We need new moderators

clark, is this a personal attack or I'm just seeing things ?

I understand that sometimes debates especially in Free Chat can become very "hot", but still, there is a long way to personal offenses against other members.

I guess you should edit/delete those 3 posts yourself, or I'll take the liberty to do it if other mod doesn't do this before I login again.

I'll never understand people on the internet. Seriously.

i am less than inclined to deal with apparent and repeated bigotry in any other manner.

I apologize if I offended you, or your sensibilities.

There are a wide range of viewpoints that are often expressed here, and I support such expression. However, there are limits to what can be deemed acceptable in a group that expressly states its desire to be inclusive of all peoples. That desire cannot coexist with those who espouse bigotry based on sex, color, or creed.

To allow it is to support it, but then that is merely my opinion. Perhaps it was more offensive since I was a 'moderator', but then I never asked for such responsibility, nor see any reason to restrain myself because of it.

Tom is an idiot.

Surely a debate on this point would have been more productive than personal attack?

Lamentably, Tom's worldview doesn't seem to be unrepresentative. In fact, as far as I can tell, the US is currently ruled by people with a similar worldview.

The key is one liner BS remarks have no place anywhere. If you want to call someone an idiot use some bit of style. I mean... really... the ineptitude and unorginiality displayed in discussions on the internet is sometimes shocking.

Plus. The complainers won't open their mouths if ones insults are interwoven in delicate language.

Not fair.

I don't visit Bew Mars for one day and miss out on all the juicy fights. Happens every single time, sigh...:cry:

A personal attack? No... what I posted was not personal simply because it is outside the bounds of what any competant person reading it would assume to be true and accurate.

I can do personal attacks, but they are more time intensive, and granted, more enjoyable for the voyeurs among us, but they always leave me feeling empty and used. I shot my mouth off because I am fed up with what I perceive as an attention getting (or deeply ingrained) bigot. There are so many better ways to get attention. Whatever.

The user name Tom Kafabulus is not unique and has been banned in several locations for what is obviously a characteristic that should be apparent by now. It appears there is an association with several fantasy and other role playing groups, so this little foray into sci fi fantasy is another attempt to fill the apparent vacum in his otherwise socially meager life.

His willingness and glee in pursuing discourse that is divisive and inicendiary among this disparate group of culturaly and ethnically diverese people is an attempt to wedge himself a place and illicit responses designed to address solely himself. He is not interested in discussion nor debate- we are merely to be subjected to his own maladjusted form of narccissim. He chooses topics and then presents them in such a manner as to invoke reaction, either positive or negative, but always centered upon himself.

But I'll play nice.

As for complainers, meh. I ain't afraid of Virgina Wolf.
