Let me just express my disgust at this post (see bottom of this post), and the mention of my name in a forum I never post in. I do not post there because I am quite quite sure that exactly what has happened to Tiger Paw would have happened to me if I posted there. To say that no one has asked to exclude me is beyond funny- considering I never post there. If I did, I have no doubt at all my exclusion would be asked for. Anyone who says it would not be, is (imo) lying to either themselves or to me if they would post anything in the alternative.

I totally support moderator bannings, especially if the moderators admit their prejudices motivate such bannings, and the whimsical nature of such bannings, but public jury debates about designated "thread criminals" disgust me to no end. I cannot repudiate strongly enough the need of some people to mull over the fate of other posters publicly (and privately) in excruciating detail. We all are disgusted by different things, it is obviously a relative world, but having my name mentioned in the context of such nasty actions annoyed me.

I suspected he might actually be capable of it. So why doesn't he do it instead of being stupendously stupidly partisan and blind? I'm with JLA on this; I'm tired of the idiot. And to those who say "Why don't you just use ignore?", the answer is "Why do you think this was created as a moderated thread.
Let me point out something else: He is the only person JLA has pushed to have excluded, yet there are others who are more partisan: cosmic, Solon, X. He didn't push to have them bounced though- -ever."
