      Out of curiosity who does make the rules? You’re a moderator right? Doesn’t that mean you make the rules or at least contribute to them?

        The original creator of Politics created the rules and invited me, and others to help moderate the rules they created.

      Looking at this comment section, you are clearly NOT enforcing them.

      Is it a bannable offense or not?

        At the time I shut down last night, I didn’t see anything bannable. Going through comments now, but doing my replies first. 😉

      You might as well, since you decide to ban everyone you don’t like. And get away with it by the admins never touching you.

        No, I don’t. Case in point, you’re still here, right?

        I remove posts and comments that break the rules, and I ban people for cause.

      I think the larger point is maybe you shouldn’t be allowed to, because you’ve admitted to arbitrarily suspending that rule when someone YOU are fine celebrating dies, like Kissinger.

        It was a mutual decision, not mine alone.

        I believe the exact quote was “Yeah, rule 6, but fuck that guy.”

          OK, so a better way to phrase that would be that the collective “you” has no business enforcing a rule that “you” decided not to enforce against yourselves, because “you” happened to agree with the death.
