was banned from great awakening for nothing. A post from trumps rally last night regarding Lisa Page. They are reminiscent of youtube, reddit, Twitter and Facebook. Shameful

I've contributed quite a bit the great awakening.. Even had a sticky post recently. I think it's wrong of you to ban a person for as you say "an effortless post". Makes you no better than the corporate media who bans contributors. It's rather Machiavellian. You are no better than those you prevent to distain. Shame on you!

Sorry for hijacking your post. Needed someplace to vent.

he doesn't unban people who disagree with him. Why am I still banned @Vindicator?

Your former mod banned me for a comment, then resigned.

Most migrations had a significant portion of the population flee.

I believed in the filter until I saw what the filter was, and who was left after it was used.

Entire migrations were rebuffed thanks to your bullshit. My modlog isn't a drop of water in that ovean.

yep. dont feed the trolls

dont start censoring speech

Wow. Just like reddit. Die in a fire.

This makes me so happy.

You ignore the Trolls, but you jump all over the users that are legitimate whenever they do something you don't like.

It makes me so happy to know that this still bothers you so much.

Actually most people did to him what you're supposed to do to trolls and ignored him.

Victim-blaming.

Keep defending your free speech while so many have been completely silenced by your policies.

Remember when I destroyed zyklon, and nobody did anything about it, but continued to associate with him and let him do his thing? Remember when an innocent woman was doxxed by you? Remember when you worked with a literal Reddit cabal to change this website with Builder?

@kek

Still on this?

Watch nothing happen. Watch nothing continued to happen.

Looks like you've gone above and beyond on the Buck research. Well done. Could have solved a lot if you'd just done that and posted to help darkknight get his post in line with the rules. You know, that's the entire point of the 24h flair, right? So users can help bring submissions in line.

Can I appeal?

No.

You can:

1) Make a public apology to everyone for shitting up darkknight's post with meta BS

2) Make a public apology to me and Vindicator for trying to drive a wedge between us with the false dichotomy of "which one is right" when it was both a swamp takedown AND rule-breaking submission. i.e. this horseshit. Explain how the flairs are not opposing, since one is a celebration of a bad guy going down, and the other is a formatting warning.

3) Make a public apology for pitting mods against previous missed posts that may or may not have violated the rules despite the subject-matter being the same. (Not all posts about the same subject are equal, you know, like how the original post and its current iteration land on different sides of the rules)

3) Remove any and all meta shitstirring crap against the mods, since all you're doing is trying to rabble-rouse those that want to destroy places like PG and GA, and giving them an 'in' to do so, evidenced by your pinging PV and SBBH users.

There will be no arguments. There will be no negotiation. This is your one shot, and it's all you get. Snark will be taken as a repudiation of this offer.

Ball's in your court.

@vindicator @shewhomustbeobeyed @darkknight111

Ed Buck here, 25 years older, and many centuries wiser. When we recalled Mecham, I was still a Republican. I didn't leave the Republican Party, it left me. I can remember Barry Goldwater saying "out of the boardroom and out of the bedroom" when referring to the role of government. That's the GOP I was a proud member of. Then I can remember Newt's "Contract with America". I wonder if we can sue the GOP for violating the terms of our agreement. My principals have not changed, but to keep true to them, my political party had to change.

Ed Buck-West Hollywood.

Fundamental to Pizzagate is the belief that a valid government has the authority to say no child rape happens in your bedroom.

Ed Buck is Pizzagate. Period.

I found the motherlode that clearly ties Ed Buck to Pizzagate back in 2017

https://www.wehoville.com/2019/01/09/ed-buck-recounting-history/

EDITOR’S NOTE: This story originally was published by WEHOville in April 2017. Ed Buck now is back in the news because of the discovery of a dead African-American man in his Laurel Avenue apartment on Monday. This story recounts the history of this prominent white and gay West Hollywood man.

Who is Ed Buck? Those who follow politics in West Hollywood know him as the guy whose successful campaign for a ban on fur sales helped propel City Councilmember John D’Amico into office in 2011. He’s also known for his tenacious digging into City Hall records to make a claim that credit cards were being misused. And he is known for his financial support for local, county, state and national Democratic Party candidates.

Another side to Buck has come to light lately with the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department announcing it is opening an investigation into the death in Buck’s Laurel Avenue apartment on July 27 of a young African-American man named Gemmel Moore, who was a self-confessed prostitute. The L.A. County Coroner’s Office had ruled the death an accident caused by an overdose of methamphetamine, a highly addictive and dangerous drug that is popular among some gay men. The Sheriff’s Department says that drugs and drug paraphernalia were found at Buck’s apartment.

That side of Buck has drawn little comment from local political figures, although the Stonewall Democratic Club, an LGBT political group, last week asked Buck to step down from his position on its steering committee. But it has attracted a lot of attention from the right-wing media here and abroad, including publications such as the Drudge Report; TruNews, a Christian news site; Political VelCraft, a right-wing conspiracy site, and Voat.com, a website that promotes conspiracy theories such as PizzaGate. Stories on those sites call out Buck’s financial support for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, his homosexuality, his alleged attraction to young African-American men and his alleged drug use.

Recently LGBT African-American activists also have begun to speak out, calling for an investigation into Moore’s death. Ashlee Marie Preston, the transgender African-American editor of “Wear Your Voice,” an online feminist publication, has written about an odd experience she had with Buck. “Moore’s death is centered around power dynamics, a wealthy white politico and his deadly fetishization of disenfranchised black men,” Preston wrote. And Jasmyne Cannick,a black communications and public affairs strategist, has called out Moore’s death on her website with the headline “Journal Documents How Wealthy Democratic Donor Hooked Young Black Gay Man on Meth Before His Death.”

Edward Bernard Peter Buckmelter (he changed his last name to Buck in 1983) was born into a middle-class family in Steubenville, Ohio, on Aug. 24, 1954. When he was six he moved with his parents, a brother and two sisters to Phoenix, Ariz. “My childhood was uneventful as hell,” he said in an interview with the Arizona Republic in June 1987.

Ed Buck in 1987 (Arizona Republic)

Buck attended a Catholic elementary school and graduated from North High School and Phoenix College. Buck has described his father as a “longtime alcoholic.” As a child, Buck himself was a handful according to his mother, who was interviewed in October 1987 by E.J. Montini of the Arizona Republic. “The dean of boys had a hot line to my phone at work,” she said, speaking of Buck’s high school years. “I’d answer the phone and say, ‘All right, what is it this time?’”

Buck came out to his parents as gay at the age of 16 and, while attending college, won a three-month internship that took him to Yugoslavia. In his profile, the Arizona Republic’s Montini says that a year after that Buck returned to Europe and was offered a spot as an extra in a TV commercial. Buck stayed in Europe for five years, living in Paris and Amsterdam, where he worked as a fashion model and appeared in movies and magazines. He also modeled in Japan for Wrangler jeans. Buck returned to Arizona in 1980 and began working for a friend as a bicycle courier.

In his interview with Montini, Buck said he worked for the Arizona franchise of Rapid Information Services, a business owned by a friend that provided driver’s license information to insurance companies. Despite his lack of business experience, and the business’s poor financial situation (his friend ran it out of a one-bedroom apartment), Buck saw great potential in it. A year and a half after joining and helping build the business, Buck bought it out of bankruptcy for $250,000 and renamed it Gopher Courier. Five years later he sold it for what he said in another interview was “more than a million dollars profit.”

Very wealthy at the age of 32, Buck took risks, opening a restaurant and getting into the pay telephone business, on both of which he lost money. He owned a $280,000 house on top of a hill near Squaw Peak (now known as Piestewa Peak), a mountain outside of Phoenix. He also, according to a story in the Gayly Oklahoman newspaper, had entered into a relationship with a Chippendale dancer.

Buck found new meaning in his life with the election in 1987 of Evan Mecham, a Republican, as Arizona’s 17th governor. Mecham was a controversial figure, not least because of his decision to end Martin Luther King Day as a paid holiday for state employees, his claim that high divorce rates were caused by women holding jobs and his description of African-American children as “pickaninnies.” Then there were the accusations that he misused state funds and failed to disclose a $350,000 campaign loan.

Ed Buck named Grand Marshal at the International Gay Rodeo’s 1989 Arizona event.

Buck launched a successful effort to impeach Mecham, leading the Arizona Republic to describe Buck as a “millionaire, self-acknowledged homosexual and registered Republican” who was “destined to go down in history as one of Arizona’s most unlikely political figures.”

The impeachment campaign was a rough one, with Buck attacked because he was gay. It also resulted in publicity about Buck’s arrest for “public sexual indecency” in an adult bookstore in 1983. Buck pleaded guilty and paid a fine, and the charge was dismissed. He claimed a cop had seen him grab the crotch of a friend. Buck also was called out for trying to get a drugstore to fill a fake prescription for Percocet, a highly addictive drug that contains oxycodone. In an interview in 1988 with the Washington Blade, Buck said he had made a copy of an existing prescription and needed to fill it because of pain from a root canal. Buck was indicted by a Maricopa (Ariz.) County grand jury on a charge of “attempting to obtain a narcotic through fraud or deceit.” A judge agreed to dismiss charges against Buck if he would be tested weekly for drug use for one year.

Given that Buck was openly gay, and that Mecham was known as homophobic (he once said during a radio interview that he would ask for a list of gay state employees, implying he would fire them), Buck became somewhat of an LGBT community hero. In 1989, for example, he was named Grand Marshal of the International Gay Rodeo in Arizona. Yet Buck didn’t identify with some parts of the gay community. In his interview with the Washington Blade, Buck criticized some for their flamboyance. “We dress up, we see guys in their best leather, others in their best dresses, marching down the street,” he said. “These people do not represent the majority of gay people, who would never wear costumes. And it drives the semi-closeted and moderate gay people underground.”

Switching Parties

In 1988 at a Republican Party conference in Oklahoma City, Buck called for changes in the party’s “intolerant” stand on LGBT rights in Oklahoma, which included opposition to state-mandated sex education programs in schools. Unable to make major changes in his political party, Buck soon switched allegiances. In an online post in 2010, he explained his decision. “I didn’t leave the Republican Party, it left me. I can remember Barry Goldwater saying ‘out of the boardroom and out of the bedroom’ when referring to the role of government. That’s the GOP I was a proud member of … My principals have not changed, but to keep true to them, my political party had to change.”

I will crosspost my reply from your v/whatever hit piece:

You can't point to a rule violation. Thus your ban is arbitrary

@Crensch's ban is not arbitrary.

I screwed up and should not have given Darkknight's submission the Swamp Takedown flair prior to him stating clearly how Buck is likely connected to pizzagate. The only reason Crensch got involved to correct the matter was because while I was AFK, users DMed him that we had deleted most previous posts about Buck ^{(a fact you were well aware of, since you had to scan through multiple deleted submissions to find one that was missed to use against him)}, so he changed the flair. @Darkknight111 fixed his submission and Crensch changed the flair back. This is the normal ins and outs of modding v/pizzagate.

However, you decided to interfere in this process, capitalizing on my mistake and using it to undermine Crensch's request that Darkknight fix his submission. You then proceeded to shit up another user's submission by arguing with Crensch, instead of helping DK demonstrate the pizzagate relevance, which is the whole purpose of the 24 Hour Grace flair.

Both of these behaviors are hallmarks of dishonest, consensus-cracking forum disruptors we've seen attack v/pizzagate numerous times in the past, most notably @EsotericShade, who has waged a long campaign against v/pizzagate moderation.

Crensch was correct in his assessment of Darkknight's original submission. Crensch gave you a clear warning to stop, yet you persisted in baiting him. Therefore, I put the odds at more than even you did all this deliberately so that you would be banned and could make this post to fuel the Crensch bashing club.

I thought "swamp" indicated Pizza/Pedos....hence it being a flair in pizzagate...I've also lurked for years as ya'll know....why I was confused as to why "Ed Buck" a name I know I'd read submissions on b4 was getting removed.

As you know from searching to find an Ed Buck submission that got left up that you could quote, most Buck submissions were removed. You are playing games.

TLDR: Why am I banned for "relevance"....for defending a relevant post....

Because the post violated Rule 1 the way it was originally submitted. By defending it, you are undermining Rule 1, which opens the board to forum sliding. You also attempted to pit one mod against another.

Why should someone who behaves in this manner be allowed to continue as part of v/pizzagate?

You have contributed a lot of good research, but you also only seem to be able to go a few weeks without shitstirring in a manner that looks an awful lot like a part of the real and ongoing campaign against v/pg moderation. I am genuinely on the fence about whether you should be unbanned.

pretty much every ban crensch gives out boils down to 'because i fucking can'
