| Several hundred reports made in the space of an hour or so - especially if they just happen focus on a certain member or two - are likely to be regarded with some suspicion as to the motive for making them; a raised eyebrow to say the least. I'm sorry there's no rule stating the precise definition ... |

| Show me in the rules of this website (not the ones in your head) where reporting derailed and inflammatory threads is “bad behavior”. It's not against the rules per say (unless Cornflake is serious about this vexatious reporting thing), but repeatedly using it as a way of shutting down discourse is... |

| It's not bad behavior to request a thread lock. That's your mischaracterisation, made sans facts. You mean sans facts you refuse to acknowledge, such as the mod attention posts over the years. The bad behavior comes in the selective way the demands come in, but you seem to be claiming that litigati... |

| I don’t find conspiracy theories fascinating. I find many of them could be dangerous. I think they are both. My fascination with conspiracy theories waned after I learned about the people who start, spread, and believe them. They are more interested in being believed than in telling the truth (just... |

| Anyone who considers themselves "pro-life" should be for more education funding so EVERY child can have a quality education. There is a problem with that: Many who claim to be “Pro-Life” are really just “Pro-Birth”, and could not possibly care less about what happens to someone else’s chi... |

| The media is certainly more honest and accurate in reporting on Mr. Jones than Mr. Jones is about reporting on himself. Remember, this thread is about Mr. Jones -- not the media, not the media fact-checkers, not the Gulf Wars, not journalists, and certainly not about some members’ favorite conspira... |
