Sam. What happened to the poor devil that married you?
Is he still living?
Kira is the absolute last person on this forum who deserved that kind of comment from Will. He was not only rude to her, but racist and bigotted towards her. Personally, I think he should have been banned outright for it.
Fair enough, and less than appropriate behavior from Will.
That is because you define your identity in terms of this forum board, James.James R said:If I was you, I think I'd be trying to put this thread behind me as quickly as possible.
Oy vey. Pay no heed, straw. That statement was misinterpreted and deliberately so by the majority here. I had a scuffle a while back where Kira interpreted an insult on the basis of her asian background when I had made an off-color comment about the country of China ONLY. If I am not mistaken, Kira herself is Indonesian, yet she felt insulted anyway because Chinese and Indonesians are both asian... even when my statement was not referring to asians. Obviously that's an illogical stance but she has been responding to me on that basis since then.
That is why I said earlier that she is reacting on "her state of being an asian person who I have previously offended." In truth, her being asian has nothing to do with anything, or I simply would have said "your state of being an asian person." It is *her* perception that I was drawing attention to. Meanwhile, notice how most people (geoff and parmalee) inserted a fake period or ceased quoting after the word "asian person" when quoting my expression, even though that changes the meaning entirely. That is because they are angry kittens who crave flame wars.
That is because you define your identity in terms of this forum board, James.
Like I said, I don't know why and if you're not married to him, then your own position is equally bizarre.

Okay now you're lying too. So I have to stop debating with you as well. Sorry. I have a new rule. Avoid dishonest posters.

PMWatch.il is an Israeli rag. And thats all I have to say.
And of course you can prove mens rea right?...That statement was misinterpreted and deliberately so by the majority here...
Indeed. Kind of indicates a level of selectivity.And I, as a strong supporter of the Palestinians and a very strong critic of US foreign policy, not just in regards to Israel and the Palestinians, but also in regards to the war and with issues such as their lack of actions in Rwanda, for example, have never been subject to what you are claiming. Which is strange in and of itself, don't you think?
In actual fact, I don`t have a major issue with JamesR`s moderation, and often I utterly support his rationale in regards to Moderation, but IMO, he clearly has a issue with SAM, which is the gist of this thread. SAM`s intellect is astounding and clearly rubs certain individuals up the wrong way. The arrow of truth has little regard for individual sensitivities.You are accusing James of bigotry because he is apparently targetting anyone who takes an anti-Israel stance or anti-US stance. I do take such a stance and was never 'targetted' by James. James takes such a stance as well. In case you are not aware, he is on the side of the Palestinians and has voiced such opinions repeatedly on this forum.
There certainly seems to be a lack of respect for dissenting Muslim views, posters like DiamondHeart, have vacated this board following overly zealous critique, further diluting the intellectual drought around here.I don't recall Challenger, as one example who also had the same stance, ever being targetted either and he is a Muslim. Nor were other Muslim members of this forum who have since stopped posting for one reason or another, none of which I am sure of, was because of bullying by James or the other moderators. If we are to fully believe that James and some of the other moderators are bigots and will sanction or bully anyone who holds such a stance as I do, I'd have been banned from this forum a long time ago. I would have received warning after warning and been removed from this forum. The same, I imagine, would have happened to anyone else who had the same belief as I do, be they Muslim or not. And yet, we have Muslim and non-Muslim members who have the same beliefs and the same criticism who are left completely untouched. One was even made a moderator recently.
Perhaps. :m:So what does that tell you? Could it be the manner of delivery perhaps?
I have butted heads with Will many times and hard. And enjoyed every moment.You seem surprised that he even said it? Had you read some of his other posts on this forum, you would not have been so surprised.
Correct, Kira certainly does not deserve abuse.Kira is the absolute last person on this forum who deserved that kind of comment from Will. He was not only rude to her, but racist and bigotted towards her. Personally, I think he should have been banned outright for it.
Here is my reply to Kira's latest message, in which she refers me to a PM she has just written to me in the lats two days. I am posting my reply to Kira much in the same way that she did to me earlier in this thread, when she posted her response to one of MY PM's. Here is the PM that I wrote back:
