I asked if the comment was aimed at me, and you then asked directly. I take offense to that, because not only am I not, but your implying autism is some form of stupidity, it isn't. An autistic person would find this offensive the same way they would if you called them a retard. The fact you find it so hilarious makes the entire thing worse. Your a disgusting human being.

I'd like both of you banned.

Quote from: Rushy on September 22, 2013, 03:27:27 PM

You're pretending people are making accusations and then being offended by your pretend accusations. I mean, that's hilarious, but pretty sad.

I don't see any big words in this post, I'm not sure how you didn't understand what was being said.

The only pretending going on here is you pretending that there is nothing wrong with what you or SCG said. I concur, you're awful.

Do you expect people that are here to love TFES? There is a debate section. This implies an expectation that people are here who disagree with TFES. Do you think making childish remarks about a disease like autism is OK?

Are you autistic as well?  There is a debate section, yet you want to debate everywhere.  If you are autistic, we will make special accommodations for you.  Just let us know what your special needs are. 

You don't have to believe in the flatness to love the forum, or make friends, or respect our humble little internet home.

And yes, I think making jokes is OK.

Welcome to the FES, where the mods are terrible and perma noobs are worse.

Now, let's get this back on topic.

The topic is bias moderation towards FE'er. The entirety of whats just been said and your behavior throughout is an example of that.

You don't have to believe in the flatness to love the forum, or make friends, or respect our humble little internet home.

And yes, I think making jokes is OK.

Making jokes about autism is not OK. If you said something like this in the work place you'd be disciplined and even fired.

Oh I'm perfectly on topic. The topic is moderation, or lack thereof. You've shown how bad it is in this very thread, ignoring terrible comments by your own and then joining in on the fun.

See, that's the problem. You seem to think it's an us vs them issue, but I guarantee that if I posted crap in a debate thread jroa or some other mod would tell me to knock it off, and if I kept it up I'd get bammed, just like you would.

It seems to me that there is plenty of moderation now. It just so happens that you were the one being a naughty rule-breaker in the upper forums all along and now you're all "waaaah!" when the mods tell you to stop.

I moderate and try to not break the rules.  When I tell a noob that he is posting in a low content way, I get jumped by every noob here. 

Don't break the rules.  That is what I am saying.

If you want to puke all over the webs and nets, do it in either  CN or AR.

Don't be a d*ck.

The irony of all your responses. Lol. Whatever.

Responding to a personal attack is hardly being a jackass.

Being a jackass is being a jackass.  So is stirring up trouble. 

Please do not do either.

And referring to me and danger as autistic is you trying to not stir things up. Just stop, you and your circle of flatees may think you are right but I see right through your bs.

Being a jackass is being a jackass.  So is stirring up trouble. 

Please do not do either.

I started asking direct but nonetheless valid questions. Just because they are difficult to answer does not mean they are intended to stir up trouble, more to ask you to consider a different point of view, in order to perhaps make you accept mine or find facts that might reinforce your own. Just because I pursue answers with vigor and back up my own with strong evidence does not mean I am stirring up trouble, it means I make a strong challenge to the the flat earth system, one that you should accept and try to answer with credible facts for your own well being. The only jackasses here are those making jokes about autism.

For what good its worth I've reported all three of you.

I have been civil up until this point.  However, I am sick and tired of you noobs acting like you are entitled to something. 

You come here, spewing RET into the threads, and get butt hurt when you post low content posts and we ask you to stop.  Seriously, what the heck is wrong with you people?

I hope you lose your status jroa. You and Junker are the worst mods I've seen on any forum, ever. You're disrespectful of my beliefs, intellectually dishonest, offensive and bias. Stop trying to turn this into something as trivial as low content posts. You and your buddies have made it about much more than that.

I said this earlier on this point.

Unfortunately when you have a website purveying such radical believes you will attract opposition or """"perma noobs""" as you like to call them. If you care so much about this idea, you must be able to put up with this and defend your case politely with proven facts and credible sources, if nothing else than for your own good.

By just accepting these sources, Rowbotham, etc,  and not checking them yourself or reading about their credibility, your being just as narrow minded and naive as you claim RE'ers are.

You are a d*ck.  If I lose my status, I want it to be for a good reason, not because I gave a little warning that everyone is crying about.

And, yes.  Go back to the beginning.  I gave a warning to someone who admits that his post was low content.  I got an apology from him.  Now, you people have side tracked this, and are making false accusations about the mods.

You can't even admit to what I am saying I am offended about. You still think this is about low content posting. I sure hope that whoever is in charge of you isn't biased as well.

Actually we're now making a genuine accusation about you. Why were you letting them get away with casually joking about autism and using it to imply I'm stupid. I've not seen any other moderator letting something like this slide.

At the start of the thread I was trying to say that there are a lot of low content posts from both sides. But most of the time they only seem to get flagged when being made by an RE'er.

Well, are you?

Could be described under your rules as a low content post. No warning for him, and thats beside the fact its offensive.

rottingroom, please lay out your accusations in a clear, precise sentence or two.  I know you think I am a bad mod because I have given you a warning in the past, but please, lay out your argument.  I really want to hear it.

I've not seen any other moderator

That is the problem.

I just got a warning from Junker for this comment:

"Comprehension, aka some basic reading skills would help you a lot."

Yet in this thread, 3 people have said me or danger are autistic without hearing a thing. I've had EJ constantly call me a moron, and a fucking idiot. Aevan has called me numerous things in the past.

This just keeps getting more and more ironic. It is conclusively true that this forum is a biased sham.

Could be described under your rules as a low content post. No warning for him, and thats beside the fact its offensive.

Asking you a question is not low content. See, this is why you're running into trouble up here. You have very poor judgement about everyone and seem to be expectant of everyone here to tolerate your behavior. It seems like so many people disliking your behavior would be indicative of a necessary change to it. Instead you just start shooting off insults and then get even angrier when the one mod here let's you know that it's not acceptable to do that. Quite frankly I think this forum owes you nothing less than a boot up your ass, but I suppose that's why jroa's the mod here, not me.

I am sincerely trying not to be disrespectful here.  However, I can not refrain from pointing out that arguing that you are not stupid, while failing to show that you know how a question mark works, seems rather ironic.  Not in the way that rottingroom thinks ironic means, but in the real way.  Seriously, I am really not trying to make you look stupid.

Pyrolizard, please remember the low content rules.  Thanks, have a great day!

Not to say that I'm upset about it, I could have been more elaborate in my questioning and Jroa certainly could have been much less polite about it, but it is just a question asked.  Two questions, even, that's more than you put in.

Correction, so many FE people here disliking my behavior. What they don't like is that I challenge their beliefs, I ask polite questions with examples. I challenge my own beliefs by choice as much as possible to make sure I'm happy with them. In the couple of months I've been on this forum I've happily reinforced my belief that the earth is round and NASA aren't lying about what they do. 

When someone challenges my beliefs, I do not shout and scream at them and call them stupid. The only person I've lost my temper with on here is you, I've found other peoples posts to be annoying but I've been civil to them because they haven't been overly offensive.

One of Rowbotham's followers sent death threats to someone who challenged his theories. It just about sums you up really.

"Don't hate me because I'm beautiful." Really? That is really the best logical reason you could come up with? People don't like you because you're just so correct all the time? No, we don't like you because you have the social aptitude of a doorknob. I've tried my best to explain that to you in plain, simple words. It's why the question of whether or not you are autistic came up, because, and I'm being completely serious, not being able to see even text-based social cues is a common symptom of autism. A lot of adults go through life not knowing they have it, so you might need to see a proper physician and get yourself checked.
