The moderator Colibri has a personal vendetta against me becasue I disagreed with something he said on a random thread, and is closing my threads for no reason and harassing me. He has now given me 2 warnings for no reason and is breaking the rules of this forum as you can see here does betadine (iodine) kill mold - Factual Questions - Straight Dope Message Board cursing at me and insulting me.
You’re posting completely false medical information in GQ threads. His calling what you posted “bullshit” is hardly cursing at you. (I think it’s an insult to cow dung, however.)
If I posted bullshit towards someone said I would get a warning, it violates the forum rules. And nothing I posted was "false medical information ". What exactly was false?
You can’t call another poster a bullshitter. You can call the content of their posts bullshit.
You were not cursed at, and you were not insulted. The content you posted was called bullshit. That a totally different thing. It’s the characterization of the content, not the poster. I don’t know what Colibri has instructed you to do, or not to do, in the past, so I can not judge if you are violating that.
Your take on what causes antibiotic resistance as an example.
This post where you said alcohol can kill germs in wounds without any harm other than a little stinging, totally contradicting two nurses who told you otherwise, and also claiming it’s less drying than soap and water. Not to mention suggesting using hydrogen peroxide, which is also damaging to wounds and not a cleansing agent.
And this post, where you said neuropathy isn’t a big deal and patients will usually be told to suck it up.
I posted my opinion bases on the facts that I have read, which is my right. Hardly “completely false medical information” What your saying is irreverent anyways because I was never warned against posting “completely false medical information” and is a red herring towards the real issue here.
GQ is not for opinions.
GQ is for factual answers, not opinions. After having several of your statements shot down within minutes, you might want to reconsider the sources of your information.
matt357, thank you for your instructions on the rules of General Questions. As others have noted, I neither cursed you nor insulted you personally. It is not against the rules to criticize the content of someone’s post in GQ.
In the short time you’ve been here, you’ve developed a very unfortunate habit of posting questions in General Questions, and then engaging in pointless argument with knowledgeable posters based on nothing more than your own ignorance of the subject. General Questions is for the purpose of obtaining factual information. I consider your persistent behavior to be an abuse of the purpose of the forum.
You were originally given instructions to stop this behavior here
I reiterated my instructions to you in this post:
[QUOTE=Colibri]
Moderator Warning
matt357, insults are not permitted in General Questions. You also have been instructed to not keep bumping your own threads with non-factual information. This is an official warning. Do not do this again.
[/QUOTE]
I have also explained to you in several e-mails what you are doing wrong, and told you to knock it off. You seem determined to continue it. This is not advisable.
You said I “didn’t know what I was talking about” said what I posted was “bullshit” and you “neither cursed you nor insulted you” I don’t think so. If I had said those things to somebody I would have been banned. In your emails to me you also said I was “ridiculously stupid” and “ignorant”
All of your replies in this thread were incorrect, even when the correct information was in the link in your own OP. Why do you do that?
You’re doing it again.
This post says a lot about where he gets his info from.
No you wouldn’t, because as I pointed out those remarks were not against the rules.
This is flatly untrue. Since you have chosen to bring it up, here is the text of my email to you:
I did not say that you were stupid and ignorant, only that your post was. And that’s unequivocally the case.
matt357, this site places a high value on backing up your opinions with facts. That’s especially true in General Questions. From what I’ve seen, when people on the facts your response has mostly been “nuh uh.” And since you ignored Colibri’s instructions several times, I think describing your assertions as “bullshit” was mild.
Ever since I suggested that there might be a genetic link to people of aztec descent and violence in this thread Aztec human sacrifice - Factual Questions - Straight Dope Message Board he has engaged in a vendetta against me. I suspect he might be of aztec descent and was offended by my comment. Someone who is so emotional and is going to abuse their powers should not be a mod.

No you wouldn’t, because as I pointed out those remarks were not against the rules.
So saying that is not against the rules but me asking if someone was 12 was a “personal attack”. What you have been saying and doing to me is a blatant personal attack. You have been giving me repeated warning for not breaking any rules trying to get me banned., insulting me, cursing at me, and closing almost any thread I open. You should have you mod revoked.
That’s the Straight Dope for ya!
