I can remember going down this path a couple of months ago (or so it seems) when an Aussie was sin binned and yet those who had baited him and flamed him appeared to get off Scot-free. Now please take note I said APPEARED to get off Scot-free. (Remember this salient point as I may test you on this at a later date). Any of us who live in Aussie know how protective of our own as the Kiwis are about their own and we both still have the other’s back (Now Hear This! Y’all leave the Kiwis alone. By right of nationality Aussies have the God given right to try to bash the shit out of the Kiwis and they us). The point is, I did notice that although one or two people appear to have immunity, I have noticed that after a bout of flaming, they do pull their heads in and keep the peace until some one punched their buttons. I don know, not being privy to the Secret Mod Councils, but I’d warrant a few private warnings are issued and people take heed. Now us decedents of the Anzacs, tend to be a bloody independent mob who has more than a little trouble in taking notice of official warnings (Just look at how many get regular rides in the paddy wagon from the rubbity on a Saturday night) so I can understand why it may seem that the Aussie/NZ membership of CM appears to be targeted for sin binning or worse. Some of you remember my concerns as to what appeared to be CM being a US site with non US Citizens being treated as second class members. I do not believe that is the case and the fact that the majority of (at least active) members are US residence, but look at the population figures and that shouldn’t surprise you. I have found that when I have contacted the Mods about what I’ve seen as injustices, they have replied to me promptly and been prepared to discuss the matter with me. The bottom line is folks, this is a free site and since you are not forced to remain here or asked to pay a fee for using the site we do not have a leg to stand on even if the Mods wished to parade naked on a daily basis…. End result, why don';t you can the cyber-fascist state concept, that went out in the post 60's and only shows a lack of maturity and may indicate the precence of a "professional" stirer or rabble rouser more commonly found in anti establishment protestors.
