No. He is busy scrubbing the shit off his body just now, Kim Jong Un having ejected him from his bum.

So much for being the master of the art of the deal. As if anyone but him and his deluded followers have not noticed that he isn't.

Rule 1 of deal making; dont walk away. Cant make a deal if you leave the table. Un made the standard opening; demand everything. Nothing wrong with that.

I think Trump had the script written but Un did not like the part.

Cunt, despite a previous warning, you have made a series of posts which are viewed by the moderators as malicious trolling. Examples include:

http://www.rationalia.com/forum/viewtop ... 9#p1818489

http://www.rationalia.com/forum/viewtop ... 5#p1818545

You are thus suspended for one week. A continuation when you return will result in further suspensions.

Given that you were warned for trolling, and that your response was to troll the moderators, this suspension can be regarded as self inflicted.
Wow - that's against the rules?

Clearly, Cunt is not permitted milquetoast shit-taking against other posters here, but if you look at what you guys let others get away toward him, and others, it's not even close.

This is some serious bullshit right here, JimC. You know it, I suspect.

He posted that he says it's funny that others defend Islam here? He's not allowed to shit-post a little, like others do here?

Come on Rationalia moderators. You're better than this.

This is not allowed on Rationalia -- "<this response hidden due to your current suspension>" I'm sure there's some nuanced, yet unspecified, context that makes this a suspension-worthy comment, whereas direct, personal attacks on others doesn't merit a mention.

And, Jim C -- this is hilarious --

Nah, just enjoying how vigorously many of you defend Islam from critics. It's hard to tell you guys from muslim adherents.

Pervin there accuses Cunt of having Tourettes syndrome. Cunt responds that he is just enjoying how many of you (not even directly the comment to anyone in particular) defend Islam, and it's hard to tell them from Muslim adherents.

It's no big deal to mock someone as if they have Tourettes syndrome, but joking that opposing posters sound like they're defending Islam and that it's hard to tell them from Muslim adherents gets a ban.

What the actual fuck?

Rule #1 is to research the lie of the land by sending in your subordinates to sound out what is possible and what is not with the other side's deputies first. The result should then be pretty much a foregone solution. Donald Trump seems to have thought that he can somehow wing it on the spot without such preparation. Theresa May keeps making the same mistake, presuming of course that she intends to come to an agreement in the first place.

By the time the ‘top of the pyramid’ meets the details should normally be settled, as you say. It Trump is truly as incompetent as this outcome suggests it is downright criminal considering the potential consequences.

Yes. Intentional, malicious trolling is against the rules. Are you by any chance arguing that our member from Yellowknife has not engaged in this on a continual basis?

A little milquetoast shit-taking? You're fucking kidding, and if you think that his trolling is not even close compared to what others get away toward him, keep reporting the relevant posts. It took me maybe a dozen (I did not keep count on them) reports to convince the mods that our member from Yellowknife needs to be given a suspension for his trolling. I will keep reporting his rule infractions until he changes his ways after returning from one of them. You can do the same concerning other members. Our mods are not deaf to reason.

I'm arguing that he's not doing anything that isn't regularly done to him.

I also see such shit-posting and trolling done to me as well, and in a far more direct and profane way.

Look at one of the reports that got him the week suspension. He was RESPONDING to being mocked falsely for having "Tourettes." He responded with a shit-post retort, which didn't even directly attack a specific person - just referred to "some of you." And, alluded to the view that some appear to be defending Islam.

Why would he get suspended and the shitposter who said his Tourettes was acting up wouldn't?

And, all the times I'm accused these days of being a Russian troll, and other nasty comments.

That hasn't been my experience.

You know, responding to a post where one member says your Tourettes is flaring up, and responding by saying "some of you here defend Islam..." is mild, no mater how you slice it. The reality of the situation is that some folks want shit-posting to go one way, and they deem attacks on others as Russian trolls, dishonest, liars, haters, racists, and defenders of Russia, are all justified by the context -- it's like "oh, in my case, my attacks on you were true and justified..."

I'm giving you my opinion on what moderation looks like. I'm sure others have different opinions.
