-Removed-It is time to stop fretting about this situation.
Russ and the moderators both knew before deciding to leave the post in place that I would leave the site if the post remained. I know because I told them both.
I can take a hint. I have experienced this before and know that I just do not belong here.
"I don't know what it's like to be black, but I do know what it's like to be treated like a black in the 1950's" (the quote is mine and is in the book, Chess Bitch, Women in the Ultimate Intellectual Sport.

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyGrampy Bobby, I can't think of anyone on this web site who has waved the possibility of a forum ban in the faces of people ~ i.e. those who you didn't like or who were unimpressed by you and said so ~ for their "behaviour" - as often as you have? Countless times. Over and over again. Sometimes more than once in a day. A newcomer might have been forgiven for thinking this was your own web site.
Forum Ban Nominations (2015)
Since there's been a recent surge in opinions here about site members who should be given a forum ban, let's formalize this cause celeb with your thoughtful and objectively focused nominations:
[b]Nomination Ballot:
[b]1) Which active site member should receive a forum ban; for how long;
and why referencing RHP Terms of Service or Forum Guidelines?
In all that time, have you ever thought of waving the threat of a potential forum ban at RJHinds for his often crass and insulting posts? I can't remember you ever doing it. You've made the threat numerous times ~ carefully copy pasting stuff from the site's FAQ or whatever ~ ad nauseam. Ever done it because of RJHinds' "behaviour"?
The offending thread has gone now, and the original creator of the thread has had posting privileges removed for a short while for using these forums to post his extreme views, and little else.
Long overdue, you may think, but generally people are entitled to post their views without interference (it would not be much of a debates forum if they couldn't).
O.k., I read the whole thing now, sort of.
And I disagree. You crying babies are spoiled little snowflakes.
Grow a thicker skin. This kind of sniveling is what is creating a
generation of wussies who require trigger warnings and develop
PTSD because someone called you "fat" online.
The solution? Do not click. Don't feed the troll. Turn off the damn
computer.
But who am I to judge? You all just badgered Russ into deleting
a thread, so you all won. RHP forums are now a little bit dumber
thanks to you al whiners.
P.S. I don't dig those RJHinds threads either, but I will survive.

Give them double portion.

Ok, I just came from library with some McEwan's stuff, Elia Kazan's novel Arangement etc., so I missed the solution was made. Even better so.
