normally when you put quotation marks around something it indicates an actual quotation, but here on TL it indicates a paraphrasing
The unrealistic sound of these propositions is indicative, not of their utopian character, but of the strength of the forces which prevent their realization.

xDaunt punished, Biff goes free, and people wonder why there’s outrage at an unequal application of the rules. You can allege someone would deny rape on videotape, but you will be banned if you point out that such ridiculous posts separate the wheat from the chaff.

That’s literally the case, 15 hours after the original post and 4 hours after the response.

Mods can’t even use quote marks appropriately on the ban message, to be banned for something he didn’t even say lol.

I never post in the thread and only read it, but this ban seems kinda strange to me. Both on the scale of the thread in the last little bit and the scale of xDaunt posts this isn't even close to being the worst post.
Sure, it's kind of a meaningless snarky post but that's half the thread at some points, although xDaunt is definitely overrepresented in the snarkiness category (Kwark is even worse).
If it's a cumulative ban because of snarkiness you can also just say that instead of this ban reason that doesn't really say anything at all.

The moderation has gone crazy. That's the only conclusion I can draw from latest events.

To be very clear, here is the chain of events:

1. Biff says xDaunt will defend Trump even if he is caught on video raping a 7-yo.
2. xDaunt quotes iyMoon and *agrees* with the post he quotes, and calls a general group of posters who agree with Biff "chaff" (he doesn't even say which posters, although from context it's clearly Biff and Velr).
3. xDaunt gets banned for this.

?! I know xDaunt is on a short leash for past infractions in the thread, but this is just some really bad moderation. Either you let both things slide, and let shitslinging happen in the thread, or you enforce the rules, and Biff gets a timeout. Actioning xDaunt's rather tame response is just bizar in either case.

I as well am left confused why, of all the many highly questionable posts in that entire series, the one that got singled out for moderation is a subtle jab that few people could think is offensive (“chaff” became “trash” in the ban reason too).

I sure hope this won’t end up being another one of those “it’s not just the one thing, it’s a history of bad behavior” excuses where one questionable ban leads to another, and on the flip side others who inexplicably avoided bans for highly objectionable behavior avoid another one because they don’t have a “history.” That self-referential justification is far too prevalent, it seems.

Does he have to?

If I say "hey, I think zerocool is a serial rapist" do you have to deny that for it to be slander?

I'm not even clear how much of my ban history are the bans that were by mistake or I was told that it was a mistake but I should just wait it out.

Yes dmcd, I did choose to pause not posting here to cosign that I thought the ban doesn't make sense either.

I would categorically deny and demand you show proof. You will have me on record saying that is false on every account and tantamount to slander.

See? Easy peasy to denounce a slanderous accusation. Why didn't he? And instead...he went right back to defending trump, proving Biff right.

That was a bad post of xD's to use to justify the ban, however.

Actually, yes. Slander is only defined as such if it is not true. If you can't (or don't want to) deny it, then it is more probably true than not.

I did. Did someone slander you, you denied it, they refused to provide proof, and somehow you came out in the wrong?
