As of right now, I have been temporarily banned with no explanation or method of communication with any moderator regarding these two threads:
http://www.thecoli.com/threads/terr...ed-satirical-magazine-office-updating.282007/
http://www.thecoli.com/threads/paris-shootings-12-confirmed-dead.282013/
Why?
I have contributed information in the form of videos, links, tweets, articles, and opinions to the threads...and I still get banned?
All of my comment was ON TOPIC and THREAD SPECIFIC. ALL OF IT.
Why?
I have no had any communication with ANY moderator nor have I been directly addressed.
This is a very serious subject to me and I find it not only cowardly but shameful that moderators are so willing to seek to limit the method of discourse of a politically charged event.
Emotions are VERY high here. This isn't a game. Islam deserves criticism and trying to evade any responsibility or accountability on account of having controversial opinions just shows how indirectly aligned moderators are with the views of these extremists in trying to limit the course of discussion to only topics that they approve of.
I get it. I'm not well liked on here...but above all else, you all can't tell me that I'm not well informed, that I don't make elaborate and nuanced arguments or that I don't respect the nature of debate. This is a message board...not a town hall in a reserved room at a community college. We should have that freedom on here. I enjoy The Coli and I think moderators should MODERATE...not oppress views they can't handle.
If a moderator responds to this, I seriously think I deserve a thorough explanation.
