"I'm concerned with all sorts of views, especially those I think are morally perverse.

Ridiculous views deserve ridicule (and refutation).

"So what's the best way of going about handling something like this. Here are two options: 1) Immediately censor any posts that offend someone who has suffered a history of abuse, or 2) Publically question the intentions of the person posting such offending items, to determing whether they mean to be offensive or are being unintentionally insensitive. Initially, RHP chose the second way, with Prad and sangeeta and ranjana and others criticizing Cribs' posts. Cribs specifically disavowed any intention of glorifying violence against women in that thread."

No level of profanity would be offensive to me (I've heard and used 'em all) but I recognize that the community doesn't want (expletive deleted) this, (expletive deleted), etc. I think that's a reasonable viewpoint which really doesn't inhibit the free exchange of ideas that the forums are for. So that's fine with me.
So playing the same old game of trying to distort people's views by selective, out of context quotation, eh, Buddy? Some people never learn.

Originally posted by ivanhoeInteresting; after your "Nazi", "scum" "brown trash" etc. etc. etc. rampage of only a few days ago now you're condemning flamming wars???? Are you shooting for hypocrite of the century??
"Flaming wars; HMMM; sometimes I like 'em; they can have cathartic properties! ... "
No1
In the same paragraph:
I guess what I'm saying is that I have no strong feelings against moderating long, drawn out flame wars but I want the mods to allow a significant bit of leeway.
Again out of context quotation. Try telling the truth for once, Buddy.

No1: "You have your debating style; I have mine. To me, sarcasm is just like satire which has been a legitimate tool of political debates since at least Aristophanes. I believe my style is more effective than yours is quickly making points and if people want to present ridiculous notions then they should be ridiculed. Surely you're not suggesting that sarcasm should be a sufficient ground for moderation? "
