    Because it's a big deal and Mark quickly wears out his welcome wherever he goes. He likes this place because he knows it will accept him.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    On the simple face of it, the moderation seems compromised by this.

    I suspect what you see is moderators responding to attacks from ass-hats.

    The moderators go to lengths to not respond to attacks. But that is not an open door for abuse.

    Nice avatar, by the way. I never thought Thanksgiving could be arousing.

    I am mainly seeing moderators defending their right to insult people and then moderate the same threads. Hey, if that's what everyone wants, so be it. I don't post here enough to really give a crap about it.
