#1 Regarding Freedom of Speech and intolerance, yesterday I entered a comment regarding the judgement of one or two of the newer mods and the comment was heavily censored undoubtably by the party in question.

Question: Is the new policy here that no mod can be questioned or critiqued is no longer allowed? If so, how disgraceful and the site has lost its way, and is way over due for house cleaning.

#2 "Chief Justice John Roberts, a conservative, joined the court's four liberal justices in refusing the church's request without explanation. The majority did not elaborate on their decision."

Why, tough to defend your decision? Sickening.

#3 Wow, if not from an anon user this might be worth some discussion.

#4 Are you that anonymous commenter who only seems to come here to complain about the moderators, Ebbomoger Speaking for Boskone4589? I’m afraid that, in the interest of not having long, boring discussions every time, we accept that our moderators are imperfect — nonetheless, like sports referees their calls are final, even when it could be argued that they were wrong.

But note that we hold ourselves to the same standard of behaviour — we’ve each at some point found it necessary, on reflection, to spam cop or delete one of our own comments as crossing the line.

That said, if you are willing to add your judgement to ours, please poke your head into the O Club and drop me a note with your contact information — goodness knows we could use help collecting articles from some of the regions that haven’t been getting proper attention recently, and I’ll be happy to start your training.

#6 Know your place.(#5) (What is my place???)

Are you that anonymous commenter who only seems to come here to complain about the moderators(#4) After informative comments were censored for no reason, there was no longer a logical reason to reason.

#7  Being ruled over includes not being owed an explanation. Know your place.

Fuck that shit, Rex Mundi. I explained above. and have done so before. You know me and all the other moderators — we were all here as commenters for years before Fred asked us to become moderators. You want to be a moderator? Just say — we’ll happily make use of you, and divide the workload.

Hopefully in regard to SCOTUS not explaining their decision?

I don’t think we’ve had any in Portuguese, either Portugal or Brazil, but if, while we wait, you could feed us War on Terror articles in English from those countries, that would be marvelous. We’ve been neglecting Europe since I had to give it up the round-ups as too much.

Oh. It sounds like I misinterpreted Rex Mundi’s target, and owe him an apology for snapping at him. Thank you for pointing that out, gorb.

#13 Hopefully I'm right. I'd hate to see Rex with one end of a periwinkle wand sticking out of each ear. :-)

#16 Even though Roberts is a Grade A scoundrel, that four other justices think the same is really something else.

#17 Should Trump win, the next supreme court nomination process, after RBG books her River Styx cruise, will make Kavanaugh's look like a Sunday social.

Shit like that's happened to me over the years; the rational sort would ask the following question first - did I just post something that makes me look like an irrational asshole? That answer has a 93% chance of being yes.

And god king of the fisa fraud judges. Tar and feathers would be appropriate. Mind you our pissy republicants don't have the balls to impeach him.
