If you decide to call someone a c***, you have no place here.

233. I can totally respect what you're saying.

I don't have enough information of my own to say if I agree with you or not, but that's not really important here. I do understand what you're getting at, though. I did my own Google and found several instances of things which disturbed me. Including a post about the exact same phrase used here where the poster in question obviously knew what the phrase in question means. That was disappointing, but not totally unexpected I suppose. It was mostly old post, from back when the previous incarnation of the site existed. Which doesn't negate the potential agenda you're talking about.

I don't have a candidate either, and I likely won't for a while yet. I don't care who is taking notes of that.

I've just spent copious amounts of time researching this. I need a life or a hobby, or something. In the end I can't disagree consistence is needed, but some do mention that the owner who banned the person is more likely to ban for such offenses than the other owner.

My takeaway after all my reading is, we all get disillusioned. Even the owners of the site didn't expect what they ended up having to deal with here over time. You couldn't pay me enough money to have to wade through all the unrest, anger and angst they're expected to manage here. However, I admit I deal with a myriad of politically verbose people daily in my work, and may be a bit overly empathetic on that point. Our ideals feel so beautiful when we find them in our youth, and they pain us so deeply when they're ripped from our grasp when we begin to mature.
