Only you would consider Goss' hateful abuse of me "thoughtful and interesting".

Qute diversion to avoid my valid on topic crit of your post. Sort of a Trump like invention such as Obamagate.

You're very clearly abusing Goss.

I'm not aware of him doing it to you - and you undoubtedly started it.

Criticizine your false trivia is neither hateful nor abuse, it is the reason for a forum.

The term "forum" refers to a literal place where speech is free and uncensored. In England, Hyde Park Corner. However in your imaginary forum, you are playing the rold of an agent of the British secret service, taking notes and punishing those whose free speech does not agree with you. As judge, witness and jury you not only have no publish standards, but don´t even live up to your own imaginary rules.

Wizop rage, that's what I call it.

I disagree that this applies here.

Ideally free and uncensored speech would be perfect, but it can only work if people play by the rules.

• Attack the argument, not the person.
• No hijacking
• Don't be abusive

I have the right to set these rules on my forum, as it is a private enterprise.

This is not a democracy - even though I have given people plenty of say in how I run things.

Every change you demand that suits you, runs the risk of bothering others.

Yes, this forum is a public place.  However, so is a shopping centre.  There are rules.  No skateboarding, no bikes, wear clothes. 

I have the right to post rules at the door to my forum.

You can obey the rules, or leave.

Of course it does not apply here because your interpretation and roll make it not a fórum. But thanks for listing your rules, all of which you break yourselves, which is why most justice systems separate the role of judges, juries, witnesses, and enforcers, where you combine them in yourslef. Are you familiar with the word "recusal".

Your use of "ttwunts","trolls" (in ways not found in any dictionary), and treatment of Berry´s posts are exaples of abuses, and abusive of power.

Entering this or any forum etc carries with it the implicit rules of the person creating the forum , your choice (like all of ours) is to stay and abide or leave and seek elsewhere where we can express our opinions in a manner we find acceptable .

You've attacked RGoss (and me).

Doesn't mean anything the way you've applied it. Talking about the Middle East or terrorism - but demand everyone ignore the elephant in the room.

Stating it just makes you look like a control-freak.

But we know you're not a control-freak, don't we?
