General discussion of moderation procedures - Part οκτώ

...but nothing counterfactual that I could identify.Randman is the cowardly lunatic liar that Dr. Adequate describes. Any competent observer could win the debate on that question with ease: the record is long and clear.The Showcase licenses the most despicable behaviors from our most dishonest members; specifying the particulars of their pathology should not be a suspendable offense.

Well said, AdminQuetzal--reasonable, civil, measured, and in full accordance with the overt admin culture of EvC.Nonetheless, Dr. A spoke the truth. Had he made those charges against almost any other member, they would constitute insults; as applied to Randman, they are facts, and I would happily debate that assertion with anyone...though I don't propose to do so here.As long as we have the perverse Showcase, whose residents are free to fling their droppings at others without consequence, it will be periodically necessary for someone to point out that they are shitheads. And I'm glad to hear from you, even in rebuke.Just in case I don't get another opportunity (sic, indeed!) to say so, have a grand New Year!

Those comments would certainly be needlessly offensive and serve no good purpose, humiliating persons with little or no choice--or moral culpability--in the relevant matter; nor have the ugly slandered the fair, nor the fat the slim. Charging a slandering liar with his lies is materially different. Even the great respect due to the Office of the President should not preclude the observation that the current occupant is a liar who has done great harm to others. Randman is apparently beyond suspension, having gained the powerful immunities of Showcase. Truth is a defense that could never work for randman, though it should confer some good to anyone who speaks it.No defense could ever work for anyone here, because discussions of post mortem reservations such as mine are not trials. Still, I do recognize the forum's legitimate (though sometimes somewhat selective) concern for decorum.I won't weary you further with the issue, AdminModulous. Thank you for the courtesy of your reply.

As indicated, AdminModulous, with the exceptions of wishing you a Happy New Year and offering my assurances of respect, I leave you with the last word on the matter.

I do see that it is simple.

Dr. Adequate did not "leave" the Showcase debate with randman; randman effected his removal for the most pernicious of reasons--Dr. Adequate was besting him in fair debate.This is a perversion of discourse.I am amazed--and dismayed--that you think it a reasonable arrangement.
