I posted in the US democracy thread a post with nothing init that was inflamatory, inherently unfactual, against forum policy and was deleted. This is not the first time this has happened. The post was written as a take on Jack Nicholson’s speech in a “A Few Good Men” with a little creative license.
Meanwhile post after post by some members parrot
the same idiotic comments and are allowed while they have been answered 50 pages back by multiple people. Shouldn’t that be true “moderation”?
If this mod has an issue with Jack Nicholson or has not seen the movie or cannot understand the parallel then do ask. I will be more than happy to get them a gift certificate to Blockbuster or even take the time to explain the backdrop.
If the moderator has an issue with me, be a man and send me a private message or an email. I had even wrote on the post that this was dedicated to jack nicholson and Rob Reiner. What the hell is the problem.
I have an idea who this moderator is and if he has an intellectual bone then I would welcome a debate on his art of moderation or thereby lack of.

Chaltahai, why don't you be a "man" and send a PM to the specific Moderator who deleted your post, if you are so certain that you know who it is? The common course is for Guppies to send their queries in a private message to the relevant Moderator(s) regarding particular posts of theirs that have been deleted.
CH: try to learn from your own mistakes and don't give moderators enough reasons to delete your posts. Your hate-mongering attitude has gotten you into trouble before on this bulletin board; and it was certainly not the decision of one mod in particular.
Now, I don't know under what conditions your posts were deleted, but I am sure they were legitimate enough. You have communication channels at your disposal- use them. However, whining and lambasting moderators' capabilities will not get you very far.
Moderators art of moderation is not open to debate Chaltahai-hai. They get picked to do a job and they do it as best they can. If you have query about a post that was deleted then by all means ask about that.

No moderator has an issue with you. If you want to enquire as to why one of your posts was removed, then first use the proper channels by sending a PM or e-mail to the mod (s). I have only once received a PM from you and that was in reply to a PM I sent you. Use the PM or e-mail route first and then come here, if the mod does not reply to you, which is rarely the case.
If you want to talk actors and films then please post in the Shor Sharaba forum. The Politics Forums have a clear set of defined rules and they state that irrelvant posts meant to derail a thread will be removed. Additionally mocking other members is not allowed (i.e. calling them idiots as you have done again here). Your post was removed on these counts.
Making personal attacks on moderators as you have done again in this thread, is also not allowed.
What the higly esteemed moderator has failed to recognize is that the post was written in the style of the dialogue from "A Few good men" and the content was directly related to the topic. Post it up again mursalin and we can talk about it.
It had nothing to do with shorsharaba. Kind of like when the jihadi parades quotes scripture to make political points or people quote Noam Chomsky, a poet to prove a political point.
The correct word used was idiotic, which is still a valid adverb. I did not call people idiots I called the thought process idiotic. There is a difference. An idiot is makes idiotic comments all the time....not all idiotic comments are made by idiots. I hope this clears it up for you.
Now since the concerned mod has already provided his response to your query, lets not dwell on it longer than necessary. If you remain unsatisfied with the answer, please contact the Administrator (sabah) via PM or email to further discuss your position on the issue. Hopefully by the end of the process we will all have an amicable resolution to these continuing issues.
