Thanks for the podcast @JardyB10

Wooo

I'll pin my fist to your face.

This already goes beyond his current comments anyways which you may have not noticed or have background to I suppose. He is persona non grata already so saying is a member of the community at this point is really only a technicality as I mentioned before. I don't actually believe an eye for an eye since that phrase is often used out of context. This is more comparable unrestricted warfare against an enemy combatant. If you feel you really want to lawyer it out this part of the clause more or less covers it.

Its not unlike me finding it baffling you feel that someone that holds human rights violations stances deserves the same protection and respect afforded to the community they are attacking.

Its actually such a scary thought for real.

This is all addressed by this and the VHL is a private community and the direction is governed by the management of this league and the discretion of the mod team. Its easier to explain that it isn't an opinion of 20-30% But rather 20-30% of people are wrong in treating women as anything less than a person equal that of a man. Much like a % of people believe in flat earth theory or that some people are wrong scientifically, these people are also wrong in believing that a woman doesn't get to control what happens to their own wellbeing or giving them the choice. Here is where our interpretations come into play. My interpretations and assessment is that these rulings are not opinions but a matter of right and wrong (in the case of human rights especially) and are not open to "opinions". At the end of the day, despite what the rules you feel may be lawyered, I have a responsibility to interpret and assess risks and the harmful nature of situations to the community and act as required. Complaints of this nature of my conduct can be reported to other mods as they can investigate and launch inquiries on other mod team members as can commish level staff. If you feel the reasoning behind my actions is unjust, you are encouraged to report these actions (we also have an anonymous reporting function that will also launch inquiries. I would not handle my own investigation. In reply to the originating statement I feel it is an in-line and appropriate response. I will not tolerate those kinds of remarks on any such level.

Yes and no, there is a bit more tolerance and discussionary threads in OT and thunderdome are generally easier to manage from a modding point so you're free to discuss this unless a mod shuts it down.

That's what I feel people on that side don't understand. Its literally giving people choice. But no pro lifer really cares about the kid after 1 years, where is that funding for education, the cost of therapy for a young unready mother, opportunity cost for lost career development. Adoption systems or medical or anything else they don't even consider the cost and the risk to peoples livelihoods.

I had this discussion elsewhere but I'll give you the TLDR. To me there is no "opinion" here that one can side with. There is a right and there is a wrong. There is a 1+1 = 2 here, not "I like strawberry over blueberry". So just stating that fact and I am going to die on this hill. There is no way in hell I would let someone decide what I get to do with my balls, so there is no way in hell I would allow myself or someone else dictate what a woman should do with theirs. If there was a legitimate "opinion" here regardless of which side you choose there would pros and cons and likely a zero sum gain/loss. Those are what I pose as legitimate opinions. In this case I assessed that a certain viewpoint or category of statements are incredible harmful and damaging to an important group of people at the VHL. As mandated by my appointment and position, and even if you don't necessarily believe in my direction of this situation, I stand by my decision to protect this community and group of people in our community from people making those statements. Let me perfectly clear on my stance here. There is no politics, there is no opinion. There is a right and wrong and I did what was necessary to remove one problem from this community. Even worse was the backpedaling or the attempted "joke bait" depending how you want to deem it but I will not compromise my principles to safeguard members here that would feel threatened or unsafe with allowing those "pov" to remain here. I will not be a bystander in this situation.

Correct but you can have an overall popularity vote win and still lose because of constituency values or the number of seats you win.

So, you think that people decide to have abortions on whim? Like with no reason whatsoever and no thought to their wellbeing or I mean...you know just to shoot the shit with? In what world do you think people have abortions for fun or without meaning?

I mean its not really politics. I just think your valuation and beliefs are fundamentally wrong and damaging to people here.

No canada doesn't win through popular vote, its also still using an electoral college voting system. We just call it seats.

Oh no I was just saying I don't like you. Also this forum isn't America and it isn't governed by such laws but I feel from a personal stand point you should leave and find other people of your mindset. Also I believe your thought process and views are highly damaging to our community.
