Got it. Now that you're greatly contributed to a toxic atmosphere you want the ability to hit the reset button to allow yourself the ability to judge others henceforth from a standard that you've been unable to abide by yourself to this point. How noble of you.
Quote:From this day forward do not attack a poster in a hateful manner
What exactly is a "hateful manner" Is calling a group of people "*****" hateful? How about calling all muslims "savages"? Or does such courtesy only extend to the posters themselves?
Quote:Do not bring up things from the previous threads that have absolutely nothing to do with the OP
Ahh, the, "do not bring all the horrible things I've posted in the past into this argument" codicil. Sorry, we shouldn't be forced to forget your past bigotry in the current thread. You made your past now live with it. It's called accountability, be an adult and deal with it.
Quote:Strive to respect each other. Every regular member of this forum is intelligent
Sorry, no. Not every member of this forum is intelligent. Given your libertarian professions I'd think you'd be against this kind of participant trophy. I guess I'll chalk it up to your current agenda. I'll summarize thusly; I will not respect the odious opinions of others. If a Klan member or a member of Isis professes their vile ideology on this board I will not respect it. Please allow me the freedom as an American to express my disgust for a, as I view it, disgusting opinion.

Review the CoC and try to abide by it http://bengalsboard.net/Thread-BengalsBoard-Code-of-Conduct
I find it charming that you wish to adhere to there rules now as you've frequently violated them yourself. There's nothing worse in this world than the "reformed" sinner who now judges others.
Quote:We said we would moderate ourselves here and we have failed. The Mods have rightly taken a more firm stance in this forum. This place has turned into a place where the only reason folks post (me included) is to try to belittle another poster. We did it in the past but lately it has just gotten uglier.
How have we failed? Because some of the posters in this forum possess such thin skin and feeble convictions that they feel the need to tattle about the, especially for the internet, incredibly tame forms of disapproval expressed in this forum? If you are so fragile that any of the banter in this forum has bruised you then I'd suggest avoiding the internet altogether. I've seen nothing that would warrant such draconian, and imminently stifling,restrictions in this forum. None at all.
Quote:Please reply if you agree or not and add your suggestions (assuming stop starting whinny threads will be #1)
Maybe please stop whiny threads?
Quote:Finally, I ask that Bengalzona become the new PnR Mod. We disagree on most everything, but I’ve never seen him attack anyone.
Finally a point of consensus. I have a lot of respect for 'Zona. Sadly, for you, I doubt he'd be on board with your borderline totalitarian view of what should be allowed to be stated or not. However, I still agree with the sentiment.
