@Medievalist has been given a timeout for repeatedly derailing topics with meta-conversations about BBS posters, or otherwise responding to discussions by taking issue with the poster, rather than the post.
As I’ve said many times, the BBS is heavily moderated, and that’s not going to change. We welcome debate of topics and ideas within the confines of our community guidelines, but that welcome ends where the comment does. We don’t permit comments that target users themselves, rather than the comments they make.
For anyone wondering: that means if you don’t want to deal with a forum with a diverse user base, with many, divergent opinions, across the spectrum of race, gender, and background, this isn’t the place for you. I’m delighted to say, however, that this is the place for any mutant who is willing to tolerate others, even when their opinions or worldview might differ from your own.
