Moved here to not do what he lets his favorites get away with, because I am clearly not one of them. BlackJack is clearly allowed to twist my words as a shot at me, but anyone responding not perfectly kindly to him, even though he consistently is a jerk to everyone, will get a stern warning from Drone.

He also does not think Covid is harmless, but that Omicron is relatively harmless (harmless enough for society to function as normally) for vaccinated individuals, and that people should be free to themselves decide whether or not they want to get the vaccine.
Holy crap can you show more favoritism? BJ takes a shot at me out of the blue by completely misrepresenting my post. I stay quiet, but of course he ticks off others and then you get mad at THEM? Really? The guy was not even responding to my comment which was to show something different from the summary (which he did not), he was responding to another like minded person. Also, are we also pretending that moderation talk does go to website feedback? This is all he does and all you do. He throws dickish comments out like punches, people respond and then we get the awww poor BlackJack post.
So everybody Drones post on this thread applies to everyone but BlackJack who can misrepresent at least me, bbut likely anyone. Everyone else though, the rules apply to you.

Any more rehashing of stupid arguments that go in circles, that repeat themselves, anything that can be construed as a manifestation of an unwillingness to let go, of bad faith posting, of posting colored by previous bad interactions, all of this is, from this post onward, will result in bans. I should have thrown out 3-4 of various lengths already, but I really have always strictly adhered to a policy of not banning people in threads where I participate as I don't want to be biased, but now, we are in dire need of a change.
You can all consider yourself pardoned for previous offenses, but should know that the leash right now is short. I'm obviously not expecting you all to suddenly be in agreement on everything, and arguing is fine, but the stupid grudges and the complete unwillingness to just step back and go 'ok, maybe that wasn't entirely reasonable on my behalf', these need to go.

Calm down lol. I actually agree he made a bad post there, one worthy of a warning (I also warned, not banned mp after he transgressed). But the notion that my exchange with pmh constitutes a stern warning is ridiculous.

Not saying what you said was innapropriate, saying that you have to be even handed about it if you are going to do it. Thank you for retroactively following through. I find it frustrating to have my posts purposefully misconstrued, especially when not allowed to respond.

But it does beg the question if promoting conspiracy theories are forbidden should users be allowed to introduce a conspiracy video to a thread and then ask others if they have watched it and coax them into defending it? How is this not baiting people to violate forum rules?

Maybe it is just awful reading comprehension and not intentional, but that seems hard to believe. I asked what was different from the summary. Not only did he not provide, he was not even responding to me. He responded to the likeminded person with more info on the made up blood clots. In fact I explicitly said I was not interested in watching, im not only talking im sarcasim and trying to set traps like you.
Take a breath, stop making negative assumptions, read the entire post without being mad at parts of sentances and have a conversation instead of constantly attacking people and maybe you wont be constintly in fight after fight.
Edit: you bolded it so I hope you actually read it this time. I did not post the video, I posted a summary of the video that debunked it. I then said I wouldnt watch the video unless he provided some big takeways that the summary left out or misrepresented. He then did not even reply to me. Crazy you're bringing this up again.

My favorite thing about the meta-discussion on Eri's "moderation" of the COVID thread is that it started long before he even actively moderated the thread. He even said he had a policy of not moderating any threads that he personally participated in. Before that his so-called "moderation" was to basically say "let's stop interpreting each other's posts in the least charitable way so we can avoid stupid back and forths." He never threatened to give out warnings or bans or any other mod action of any kind. His posts would have been no different if he didn't happen to be a mod. The only reason people were triggered is because they happen to ascribe special meaning to posts by users with mod privileges regardless of whether or not any actual moderation is being done.

This the appropriate spot to put moderation complaints. If most people posted the way you do complaining about it and you are the one who does it the most, they would get warned, banned or told to bring it here. I have no problem with whatever the rules are going to be, my issue is that you are the special snowflake who does not have consequences but constantly claims victimhood. You start and continue fights with many people and it is always their fault. I brought this here because he put down a rule and was again making it for everyone but you. Sadly this thread will likely stay active because you won't stop.

Though neither create this "irony" you are looking for. Ill await the many future fights you get into by misrepresenting peoples posts and horrible sarcasm.
I think of you as the sites super annoying little brother sho continuously pokes and annoys people until they smack back at you. Then Drone is the mom who seems mpstpy reasonable except when it comes to ber baby who she can see no wrong and always tells the others to stop picking on you, seemingly unable to see that little brother is the one starting it over and over and just loving whenever anyone else gets in trouble.
Like the new danglars but more direct and less flowery language.

I've completely ignored your posts for probably at least a year now. You on the other hand respond to every single one of my posts and constantly make condescending digs at me to try to bait me into shit-slinging. For example

One of the major reasons for having vaccinations required at schools is not just to protect the children, but because it is a vector that almost all members of society pass through. So if you want all the members of your society to have a vaccination this is the best place to do this.
@blackjack these posts are hilarious, the drama, irony and victimhood. Classic!
Unlike you I actually do take the high-road and don't respond to your posts like these because it's obvious you just want to get into a stupid back and forth with me that nobody cares about and will bog down the COVID thread.
The irony is that you are endlessly accusing me of being a shit-starter while I ignore you. The endless accusing me of being a shit-starter is in itself a desperate attempt to start some shit. I guess me choosing to ignore you in the COVID thread has left you starved for the attention you need so you had to make this thread. It did get you some attention so I guess mission accomplished.

You Bolded part and the reason you were warned is because not only did you respond to me, but you did in a purposefully asshole way including misrepresenting me.
I posted this "burn" of yours before the rule when it was what everyone was doing including yourself. And after I had stopped using the thread of a couple months so hard to blame me for that one chap.
If I wanted to get in a stupid back and forth with you I would have posted this in the thread. Instead I followed the rules and posted here. It is you that then started this "back and forth". I totally get that you have zero ability to see anything from anyone else's perspective, what I do not get is how Drone can not see that you are not the victim, you are an active participant who tries to get in arguments, in fact the one who starts most of them.
The point of this thread is to make in painfully obvious to Drone and anyone else that you are at the very least an equal part of the "problem" if not the biggest part, the most annoying thing is the whole innocent victim act somehow is working for you. And I thank you for continuing to make my point for me. Because many people saying it is not working. But now that there is a microscope on the thread, your posts there and here are going to make it obvious.
Or I'm wrong, this thread will die as soon as you stop posting in it and I will have nothing to bring up because you won't be purposefully a jerk to people. Either way it is a win.
Edit: And like seriously when the thread is about you responding to me poorly do you really want to claim you have not been responding to me for a year
If everyone can not see the BS when you make it so obvious. How many instances do you want me to show of you responding to me in the last year? I can do direct and indirect.

You do realize you made this thread after some other moderator, not me, turned down your report, right? I mean, you were technically correct that bj made an actionable post, but even acknowledging that, you're mostly just making it clear to me how annoying you are being towards bj and that he thus deserves considerable leeway in how he responds to you specifically, because you do, indeed, keep bringing up people without them interacting with you. The way you have name-dropped me like 5 times in this thread based on the actions of another mod just confirms this. Just chill, dude.

Here's basically your issue: You are so convinced of your own righteousness that you can't just make a point once and then drop it.
You often make good posts with valid points in them. However, when there's some disagreement about something (in this case, how I hold BJ to a special standard, or that BJ is a shit-starter snowflake), you keep making the same post over and over until ignoring you stops being an option, even though the point you are making actually has been answered/addressed in the past - just not with the answer you were hoping for. People disagree. Deal with it. I consider my role on this forum to facilitate discussion - not stifle it. For this reason, I, rather consistently, try to sort out disagreements between the 'lone rangers' who argue coherent points of view that go against the mainstream forum points of view (even though I myself tend to lean more towards the mainstream). This is why you see me present my interpretations of say, Danglars, or BJ, or GH (but not Nettles or Razyda), because these are posters who make valid points but whose points are misinterpreted by lots of posters and it causes unnecessary tension and hostility.
|
These sort of responses are exactly the issue. I am not at all convinced of my own righteousness, it is the opposite. I am fully aware that I am being a jerk BACK to BJ. I react to others and treat them how they treat me. The frustrating part for me, and likely others is the special treatment. I was actually not posting on the thread for 2 months, you can check, and yet it still happened he just found a new person actually people to fight with.
It would make sense that a different moderator would turn it down, that other moderator did not make the statement you did.
In hockey there are people called instigators. They go around causing problems and then often time it is the other people who get the "retaliation" penalty. In a live action sport with tons going on it is hard on the refs, however with TV replay it is not. I can not understand how with all the time to review and the constant negative interactions he has, including with some of the nicest and most gracious posters, that you think he is not a large part of the problem.
I also agree and know you feel justified in your "considerable leeway", but it is not just to me, he does it to everyone and you do not give the others the leeway or come out in anyone else's defense. If you would prefer I can start instead bringing up when he is jerks to others rather than myself.
I have a different take than you on those three, with Danglars he was actively stirring the pot. He got so many other people in trouble by encouraging them, subtle digs and so on. It is not a fluke that since his ban the US pol feedback thread has switched from being used on the weekly and never falling off to being necro'd once per year. GH is GH.
I'm not even campaigning for BJ to get banned the way he is me. I'm just fed up with your double standards. If he wants to be a jerk to everyone then let everyone be a jerk back OR do not let anyone be a jerk. I'm fine either way, my ask is for fairness.
And BJ really needs to decide if he is against cancel culture or not because it is also extremely frustrating to have him talk about everyone should be able to say whatever they want blah blah, and simultaneously be actively, and publicly trying to get multiple banned. It is very on brand to want different rules for people who agree with him compared to those who disagree with him. But what I have liked about TL is generally they apply the same rules to everyone.
That is all I'm asking of you Drone, stop with the "special considerations" hold everyone to the same standards. Take into account that you want me banned and dislike me then try to filter that out. Or just look at how he acts with others. How many times have people like Serm and MP been banned other than dealing with him? How has he managed to be rude multiple times to people like DPB who never get into it with anybody?
You might find out you were mistaken on who the problem is, heck if someone he respects like you was actually telling him how he is part of the problem, maybe he wouldn't be in multiple active fights with multiple different posters most of the time. Or I might never post in this thread again because BJ is model poster and it has been my own biases. I guess we shall see.

Not really caring about having this discussion because, again, you're just repeating stuff you've written before. So I'm just addressing the second to last paragraph:
I warned you once like 3 1/2 years ago, but I've never banned you. I warned MP once and gave him a 2 day ban once, for very specifically breaking the rules I had specifically stated were now in place. (Remember, I said 'you're all pardoned' - meaning everyone started at scratch, after that.) The first time he did it I warned him, the second time, he got a two day ban. BJ was guilty of a similar infraction once. I warned him. Serm hasn't been banned once since he got a two day ban back in 2017. He's been warned a few times since, but not even once since 2019. As far as I'm concerned, he was the poster who was by far the guiltiest in terms of shitting up the covid thread - but guess what, he hasn't been posting like that since I specified the new enforcement of rules, so he hasn't been actioned. If there's one thing I specifically regret in terms of how I've moderated the thread, it's actually not slapping Serm with a warning (and then bans) during the early stage of one of his 'you're an anti-vaxxer' rants targeted towards BJ, because I think those were clearly unacceptable, and a large part of what soured the relations.
