Re: HTML Comments are not allowed
I spent a considerable time last night composing a response to ClubMans posting, only to see it deleted.
ClubMan claims it was deleted by 'the machine' and not him.
Whatever.
If you don't believe me then so be it. The HTML comments not allowed issue is a well known and annoying feature (I'd call it a bug) on ezBoard. If you still insist on believing that I (or any other moderator) would resort to censoring somebody simply because they disagree with or challenge me and/or would use an ezBoard bug as some sort of subterfuge to deny responsibility then, as you say, WHATEVER! :\
ClubMan is a "MODERATOR" on this Bulletin Board. He regularly edits and deletes threads, deletes comments, and locks discussions. Indeed he has just deleted a posting by GeeGee, inserted his excuse, and locked the discussion.
ClubMan is vehement in asserting his god given RIGHT to access the vilest pornography because "...why should any individual or group decide what content other grown adults should be allowed access?" and yet he registers absolutely no contradiction in his position when he chooses to CENSOR what I write or what YOU can read.
This is simply not true but there is obviously no point in attempting to reason with you. Neither did I delete any post by geegee and/or lock the topic in question (please link to the locked topic in question if you think otherwise). Last night I did post an explanation for geegee about how one of his/her posts was quarantined by another modetator for review because the topic to which it referred had been previously locked. Otherwise I had no involvement in this matter but just posted the explanation out of courtesy to geegee and any other readers who might have been confused.
While you may insist on attempting to blacken my name in some way I trust that most reasonable contributors - including those who strongly disagree me on various topics or who have engaged in vigorous debates with me - will draw their own conclusions about my bona fides as a contributor and moderator/administrator from my track record on AAM to date. I trust that they can also draw their own conclusions from your track record and your inimitable debating "style".
In other words, his convictions on 'freedom of content' only apply when and where, and to whom he chooses.
Specifically, he is the arbiter of our viewing.
No - I am merely expressing my opinion on the matter. I have no direct control over what people choose to view.

Once again - if you can't play by the rules you should probably desist from posting at all.

Ultimately I enjoy lively discussion/debate on most topics but it's unfortunate that a minority of contributors, even if they have strong views contrary to others, cannot concentrate on reasoned discussion of the substantive matters in hand and instead resort to insults and false accusations often to deflect from the fact that their arguments are untenable or based on misrepresentations of others' opinions. Maybe I should stick to the "above the line" forums from now on... :\
