    LOL. Got Banned at the Zone

    vBulletin Message

    You have been banned for the following reason:
    Politics

    Date the ban will be lifted: 07-27-2012, 11:00 AM



    I swear to God those people are freaking nuts. I got banned because I said that the shooting in Colo. Could have been minimized if more people had guns to protect themselves. AND this was in response to BRainPaint's post that said it wouldn't have mattered. His post came AFTER his warning so I thought this was fair game. I'm sorry but they have such a screwed up sense of justice over there. I wonder if BP was banned as well? I would imagine it was him who did that though because he can't take people taking him on. There are few over there that are cool like trick and MW and Hos (I can see why he quit over there) but the rest of them are full of shit and infantile brats. Oh, and I wonder if they think I will lose some sleep over this. LOL.

    An entire week. Wow. I'm more surprised it didn't get shut down. I figured someone would get booted, but my money was on burm. :D

    It's blatantly obvious that certain mods can't separate their politics from their moderation. In my sig, I used to have a fairly innocuous quotation from Ronald Reagan about the nature of the free market. BP made me remove it. Yet, numerous posters have sig lines that denigrate religion and attack Christianity as well as avatars with pictures of Richard Dawkins.

    Admittedly, it can be frustrating. However, I believe in the free market, and CZ is and should be allowed to run their site as they see fit. If it becomes too bothersome, I can go elsewhere or start my own site. That's the beauty of the free market.

    I am tired of being baited over there while idiots like superpunk and cowboymccoy (ben) are allowed to say or do anything they want.
    In my dream, the world had suffered a terrible disaster. A black haze shut out the sun, and the darkness was alive with the moans and screams of wounded people. Suddenly, a small light glowed. A candle flickered into life, symbol of hope for millions. A single tiny candle, shining in the ugly dark.

    I laughed and blew it out.

    Of course it wouldn't get shut down. How else could BP spout his ignorant crap? He just doesn't like when someone challenges him with real world facts. I'm not sure it was him who did it because they don't tell you that. It could have been that vindictive witch or BP. But they didn't even send me a pm before hand. Add to that the fact I responding to a post made by a MOD and this is even more hypocritical than most. I think the Zone has gotten way too big for their britches and a bit over confident as to their place on the web. I do agree they do as they want but they sure don't do themselves any favors by being a bunch of Hypocrites.

    I do think it's funny that I got a one week ban and that asshole Canadiancowboy only got a one day ban for mocking CowboyMcCoy about being a bad parent.

    Superpunk just posted the following:

    I'm loving all the gun-toting internet heroes who would have risked it all to drop this guy.

    There's a reason why you NEVER hear of that happening in these situations. And it's not because the people in those situations don't have the stones to go vigilante on a crazed gunman in a movie theater. I mean good lord the pentagon is saying there were military members in there and among the victims. Get over yourselves.
    Let's see if he gets banned for comments that were far more incendiary than Cajun's.

    I wonder if anyone will post the story of the 70 something yo guy who shot two thugs with guns to stop another mass killing the other day.
    And SP is a total ass and most people know it so he wont get banned. When a mod can act like that and then ban someone they dont care about anything other than their agenda.

    Complete with video. Better catch it before they take this down. This should be posted at the Zone.

    I'm not sure the two can be compared. The difference being a much bigger place with almost absolute darkness with no idea where the hostility is coming from, as opposed to a well lit place with the dopes in plain sight. Every situation is it's own and I agree with whoever wrote the opinion that this particular one probably would end up a cluster fuck, with most not even know who's doing the shooting. You pop up and see a guy with a gun, but how do you know he's the guy and not another citizen with a gun? No one would. It was probably pandemonium with no real sense of the situation beyond get me the fuck outta here.

    My guess would be the guy with the mask and the two guns blazing and the one who started would be the bad guy. The point was that if more people armed themselves, the less likely this would happen and more punks would be dead. Further, how does anyone know that someone wouldn't have been able to kill this guy before he killed 13 people? The argument against people arming themselves is completely ludicrous.
