Merit has said misogynistic and homophobic **** for years. He's gotten the reputation of using personal insults and attacking people over debates rather than debating. This history builds the context to why he got banned, why we call him a bigot, etc.

This despicable persona he's built is the reason why people pick on him. Because people like seeing despicable people get pissed off. It's entertaining. That's also why the moderators have a double standard whether they realize it or not. Why people can say **** about his son or insult him for hours but the moment HE says something they all of a sudden enforce rules. That's politics though. You can't escape biased moderation. In this case, at least the bias wasn't petty.

Most of the rest is playful banter, except when they let Bat or OH do that thing where they look for a loose thread to pull so they can watch people unravel.





The complaint, WWWP, isn't that they want strict moderation, it's that they want FAIR moderation. You know that wasn't a luxury given to merit.
Report posts that you think should be moderated to help us see through our bias. Thanks.

Nothing was said. It's the principle.

I try that route but end up getting called fascist in recent polls.

He was talking something about not tipping a waiter over some petty bull**** while at dinner with his son and I said if I was the waiter I'd poison his food or something and Merit took that to mean I'd poison his son too so I responded that I'd have to get to know his son better before I poisoned him too. I think that's basically how it went.
