did i say it was all blame on you........ no.

i said you helping/giving in to the "In Crowd"

i bet they starting bitching and moaning until they or you dug up some kind of bullchit way you could try and ban her.

it's pretty transparent


pressure from the same group that created the bullchit reason for the D.C. forum to get moved off the front page even though it has more traffic.



i noticed your empty "take this Mod job, i don't want" thread disappeared like a fart on the wind. ROFL

I've been a mod here for 7 years and I've been involved in a HANDFUL of these types of issues.

It also seems like you're the "habitual line stepper" that's ALWAYS THE ONLY MOD involved in these types of things. See the trend (almighty one)?

why you just go ahead a say "ban all the liberals" and get done with it.


at least be honest about it

There's nothing transparent about it. You're attaching a motive that simply doesn't exist.

As for the Mod job, I'm working on it right now. Once again, you demonstrate only ignorance. There's no "switch" to turn off mod/not mod status...

I don’t disagree.

I am not defending Denise's actions but some of the things that are said to her IMHO are way over the line. I think someone calling her a terrorist or wishing their kids dead is crossing the line. Maybe you don't but I do.

Ringleader was the very definition of a troll. The guy almost never posted in the Lounge.

[QUOTE=wutamess]That's blatantly and utterly false.

Only 2 of the current 4 mods have tenure. 2 of them have been mods for less than 2 years, and one of them really isn't involved in being a mod, they're involved in keeping the site running.

Your comments are ignorant and have no basis in fact.

But you don't have to worry about it. I'm in the process of removing my mod status.

I love how Parker's the bad guy when he's the one who found a way to justify Denise staying.

Take off the squabble goggles for a second and you'll realize what I'm talking about.

It was in the original ban Denise thread.

And, no, it's not your fault she didn't report it. But you're aware of it now. That's not cool.

I don't blame you.

Parker I think you do a fine job so please don't step down.

You're the second person to see it for what it is.

DENISE was actually the first. How ironic.

My point is that a lot of the people who are bitching about her "tactics" are really just bitching about her message. They are using the "troll policy" as cover. What's funny is that some of them actually believe it.

I don't know all the specifics of who you've banned in the past, but in my view I've never seen her cross the line any more than some of the other regulars around here. Like I said, maybe she's done something in the past few days that truly goes beyond the pale (I'm not on the board 12 hours a day like some people), but in my experience around here the only people that cross the line are those that heap god-awful abuse on her no matter what she does. Even when she does post on a noncontroversial topic you usually get a few trolls who jump on and start saying things to her that they'd never say to her face.

I don't know why she's stayed as long as she has. I would have written off some of the worst abusers as insufferable bullies and left a long time ago.

Like I said before, the forum owners and/or mods can do what they want. But don't be so naive to think that the primary motivation here is that Denise somehow fell below some magical "football post ratio".

banning DEnise should of never been as issue

she's not even remotely "troll"


this is strictly about people who can't stand her political beliefs forming a lynch mod to try and get her booted.


the same group that got D.C. moved off the front page

dense has crossed the line, and will do it again.
