Too little following of the rules of debate. Name calling, red herrings, ad hom attacks, logical fallacies, etc. I used to try to stick to and enforce the rules of debate when I was a mod. Then I was told not to...

Being told not to just meant handing the keys of the asylum to the inmates.

Rather apt, that is.

Apparently, libs can create entire posts of insults directed at other members, using vulgar language and slander, but I can't call the village idiot, the village idiot. Even though I'm not even naming the individual. It's such common knowledge that he's the village idiot, even the ridiculously biased mod knows who I'm referring to.

It's exactly why you don't want libs in positions of authority, they always abuse it in the name of their hair-brained mindset. Vapid, horrible individuals who can justify anything as long as it's "for the cause".

Nope. The people in charge of this site are either not paying attention, or know absolutely nothing about business.

I don't think this site is for business. They probably just need enough ad revenue to keep the site running.

Edit: because otherwise they are driving away potential customers for the ads.

They don't like it when you share PMs.

Even though all it showed was the reason they banned you.

It is what it i tho. Just post and don't respond to trolls.
