[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I hate to be a pain, but could you please help me understand why someone who deliberately makes others uncomfortable and slams an entire group is not banned, but I was banned for experimentally transferring language that made one group uncomfortable onto a different group, again experimentally?

I somehow feel that you are not too concerned about being a pain. The poster in question was upset by what many would agree is a clear contradiction if not outright hypocrisy: a man who has chosen a childless celebrate life criticizing other childless adults. The poster further listed other reasons that they did not hold that individual or the institution that he leads in very high esteem. The poster then concluded with, "I am done with Catholics". It was really only the last line that was problematic. Contrary to the OP of this thread and, apparently you, I don't see that entire post as being aimed at attacking Catholics but rather leveling criticisms at the Pope and Catholic Church as an institution.

In contrast, your post was purely an act of bad faith posting. You targeted an innocent party, were not engaging in any discussion relevant to the forum, and were essentially trolling.

An experiment is not “bad faith” and it is not “trolling.”  I do research for a living, at a place you’ve heard of and respect. I do experiments all the time. I was demonstrating a double standard, and the demonstration was pretty effective. [/quote]

You posted things you admittedly didn't believe solely to see what kind of response you could provoke.  No matter what your intentions are, that's the definition of trolling.[/quote]
