so, i'm happier if you talk about the moderation style here in general rather than ragging on any particular person (other than me), especially if that person is no longer here to write a rebuttal.
AND THEN ON THE SAME PAGE....
RZ- "No kidding! Duffy was a huge troll, and everyone's focusing on this last event and can't figure out how he got himself banned. In the past year alone, he called someone he disagreed with a "fucking pedophile" (he was serious) posted a bizzaro sexual fantasy about a teenage girl and himself (and her dying cat), and accused Dan several times of having a mental illness. How ironic.
People gave him the benefit of the doubt because of his surfer bro personality, but he was mean to people in an insidious way.
I'll postulate that he's been on thin ice for a while. I don't know how he lasted as long as he did. Dan gave him a lot of rope IMO. "
OneGoodLeg- "Duffy was tolerable on balance since he brought some well-timed zingers and cat gifs to the party, and occasional insight on matters of photography, surfing, recreational drugs, etc, but the remaining arc of his trolling shtick was tiresome to say the least, and it was painfully obvious to anyone else who wasn't too busy fighting him over who got to suck Trump's balls first and which of you had to settle for seconds."
It's quite despicable, throwing a one sided assault, at someone who can't fight back!
IMO one of the douchiest moves ever in the LR and you have just been warned by Dan he is "not comfortable" with this. But the thing is... I would never want you censored. Maybe a temporary slap on the wrist at most. I value diverse opinions, and I am responding with mine, and hopefully we all learn a little from them, and move on.
