So you do not dispute my GDP numbers? Well at least you didn't try anyway. Perhaps there is some small hope for you.

Marxism has SFA to do with IS. Therefore nothing to do with the IS thread. I doubt AD has any depth of understanding of Islam as a complete set of laws, including economic ones. Personally I'm bored shirtless with his commie spam.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I') will have to respectfully disagree and remind you that my interpretation of the rules of engagement as with all rules of engagement subject to due process, as a lawyer, does not contemplate what is in effect and what you are demanding, is a form of censorship.

[davep]

Oh, and be aware that if there is any moderation of your actions I have excuded myself from any vote because of our interactions. So you can stop banging on about rules of engagement as tools of censorship, you big drama queen.

[americandream]

Actually I would rather debate resolved issues and not reporting. However, if you are to take any moderaing stance on matters, one would expect you to focus on these sorts of post as I mentioned rather than my reasoned and respectful ones that rebut simplistic notions of social relations. And yes, I would welcome Sharian posts if only to convince its adherents as to just how absurd ideas formulated for the Bronze Age are post Enlightenment, especially from people who by and large live according to modernity bar these odd nods to the past.

Personally I would rather be left alone to reasonably conduct myself than these often quite abusive dismissals. I have been on here for over 10 years and have generally posted as appropriate. Just the simplistic characterisation of dialecticism of the material kind as commie says it all.

And please no emotive language like drama queen. Lets conduct ourselves respectfully thanks.

[davep]

We don't scour the boards, so active moderation isn't always possible. That's what the reporting function is for. And as I said, if you object to something strongly enough to bang on about it in your thread to go on about censorship (that hasn't happened, because you're still allowed to go on about it), report it or accept it.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'P')ersonally I would rather be left alone to reasonably conduct myself than these often quite abusive dismissals.

The rules here are simple; be nice, stay on topic.

Threads belong to the OP, he sets the discussion. Heed his direction.

Sorry, no lawyers in message board land.

This is really [easy] tho, I'll repeat:

# 1, be nice, if you experience excessive abuse, click the exclamation mark button.

#2 the OP owns their thread and they direct where their discussion goes.


The point is, you don't want me making judgements on whose argument is valid and whose is not. I've pissed off a lot of mods over the years arguing that is not what we do. Want to talk about something? Start a thread.


(here are a couple tips that apply:
the biggest reason for banning is disrupting the boards, usually with a repetitive argument,
the second biggest reason is taking up the mods time explaining common courtesy
the surest way however is bitching about the moderators)
