 Isn't it fascinating that the only request for censorship
 we've heard on FFL (forbidding any commentary about posters
 who go over the posting limit) comes from one of the small
 handful of people who have most gone over the posting limit,
 and after one day is already halfway to doing so again this
 week? 
 
 What's next on the censorship agenda, banning comments about 
 poor math skills, lack of self control, and obsession?  :-)

What I find even funnier is to hear this cry for censor-
ship being called for out of fairness.

The way some people think, being fair means watching 
someone get their buttons pushed by someone else here, 
lose all sense of self control (and even the ability 
to count), and get so bent behind the need to attack 
another poster or defend themselves that they go over
the posting limit and get banned for a week.

Then, according to the censors, what the rest of us --
who *didn't* do this stuff, and are still well within
our limit of posts for the week -- are supposed to do 
to be fair to these idiots is to sit there in silence
and not say a word about their childish behavior. It 
would be unfair to do so because they are around to 
respond or defend themselves. 

WTF? Responding and defending themselves is what got
their asses banned for a week in the first place. They
couldn't control themselves. I think it's in their 
*interest* to have people laugh at them and poke a little 
fun at how easily they get their buttons pushed, because 
then they might actually learn a little something and be 
less likely to do it in the future. :-)

I'd say this is doubly true if the person who has been
consigned to the posted out bench claims to be enlightened.
WTF? I mean, you're claiming to be enlightened and you 
can't even count well enough and be in control of your 
emotions enough to keep from making more than 50 posts 
a week? Get real. You DESERVE to have people laugh at 
you and poke fun at you while you're away. 

Bottom line is that there are only a handful of people 
who have EVER gone over the posting limit since it's been
established. Interestingly, most of that handful consists
of the group I've been calling Gladys Knight and the Pips,
and most of *them* have gone over the limit and gotten
banned for a week multiple times. 

And yet WHO is saying it's not fair for the rest of us
to be able to comment on posters who get stupid over and
over again and go over the limit over and over again? 
Hm. Makes you think that the cry for censorship 
isn't about being fair but a preemptive attempt to get
other posters to stop making comments about *them* when 
*they* go over the posting limit again, doesn't it?

I know a simpler, three-step solution:

1. LEARN TO FUCKIN' COUNT, like the rest of us.

2. STOP BEING LED AROUND BY YOUR EGO-DICK. You 
don't need to respond to everyone who describes you 
differently than you'd like to be described. To do so 
is a sign of weakness, not strength. Grow the fuck up.

3. IF YOU DON'T DO THIS, SUCK IT UP WHEN 
THE REST OF US LAUGH AT YOU LIKE THE DORKS 
YOU ARE.

Barry couldn't run his various numbers and prop up his
self-image if he had to be fair. For him, fairness
*would* be censorship. He genuinely can't tell the
difference.

Again, this post is a superb example of Barry's utter
unwillingness to be fair, as well as his inability, as
I said before, to comment honestly and accurately on
anything that takes place on FFL.

The weirdest part of this is that *he doesn't realize
how transparent his motivations are* to everybody but
him. ZERO self-knowledge.

No kidding. This post is so revealing of what a crummy
human being he is. Not to mention how illogical his
thinking is. He accuses me of advocating censorship,
then proceeds to advocate it himself, as in what you
quote above: it's perfectly fine to demonize people,
even lie about them, but it's not OK for them to 
respond. The free speech zone Barry waxes so
eloquent about when it comes to his right to demonize
and lie about the people he doesn't like goes rapidly
out the window when it comes to their right to
respond.

And note that it's censorship, in his mind, to ask
folks to delay their impulse to demonize for a week.
That impulse must be allowed to be indulged
*immediately*; it can't wait until the banned
overposter is back. What does that say about the
self-control of the demonizers? Is that supposed to
be a sign of strength?

FWIW, I've participated in a number of moderated
groups in which no public comment on a moderation was
permitted, at the time *or* later. I've never seen
*anybody* scream that it was censorship. They'd have
been laughed off the forum if they had.

The LEARN TO FUCKIN' COUNT, like the rest of us
command is also pretty funny. The rest of us don't
typically get so close to 50 posts that they even
*need* to count. If they did, most of them would go
over occasionally too; nobody's as obsessive as Barry
about keeping track.

And as I said before, the idea that once in a while
accidentally going over by one or two posts somehow
destroys what the posting limits were designed to
control is simply ludicrous; there's no need to be
obsessive about it. If someone is overposting
repeatedly and deliberately, that's a different story.
But that's obviously not happening.

The reason *Barry* is so obsessive about the posting
limits, and why he agitated for them in the first place,
is that it gives him yet another *excuse* to demonize
the folks he doesn't like and lie about them without
fear of rebuttal (as he does about Robin below).

Yup, he sure is a charmer.
