Whatever you are doing to get suspended. Stop. We need you both to keep the discussion diverse and balanced.
Also, I am always surprised to hear you are suspended. You have always been civil with me. No personal abuse. etc. Even though we are at opposite ends of the spectrum.
EDIT: if this post breaks some CoC then pls just delete it. I was just tying to say thank you to Dill and give some context. Since I am uniquely qualified
Thank you Dill.
In the past I have been suspended appropriately for pushing the limits. I have sussed a few things out that explained a lot as to why some things got the reactions it did. I wish I had figured it out earlier as it would have changed my approach on a couple of topics. And probably the heat on the board overall would be turned down.
A lot of my suspensions since the fall are for things like both sides need to cool down, when someone gets upset at a post or comment of mine. And then we have some outliers that are just oddballs.
I will say that overall the mods are fair and are willing to speak with you so you can correct the issue. Which I have on quite a few occasions, also gotten several pm’s letting me know if I was getting close to the line. This is wonderful because it allows us all to keep the discussion going. Communication is important in ohs forum because so many people claim to be offended by so much it makes it hard to both moderate and Post. Especially when you post outside the canned statndard liberal line of thought as I do.
Moderating is tough because most liberals probably find most of my posts ban worthy. I always thought a good rule of thumb was always how people from your side felt about your post. This takes the emotion out of it. Having some more conservative/libertarian mods certainly help since they are active in the forum.
