Keith Gonzalez said:Out of everything you just quoted, my only oversight was one. Just one. I don't care what other mods choose to do or not do on their own dashboard. Also, I have no idea how you managed to quote deleted posts. It’s obvious you have a vendetta against this specific individual, and it's up to you people to settle that among yourselves.
I don't have a vendetta against them; they have a vendetta against the entire world, and they aren't the only ones on this sub-board... You mentioned earlier that people like that are allowed to express their opinions because they contribute to the topic, but from where I'm sitting, that’s all just total bullshit—from the way those "opinions" are voiced to the blatant double standards used to protect them...
And the posts I quoted were visible at the time (I assume someone else noticed this thread too)... As for your suggestion that we "settle this among ourselves," how exactly am I supposed to do that? We can't do it here on the site, so what's the plan—sending obscene DMs, or meeting up in some dark alleyway?
But what I really want to know is how someone can label me—or anyone else who actually uses consistent logic—as mentally unstable (with clear intent to insult), and then somehow come out looking better when that person hits back with an equally reasoned response. Or do you honestly think it's normal for someone in an anonymous online space to react with furious personal attacks just because someone pointed out facts that prove them wrong? This specifically refers to my blunt response to the user named none (just look at all the posts you deleted from him directed at me, and tell me who actually has a vendetta against whom), though the pattern is visible elsewhere...
Actually, it doesn't even matter; I see the situation for what it is. I just wanted to call this out clearly in its own context, because if I had posted this in the Ban Appeals section, it would have been swept under the rug by an automated process without anyone bothering to look at the details.
I'm writing this because I genuinely want the communication on this sub-board to improve. It could be a great supplement or a counterweight to the natural science sections (in terms of debunking myths and taboos in both science and pseudoscience), but that won't happen as long as various psychotic outbursts from the edge of sanity are tolerated while the reactions to them are suppressed. Fine, maybe I'm partly to blame because I don't have the patience I used to to correct every single tiny error in this forest of nonsense—but for heaven's sake, I don't have moderator tools at my disposal. 🤷
