I didn't advocate violence against Americans.

[/ QUOTE ]

What you advocate is clear. Whether it is "violence against Americans" or not is a matter of opinion.

[ QUOTE ]
In jokerswild's case however I believe he deliberately and maliciously misrepresented the views of another poster which is a different matter altogether.

[/ QUOTE ]

As I believe I have shown, what jokerswild said is a matter of opinion. It is not defamatory. Indeed, in the original thread you have admitted as much, and have said that the difference is in interpretations of the meaning of firing a shot into the air.

If what jokerswild said was not defamatory, he should not have been banned. I shall change my avatar and location in protest of your actions.

[/ QUOTE ]

You are protesting actions that you clearly lack a solid understanding of. Had you seen the messages MMMMMM has given to posters, not limited to jokerswild, you would know that M6, as moderator, has made it known that personal attacks of any kind are not to be tolerated. Jokerswild was given fair warning and continued. If this particular part of 2+2 is to ever be even partially civilized, the need for a concept of what is acceptable and unacceptable is obvious.

In another thread, I was warned for posting insulting remarks toward either Cyrus or Chris Alger (I don't remember which)...I'm certain that had I continued on the same path, my fate would have been the same as jokerswild's, and rightfully so.

But, as I said in the thread jw got banned over, its clear that the only people who disagree with M6 are those who disagree with him politically anyways, so I shouldn't be surprised.

By your and MMMMMMM's standards, that is a false and defamatory statement. I presume you will apologize.

It is inappropriate for "a concept of what is acceptable and unacceptable" to be changeable at the whim of someone who has shown that he cannot be relied upon to excercise good judgment.

This is not a false and defamatory statement. It is fact. And if you have seen those messages, then you have chosen to ignore the intent of said messages.

It hasn't changed. The guideline laid out by M6, named by 2+2 as this forum's moderator, said that posts directly insulting and name-calling (attacking) will not be tolerated. Your defense of jokerswild is foolish.

If I were to continue to attack Alger or Cyrus or whoever after being warned, I have no doubt that I would be banned as well, at the very least temporarily suspended because I don't have a history of being an attacking troll. Your FYP is one of the dumbest of all time. I don't know how many people MMMMMM has felt the need to ban, and as far as I can tell JW is the only one. Your sample size of M6's banning procedure is far too small, but you clearly don't care about that.

Thus far jokerswild holds the sole honors.

Hi Lou,

Saying someone does not understand something or that they ought to be aware of something is not defamatory.
