When is Frink coming back?
I assume the ban is lasting at least a month, looking at the date of last activity. That would mean 9 more days at least.
*shrug* I’m not really sorry he’s gone, though. As unpopular a position as that might be.
A gentle reminder not to knock on people who aren’t able to respond here.
I understand having limits on what one can say about someone who is banned or otherwise unable to respond and defend themselves. One certainly shouldn’t be allowed make fun of, personally attack, or name call such. But if you are going to ban all negative opinions about such, positive opinions about such should also be banned(imagine if you will how unfair we would all think it would be if mods on a forum said you were allowed to give positive opinions about Trump or some other politician but not negative opinions). Besides, if the person can’t respond be the person is banned, the mods must either agree that it is the person’s own fault that they can’t respond or that they banned someone that didn’t deserve to be banned.
Hence the gentle reminder so it doesn’t reach that level. And comparing a banned forum member to a politician is an apples and oranges argument if I’ve ever heard one.
It is not apples and oranges in the way I made the comparison.
The point is, is that is is unfair to allow positive comments about X but yet not allow legit criticism of X.
No it isn’t. That statement ignores the reasoning of why criticism of X may not be allowed. Among other things.
You’re creating a strawman, Warb.
