The word bigot is a contraction of the phrase "By God, I'm right". Nothing to do with projection and everything to do with hating anyone who has a different view to you. It's a very isolationist standpoint, previously used in religious arguments, but seen in other areas too.

Says vetran, passively aggressively not rising above it and thereby being sexist.
The trick is to allow for the fact that there may be more to it. Where you give the benefit of the doubt, and how much, is entirely up to you.

I used to do that, but for various reasons I don't anymore. I also won't say if there is not more to it than that.

Your assumption I am clairvoyant and omnipresent is very flattering but despite what you & my wife believe I'm not psychic or a deity.
Originally posted by vetran View PostIf I'm wrong tell me why or that its none of my business. Don't assume I know what is going on and get aggressive.
And to be fair I didn't want to be like those posters in other threads who say things like "My friend says", "My sister says" etc. with " and 10 of the other women I know with different doctors agree with them".

If that was what was happening then sorry to hear that.

Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostWhatchatalkingabout? People have been complaining about the lack of consistency for years. It's about the only thing that is consistent.
Some details of how it works.
We get a complaint. We look into it. If we feel it has merit we take action that we think is appropriate. If a number of people complain, then that obviously adds weight - but none of it is definitive. Pre-emptive action is often taken without complaints being received. Sometimes we discuss before taking action, other times not. All decisions are subjective.
And you could do no more, which is why I'm not really bothered if people think I've got it wrong. If enough people do, and they're people whose judgement I've come to respect, then it will be taken on board. That's why, unlike some places, we do allow moderation decisions to be discussed. And as for the insults - I think some people confuse me with someone who gives a damn.

I can't believe there's so much bed wetting taking place on behalf of a pimp. He should be banned periodically just for that.

The moderators don't have to and as part of their job is being discrete they aren't allowed to.

Seems very heavy-handed for the offence.
If it's because he's a pimp, fair enough. Please don't use that as your only get-out now I've suggested it though.
