If you can only function under blanket rules you're f'd basically.

Get some minions in to moderate for you.

Better yet, start your own forum and show me how it is done. You are obviously an expert.

It's kind of sad that you have to post these defensive retorts, especially when the criticism aimed at you is spot on.

I guess if you are the one making the criticism, it is not surprising that you consider it to be spot on. Forgive me if I disagree. I think your criticism is petty, inaccurate, and obnoxious. Why was criticizing Brigitte Bardot so important to you that it could not wait 48 hours and what does that say about you?

I didn't criticize her. I stated that she abandoned her son and declared herself not "maternal". This is fact. If you choose to see it as criticism, that's your own limited perspective informing your opinion. Come on Jeff, you're a lot smarter than that.

"Abandoned" has negative connotations. She didn't leave the child on the side of the road. You certainly didn't mean this as praise. But again, what does it say about you that you couldn't wait 48 hours to post this and now, several days later, you are still upset enough to spend your Saturday afternoon posting about it?

It just seems absurd.

No, you are going to ignore it for 48 hours.

Who else do you want to cancel, maybe you can open a Forum especially for that.

Okay it's tomorrow so let's recap what got deleted.

Bardot was a vile racist, Islamophobe, and homophobe who was fined 6 times by the French government for inciting racial hatred. She abandoned her son and continued to make cruel statements about hating her child for decades.

She was a garbage person. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Thank you for posting the truth. That 48 hr ban isn't about respect. It simply gives the story a chance to fall to the back page be replaced by other headlines and the truth to be hidden and buried.

As the person who created the rule, I think that I have a better understanding of its intention than you do. I can assure you that you are wrong.

Yes, Jeff needs to rethink this rule, it creates a misleading impression of people and allows for whitewashing of terrible behavior.

The rule is that you're not supposed to post bad things. I think that is fine, but if you post WELL DOCUMENTED FACTS that's not posting "bad things". He completely lacks nuance. Sad but true.

Yes, I lack nuance. Intentionally. I don't have time to research what are facts and what are not. Even if you document claims, I will mostly have to examine the documentation. In this day and age, you can find documentation for almost anything. I can probably find a source right now that says the earth is flat.

The purpose of the rule is to allow a period of mourning for those who liked and/or respected the deceased. They can remember the good about a person without having to debate the bad, or worse yet, dispute false allegations.

You were chomping at the bit to post this as soon as you were allowed. Pathetic.

A forum of people fawning over a vile woman is what's pathetic. We need to call racists out. People were literally calling her an angel, which she was not.

You need help.

No they don't.
