I have no idea why you were banned from outside (how did you manage
that???) and I dont care. AFAIAC, it's perfectly acceptable to
express your dislike for something or someone. Racial slurs
generally are not tolerated, but religious slurs usually are -
calling someone a diaperhead or a mackrel snapper is quite
acceptable AFAIAC.
Stop acting like you have been put upon, clean up your act, and
join the conversation. Nobody likes whiners.
And I assure you, I get no special treatment because I am a moderator.
In fact, I'm held to a somewhat higher standard. And yes, I've had
some of my posts deleted on outside because I lost my cool and
launched a personal attack on someone who launched one on me first.

You can disagree all you want. While i am FAR from being "PC", your standards are obviously somewhat different from the other moderators and most of the "inmates" around here. Why don't you post something about all the Catholics, Jews, Muslims, etc ???
As far as "getting banned from Outside" goes, i did just what you did here. The difference is that i quoted Biblical scriptures and provided historical references for the comments that i made. You simply spouted off what most would consider "intolerance", "hatred" and "bigotry". On top of that, you did so without any justification, merit or reason to even broach the subject. While you can do this because you are a moderator, i get banned for it even though i was on topic and cited references to support the statements that i made. As such, if i am going to be held to one standard, the moderators should be held to the same ( or HIGHER ) standard. The fact that i provided irrefutable references for the stance that i took, and not one person was able to refute them, and i get banned shows that the moderators here are neither fare nor even handed. Then you display your ignorance and bigotry for all to see, do so in a manner that is completely uncalled for and off topic and your post remains. Then you call me out for pointing this out and i'm the one that is the "bad guy" aka "whiner". Obviously, there's something wrong with this picture and your either too dumb or blind to realize what's going on here and what you did wrong. At least, that is "AFAIAC". Sean
