HEAR YE..... HEAR YE!!!!!

Supersport:

The Webmaster forum is not the place for you to continue your rant from another forum, as if by doing so here you have arrived at a place were you can score a few points in a sanctioned Zone. Coming here to whine doesn't score any points with me as I'm sure it doesn't with any other mod or the Webmaster. I had a good mind to just do away with this thread, but then I thought I'd leave it up so that I could strike a few points of my own. Again, this forum is not for dragging out fights from other forums. The underhanded way in which you have snuck in your high-horse is enough to get you reeeeal close to a ban. In fact, someone else other than me may just come after me and just plain do it, but at this time I'm only going to issue you a warning and public reprimand. So get it straight buddy!!!!

Atalanta:

The Abortion Debate forum is exactly that --- A DEBATE FORUM!!!!! In any debate, a premise is stated and that premise is examined from many different angles in order to defragment said premise. For every argument, there HAS to be a counter-argument. In the case of supersport, his argument is based on biblical premise. Perhaps some insightful Martian can go into the forum with an argument that has eluded us all on this planet, but so far the arguments, and I'm specifically referring to that forum ----, seem narrowly two-sided. No one has any right to determine what premise someone on the opposing side can or can not use in order to make their case. It is within what is to be expected when debating the one side will not like the position the other side takes, but if it's all that uncomfortable, then debates are not your cup of tea. Period. So get over it!

What has already been made very clear to ALL of you, is that in any forum, posts must stay ON TOPIC, and not digress into some other pet subject. I see several places where this has gone on ample times on this forum, but frankly, it takes too long to go lice picking through every post for pesky bugs, and this is the reason some of you have been complaining that there are biases among the mods. I assure you there are no biases, just a time challenge that makes it a lot easier to do away with something that clearly looks like a flame war.

You may use whatever criteria you see fit in order to oppose a viewpoint on any debate forum, but you MUST stay on course and not try to slyly use the forums as soap boxes for your own ideas. You must all respect whatever criteria someone else uses to debate an issue, even when the whole idea repulses you, because that is the nature of debating.

I personally feel like banning all of you right now for acting like a bunch of twelve year olds in the school playground, but as I still have a grain of patience left, if some other moderator or the Webmaster have reached their limit, they have my nod of approval.
