If you are not part of the "in clique", you are not allowed to flame people without fear of being banned. But as long as you are "in", you have no worries and can do as you please.
big difference. BOS interrupts other's threads...he didn't just stay in his own room.....BOS would interrupt an intelligent conversation with hate and defamation.
Just because YOU believe they had it coming does not make it excuseable. Look, I think flaming is fine. Hell I have been labeled one of the biggest assholes on this board. So you know I do not give a shit one way or the other.
But for certain people to be exempt from punishment and others being banned for any little thing is completely wrong.
Don't be stupid...you can flame whoever and whatever you want. Look how long it took BOS to finally get banned. There may be cliques around here but that has nothing to do with probability of getting banned.
Take it up with george people. If you feel so strongly, why would you want to post on a board that is so unjust. If I hated the way this board was run...I'd leave!
Strongchick posts threads to evoke thought and controversy in an adult manner. She doesn't go outright spitting profanities, targeting one's beliefs and attacking like a pit bull. There's a big difference that even a 5 year old can see.
I am curious to know what the process of banning is.
Is some kinda tribunal conducted by the moderators? Is it on the basis of complaints? Is the person given warnings first? I really do not understand why some conspicuosly hateful posters remain while others are banned. I'm just curious.
In the meantime....It's quite a stretch to compare BOS's ad hominem attacks to Strongchick's provocative posts about ideas and political matters. Asking if the race of an apparent traitor partly explains the tolerance with which he's being treated is a far cry from calling someone racial epithets.

The same could be said for your "sandwich" comment in the gun thread.
Another example would be people bringing up karma in threads that have zero to do with karma. From then on it becomes nothing more then people exchanging karma for no apparent reason. You want to talk about that bullshit, well put in your own thread.
