Virgil, posts like this from you ( because they happen quite a bit) being that are a moderator are what makes me back away from this board again and again. I come back because I miss many people on here and then you post on something like this and it reminds me why I left. Virgil isn't posting as a moderator, gin. He's just posting his opinions as "one of the gang". While we might not agree with his opinions he shouldn't have to "shaddap and siddown" just because he's a moderator/administrator. I wear a very different hat when I moderate than the one I wear when posting. Virgil does the same thing. If his posts (or, anyone's posts) really bother you, you can block them through your profile page (edit profile/Privacy (at the bottom of the list). It does not matter mmhmm, that he is not speaking now as a moderator, that fact that the administration here would have a person with such views makes me uncomfortable and honestly sickened. That behavior is shown to be acceptable and he has switched to his moderator hat in the middle to shut people down. And I get to feel those ways and that means I change my behavior. I know admin/moon won't do a damn thing about it but that does not change that his behavior has caused me to have a negative view of this board overall and that make me leave often. I miss the people here so I come back occasionally, but then it comes up again and I leave again. It may end up, at some point I drop this board like I have others because it becomes not worth it. It saddens me because there are some great people on it, with a ton of knowledge, but the choice to have certain moderators colors the board. |

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

I know some feel the same way about me. I can assure you, however, my opinions don't mix with my moderation. I've never seen evidence that Virgil's do, either. If you've seen something like that from ANY moderator, please Report it. We moderate according to our CoC and ProBoards' ToS. We do not moderate according to our opinions. You should see some of the bruhahas that are played out in discussion of whether a post should stand or be removed!  |

I think the whole thing was beyond creepy and was getting worse, no matter whose hat, or what kind of hat, he was posting under.  |
