An independent Scotland?

Red Celt, the warning and the request to remove the photo was an unanimous decision by all the mods that were online at the time. There was no bias involved or any one person make a decision, Rum was just the mouth piece this time around.

Seems that Red Celt is as disingenuous as Mr Salmonella.

Seems like Clinton Huxley should watch his fucking mouth, because Red Celt is getting sick of the cunt.

Red Celt - This is a warning concerning this and several posts later in this thread which contravene the personal attack rule of the forum which can be found here: http://rationalia.com/forum/viewtopic.p ... 9#personal.

The mods are also concerned that you have used a personal image without that person's permission as a means of making a further personal attack. There has been a request to remove the image which we feel we are should accommodate. If you do not delete the pictures yourself within the next thirty minutes one of the mods will do so.

LOL - oh fuck right off. Delete away... and apply as a moderator on Atheism Plus.

That's not necessary, RC. Nothing gets deleted here, but certain images do get moved to other parts of the forum, when they violate NSFW policies or other forum rules, like the injunctions to refrain from personal attacks, and to play nice.

You don't need to take this so personally. Rum is acting on behalf of the mods generally.

I once took a photo of Rachel that she had posted, enlarged her breasts and made it my avatar.. she objected and I apologized and deleted it. People do stupid shit sometimes.

Except... I didn't change anything.

Generally people ask permission before posting images of other Ratz members. IIRC, Zilla was asked to reconsider a reposted pic of Eva, that she had posted of herself, but in a different forum. No change, and no malicious intent in that case, either. He took it down.

It's about playing nice.

[Red Celt]

And he actually deleted it. Jesus fuck, Rum... if you look at the AtheismPlus forum and wonder what happened to Mai, you really should take a look in the fucking mirror.

Rationalia: where bigots are welcomed and those who call them bigots receive warnings for abuse, even though the bigot was also being abusive. But hey, fuck any idea of even-handedness. At Rationalia, what matters is whether or not you've met up with people for a walk through the hills... or (obviously) how many posts they've made. Must protect the old-timers against the newcomers, mustn't we.

We prefer the term 'clique' here.

Rab C, is that you hen? Great name, red celt !!!



Don't be too hard on him, he's a really funny guy when he's sober.

Same forum, so that doesn't apply.

Did you read the rest of the thread? Where Huxley threw abuse at me? If it's about playing nice then it should be done consistently... or not at fucking all.

I'm fucking done with this. You seriously need to take a look at yourselves if you think that any of the above was done without prejudice.

And all the while folks argue over nonsense Salmond is slowly winning the war.

The war for FREEDOM! (to shout abuse at Jews when drunk).

No, I meant a different forum that was also on Ratz.

Fight back. But we have some very bare-bones rules about fighting tactics. The sense in the mod forum is that the picture was over the line.

I don't have a stake in who wins this argument between you two. I hadn't been keeping up with the thread until the reports drew it to my attention.

Maybe CH should have gotten more than a general reminder to play nice. I could see an argument for that.

But using his picture like that without his consent doesn't jibe for me. I think it crosses a line of appropriate behavior for arguments here. And we keep our standards pretty low.

But there's nothing wrong with presenting an argument why using his image without his consent is fair.

Rum didn't attack you. If anyone did, it was CH-- though there is disagreement on that point.

I was saying that you didn't need to take Rum's actions so personally, as he was simply posting the consensus of the moderator forum.

Your penis is shaped like Rum's head - all bald and with a hole in the top.

Did I miss that? Don't recall it.
It would take a saint to still play nice anyway, when RC got so personal.
