Can I just say, and I'm just being honest...

Yes, it is the hill I want to defend. Funnily, the most disruption, name-calling and outright douchebaggery has come from this pair's denouncers, not the accused themselves.

Disruption? How so? How many members have they chased away?

Moreover, I'd like you to demonstrate which rules were actually broken without referring to your own moral code of conduct, which is irrelevant.

Sure, I'm glad you asked. It is first on the list of forum rules:

Overwhelmingly Negative Influences
Members are not allowed to engage in any activity which has an overwhelmingly negative influence on the forums as a whole. The purpose of these forums is to promote discussion and debate between people of different belief systems, which all members should try to do in a non-disruptive manner. Whilst there are no points of view that a member can hold which would be considered a negative influence, a member can be a negative influence if their behavior is consistently disruptive and upsetting to active members.

Behaving as if because the staff won't take action against your personal undesirables means they take no action and operate under some pretense is just the dramatic hyperbole of the wildly vocal minority that are outraged by this situation.

I've never advocated for banning either of those guys before, despite my long-standing dislike for both of them. The reason why is because my likes and dislikes are irrelevant. But seriously, read your own rules. It's there in black-and-white. And any idiot can see that running off members with thousands of productive posts, spewing venom with every post, is ONI.

If y'all would get your heads out of your asses for half a second, you'd realize that the rest of the forum is buzzing along merrily in spite of the juvenile antics of the resident SJWs.

And if you'd stop and read for a moment instead of thinking you know it all, you'd know that my position here is not based on any conception I might have about social justice, but is rather based the good of the forum as a whole. Of course, you've already made up your mind, and I don't doubt that this hope of mine is vain.
