> [@Huey\_Freeman](#): > > The first of the list is true, especially the latter. To the second point, I know where this will lead: I’m not gonna engage in whataboutism. I’m not going to wander in the dark forests of equivocation. I only did it because a poster asked. Now, he wants me to do it some more (and then again and again and again). I said my peace, you said yours. Nothing will change. I heard you, and I hope you heard me. This was from the OP (my italics in each of the quotes below): > [@Huey\_Freeman](#): > > I’m not going to engage in whataboutism but I will say that _the search record shows quite a few posters calling other posters cowards (outright)_. No warnings were issued. Again, I won’t engage (unless you want me to bring up the posts) but I will just say that you guys should make sure that the\*\* rules are consistently followed and applied\*\*. This was posted in the thread in question: > [@How much has the Republican party changed?...](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-much-has-the-republican-party-changed/817944/109): > > A cursory search shows that others can outright call another poster a coward and it’s not a problem. > > You should check this post to moderate. > > \*There’s a shit ton more of that on the search engine. \* I would quote more but I have to go to work. It would be nice if everyone was treated equally on the SDMB. Initially you were willing to bring up evidence to support your claim of inconsistency, but now you are demurring. That’s fine as this is the appropriate forum for complaints. If however, you wish to have that discussion, feel free to engage at your leisure. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/no-bone-to-pick/818466)._
