Dunno about that because you’re substituting words and changing the statements meaning. And it wasn’t ‘perceived’ misconduct, it was straight up misconduct by the fed.

> [@septimus](#): > > Is it a pejorative to say someone is not a “moderate”? To the contrary I think some would consider “moderation” to be the insult.

You betcha! > > So, someone seeking to lead the other thread toward a conclusion offered that HD was a “moderate.” Without casting any explicit judgement myself, I posted a HD quote and wondered if this would change the assessment. _ **And for this I get Noted?** _ (I thank **Bone** for making it a Note rather than Warning. As I said, I’m at 85 and counting. Next Warning I’m gone. Consider this my “Goodbye” to you all, since I don’t think BANNED Dopers are allowed any valediction.) > > Oh!

It’s true that I think he’s made it very clear he has racist beliefs, perhaps subconscious ones, and I like to remind folks of that (as well as giving him the opportunity to improve himself) when he takes part in discussions about race, but in general I think he’s an actual contributor to this board (unlike, say, HD).
