ominous warnings from moderators, no matter how urbane the tone

Not once have I seen moderation based on viewpoint (and I do have showdead on). Without fail it has been because the poster repeatedly been an assclown in tone and wording, including when that moderation has been turned on myself. The fact that the moderated holds an unpopular opinion at times seems to be coincidence. There might be a correlation there, but it’s not with the moderation.



A neatly unassailable point of view.


As if you supported your complaint with solid examples. The last time the moderators smacked you on the nose, you were making inflammatory comments with absolutely nothing to back them up. Just like this time: not one example of this egregious moderation.


That is a good example you've dug up there. Thank you.

I made a statement incontrovertibly grounded in fact, but not resonating well in the present eccosphere. And was promptly flagged and gagged.

I realise this is probably a waste of everybody's time and karma-points attempting to debate.
