Why do the moonbats bother?

What does that have to do with you violating 2 of the rules you love to report?

If I was as bad as you claim, I'd ban you for it.

BTW, I get forwarded helpdesk things that have to do with the forums. :cool2:

Ok, raphjd, we get it. In the Orwellian world that is gaytor.rent, Politics & Debate, you were forwarded some material from the HelpDesk that was unfavorable to you. And with your cute little sunglasses emoji, you're telling us that behind those shades, you're the closest thing to the site's omniscient Oracle, and you're taking names.

Fine. Enjoy.

As for the initial post of this thread, it was a mini-rant which contained zero content for political debate and thus, was off-topic. It did, however, do some empty bragging, and included a third-grade taunt in the headline and again, in the text. For these reasons, I found no empirical evidence in the post to support that "functioning brain" claim.

Ok, I'll just let people think they can be sneaky and shop for staff to do their bidding.

And yet, we have a moderator that has allowed this original thread post – completely devoid of political content but full of taunting -- to continue, as if it merited a place here.

So yes, I can completely understand why a GT member would be looking to find another administrator for arbitration of an issue here in Politics & Debate.

This thread does not meet criteria and it needs to go. Lock it up, I say! Lock it up!

Agreed, this post belongs in the "Rants & Raves" board.

Everyone is out of line. You're all embarrassing. I'm embarrsing. This forum is embarrassing. It's just pathetic really. The Dems and Repubs' days are numbered, they are both so ridiculous that they can't possibly exist another 50 years in this state of stupidity.

You're not embarrassing, wrestling82, you are just enjoying a bit of a rant. And who could blame you, as this thread is well-suited. In fact, it began with an insult headline, followed by content that completely lacked a topic for real political debate.

And somehow, this thread is allowed to remain here, rather than be locked or transferred to Rants and Raves.

Why is this so? Could the administrator explain how a thread that was born for bragging on the "correcting of moonbats" meets the threshold for political discussion?

Truly, the standards need to be raised here, or our conversations will lose whatever integrity is left.

No sure if you've noticed. But, the leftists on this board don't typically start their posts with insults or use insults toward their political opponents.

Is this some sort of sick joke? Leftists on this board dish out the insults every bit as much as Frederick does, including you in this very thread. Don't be a hypocrite.

I don't consider calling a piece of crap "shit" an insult. If I were to make up a word.. such as "Wagdoodle" and apply it to posters such as Sutieday and DrWas, they would consider "Wagdoodle" to be an insult. On the other hand.. any label they made up to apply to me would be a compliment! If they started calling me a "Wagdoodle", then "Wagdoodle" would be elevated to the status of being a positive compliment.

"Shit" is an insult because excrement is unpleasant, not because of the sentiment behind using it Stick to wagadoodle. It is much more entertaining.
