Wasn't maximus just banned?
If so it wasn't by me.
He was banned. Please see post #4 for example. https://csnbbs.com/thread-1022591.html
He was banned, by me, for repeated posts that did not address the OP but only verbally assaulted other posters, and that after many verbal warnings and a time out issued by me for other offenses. Then he had a post in which he challenged moderators to ban liberal posters, "or else". Discussing any moderation in public is a violation of the AUP you agreed to in order to post here. Threatening mods to ban political adversaries is out of bounds, but the clincher is when he started a thread solely to abuse another poster who he named in the thread title and OP. That's way the hell out of bounds.
Sure you can find posts where he didn't do anything to be warned or banned and wasn't warned or banned for them.
I unapproved the thread which means you and the visitors can't see it, but all moderators and administrators can.
This is a discussion forum which unfortunately sometimes doubles as a smack room (which it shouldn't).
If you don't contribute something to the discussion here and only offer vile insults, then you should expect me to ban you regardless of your politics. I'm conservative and most of you know it. Any conservative that resorts to vile threats or vile personal attacks discredits the meaning of being a conservative. Frankly that's the same for liberals. Politics is supposed to be a debate about what is best for all of us. That process has been hijacked by corporate forces who thrive while we are distracted attacking each other instead of discussing how to compromise for what is best for all. And if they also claim to be Christian it doesn't help support that profession of faith either, now does it?
When each side constantly takes their media talking points about the other as Gospel, then this will only end in acrimony. There are intentional biases sewn into each.
Right now, the only thing we have in common are the skanks from both sides caught up in the Epstein fallout.
If the only thing you have to offer is a personal attack, then we don't need you. To try to compromise on that position we have tolerated barbs tossed at other posters if the post contained actual discussion of the OP's content.
Now I don't normally answer publicly for moderation decisions, but you got my reasons and it wasn't MLB or JD or anyone else you might think partisan who banned him. And if what he had done had not been preceded by many warnings from me and others and previous timeout, he would have gotten a stiff warning but not been banned.
Capice?
