He is biased against idiocy. That is quite an appropriate bias.

I think the point Spot was trying to make is that if there are 2 similar topics, the only difference being one named a LW President's wife and the other a RW Primeminister's wife - how do you decide that one is idiotic and the other isn't? Both were intended to be derogatory and they were both in Chat.

Oh, I see. The one attacking the right is deleted and that attacking the left is intact.

Goodo.

Michelle Obama is from the left and Marg Abbott is from the right. Maybe that's the reason the thread was considered idiotic and deleted?

At the risk of upsetting the righties - I've always thought 2 of Abbott's daughters look very masculine - even horse faced. They might have inherited that off their father though.

of course you do!!!!

I dont remember any other moderators deleting threads because they disagree with them or think they are "idiotic". I was wrong about andrei. He is biased and censors anything he doesnt agree with. This is evidenced by the fact the michelle obama thread is still there.

SOB

He is biased against idiocy. That is quite an appropriate bias. Faking polls that accept anonymous posting is another example of idiocy.

How do you fake a poll?

You would know. You continue to vote as a guest while logged out.

Hard to disagree Kat but Spot's thread was particularly idiotic and utterly pointless.

I didn't see it...

I said margaret abbott was a man

SOB

Quite grown up behaviour don't you think?
Razor sharp wit.

I notice the thread on Michelle Obama being a man is still there ...

letting your politics affect your judgement I thinks

Barack Obama is as left wing as I am.

Spot needs to grow up. A grown man acting like he does is embarrassing.

LW President?

Supports -
1. Active intervention militarily by drones (more attacks in Afghanistan and Pakistan have been ordered by him than Bush)
2. Right to bear arms
3. Death penalty for several offenses
4. Actively is pursuing Edward Snowden
5. Believes staunchly in the free market and capitalist principles

I could go on but seriously mantra, you tell me if Obama is LW?!

I deleted spots thread for no other reason that it was idiotic and something a 12 year old would put up.
Let alone a grown man in his 50s.

As I said - a lot of threads would be better deleted than shifted to a sub-forum.

nice attempt at deflection whilst avoiding the real issue ... by US standards, Obama is considered by many to be left wing. No one said he was as left wing as Hawke

Sure. Presumably the mods can be trusted to have some idea of quality control.

Are you saying the threads in question were not stupid?
