I think that William Cooper (Behold a Pale Horse) said it best:

“Listen to everyone. Read everything, believe nothing . . . until you can prove to yourself whether it is true or false or lies between the many shades of gray. If you don’t do this, if you cannot do this, or are just plain too lazy to do this, then I can assure you that you will march into the New World Order as a docile slave.”

Unfortunately, I think tags will be ascribed to people whose (sometimes and/or often) valid opinions are disliked. It's a form of shaming and social stigmatizing, as well as public humiliation. If you want to shut down any dissenting opinions, that is the perfect way to do it. Forcing users to carry labels is pretty much the way it was done in The Scarlet Letter. I'd like to think we've moved on a little since then.

Yes, I made that comment to Vindicator. But I've not had any run-ins with him/her and have accepted whatever ruling he/she wanted to make. And I've had a hell of a lot more accusations leveled at me. I don't care though. I know who I am; I know my principles. As I've said before, I'm a nobody on the other side of the world. I have no horse in the race. I ask for, and take, no money. I am here simply because I want children to be protected. I am labelled a 'nut' by some for believing in pizzagate, but I've been here since the beginning and know that something is really wrong in Washington DC. Still noone knows what happened to little Caris. Instead of all this infighting, we should be thinking of the innocent children like her and the horrible things they're forced to endure.

This is why I don't believe a word of what you say. You JIDF/MediaMatters shills always try to shoehorn in some kind of heartstring-tugging anecdote to make yourselves sound human. You're not.

And you are one of the users that, if we go forward with flairs, will be discussed until you can either apologize or support these words:

There is clearly one rule for the mods, who can and do call users 'cunts', and another rule for users, who get some of their pretty pertinent and relevant threads taken down.

... which I asked you to support 6 days ago now. You've had 6 days, and you've done nothing but pretend it didn't happen.

If we choose not to go with flairs, I've half a mind to gather this kind of evidence on every single one of you and present it under every submission and comment you make. Until the lot of you stop harassing and lying about my mods, I will go out of my way to ruin you.

The ball is in your court.

You want an apology? Sorry.

WHAT A GREAT APOLOGY!

Sorry for what, @Piscina? Why don't you elucidate what it is you're sorry for, and ping those you've wronged like a human would?

I'm not exactly sure what I'm sorry for, but I'm not going to die in a ditch because someone got their knickers in a knot for things that get said a lot here, and I don't see you demanding that they apologize. So I said sorry, which is what you asked for. Now you're changing the goalposts. I'm not sure who I'm supposed to ping--is it @Vindicator ? If so, there you go.

Nice try on commuting my online-only threats to your IRL health and well-being. I don't need to find you IRL to ruin you, despite what your handlers tell you. Or is it your handlers that are the danger to you?

and I don't see you demanding that they apologize.

Maybe you just have horrible timing. I'm done putting up with it for the time being, and had you done this before the Jem incident, I wouldn't have been around to care, most likely. The other mods are MUCH nicer than I am, and would shrug off your accusations and attacks for quite some time before pinging me to weigh in; that's when shit hits the fan for you disgusting shill fucks.

So I said sorry, which is what you asked for. Now you're changing the goalposts. I'm not sure who I'm supposed to ping--is it @Vindicator ? If so, there you go.

An apology is not just "Sorry." That's a petulant child's attempt at not properly apologizing, and it certainly shows no remorse or even an ounce of giving a fuck one way or the other, so I'm not moving the goalposts at all. I didn't want "Sorry." I wanted an apology. Even Jewgle has a decent bead on what an apology is:

Step 1: Express Remorse. Every apology needs to start with two magic words: "I'm sorry," or "I apologize." ...

Step 2: Admit Responsibility. Next, admit responsibility for your actions or behavior, and acknowledge what you did. ...

Step 3: Make Amends. ...

Step 4: Promise That It Won't Happen Again.
