It is, and we do. It is cool that you noticed.
I looked at the thread. There's really not much there, on either side... IMO. Hardly worth one ban... let alone two. I'm surprised stern PM's weren't all that was handed out.
And yet with the rules of that forum being so strict... it is virtually impossible to say anything but, "I agree"... unless you want to risk banishment. Meh... not my idea of a fun forum.
I don't understand why people want to discuss things in a forum where people can't disagree... not without fear. That just doesn't sound fun. Moderating THAT forum has got to be a pain in the ass. I stay clear of it entirely.
I really wouldn't care at all... if y'all hadn't brought it in here, for me to watch. Just keep it out of P&S, and I won't be a back-seat moderator.
Thanks for the explanation.
One last thing Middle. You DO understand why this would all be upsetting to OC... right? It WAS a fairly tiddlywink ban... and he'd like to feel that you aren't carrying the grudge over here. Weather you did or not... that is how HE feels. I don't blame him. I wasn't the only one who got the same impression from your (newly edited) first post in this thread.
And since he feels that way... his posts ARE going to reflect his state of mind... for a while. It is human nature. It is how Veterans react when they feel they have been mistreated.
You want OC to admit his mistakes? Then treat him like a man... and not a criminal. He'd gonna' be UBER defensive as long as he feels like his head is on the chopping block (and YOU would be too)... as a Mod, you have the power to quell that drama either peacefully, or bitterly.
You may not understand how it feels to be banned... when a civil discussion would have served the SAME purpose... but I do.

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.
Dude, you KNOW I was jokingly bouncing back the exact rate you gave me first. 
"A very small-minded man with no sense of fair play. Not the spiritual person he pretends to be and certainly not in the middle. Very petty and likes to carry a grudge because someone exposes his pet fantasies."
You are the one who is delusional if you think I have any bias or grudge against you.

M&P is about freely sharing information without worry of being laughed at or criticized, some people enjoy it.
I had previously warned OC several times before I gave him a 3 day M&P forum temp ban.

I didn't think this question was worthy of a response, but since you insist:
You were breaking the rules before Ginseng said "Please stop being so useless."
I wasn't breaking the rules by posting "Thanks for another gay thread."
Sheeeeeesh man, smoke a joint or something.

"And like Ginseng, I make now make personal attacks on you with a free pass, correct?"
"And like Ginseng, I make now make personal attacks on you with a free pass, correct?"
In case you missed it the first three times.
Editor's note: Middleman quietly deleted my thread on hate and mysticism which was a valid topic.

When was this forum converted into a soap opera?

No shit. I've defended myself enough, I will continue to delete any threads that accuse me of bias.
If anyone has a problem with me, send in a support ticket. Back to Philosophy...
