Intolerant atmosphere on this site - Do you agree?

No, not at all. I was banned from this site for two years, and now I'm back. The only 'intolerance' I see is from a few members who whine and cry because they do not get their way - their duplicated posts get removed, their attempts at trolling are put down, and they are reminded that there are rules of conduct on this website that we all must follow.

Evidence, please? I mean, please provide evidence that Tallyman (or any other mod) does anything "for no reason".

I trust Moog. He's a fair-minded bloke, here and on other websites. So what if he wouldn't let you get your way?

I think you mean "Kafka-esque". Look it up.

Yes. The First Amendment - adopted on December 15, 1791 - clearly states:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Note that this "Freedom of Speech" claim you've made is irrelevant, since (1) Tallyman and Moog are not "Congress"; (2) This is a privately-owned website; (3) members of this website, by virtue of being members, agree to abide by the rules of this website; and (4) Congress does not control this website or its contents.

Deal with it.

You must have used it in a particularly creative and offensive way.

I don't bat an eyelid at most asses

TallyMan arrogant and Moog sarcastic? :lol: :roll:

Try being a mod for a while, when you're pestered constantly by some folks that have nothing better to do other than pester those that volunteer here, do long hours for free and what they get in return? Some silly threads like this one. Moderating can be harder than hard, no matter what you do or how hard you try there isn't a way to please everyone.

Both of aforementioned mods are doing a very fine job and should be given more credit than attacking them on a personal level. Ad homs are petty and childish.

Thanks Boo :)

I wouldn't mind, but I don't even do sarcasm. I'm not that sophisticated.

Your very first post on WP was a throw away attack, not even a debate: "Followers of judaism, christianity and islam are idiots."
Yep, looks like intolerance to me. Your post is still there, locked in PPR, for anyone who cares to look.
My only interaction with you up to now, other that to welcome you to WP, has been to lock your intolerant thread.

You can chose to abide by the site rules or leave the site. Your choice.

I just hate to see hardworking people being attacked over nothing.

You know what you need to do? You have two options:

1.) Suck it up and deal with it
2.) Do not post here anymore

Personal experience talking here...I chose option number one. and after reflection and a talk with a moderator about these things, I learned to laugh about it, like my sig.

First Amendment does not apply. This is a private website, and you do understand this is GLOBAL, right? Again, personal experience...

In B4 banhammer

Why do you guys feel the need to even talk to this guy? He's either a troll or he really believes this crap he's spewing. Either way, you aren't going to logic the stupid out of him.

If this is actually the case, then this member is trolling. No-one can be that stupid.

There was an NT who came back and posted his youtube video about a song he wrote for his wife and he posted it twice. Well three times actually since he posted it twice in the women's discussion or in depth )I don't remember) but I figured that was an error and he probably having internet connection problems. Then he posted it once in the general autism forum. I don't remember if they were all the same name but it was sure the same thing.


Oh and sometimes people post the same topic for more responses so they post it in another section.
