Problems with Jamaica and reggae music are "off topic" in a thread complaining about Bob Marley

[Marley23]

@BigT

We have the main thread, but a link to the thread (or just one of them if there are many) about Obama would be helpful and relevant. Marley’s claim is that his previous posts made this one elevate to a Warning instead of a mod note, and the OP himself agrees that these posts are relevant.

A couple of older examples:

Condescending Robot, back off. In pretty nearly every post you use insulting language to describe the arguments with which you disagree. Once or twice might be simple emotional expression, but you are tap-dancing very close to making your views into personal attacks.

Take a deep breath and reduce the number of pejorative adjectives that you seem to feel compelled to launch.

@tomndebb

Qin Shi Huangdi and Condescending Robot, take your unsupported attacks against black churches to a new thread, (where I would hope you would provide support for your beliefs). You are both off topic and simply using the presence of this thread as an excuse to vent your prejudices.

What Condescending Robot is really upset about is this thread. He exhibits the same kind of behavior described above (and was not modded for it) and followed it up by insulting me in this post (which I ignored and reported) and then doing it again in this post. After the second time, I warned him myself. I realize it’s preferable to leave that kind of thing to another mod, but I don’t think there’s any legitimate complaint about bias when you break the rules in such a straightforward way:

@Condescending_Robot

My argument is that murdering children is bad, giving unlimited power to the President as long as he says the magic word “terrorism” is bad, and that your support of this makes you morally bankrupt. Your argument is a recycled Rudy Giuliani talking point where your answer to anything is NINELEVENINELEVENINELEVEN.

@Condescending_Robot

A total lack of empathy and a genuine confusion as to why people might find bombing ambulances or funerals to be evil is a sign of sociopathy. You need a psychiatrist, not a message board.
