edited) I find that a few posters use this word very frequently and should not be allowed to use it any further It is inflammatory and is only meant as a personal attack, it serves no purpose in any argument other than to antagonize Don't let others here get to you. For some people here they aren't interested in meaningful discussion but instead are interested in inflaming others. Don't fall for it. If you find yourself becoming upset log off and don't log back in for a while. Trust me, when you come back for a visit you'll see nothing has changed and those same people have moved on to bothering someone else. I used to post here a lot but not so much anymore. I still love politics but not so much the antics of some posters. Nothing I can do ab out their behavior but I have control over my own, so I just leave. The sooner you realize this the better. There are many very good posters here from all political shades mind you.

So why point out the obvious then?! You're only going to get confrontations that way and as far as POV.. its in my point of view that you are a biased mod.. whatever you are if you are not a moderator who are you to warn anybody? you have no authority to be sending me messages telling me to stop what I am doing Quote Don't ban me bro.

I don't remember reporting you. Reports are anonymous so I don't know how you'd know. This isn't the point of the thread so let's move on.
