In a previous discussion here a moderator stated lies and created fraudulent charges against me to censor my thread to this section of the forums. My question is why are the moderators here biased an intellectually dishonest? ---

Obviously a conspiracy against you. The only question is how high it goes. Does Ed Zotti know? Is he in on it? Conspiring Minds want to know. ---

> [@Mince](#): > > This thread might go better for you if you provide a link to the thread at issue and elucidate the offending behavior. It appears that part of it is that he’s interpreting “moving a thread” as “censorship.” Considering that you can actually be even more free to insult a fellow debater in the Pit, I’m not entirely sure why this put his undies in a wad. ---

My question is why are the moderators here biased an intellectually dishonest? I’d recommend spending some time learning the culture here. From your post, you’re either a pissed off sockpuppet or you’re a newsless naïf. If you’d spent time learning about the board, you’d be neither. ---
