And if I had my choice I'd prefer that Joe wouldn't call people fascists. But I'd also prefer that nobody be banned over this.
How do we know what was even and what wasn't if we haven't read all the private communication that goes on behind the scenes?
Your question as to why a 'privately owned forum should be even' confirmed to me that this one is not moderated evenly. And just so you know, this IS NOT about 'private communication behind the scenes'!!! What has repeatedly happened that I believe has been based on favoritism, has occurred right here out in the open on the board. Many people on this forum communicate 'behind the scenes' as you well know. There are also 'other' lesser known forums where some of those same people post and chit-chat. They are not so easy to find or get into. And then there's the good ol' DU.
I would prefer that no one be banned also. I was merely bringing up the obvious, in that there are those that have been banned/suspended for less, while others have been coddled for far worse. THAT is my only gripe.
