* Yes, some religions, e.g. Buddhism, take a different position.

Also, for every immoral war of aggression, isn't there, of necessity, a corresponding war of defense in which the morality is more, er, defensable? While many men (perhaps yourself included) are honourable pacifists, there comes a point at which most people prefer to take up a gun to protect what is theirs.
( In Britain, during times of conscription, this point was neatly summed up like this: any conscripts displaying a reluctance to take up arms were asked this question- "If you saw an armed soldier raping your sister, what would you do?" Anyone who thought they would resort to violence was not thereafter considered a pacifist. )
Kind of the point is that laws come down from places of authority and are therefore designed to define and maintain their power. Deciding that war = murder would be decidedly against their best interests. Might as well ask Ted Bundy his opinion on getting into cars with strangers.

You are ****ing joking! He launched a personal attack against Chula's father, calling him a war criminal and a murderer. He ONLY did this BECAUSE it was Chula. This is the problem: there seems to be one rule for Chula and one for everyone else. This comment was clearly made in the knowledge that it would anger, upset and inflame Chula. And you, as a mod, who should be saying to Hawk hold on there, back off, you assist him! It's like being beat up by a guy, a cop comes along and you think oh thank god, and then the cop joins in the beating! You are a joke as a mod, you know that? You do what you like, to who you like, and nobody does anything about it.

And while I'm at it, the rest of you mods are just as much to blame if you don't step in and either stop this or confirm Hawk was in the wrong. It's in the rules, guys: no personal insults. How is that not a personal insult? How is Hawk not even being warned, never mind banned? Pathetic. This is why I was driven almost to leave here recently. It's a culture of ganging up and bullying that makes this place terribly hostile and totally unfair.

Hypocrisy and bad modding.

Face it, you and OH are simply in bed together when it comes to ME. I'm a big boy and can take it. Just really surprised the rest of the mods here put up with the hypocrisy in regards to family members.

It was just last fall that I posted about dropping everything and flying back east because everyone there thought my dad was dying. So pardon me if I'm a bit personally pissed with OH's reference towards him.

But, Frowny, you just won't get it. Hey, how are your parents doing these days?
This x 1000

Ipso facto OH thinks your dad is a war criminal. He just made it explicit. Don't use your family like a bomb in a debate and expect others to dive for cover.
No, Hawk went directly for the juglar calling Chula's dad a war criminal and a murderer. That's an insult, and a personal one.

Look at how Frownland writes:-


^ This is clearly Frown's opinion, which he leaves open to debate.



^ This is slipped into a sentence so that it reads as if it were an established fact. In saying something so contentious I think it would behove OH to make clear it's just his opinion.

I don't agree with Frownland's idea that fighting soldiers are war criminals and I have no reason to imagine that Chula's dad is anything other than a regular guy who deserves respect for raising a family and making it thus far in life.
And this too.

When are you, Frownland, ever going to even consider treating anyone, esp Chula, fairly? It doesn't matter that you don't like him, that you mock him and think all his opinions are ****. Fairness should be meted out regardless of status. You can't choose who you help and who you don't, just cos you don't like them. It's bullying at its worst, and it makes you not only a terrible mod, but a coward who won't recognise that something needs to be said. I would expect that if Exo were here he might have stepped in. You, on the other hand, just think it's all a great laugh, but you're abusing your mod powers (or in fact, not using them) by letting such insults pass. This definitely should have been dealt with, but you'd rather just join in with the beating, wouldn't you?

Oh and by the way, make all the PMS jokes you want, post crying baby gifs, but this was a step beyond and it's nothing short of disgusting. Hawk not only stepped over the line, he leaped over it. And now he'll keep doing so, because quite clearly you're openly supporting such behaviour, and he knows nothing will happen to him. Well done.

Oh and Hawk? **** you: you're a disgusting human being. Just thought you should know.

Yes that's an insult. Ban me if you want. It will only prove how biased your modding is, as we all know it is anyway.
