REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE: FLYING HELLFISH - SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT AND CENSORSHIP

[suchmoon]

Remind me again what my personal satisfaction has to do with other people following the rules? I know you are trying to equate the two, but it is just not making any sense. I get great joy from exposing these types of behaviors. Even if it means obsessive control freaks like you and your buddies feel the need to constantly inject yourself into every action I take, or word I speak at any opportunity in a desperate effort to try to manufacture your preferred narrative around me, and send a clear message to anyone else who might think of not swearing fealty to your protection racket, I am still achieving my goal.

I for one wouldn't dare to deprive you of this great joy so I'll continue to ridicule your total lack of self-awareness every time I get a chance. I hope nutildah will keep creating threads that inject themselves into your actions and I'll make sure to read the dictionary tonight to find out what kind of crime a "narrative" is so that I could do that part as well. No effort shall be spared for such noble goals.

[suchmoon]

Suchmoon and TwitchySeal, meet me on the TECSHARE CRITICS Slack later tonight. We need to rehearse our narrative. Apparently its not working because he's squashed us yet again using only evidence and rational thinking.

I hope Nancy and Chuck are there too. Need to make sure that peach mint thing causes maximum irritation joy for our friend. Maybe they can send him an honorary sub-peanut to make him feel important.

Also as predicted Flying Hellfish would near instantly delete these types of comments if directed toward his left leaning friends, but since it is me they perpetually remain "unhandled".

This is a problem with having a single moderator with extremist views as a moderator of a political sub. This situation is nearly guaranteed to result in moderation that very heavily one viewpoint. Rules will either be very one sided, or will go unenforced for one viewpoint when they are strictly enforced for another.

Many polls are run by one left leaning pollster and one right leaning pollster to prevent the result from being skewed to benefit one side.

The obvious solution is to either find a moderator with more moderate views, or to find a second moderator with right leaning viewpoints who can help shift the moderation towards the middle/balanced.

Well Quickseller, you might have a point, but nobody really has a problem with FH besides you and TS. In case you hadn't noticed, TS is unhappy with all the moderators. So I don't think its a FH problem.

That reminds me: we are having George Soros do an AMA there next week. Don't forget to stop by!

Not total lack of awareness, lack of giving a fuck if you or anyone else approves. You and your pal Nutillduuuh have trouble separating your emotions and opinions from facts as demonstrated quite clearly by your obsessive reply chain here repeatedly addressing politics in the Meta section. It is almost like you can barely restrain yourself.

It's a thread about you, FHF, and P&S. Would be weird if we were addressing Ethereum hard fork and Halle Berry but hey, you're the on-topicness expert around here so just tell us what we're allowed to talk about.

Where is the part that is relevant to the conversation other than your claims of a tangential relationship? Oh right, there is none, you all are just frothing at the mouth for any opportunity to smite me for daring to have views you don't approve of, and thus you can't even manage to have a conversation about forum policy without injecting politics into it.

Didn't you call some users "communists" earlier in the thread? I look forward to you twisting it into totally not a political thing.

For the record, I fully approve you being a conspiracy nutjob and I don't have any intent to smite you - I'm sorry if it comes across that way.

I absolutely did, once, in the context of it being totally irrelevant to the conversation. Nice try at spin there. I don't much care what you say your intent is, your inability to separate politics from forum policy discussion does all the talking for you.

[suchmoon]

I absolutely did, once

Why didn't I mention he is a Canadian? Why didn't I mention he is a Communist?

Of course you would approve of his moderation, he is a self proclaimed Communist

in the context of it being totally irrelevant to the conversation

How could you... report yourself for being off topic.

Oh jeeze, you caught me, I should have searched through the entire thread with a fine tooth comb like you did. Clearly that was a lie that I never expected anyone could have caught me in seeing as it is all a public thread an everything. Should we count how many references to my politics you, Nutilduhh, and Twitchyseal have made)? Regardless the difference between your posts and mine is it was relevant to the reasons why his moderation was bias. Your posts... are just your inability to restrain yourself from bringing politics into it for no other reason than the fact that I have ideas that you don't approve of enrages you to the point you can't separate forum policy from your emotions about your political beliefs and has no relevance to the topic.

[suchmoon]

First of all, you're arguing with yourself. I never said that politics should be banned from this thread. It's impossible to discuss the topic without referring to what an utter conspiracy nutjob and a rancid troll you are, which is one of the challenges FHF is facing on that board.

But even according to your own made-up "no politics" rule, it turns out that it's ok for you to bring up politics, once because of irrelevance, and once more because of relevance. So why don't you dispense with the facade and tell us how you really feel. Do we need a conspiracy sub-board in P&S, and appoint your buddy Quickseller as a mod? That should take care of most of the issues there I think.

I never said politics should be banned from this thread either. I pointed out that you and your circular jerk pals can not restrain yourself from puking out your pathological aversion to my political views long enough to have a discussion about forum policy. I brought up Flying Hellfish's views only in the context that it effects his bias as a moderator. Your bringing up my views over an over again is only a factor of your inability to control your revulsion with people having opinions you don't agree with and it has no relevance to the thread.

You're lying and projecting as usual. I don't have a problem with disagreements, in fact debate is an essential part of a forum like this. Unfortunately anyone disagreeing with you automatically becomes a "communist" and subject to sprawling conspiracy theories. Whether you truly believe that bullshit or just use it as an excuse for trolling (real or pretend "views") it's fully relevant to your constant whining about forum rules and moderation. As evidenced by this topic and the made-up story about FHF deleting his own thread.

What exactly am I lying about? Please quote. You are pulling the classic Vod technique of accusing me of lying but never being able to quote this supposed lie. Of course to you, anything you don't agree with is a lie, because only you know the truth right?

The problem is your comments are just like many of the constant other examples of people who have disagreements with me in Politics & Society. Often they are the very same ones that let that emotion bleed into general forum conduct and abuse the various systems in anyway possible to play sad little games for having the audacity of not agreeing. I doubt that some of you can even separate the two issues. I don't care who is a Communist, as long as the Communist is treated the same as I am according to forum rules and policy. I have found many times that is not the case. I don't care if people disagree with me (clearly), what I care about is people taking that ill will from having open discussions on controversial subjects and abusing the forum's systems to "fight" ideas they don't like in another way.

That's hilarious. When's the last time you were civil to a "communist"? You care very deeply if people disagree with you to the point where you have to insult them over their beliefs if they don't align with yours. That's the problem. You can't just let a disagreement slide. TwitchySeal, for instance, has been extremely civil toward you and humble in his approach to dealing with you, and you in turn have been a massive dick.

You demand that not only the forum be perfect but be perfectly accorded with your vision of how the universe works. Well, hate to break it to you, but that's never gonna happen.

Who said anything about being civil? What does being "civil" mean? You get to define this of course. Again, thanks for making a great example of users not being able to separate their personal feelings from general forum conduct. I am not demanding anything, certainly not perfection. All I am doing is documenting publicly these interactions for review. You would be surprised how often the "universe" reacts some times to mere words alone.

Utter tosh. What exactly am I abusing?

[TwitchySeal]

If you didn't care if people disagreed with you, you wouldn't feel the need to be a massive dick to them. That's what it comes down to.

I think it's possible that he either A) Doesn't realize how aggressive (often passive aggressive) his posts are perceived by most or, more likely, B) Perceives any post that challenge something he said as a direct attack on his intelligence and/or honor.  He seems to consider his own opinions facts. Therefore other peoples opinions must be 'wrong', and he must prove them wrong, otherwise it will appear that he is wrong.

Or he might be just a troll I guess.  But I think B or A is much more likely. 

Gonna go prepare myself mentally now for all the mean things that are about to be said about me.

Yep, classic Vod technique. Keep making claims that I lied then never quoting it or even specifying what the lie was. You are abusing anything you can get your hands on.

Talking about not being able to separate personal feelings from general forum conduct: at least I don't get my panties in a bunch every time a moderator deletes one of my posts, or doesn't delete one of my adversary's posts.

How exactly does that make logical sense? If I cared that people disagreed with me I would act like you and tell the default trust list to line up so I can wash their balls for them. I am saying what I say at the expense of people like you following me around everywhere else on the forum because you can't handle that I "was a dick to you" in Politics and Society. Your disagreement isn't the problem, its your inability to isolate it from the rest of the forum's functions. Speaking of forum policy and enforcement, seems to me mods deleting posts falls firmly under that description.

Are you 12 years old? Are you chained to your keyboard? Does your mommy whip you and force you to interact with me on Politics and Society? No? I would have to conclude then if you don't like interacting with me in Politics and Society, the fact that you engage me is your own fault. I can't wipe those crocodile tears for you. Maybe some one else will.
