Are you talking about me? I haven't opined on any of this other than I think you shouldn't call Steveo a troll. Do you have a question for me?
He has been warned about his behaviour before.
I referred, in my comment, to you and the rest of "liberals are too extreme" bunch in this thread.
I have a pretty good sense of what a moderator does and I would think fairness should matter, even to dissenting opinions.
When a bunch of nazi assholes came down to Charlottesville, they also came here, posting links to stormfront and other racist crap.
Do I let neo-nazis express their dissenting opinions?
No.
Do I have to let misogynists blast us about their 1950s based evolutionary psychology?
No.
Do I have to let people come here and tell our black, female or other minorities that their lived experiences, backed up by through sociological studies, are invalid?
No.
My goal here is to keep this forum open to everyone except the intolerant - everyone except those who are trying to freeze others out of the community.
But no, I don't know how you got the job or what your boss's guidelines are for discussion. Is it anything different from normal, fair discourse? I wouldn't think so.
Did you notice it's an early retirement forum? The purpose of the forum is to get as many people involved as possible, to be as open and inclusive as possible.
So if you're into posting bigoted crap on the forums, you're gone.
If you're into trying to make large chunks of our membership feel like this is a white man's club with claims of Reverse Racism being the only Real Discrimination (TM), you're gone.
Is that straightforward enough for you?
Toque.
