You and other mods keep telling us that but some people just never bother listening. There's a reason I stopped responding to anything EricHiggin, Zoombael, KLAMarine, LonelyDolphin, and a handful of others post. I learned my lesson after the 'using a literal white nationalist neo-nazi website as proof to back their claims' link drop. 

When I've seen it, I've corrected it. Only person I've directly told IIRC is Eric and now KLA, and neither has repeated that I've seen. If you have evidence of them using white nationalist Neo Nazi websites as proof, that should be provided with an allegation of such. This is also potentially backseat moderating.

Reported for defamation. Insinuating i relied on Nazi propaganda to "back my claims".

As i said, to ignore facts and discredit anyone who is not on your side is the only way for your kind to prevail.

... but since you're also violating forum rules, I'm probably not going to do anything. Backseat moderating which includes posts like "reported" are considered backseat moderating and against forum rules (rule 7 #2). (Also, if you mean defamation in a legal sense, your case is very weak.)

The purpose of reporting is to alert mods of behavior, and to avoid escalating situations. When you report and also report that you reported and respond with comments making broad generalizations (i.e. your kind), then you are trying to have your cake and eat it to by getting your digs in while calling the mods on the other person.

So as I see it, we're all tied up here at one post each violating rules (possibly in the first case providing there's no evidence) and nothing further is required (other mods may disagree), so long as both of you drop it. ANYTHING further along these lines should be via PM either to me if you want to talk about moderation policies or each other if you want to debate the issue (keeping in mind of course the same rules apply to PMs as posts). Either way it's not a US politics matter, so this thread ain't the place.

I did not say Zoombael said that, I said I knew better than to react after the last time it happened it turned out that the person who left a random link did so on a literal white nationalist/neonazi webpage. Torillian can verify this exact thing happened. There was a 2-page discussion about the importance of citing sources and doing more research before blindly posting things.
