truheart1941: ...no I,m not.. ....church of England....go to church 4 times a week........

galrads: Owned by everyone.... Nonsense...

And an Opposing view is one thing, you are correct about this. I've always tried and welcomed that in any thread or poll Ive created. However, that is not what lead to hypocrite ooby being banned in my stupid poll. had he appologized, i would have lifted the ban. nothing difficult. Instead he went whining to everyone, instead of emailing me.

Hypocrite oob posted way off-topic and he knows it. What a whiner. Many in agreement with oob evidently don't realize that the Ban button is a self-moderation tool. Imagine how your instructor in any credited school would tolerate someone always going off- topic in class with a defined topic or insulting the instructor or others. That violator would be out of their or probably get a flunking grade.

By the way I call oob, a hypocrite because he has banned others and he openly admits it here. He can't see the forest for the trees. His post is no different than a trolls post since it is off-topic.

And btw, anyone, if you need to discuss off-topic, and your aren't blocked, why don't you use another media provided on CS, like email? If that doesn't work for you, why not start your own thread or post to discuss your topic of interest?

I wasn't wrong in using the ban feature. I am glad now I did it for more reasons.

I haven't seen this crude PAC-attack mentality since I first joined CS, and it is sad to see. I never thought so many people would go off on me like this without reviewing the complaint. I opened up the possibility for CS members to do this by making it clear in this thread who oob was talking it about.

I have other feelings about this pac-attack mindset but suffice for me.... any sympathizer of oob, or intolerant of moderator tools, go fly a kite.

ooby_dooby: It seems to me that just because I voiced an opinion counter to what the poll creator holds that I was banned from his poll in spite of the fact that I hadn't even said word one to him. All I did was respond to another person who posted to the thread. Subsequently, I am unable to answer any comments directed toward me including addressing certain posters who felt it was necessary to mock on my screen name. So now people can attack me and I can't even defend myself. Is this the American way?
If a person is so insecure as to ban someone for holding an opposite opinion from him, that person is truly a coward.
