Who is this Torri and why so notorious?


it's a jew who won the admin spot by winning an election which can be said as the final blow to KJ, after he won and he started his reign of terror more than half of the regular posters went away.

Since I'm one ban away from being perma banned, I will not reply to the comment above.


The exchange above did not sit right with me.

As context, Mau has been warned several times for attacking me directly.

The characterization of me as a 'jew' in the above statement is not intended to be factual - but to be hateful. He could have gone further, of course, and he probably wanted to (eg, adding 'schemy' to precede 'jew'). But I infer from his next comment that he restrained because he thought about what's 'appropriate' and 'inappropriate', as he acknowledges he's trying to skirt a perma-ban.

If that's appropriate, what has come from these last rounds of discipline? In essence, mau can make colorful - and anti-semetic - comments...provided they aren't as colorful and anti-semetic as they were in '10 or '11.

For the record, this doesn't offend me... but, what kind of conversations are we having exactly with our 'disciplined' members?


Let's leave it at this: It's all context. I read Mau's comment above in the same way Torri does, a hateful and unnecessary comment. Personal attacks aren't allowed, yet Mau is taking a personal attribute and using it in a hateful way.

Mau, please consider this a final warning, review our personal attack policy and then make sure what you're saying won't be construed as a violation. I'm really not concerned if Torri is upset or not, you're violating the rules, yet again, and your leash is about at an end.

Algren is not entirely wrong, but of course it depends on the context.

Ugh, fine.

But he can make comments about my sexuality and get away with it? I fail to see why he got away not even with a warning while i got banned.

No one "gets away" eith anything, but the mods cannot be omnipresent.

It's like the way Torri started this thread by saying that Mau can get away with anything apparently. Ever thought that mods might have simply not seen the whole thing? I, for my part, didn't. It is not our obligation to check every single thread for violation of rules. If someone is attacked, they should bring the issue to us, by PM or by the reporting function. IF the reported issue warrants action on our part, action will be taken. As far as I know, neither the "jew" comment nor any comments about sexuality have been reported by either of you. As I said, we are not omnipresent.
