When having to admit their fault the moderator started looking for arbitrary reasons to ban me. Such as not using the exact terminology of the Amnesty report. Which does not call it genocide.


The moderator is also watching user votes, and calling out people not voting with him.

    • You still don’t get it. goat conceded the point that the report doesn’t literally alledge genocide, but “only” serious human rights abuses targeted at a specific demographic.

      But goat also says that focusing in on the exact verbiage is besides the point. Serious human rights abuses are serious human rights abuses. It muddies the waters and distracts from the core problem.

      Up until this point, you hadn’t broken any rules. But after goat concedes the verbiage to you, he directly asks you to clarify that you do at least acknowledge the human rights abuses as alleged in the report.

      You do, but immediately deflect by stating US and European imperialism is worse. Such relativist statements are against the rules, landing you the first violation. When warned and asked to condemn it regardless, you doubled down on the relativism and also denied the targeting based on ethnicity, which resulted in your 24h ban.

      Any zionism or pro-Israeli propaganda is frankly irrelevant as it is entirely disconnected from the justification for your ban. I don’t need to like goat or agree with anything else he said (and I don’t, as already indicated), but you did violate the rules as stated and that’s ultimately what matters.

      It’s 24 hours for a genuine rule violation, a fairly minor sanction even. You weren’t banned for challenging goat, and he didn’t abuse his mod powers to silence you for challenging him. Based on the rules, I would have banned you too.
