Not so, equality means you have to own your behaviour, there is also duty requirements whether you like it or not. Freedom isn't free.

Indeed. And why not? It's the right thing to do.

You have got to love the naivety of Forty Two, he still believes ratskep cares about facts, evidence, truth, reality and science. :funny: I'm just waiting for them to call him a troll so I can open a book for when he gets banned. :smoke:

I think you're mistaken, but it's an understandable mistake. Appeal to Constitutional Fundamentalism smells very similar to Unadulterated Fantasy.

Does anyone know why I have been suspended from RatSkep for 24 hours "pending review"?

I could understand it if I had been at the centre of a bunch of arguments, but things have been pretty quiet and reasonably civil lately.

Perhaps you've fallen foul of hackenslash's recent troll hunt? :dunno:

Pull up a cheese. :cheese:

Well, he did call me a cunt a couple of times recently, for reasons I couldn't quite gather. I'd be surprised if that had anything to do with it though.

Why doesn't the hack produce videos anymore? I'm still subscribed to his channel. :(

hackenslash has left Rat Skep for good and is getting very tired of the internet even though he cannot keep away from it for very long
I am no longer a member either even though I still post there as I have left it for good too although not obviously for the same reason
Strontium Dog will be informed at a later date what if any action will be taken against him after mods received complaints about him
I am not sure what the subtle distinction is between having the wrong haircut and the wrong colour hair but it is not worth discussing
