Clarification regarding PDF Alternatives

What do you mean by bias? If we were truly as subjective as you claim, half this forum wouldn't even exist, nor would much of the high-quality discussion found in this thread. Our goal isn't to drive people away; rather, it is to foster a civil and constructive dialogue. If grown adults find themselves unable to grasp that distinction, then I am truly at a loss for words. 🤷

It wasn't just your posts that were removed, nor was it every single mention of astrology that got wiped out. And yes—that constant "friendly banter" and mutual mocking is precisely why those posts had to be deleted.

I am well aware of the situation involving Plečko. I could easily go on about how many people ended up looking like absolute fools in that particular saga. ☕ But, as I have already stated, ultimately, it comes down to a matter of the law.

I am well aware of the whole situation involving Plečko. I could easily go on describing exactly who ended up looking like a fool in that scenario. ☕ But, as I have already stated, that ultimately falls under the jurisdiction of the law.

I feel quite like Joseph K. from The Trial 🤣

I have presented so many concrete, logical questions, yet I have received nothing but responses along the lines of "it simply had to be done." Essentially, the moderator has the authority to act whenever they deem it necessary. It has been a long time since I have encountered such a lack of clear definitions.

It brings to mind a situation where a woman tried to convince my friend that a woman isn't permitted to slaughter a chicken, only a man is. When he asked why, her response was simply, "Because that's how it is," while looking at him as if his question were utterly nonsensical.

In short, to borrow a phrase from my boss: "Sometimes you just feel helpless against sheer stupidity." When someone counters rational argumentation with something so vague and nebulous, you find yourself at a loss for words.

Of course, I am fully aware that moderators are free to act as they please without providing explanations, that they aren't obligated to answer questions, and that an administrator would never dream of intervening in such matters; however, I found the clumsy reasoning used to justify this action to be quite surprising.

I realize there is no requirement to justify or explain these actions—these threads exist merely for formal purposes—but it would have been better to offer no response at all than to provide something like this. 🤷

Take a moment to observe an example of truly impartial moderation over on the PDF Alternatives thread regarding the Nibiru theory.

I suggest you examine the final two pages of posts submitted by user tomatix.
