But Mason doesn't.

I disagree, but that's really neither here nor there.

Frankly, I'm a little surprised by the responses here... to me they smack of an overwhelming naivety. Paulp compared the owner of the website to a Nazi. The owner banned him.

If you think that's extraordinary behavior, I suggest you spend a day walking into businesses, asking to speak to the owners, and then calling them names including "Nazi." How many owners do you think will toss you out? If you think it is less than a significant percentage, you're wrong.

Call your boss a Nazi, and see if you get fired.

*shrug* This is the way the world works. Walk into someone's backyard and call them names, and they will often ask you to leave. If you don't like it, feel free to diatribe about it in your LiveJournal.

ed, you are misrepresenting events here.

the chronology was this: originally, paulp simply made a post saying that a specific aspect of the site's interface was "brain damaged," and that dynasty was pouring fuel on the fire by boasting about bannings. that post and entire thread got deleted.

THEN, before paulp has done anything else, before he responded to or complained about that deletion, mason sent a msg to paulp demanding he make a private and public apology, or he would be banned. give me a break.

naivete? you tell me how you'd react to that. the "hitler youth" comment came AFTER he'd been threatened with banning and he certainly expected to be banned for it. his original "offense," however, was no offense at all.
