I'd argue that differing opinions are a whole different beast than naked bigotry, but hey, you're the mod.

I just don't think PSU-style shitposting is appropriate for a forum dedicated to serious discussion.

Bigotry isn't exactly against the rules unless it's directed at another member.

Nor do I but hey I don't make the rules, only enforce em.

Fair enough.

You're a much more professional mod than I would be in your position. Be proud of that.

edit: also ^lol @ demonic's post

But then where would we be if we disallowed controversial topics like this one? While I do get the vibe that PSU is deliberately trying to piss people off with her opinions, this is one of those nation-wide news stories that has a lot of people split.

In any case, forcing this person to serve her sentence without treatment seems a bit cruel and unusual, in my opinion.

Controversial opinions are fine, but posts made for the specific purpose of antagonizing people shouldn't be tolerated, IMO. All it does is drive down the level of discourse and derail otherwise quality threads.

Oops, my bad . Didn't mean to misgender you.

All good. No problem.

If we take a very strict approach to that issue then it has the potential to cause problems for people who may not have been acting very seriously and it leaves much less room for 'joshing' other members. I dig lax moderation and a less uptight board.

Some kid can make a joke and a mod could potentially take offense and give him the boot. Then you get people complaining about harsh rules etc. and so much more shit for mods to have to take care of.

and yet, that's precisely what you did here.

Not at all. I posted my opinions and you attacked me.

what you posted wasn't an opinion. It was blatant ignorance and bigotry on the subject.

Yes but the way you presented it was like waving a red flag to a bull.

I have been following this for a year and my thoughts are that the US military is fucking retarded.

I think its just disgusting.
