Oh, wait.
Anyone expecting moderators to be objective robots is living in an alternate universe. It may surprise some people, but mods are human too. We all have our subjectivity. The FUA is there to try and minimise that subjectivity as much as possible, but there is always going to be context to a discussion that can't be codified in the FUA.

I await the robots. :ht:

Huh?!? I only discussed my understanding of the fua rule.
You said we were taking our information only from disgruntled Ratskep members and when I point out to you that you were one of these information sources you move the goalpost that it was just your interpretation of it and not the actual rule.

But that's true. He said the rule as far as he understood it.
Я пью за разоренный дом,
За злую жизнь мою,
За одиночество вдвоем,
И за тебя я пью, -
За ложь меня предавших губ,
За мертвый холод глаз,
За то, что мир жесток и груб,
За то, что Бог не спас.

Combat robots mostly, but also maze solvers, longjumping robots, highjumping robots, swimming robot (didn't work). I used to participate in Robot Wars for BBC and Five TV, as well as BNN for the Netherlands.

I don't even know what we are talking about here. You said I posted a "rule". I didn't. I posted my understanding of it. My care factor is only just above zero. :vader: :martini: *Man you guys have got some cool smilies here!!

Cowardly?!? FFS. :roll:
I think that many of us think that strong people do not need to cower from controversial viewpoints and differing opinions. In fact, I think that strong people welcome the opportunities to substantiate, as best as they can, their ideas, and welcome chances to justify what they believe and how they came to believe what they do.
You're right. We're all so weak over there. Thanks for setting us straight.
As was pointed out earlier in this thread, the rule against group attacks came about because the users demanded it.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Isn't it known as "GS rule"?
