Greg is busy and he leaves the moderation to cover must of the duties.  That's how he does it.

I, quite frankly, call bullshit on that.  I'm busy too.  I run a business with about $2M in sales 5 days a week, and usually have some part in it every day.  We're all busy.  He just doesn't want to be there.

True, I left when I was the one who got shut down for calling out a troll,

I got a warning point - from MH, as a matter of fact - for telling a guy who repeatedly referenced white supremacist sites which he claimed were reliable, that this showed he had poor judgement. This is the frustrating part about the crazies. You can't call them out on their idiotic claims. You can't say their claims are stupid. You are expected to respectfully debate them. But as you are aware, you can't debate these people. They will concede nothing, however obvious, and continue to make absurd claims without regard to the legitimacy of their 'evidence'. The Turkish chick was another such poster, thankfully gone. Charles particularly seemed to be protective of her, and I gave up after a few tries and just put her on my ignore list.

I think we're saying the same thing, ie. people prioritize things.  The revenue from a free online forum probably doesn't warrant much time, IMO.

Yes, because you went after the person not the argument.

I agree that it's frustrating but I can't make up rules.  For that matter, there seems to be more touchiness about certain things than others, eg. disparaging sources.  Not sure why.

So I should consider myself warned.... if I post an eloquent 20 page post with F*** YOU Argus at the end of it, it could just be deleted.  Got it. ;)

I prefer to let conversations flow.

which will result in a like shytehole that MLW became... where one could research a topic for hours and put together a most detailed/lengthy post... only to have it PURPOSELY buried by the usual suspects who would PURPOSELY proceed to introduce/enable, quite literally, pages of off-topic bullshyte. Of course, when I would take objection to this PURPOSEFUL tactic... and move to repeat a prior buried post, the MLW moderating clown-show, would typically throw warning fits for repeating a prior post.

Trolling is a hilarious topic because 1/2 the people want you to ban one set of people and the other 1/2 want you to ban the other set.

that's rich! Concerned MLW posters simply wanted a precise definition of trolling defined... and properly and CONSISTENTLY enforced. Instead, that azzholeChas played word/mind games in purposely refusing to properly define the MLW Board's definition of trolling... and would purposely inflame a concerned and expressed membership by refusing to enforce the trolling offenses of the most egregious trolling offenders. I'm quite sure the ChasMan relished the forced drama he created - it's always good for ratings - up to the point contributing membership walks given all the forced MLWModeratingDrama.

I take great pride in my ability to be a hypocrite.
