Just keep offending or boring personalism private or in OT (or wherever they belong [but not here!]) and we all will be happy

Yup.
It also has a handful of the BEST posters at this website. The Shroomery does have some good police... believe it or not.
Best of all in the Mod Forum, you find out WHY things happen here like they do. I know for a fact, there is no Shroomery Conspiracy behind those closed doors. There is a lot of debate, discussion and thought put into Staff action. If only they got it right ALL the time...

I know, I know, I was mostly kidding although at one time I had my doubts. I appreciate many of the Mods here but not all and I'm not shy about letting my preferences be known.

You banned me for doing something similar in M&P while ignoring a blatant personalism against me.
Can you publicly and honestly state that was without bias? Why was the other poster given a pass?

I love it when sixteen year old retard girls from the suburbs of memphis tell me how awesome and at peace nature is. I live out in the goddamned sticks. Nature is a copperhead sitting contentedly next to the driver side door of my car, daring me to drive to work. Nature is 15+ horseflys hanging out on my ceiling, waiting to dive bomb me with acid. Nature is walking out the door to get threat stomped by a buck, cause it's taken my porch as it's territory.
I have my mysticism, and it addresses my worries about the meaninglessness of the universe. Science and Logic take care of everything else.

My mysticism is about burning bodies and onyx skinned women with blood red lips who will trample me to death, an ape who moves mountains, a wife growing weed in the fields about her house to keep her husband around the house, and a blue skinned boy who can bone a dozen cowherding girls at once, but disappears when any of them becomes possessive. And pissed off cobras.

THIS, I did not know. 
Perhaps I have only been hanging around with the 'good' mystics. Yours sound like a lot more fun.

Criticism is not against the rules in this forum as long as it's not personal, it is in M&P regardless.
You criticized Ginseng1's info twice before he asked you to "please stop being so useless."
I go after the first person to break the rules once a thread falls apart.
I do not know Ginseng1 nor have I ever spoke with him by PM.
There are several other threads that you were not involved in that I handled the same way.

I suspected your snarky Richard Simmons post had to do with something like that... Middle.
I'm getting pretty good at reading the warning signs.
... sigh.
My advice (like my opinion is wanted... hahaha):
Handle BOTH offending parties the SAME (BOTH parties should have been addressed)... and if you DO intend to ban someone... BAN the one who started it... not the one who responded to a personal attack.
If someone breaks a rule to attack me... I am 98.5% more likely to return the favor. Shouldn't I have carte blanche to defend myself? Or at least be forgiven for doing so?
That said, I did not see the thread in question... so I don't really know all I could about the matter.
What I do know is: I don't like watching Shroomery Veterans get hounded by Mods... especially if they have already been punished. You know how OC reacts to such treatment... since you already banned him for reacting to personal goading. Why continue provoking him? It seems you want to get him out of this forum too. That makes ME uncomfortable.
I could be reading too much into this... but we ALL read too much into things. And in spite of your denial... my original post now looks to be more accurate than it did this morning. So, perhaps I am reading JUST ENOUGH into this.
That's really all I have to say on the matter for now. I don't want to stir the hornet's nest any more than I already have.
Thanks for your time.

I see. So then you are going to ban yourself for your useless actions in this thread, correct?
And like Ginseng, I make now make personal attacks on you with a free pass, correct?

I did ban the one who started it.
OC wasn't responding to the so-called personal attack, the personal-attack was in response to OC's rule breaking.
The Shroomery Moderator handbook says to focus on the original rule-breaker in flame wars and such.
Here is the thread in question, it's old news and I'm not sweatin it.

You are. I have nothing against OC, I was making a silly joke. I thought that's what you guys like to do in here.

I'll say it again: Criticism and jokes are allowed in here, but not in M&P.

Ok.
The movie caused an increase of activity in the areas of my brain (eg. nucleus accumbens) associated with pleasure.

Stating a fact is criticism now, it it? Not according to any dictionary definition.
BTW, nice dodge on the second question. You failed to answer it BECAUSE YOU CANNOT without displaying your true nature.
Worst shroomery mod since that lying, welcher: shroomism.

There is no love. Don't be fooled by the see-thru facade. Here is the real MM expressing 'love':
Quote:
A very small-minded man with no sense of courtesy. Not the insightful person he pretends to be and certainly not non-biased. Very petty and likes to carry a grudge because someone exposes his pet superiority complex.
Notice once again - no answer, merely a deflection. And trust me - one will not be forthcoming.
