Not afraid or impressed- your reign of control is abating-
Skytrekker you are, like the rest of City Data members allowed to post your opinion. However when your posts become bigoted, threatening, and inflammatory, then that is crossing the line. If you were attacked you would be the 1st to cry foul. Even though you say you have no authority on this forum, one would think you of all people would know the forum rules and abide by them.

If anyone posted what you posted about "straight white guys" about gay people they would be banned. Let's see what happens.


BTW,your saracastic comment about the "brain police" it doesn't take much brain power to resort to bigoted inflammatory remarks.

I can't believe the whining about Skytrekker's postings, especially with the blasting I have seen by the conservative side.

Just confirms what I always suspected, the Limbaugh want-to-be's are overcompensating babies.

I see many, many times on these threads where mods offer their opinions. Just because you're a righty and he a lefty doesn't mean you should report him. Get a backbone.
Ridiculous. No. Do you need to go back and reread his posts. If someone posted what he did and directed it at a minority they would be banned. It has nothing to do with agreeing with his silly statement. Something to the effect. . . if straight white men don't adapt they will die off"

Do you agree with this. . What if someone posted. . if homosexual black men don't adapt they will die off. . they would be banned as racist. . . Why is it any different? Also threatening.

Thank goodness I don't agree with him. I don't agree with most "lefties" as you put it. . But I am open to a civil dabate.

P.S. I have quite a backbone/spine. He was not directing it at me (a female) so you could say I am sticking up for others. . I may have been accused of other things but not having a backbone has never been one of them!

Should'nt a moderator be held in a higher
standard than a regular joe poster?

Not necessarily but at least to the same standards as others.

Well they have complained about my 'inflammatory' messages- and downgraded my reputation. I guess the brain police remark was right on target.

Guess it is time to stand up to this brown shirt thugs.

And forum rules? for who the right wing wing hypocrites? Nope. The powers may be can strip me of being a moderator- but this is in fact a democracy for all views- not just Fox News and the rest of the far right.

Are you kidding me? You haven't read the posts insulting homosexuals and liberals that are in this forum daily? Or do you just choose to ignore and/or accept those as "controversy?"

Yes, I do see posts insulting liberals just like I see posts insulting conservatives. This is a political forum, it's to be expected. And I see posters stating that they do not agree with homosexual marriage, and they believe it is against nature etc. But not inflammatory rude remarks so bold as these. . . I still believe if anyone posted that gay men need to adapt (ie change) then they will die off then their would be a huge outcry and they would be called bigot etc. No one has answered why it is acceptable to insult "white straight males" but watch out if it is directed towards a mintority.
