The Revolution thread refers As promised about that post 60 which has apparently caused such grief and led to a series of rule breaking posts No personal insult was made or intended by post 60 but I believe one was perceived. That said, no one should have to phrase every debating point so that it's impossible for anyone, no matter how sensitive, to be annoyed by the challenge. Post 60 was in response to post 59: Which as others have commented, appears to be extolling violent insurrection particularly after post 42 which leaned that way. That Affa made clear in the much later post 73 that he didn't mean that is good but not known at the time. My view (as expressed throughout that thread) is that revolution against a democracy is utterly abhorrent. It is the usurping of undeserved power by thugs often through use of murder, destruction, mutilation, rape and other horrors often involving visceral attacks to settle imagined 'scores' So it was and is legitimate to seek to clarify an apparent post 59 call for revolution. I chose to highlight what that post 59 appeared to be saying with an opportunity to deny it: And then give my view on that possible meaning
The "correct?" clearly gives the opportunity for Affa to say something like "no, I did not mean that, the words are unfortunate" instead he has mistakenly applied the 'moral sewer' to be a comment on him and not what it clearly was aimed at: the interpretation of his post 59 he was being asked to confirm or deny. Unfortunately in post 67, Affa chose not to deny that interpretation so in posts 68 and 70 that was pointed out. That triggered a series of insults in posts 71, 73, 75, 96, and 98 followed by a series of posts intended to undermine moderation. Hopefully this ends now |

You didn't include truthful, obvious rules transgressions, and honest factual criticisms of administration, but those too will receive the same moderated response! It ends when you personally stop trolling posters a number of which have complained of you doing. |
