In this post here, @Miller who I normally consider a decent enough mod, calls me out for insulting a poster that had repeatedly lied about me denying genocide, and then directly called me a Nazi (one of the worst things in the world you can actually be called.)

This old trope of “moderation is biased against conservatives” is getting old and tired. It’s pure bullshit that has never been substantiated because it’s never happened, at least that I’ve ever seen.

First of all the post in question doesn’t seem expressive of any particular political ideology; it’s just way over-the-top vile and outrageous. Are you now claiming that because you’ve expressed conservative viewpoints in the past, the moderation staff is treating you unfairly because they just don’t like you?

Secondly, **[you yourself recognized the vileness of your innuendo in your post #236](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-is-genocide-defined-with-an-emphasis-on-cultural-genocide/944198/236)** in which you preemptively tried to make excuses for what _ **you clearly anticipated** _ would be major blowback. And now you’re trying to claim that it was a mod overreaction just because you’re conservative?
