i didn't have a good opportunity to articulate myself in my earlier post. i was at work and so was pressed for time, and only spoke on the emotion i was feeling at that moment. it accomplished nothing and probably offended some. My apologies.

A better attempt at articulating my thoughts:

i understand the reasoning behind chibi's ban. It has nothing to do with whether chibi advocates pedophilia or not, it has to do with Chibi being given a multitude of chances to ammend behaviour mods found poor. Chibi failed to comply to the terms the mods set, and, after more leniency than any other poster has seen, was finally banned.

I get that part.

What i don't understand is what put Chibi on such bad terms to begin with. How can someone possess so immense a distress for chibi because of this?:

+ Show Spoiler +
chibi:

Okay well I start rambling here and there as usual but you certainly get what you pay for.
I HAVEN'T read the thread yet, and a lot of the below is simply pure and simple responses and explainations and clarifications. Whether you want to hear them or not, obviously some people are interested because otherwise they wouldn't have said all this shit in the first place.



a) I have never promoted paedophilia. I have discussed the possibility of younger people being capable of mature consent. I eventually concluded that the AoC must remain quite high and inflexible, for various obvious and less-obvious reasons, however also that I feel more research needs to be done into exactly what age it should be maintained at.

Just look at the states for example. Homosexuality, oral sex, intercourse.. ages of consent vary massively. I've seen countless posts on youtube and whatnot, referring to someone being a "disgusting pedo who should be locked up" for admiring someone 15 or 16. Sound familiar?

(If you don't understand, I was comparing those sort of people to the sort of people who find 15-16 year old girls attractive, but at the same time bash on people who like 12-13 year olds.)



b) Several times I told people to cut the crap with the pedo jokes and bs about me.



c) I have not posted anything illegal. I agree in hindsight my "do you find these girls attractive?" thread was in poor taste. I didn't have my own computer during those months and kinda rushed into it with the very limited time I had. I've explained before that I posted it only because it followed two other threads of the same theme ("do you find this woman hot?").



d) I'm seriously getting the impression that some people are reading "pedophilia" to mean "kiddie fucking". What the hell is wrong with you? Paedophilia is neither particularly uncommon nor is it usually a persons "sole" attraction. I like women as much as the next guy (not Mora). I just have this extra attraction towards youth. And it's not necessarily anything more than an initial visual attraction.

I'm sure a lot of paedophiles find young girls attractive visually, but wouldn't want to date one because they're annoying and loud and dumb, for example. And if someone _is_ attracted to a young persons personality, that isn't so damn creepy now is it? Someone might like immature people because he's pretty immature, playful, careless, himself. Someone might like them because he likes to have someone to teach, in the same way a parent or school teacher likes to teach. It's not a "justification" - it's simply an explaination. And it's not THAT creepy.

I do think it's unfortunate, and can present a danger, and can result in a lot of depression and strife for the poor guy or gal that has to deal with it. But something not within someone's control is never a question of morals. What you DO with these people, and what they do with themselves, is connected with morality.

But paedophiles are not child abusers. An attraction to kids is far from uncontrollable. If you have any sexual attraction that is uncontrollable I think you should seek help.

We're talking about someone who is inclined to argue - knowing that he may well be wrong - that some young people are capable of consent. What's the big fucking deal? I'm not talking about raping 8 year olds here.



e) As far as I'm aware I always use rationality to "justify" things. I don't say they're good but I do point out the reasons they occur, and the reasons they might be considered ok. I am always open-minded to people who respond in a similar manner, and I've expressed that I don't trust in my own opinion 100%, but that I do value it since I consider myself informed.

Which is a good thing, don't you think? I've spent a good few hours on a certain child modelling forum recently and have been discussing several things about the law and morality, and often explaining to people (paedophiles) why they are wrong to think what they do.

Simple examples: should child glamour modelling in any form be legal, since it is a "sexual activity"? If so, should it be controlled with a specific age of consent? What about beauty pageants? What about Dakota acting in that rape scene in her new movie? Does the fact that the movie has "artistic value" protect her from the potential abuse she might suffer in being involved in something sexual and disturbing? If she's having some special psychological evaluation applied to answer these questions, then can't the same be done for child models and the like?

Discussing these things and actively changing people's opinions for the better is kinda fun. It means a 19 year old might not go to jail for "molesting" his 14 year old girlfriend, and it means some poor 5 year old might not be dressed up in a bikini and made to pose erotically for some sick fucks to jack off over.



I'm gonna finish up with some responses to Testie and Incontrol coz they posted a fuckload of trolling lies and I wasn't able to respond and show people this before. I could respond to them much more, but won't.


"Second off, he continually brings it into threads that aren't related. Is homosexuality hereditary? Is this relevant?"

Yes it was.


"A good % of his posts tend to have the underlying quality of pushing his viewpoint on other people which has already been majorly rejected."

Well, I was involved in 4-5 debates about the subject. You can read them for yourself to see the content, tone and context of each of my posts. They are 12-19 pages long each so you've got some reading to do if you want to know the truth. I was talking to people who think "giving out condoms in schools is promoting paedophilia".


"People are trying to do what is right for their children, while his whole viewpoint takes away from that ignoring them."

What the fuck is my "whole viewpoint" anyway Testie? Do you know or are you making things up?


"Chibi's viewpoint condones it and finds it socially acceptable."

What viewpoint? What do I condone? If I've said something is socially acceptable then I must have been talking about a place where it is socially acceptable, by definition.


"finds it socially acceptable to sleep with a child"

???


"He can make all the excuses of, "if they are mentally grown and willing it should be alright. There are some very mature kids out there.""

Well, sure, that's the whole arguement for any AoC ruling. Shut the fuck up.


"For all we know his viewpoint is that of, "If I ever had a child sure, why not slip it into a kid that won't remember that i'm doing it. No harm done, and I get to experience it"."

Okay well now we've concluded that you have no idea what my viewpoint is, nor indeed know anything about me whatsoever, how about you stop posing defamatory trolls like this.


Regarding Incontrol:

Can't really be bothered with you. People should read all the giant pedo threads if they want to know what actually went on in them, as I've said before. I think the latest one started off about bestiality?


"Wasn't it like, litterally only a few months he made that thread that was completely saturated with young girls half nude and straddling sculpture penis' etc?"

I posted multiple half-nude girls? No? And the picture of sculpture penis wasn't posted by me afaik.


"He also asked "Who wouldnt stick their penis in that" in referance to an 11 year old girl."

Yeh, that was Saaya Irie, the young supermodel in Japan who has been posted about before because she has enormous breasts. What's your point? All that stuff was stupid and I got banned for it, as far as I can recall, months ago. Here's that thread:

http://teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=48914


Here are 3 of the pedo threads.. you can find the rest yourself.

http://teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?currentpage=1&topic_id=45587

http://teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?currentpage=1&topic_id=44906

http://teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?currentpage=1&topic_id=47149



LASTLY (omg), here is a brief summary of my "viewpoint". For those that didn't get it the first 600 times.


"chibi has made his views very clear in the past numerous times and does not condone relations with a child. he has concluded that some 13 year olds are able to consent, and that it is possible for them to have a healthy relationship with an adult, but that it is extremely unlikely in a society totally unsuitable for such a relationship, and in a society where young people are generally very immature (eg USA).

he has concluded that such oppertunities cannot exist because the law must be set at a particular age, however he would like to see more research into what age is suitable for our ever-increasingly mature population"



NOTE: this post has been only a clarification or response to certain things. As far as I'm aware, I'm banned for multiple fuckups - NOT because other people dislike or misunderstand me. Now I'm gonna go read the thread.


Chibi is harmless at worst. If you don't like his jokes, don't read them. If they are particularly vulgar, close the thread (these are extremely rare). He is an intelligent individual who is capable of articulating himself on a subject that few people know anything about. The motivation of society to understand his sexuality is worse than that of the transgendered and asexual communities. He provides a new perspective and some well thought-out ideas. I value that.

I'd like to believe that throughout my stay at TL.net, that the majority of readers have gotten something out of my posts other than disgust; some insight into what it's like to have a deviant sexuality; to be different and not afraid to show the world how wonderful (in addition to being cruel, unjust, exciting, interesting, and terrifying!) it is.

And i don't see Chibi to be all that different than myself. If anything, i believe myself to be alot more vulgar than Chibi a large majority of the time. I have never recieved a temp-ban. I have never even recieved a warning. What have i done to deserve such charity?

It bothers me that such a quality poster leave the place that has been my homepage for the past 4 years without ever understanding the instigation of such warranted distress.

I have never seen chibi has anything but informative, funny, and harmless. While i don't expect my opinion to be the only one and thereby shared by everyone, i don't understand how the majority of mods would disagree with that perception to such a degree that it warrants more temp-bans than any other user in the history of tl.net.

I have almost posted about pedophilia before on many occaisons. However, due to a lack of ability to express my thoughts on it in a way i'd like to share, i have often deleted such posts before hitting the 'post' button. Would i have been given a warning and subsequent temp-bans for pursuing that topic as diligently and vocally as i have homosexuality? Would i be granted yet even more charity than i have all ready obviously recieved?

I am confused. If a mod could enlighten the situation so i could better understand, it would be greatly appreciated.
Happiness only real when shared.

I know you're pissed off (your posting style gives it away) and I know you believe yourself to be in the right in this discussion.

Servolisk, if you go back a few pages I posted the beating a dead horse because somewhere around the 480th post almost everything had been addressed and it was redundant to talk about it further. Not because Chibi supporters owned arguments. But because we had all come to a consensus that the guy shot himself in the foot and was already on the chopping block.


"We had all come to a consensus" ...

Anyway, it is annoying when you type out a long and thorough argument and all you get some eye-offending picture of a guy slapping a horse in ugly colors.

I perfectly agree with Mora's post. It's not like Chibi went around with binoculars and ogled sixth graders at the local elementary school. Even if his tastes were different, it wasn't like he caused harm due to it.

I also agree with Kwark entirely. Mani, you should have just temped him instead of flaming. And if you chose to flame, you shouldn't have temped him. Or at least you should have waited for someone else to do it.

I'd have to be mad to deny the huge contribution Mani puts into this website and a few posts ago I told baal to cool it. But does that give him the right to flame and then ban when they flame back? I think no.

I don't see how you consider it excellent modding. I like mani, I respect and appreciate what he does for this site. Yet, in this case, I don't think he's in the right.

And why do you keep sucking up to him? Almost everything you've said in this thread is something practically worshipping mani -_-;

That's certainly true and I respect Manifesto greatly for all he gives us. Moderation is a thankless job.

The problem is that Baal was complaining about Beyonder flaming Chibi and then subsequently banning him so Manifesto attempts to prove baal wrong by flaming him and then subsequently banning him? It just doesn't look right.

I'd argue that banning baal is more justified than banning Chibi.
But banning baal is pretty damn justifiable.

Mora, sure, if you take Chibi's self defense only statement it seems right.
Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.

All baal was trying to attempt by way he worded his previous posts was to start some kind of uproar against the staff team, telling him to shut the fuck up was everything but out of line. He didn't stop so a ban is perfectly fine.

What doesn't look right is telling a moderator who just told you to cram it to ban you

i mean that only really ends one way

well no the ban itself is perfectly fine and well. But flaming him first, as if to provoke a bannable response, is a bit... odd.

he was bannable already for his calling out "2nd rate mods" or whatever. no need to actually wait until he said "ban me"

Baal was getting banned 10 pages ago. Whether or not I decide to flame him first is irrelevent. Does it look bad? Sure, I agree that it looks childish and probably is. Do I care? Nope. At least now he knows why he was banned.

"Fuck you. You are worth nothing at all, and know even less."

Does that read as
a) Drop it, I'm a mod.
b) Let's have a flame war.

Quite clearly B. And if Mani says let's have a flame war he has no right to ban when baal takes him up on it. Had he not posted that baal would be indefensible. Had he not banned baal they'd be as bad as each other. Engaging in a flame war and then using the mod powers, abuse of powers.

This thread is really interesting, I'm glad I only made one post in it and didn't really get involved.

I think I've learned a lot about the community and it's views on oldtimers, funnymen, general characatures of our forums. Needless to say, I have a lot more respect for a bunch of you now than I did before in terms of your critical thinking about the site and your views on moderation.

Dispite the fact that I don't see much constructive value in this circus that has resulted from this ban, at least I was lucky to get that out of it.


i havent had to be this level-headed in a loooooong time


Yeah, what's the deal with that?

You get up on this high horse like you are some kind of TL lorist pining for the old days, and then presume to tell the world about a subject and a process you know nothing about. The fact that you even comment on the quality of the forums when you yourself are responsible for lowering that quality is laughable.

The moderators on this site represent some of the smartest and most articulated people I have come across here. The level of discussion on this issue and all others would shame even the best of the general forum threads. They work hard and come up with fair results in order to make this a better place.

Get the fuck out baal. Seriously, don't come back. I would like to see your TL attitude stand at LP. Im tired of you coming here everytime you feel like you have to take a verbal dump. Do everybody a favour and just dont post.


And then you ban him for disrespect?
Unimpressed.

If you stayed aloof from the argument and he said what he said then fair enough.
But you engaged in shitslinging with him then banned him for giving as good as he got? Not right Mani.
It's an either or thing. If you want the ability to have flame wars, you abdicate the responsibilities of the Mod. You can't say "Get the fuck out baal" and then ban him for disrespect when he responds.

I know you're pissed off (your posting style gives it away) and I know you believe yourself to be in the right in this discussion. But neither of those gives you the right to tell baal to fuck off and then ban him for disrespect when he responds. I recommend you reconsider this when calmed down because this really doesn't show you in a decent light.


the difference is manifesto puts countless hours of straight-up work into this site, kwark. a moment of frustration from manifesto7 is the easiest thing in the world to overlook


I'd have to be mad to deny the huge contribution Mani puts into this website and a few posts ago I told baal to cool it. But does that give him the right to flame and then ban when they flame back? I think no.


baal attacked him and the mods, spammed, and acted like a retard. if that's not ban-worthy, I don't know what is.

well no the argument kwark and I are taking here is not that "baal should not have been banned", but rather "it was bad form to flame him before banning him, and he should have just been banned straight up"

It's a pic so nice it deserves to be posted twice! Meh, sorry. It's semi-awesomely-related.
Credit all is to [angst]chrae] of course. I couldn't even draw the tongue.
