what the fuck is up with this shit? i've never personally seen HTML be rude to anyone (and I'm prolly more sexist than he is). and only pleasant experiences with Nomos as well.

RE: Harassing and abuse of position by Nomos
Copy of e-mail sent by Hundredmillionlifetimes to Matthew Ingram/Woebot:
"Matt,
I have just learned, without any warning being given whatsoever, and on the basis of totally false allegations, and in total contravention of your stated policy some months ago (that there would be no further bannings of anyone from Dissensus), that I have been banned, and for two months.
As Nomos claims responsibility for this total and arbitrary abuse of the stated rules, I trust you will rectify matters. Banning someone in such a manner is the very definition of 'personal abuse'. If you peruse the relevant threat, it should become apparent that Tate 'intervened' in the
discussion there, provoked trouble, by ridiculously accusing me of being 'sexist', which in the context amounts to personal abuse, yet Nomos did not even question this; on the contrary, he welcomed such abuse, then going on to ban me for my attempts to defend myself against such an abusive allegation."
The post where Matt/Woebot announced that there would be no further bannings of Members from Dissensus in future was in the thread "Postmodernity" (in the Thought category) on 2nd July, 2007, where he clearly stated: "the policy in this particular situation in future is going to be to NOT BAN."

The only function of a mod, therefore, is to delete obvious threads/posts that are nothing more than spam/advertising (which regularly happens), though I recently found to my surprise that a harmless thread I started in the music section just before I was banned was ALSO summarily deleted, yet another irresponsible abuse of the forum.
