Up to now the thread has served as a general purpose "Conservative vs. Liberal" thread. And it was kind of nice that way imo. When it comes to only talking about the election or two candidates, there is surprisingly little to say. | ||

A big deal has just been made here over that permaban for the affirmative action post about the races being differentially intelligent, but people got away with the exact same stuff for a half dozen pages earlier in the election thread. And the discussion didn't even end because of a mod action, it just dwindled off. | ||

I'm not denying that. I'm just adding to what p4NDemik himself pointed out in the thread. It's been largely unmoderated for a very long time.

The election imminent, mods will be reading this thread more, and many more people will be posting in it. Moderation will tighten up. Do not expect to get away with the same stuff that you may have over the past 6 months. edit: This concludes my Mr. Mod speeches go back to your regularly scheduled programming. | ||

It would seem that he is rather less concerned with having posting abilities than I lol | ||

Do you have a mod in particular you PM or just the one that banned you? | ||

PM'ing the mod who banned me played the greatest role in my unbanning.....I think  I say that because I cannot know what transpired in the mod lair, and there is where the truth lies. | ||

What sort of rare, untouched, and pure breed of four-legged animal did you sacrifice in their name to appease them? Oh. And how many? Horses, I assume, are off-limits; as well as "elephants."  | ||

Do those guys who complain about mods think TL is democracy or something? because it's not. As long as dictators cater to majority of citizens, there is nothing wrong with dictatorship. Please tell me you aren't voting in our elections... I've made my weekly signature change in honor of you. Congrats! | ||
