I really can't believe it: a normally sane mod gives me a point for writing 'reported' as a reply to a flame!
Have they finally lost their last two brain cells?

There is only one option: Post here instead of there ;)
Maybe he thought you'd had written "deported" ....

Nah - the fact is that the CFC rules only apply to those who are not American, not Christian, and not conservative. All others have all the freedom they wish for.
Pity - but then, the US IS driving fast towards the abyss - 20 years from now they only Noble prize they will land is the IGnoble prizes for religious fanaticism.
nice.. did I step into the smack down the US forum... oh yeah thats right that is every Thread started by killer...

I have never really read the Off Topic forum there, the short time I read there, I have seen so many stupid posts, that if I had answered, I would have surely got more than 1 point...
That is not worth it...

IMHO it is not that bad...
I am an fairly progressive, European atheist and I (almost) never get into trouble at CFC. Then again, I avoid CFC's OT like the plague, so I may be seeing different things than you do.
I agree with Ynnek though. If I spoke my mind in OT I'd be scoring points by the dozen probably...
The way I see it: Enter CFC's OT at your own peril.... [help]

linky? Anyways, CFC OT is really pointless. Never understood the draw.
Posting "Reported" actually is a form of trolling, but I don't think I would've given you a 'point' for it.
But it is the responsibility of the mods to decide whether the post you reported is breaking the forum rules, not yours. Report whatever you feel is breaking the rules, but then stick to that. I know it might look like splitting hairs, but I can understand the mod's decision, whoever it was.

Sometimes I get the tendency to (ask to) become OT-mod, just to prove how wrong you are here. This is quite an insult to the moderators active there. And they already never receive credit for giving up spare time to moderate; they only do things wrong, very similar to referees.

Refs are always wrong ! The nordiques had the cup, Alain Gagné's goal was good !!!!!

I am starting to subscribe to a more "classical" philosophical view, ala Epictueus (SP? it's early in the AM here). I am really a fan of his styling, especially in the approach to open debate.
The first question I believe he would ask, is what is the point of the discussion? Are either side open to any information or ideas from the other party? If not, why are you spending your time and effort there?
Second, why are either party attempting to inflame the passions or responses of another party? Exciting desire and passion greatly retard the transfer of ideas.
Third, if either side believes in their core that they know the answer, Heaven and Earth cannot sway them, and they are much larger than you or I.
Finally, if something is known to be a bad quantity, here the OT thread at CFC, occasioned on many times to be full of idiots, why do you go there? A bright ember and a dead ember placed together may result in the ignition of the dead ember, but it probably won't, and even if it does, it loses some of its power. (I think I massacred the analogy he uses) A more modern translation, you can only be around idiots so long before everyone associates you with idiots and treats you as such as well.

Romeothemonk has recently made a number of people very, very angry, including me. However, as anger serves no function in a successful rebuttal, I will simply state objectively that I find Romeothemonk's expositions to be a perversion of the truth. Although not without overlap and simplification, I plan to identify three primary positions on Romeothemonk's maneuvers. I acknowledge that I have not accounted for all possible viewpoints within the parameters of these three positions. Nevertheless, I recently received some mail in which the writer stated, "Romeothemonk simply regurgitates the empty arguments that have been fed to him over the years." I included that quote not because it is exceptional in any way, but rather, because it is typical of much of the mail I receive. I included it to show you that I'm not the only one who thinks that Romeothemonk coins polysyllabic neologisms to make his vituperations sound like they're actually important. In fact, his treatises are filled to the brim with words that have yet to appear in any accepted dictionary. It is deeply unfortunate that without checks and balances, litigious devil-worshippers are free to invade every private corner and force every thought into an effete mold, since his jokes have kept us separated for too long from the love, contributions, and challenges of our brothers and sisters in this wonderful adventure we share together -- life! Romeothemonk is an interesting character. On the one hand, he likes to sow the seeds of discord. But on the other hand, the public is like a giant that he has blindfolded, drugged, and gagged. This giant has plugs in his ears and Romeothemonk leads him around by the nose. Clearly, such a giant needs to free people from the fetters of despotism's poisonous embrace. That's why I feel obligated to notify the giant (i.e., the public) that people often get the impression that licentious palookas and Romeothemonk's hatchet men are separate entities. Not so. When one catches cold, the other sneezes. As proof, note that Romeothemonk not only lies, but he brags about his lying to his cat's-paws. Finally, this has been a good deal of reading, and obviously difficult reading at that. Still, I hope you walk away from it with the new knowledge that jaundiced election-year also-rans are indubitably the lowest form of human life.
Sorry, couldn't help it :D CFC's OT is for people that have too much time on their hands.

Erhm, I agree it is up to the mods to decide if it is a break of the rule, but I didn't say 'warned' or 'banned'. All I did was say 'reported', which shows that I, personally, think the post bead enough to report it. How is that trolling?
Also, nobody else ever was warned for it, so either they made new rules without telling anyone (remember the big outcry about the last time they did?) or they just invent a special rule for me, which would not be the first time they did this.
So please, Matrix, spare me the excuses. I can respect mods, but not if they are biased. mathilda, for one, never fails to satisfy me, while DoM never fails to disappoint me.
