1) moderators ban users for their own reasons and other moderators do not/will not talk about why

3) you banned Mount Fujimori for that reason and nothing related to the thesis or anything Mount Fujimori posted about the thesis or vlindsay
4) it is your position that i made sport of vlindsay's hidden thesis that promises forummembers research results but nothing has yet been provided by Victoria, Robert, or any other moderator.
and may i suggest
5) discussing the thesis, linking to it, and fact-checking it and checking it for errors and ethical oversights is not a problem, as it is about us, the people who have come to the BFC for the last 10 or so years.
correct, more or less?
1. Yes, I do. As mentioned earlier I am not formally trained in ethics. I have said many times to many people that I am unfair and , in fact, take a deal of pride in my being unfair. I have not hidden this fact, but I can not speak for other admins or moderators.
2. I did not make porn with vlindsay, post it on a website and I was not offended that she asked, I was offended that she expected me to deny this and only that would prove the crazy accusation was false.
3. Once I did ban Kamakazi mountain but not related to the thesis but related to comments made by That Which Shadows The Sun Emperor on vlindsay that should have been private. This was back in early 2011 (maybe January) and I did it more as a favor to vlindsay and perhaps I should not have done this, but as I said before I am not fair. I never have been and attempts at fairness end up being contradictory and futile so fuck it.
4. You are making sport of it. And I don't care either. You are having fun doing this and I am having fun responding or else we would be doing something else. I seem to remember a link being provided that was at least up temporarily but maybe I was mistaken.
5. Discuss it all you want. I am not going to stop any discussion or dissemination of promises either made or implied. I have not had a chance to read it yet though I hear there are some parts where I look like a total fucking chump and I don't even care. Find my chump parts.
In short, research the hell out of it if you wish....but remember I hold no copyrights and technically I cannot grant permission for you to get access to and disseminate in a manner that contradicts UK academic copyrights. It'd be best to clear this with Dr. V but I am not stopping anything from being posted on this matter.
