In Praise of Josh Timonen

[lordpasternack]

There were some good mods and some bad ones.. I wouldn't paint with such broad strokes personally.

Out of curiosity, who is this "Kevin Ronayne"?

I don't know where the missing post is, but if it was an attack then it would have fallen foul of this forum's "no personal attacks on forum members" rule.

It was eated for that reason.

Is it normal practice to delete posts that fall foul of the rules?

A short while ago I submitted a post to this thread in which I accused the former RDF forum staff (Kevin Ronayne in particular) of the same heavy-handed tactics as Josh Timonen. I think I stated myself too mildly: Kevin Ronayne and co. were actually even worse in this regard.

Now I discover that my post has been removed. So very revealing. Cowardly covering up of dissent was also a distinguishing hallmark of the former RDF forum staff.

The fascists, it seems, have finally got a taste of their own bitter medicine.

If you'd read your PMs you'd find out why that post was moved. If you have an issue with that, respond to the PM.

The poster still shows 2 posts, so it's apparently been moved somewhere out of sight.

So if Josh Timonen registers an account, will he receive similar protection?

Fat chance. The double standards are plain for all to see.

This is a community of hypocritical gossip-mongers, who are too insecure and intellectually limited to reliably think clearly. You won't be missed.

I guess this post will be removed too. Zero tolerance of dissent, right? Just like the old RDF forum.

If Josh signs up here he gets a blank slate, like you did, like I did, like everybody here did. Live with that. Or leave.

Yes.

It's happened here before, where someone who was a literally persona non grata to most of the membership signed up. He was welcomed, and spent a good while as part of our community. Sure, some people didn't get on with him, but everyone who comes here and plays by the rules is welcome.

And Rule #1 here is Play Nice. Which you are distinctly not doing. Leave the snottiness at the door, please.

It wasn't deleted, it was moved.

You removed my post from this thread, transferring it to some obscure place where even if it is read at all, the context will no longer be apparent.

This dirty little trick was garden variety stuff back when Kevin Ronayne (who posts here under the username KLR) was administrator of the RDF forums.

Please grow up. People don't have the time or the energy here to do crap like that. Paranoia strikes deep....into your heart it will creep...

It was the mildest step I could have taken.

WTF are you talking about, Rummy? My post WAS taken to another thread. This is not up for debate: it's simply what happened.

Your post was a flagrant violation of the rules.
