I Pit Split_p_j

I’m sorry about that, I go too far sometimes. I didn’t realize our age was that close, but alot changed in the '80’s.

I like a different preceptive on the times as I was just a kid.

Big deal. I just turned 50. I am somewhere toward the younger end of the age range here. 53?

No, you are at most in the middle of the age range here.

Wait what is happening?

You are abou to get banned for violating a topic ban.

That is what is happening.

no I’m just talking, I didn’t see all that.

no I’ve been here for like 20 years, posting active for like 15

I’m not a troll; I stopped posting in that thread when I saw the mod note

If I’m going to be banned, all I will say is good luck.

How long you have been a member or posting is not relevant. You violated a topic ban. You will almost certainly be banned.

Did any one say you were a troll? The generl consensus is that you are a mentally unstable moron- but that you genuinely believe what you post.

What’s all this? Where did he violate a topic ban? Please flag and I’ll review.

It looks like it was here:

Some are contending that he violated his topic ban. I handled the flags.

He referenced 9/11 lies as a basis for why American citizens no longer trust their government, but he did not assert conspiracy theories, only that lies had been told about 9/11 – which is true. He did not say what lies, and if he had referred to an “inside job,” I’d have taken further action. He didn’t.

Others latched on to the fact that he’d uttered the words, “9/11,” and assumed he was referring to the “inside job” conspiracy. By then, the discussion had been hijacked into a discussion about 9/11. That’s what I moderated for.

You can take further action if you believe it is warranted, but I did not feel that was the case in this instance.

Here’s the underlying thread, for your review.

I sent you a PM on this. I don’t want to review in a Pit thread.

The quote above your post contains the statement

This strongly suggests that he’s asserting that PNAC planned 9/11.

ETA: in that post he goes on to assert that the official story of 9/11 was a lie.

I’m guessing that this clears up what happened to the hamsters when the capybaras replaced them?
The hamsters have been put to work on the rope making machine.

I referenced all the recent moderation but as stated later in this thread, he was vague enough that it wasn’t clear that he was violating anything, and I understood the reasoning and thought the judgement was fair.

Sorry, kiddo, but from what I can understand of this largely incoherent post, the answer is yes.

Understandable. I guess the recent news (brand-new warning and 30 days suspension) is the -flip- side of the mods (generally quite fair) knowledge of poster’s histories. Long term posters get a lot of rope, but they also get judged on long ongoing trends.

I suspect the judgement was also a compromise, because reading through the post it was just vague enough that one could, if one wanted, give said poster the benefit of the doubt. So they get a DrDeth style “this is your last chance” long term suspension and not a perma-ban, although that was mentioned as the next step if it happened again.

NOTE - I am NOT disputing the moderation, just think it was reasonably well balanced and nuanced. :slight_smile:

Is @Miller going to close the thread until the suspension is over? He’s done it before for long-term suspensions.

Thanks for the reminder. Thread closed until further notice.
