[This thread.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=699390) Bullshit moderating by Twickster. It’s a thread about Hanoi Jane Fonda. Prior board precedent allows negative comments about non-posters. Cite to any rules violated, please. ---

I dunno, and I’m not a mod so take this with a grain of salt, but it seems like you GD’d a GQ, so to speak. Even though the thread was in Cafe Society, it really was a general question . . .what did Henry Fonda think about her actions? And you, along with Dmark, sort of tried to turn it into a debate about the appropriateness of her actions, not her father’s attitude towards them. ---

My comment was clearly about what her father’s opinion should be, which is within the topic of the OP. Twickster inappropriately intervened because I skewered a liberal icon she probably likes. Note that she said nothing to **Dmark** , who praised Hanoi Jane. ---

Sorry, **Oak**. **twicks** got this one right. Your opinion of Jane is irrelevant to the thread. Your post: \*He should have disowned her. Still should. Hanoi Jane can never be forgiven. \* This has nothing to do with Henry’s opinion and everything to do with yours. I happen to agree with said opinion, but that is also irrelevant to the thread in question. ---

> [@Smeghead](#): > > Nope. The topic was what his opinion actually WAS - a factual question. Your personal opinion of what it should be is irrelevant and off topic. It’s not GQ, and my comment is generally related to the topic. “On Topic” has never been construed so strictly. And **Dmark** ’s post is basically a long-winded flip side of mine, yet it drew no mod intervention. ---

> [@Nzinga\_Seated](#): > > But he \*doesn’t \*think that should have been modded. He doesn’t think his own post should have been modded either, is all. True, but he seems very invested on why DMark’s wasn’t modded, and seems to be drawing some conclusion or taking umbrage based on the lack of modding. Reporting his post and asking the question would get directly to the point. Likely Twix hadn’t seen it, so that would draw her attention and she could mod it (or not). ---

Everybody knows why \*\*Dmark’\*\*s post wasn’t modded. Liberals don’t get censored for nitpicky nonsense, especially not by Twickster. A report would have either been ignored, or given her an excuse to send me a private snark-o-gram. ---

**twix** gave your post a mod note at 10:22 PM EDT. She hasn’t been back on the board since 10:25 PM EDT. I’d suggest sending her a PM or report **DMark’s** post. Or sulk. Your choice. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/really-twickster/666183.md?page=2)
