Its very telling of you when only I get blocked but not him
Your like Twitter, only block the people you don't like, not your own people
He linked to an article that called me a piece of ****, an ******* and a few other curse words
When it's in jest it makes it ok?
When I didn't even curse, just a few symbols
Next time I'll put a link to a website that actualy says it, bc it seems from you that that's ok
(Maybe mine was in jest also)
I asked you to read the forum rules before returning. They clearly state that you must use the PM system and not a public post to discuss forum moderation. This is now your 2nd strike/suspension for violating a rule and this is your final warning, so I'd highly suggest you read the rules carefully if you want to stay here:

1. I fail to see how anything is telling at all. One is a meme from someone who rarely agrees with you but did in this case and was an obviously in jest, one was an f-bomb which is against forum rules and had zero indication of being in jest. The fact that you added asterisks after the f does not help your rule violation or make it less profane.
2. I disagree with many posters on the forum, but no, I don't suspend or ban them for that. People have also strongly challenged my positions publicly and sent me some very nasty PMs, but I didn't suspend them for that either. There are rules and obviously it's up to me and the other mods to decide where to draw the lines. It's an art, not a science.
3. Tensions are understandably high. I've had to suspend or ban a handful of members in the past 2 months, which is more than I have in the 12 previous years. We've had several members leave on their own volition due to a lack of moderation and suspension of abusive posters. I've long prized the lack of moderation and suspensions on DDF and it's depressing to have to crack down, but c'est la vie. I gave warning of that here:
