Let me first say that you poll is idiotic and bias.

Second, I followed the thread and BBB was calm, rational, and level headed. You on the other hand were rude and badgering. You are lucky you are even allowed to still be posting.
I got a plan, we take all your picks we reverse them like one of those twilight zone episodes where everything is the opposite. You say "black" we go white.

My typo is not up to speed and I am not familiar with how this poll works and the options available. Also I don't seem to be able to edit the options if that can be edited

no idea what you're asking here, it's almost
like your either a foreigner, or went to a US
public school in the last 10 years.

Yeah, I followed that thread until it got boring. I don't think I'll ever understand why some people think that all others should have the same opinion as they do, and will nag and badger until others finally have enough. Not only is it stupid, it is probably the single best way to make sure you never win anyone over.

We're not talking about killing puppies. We're talking about whether or not a stupid casino and a stupid casino host did something stupid or not. Strongly feel and defend your point, but enjoy and tolerate the diversity. You may just learn something, if not to your point, to the art of debate and winning people over to your way of looking at things. Strive for unity, not for uniformity!

There is nothing anywhere that says that all forum members will be treated equally.

Ace's name is not in green, therefore you can block him. Problem solved. You are not going to win this one.

This is the Wiz's place. The moderators help the Wiz. There is no do or not do decided by members. Its the Wiz's place. He is the sole authority on what the moderators do. Don't like it or have a problem with a moderator, send the Wiz a PM. Why even poll the members regarding this, in the end its meaningless.

Absolutely, this is Wiz property and we are only here with his permission. He has Moderators to help him run this place.

Of COURSE it is not able to function. As I told you in the first post...it is BIAS. That is why NOBODY has voted.

Your poll is like the equivalent of asking:

Do you think that Adolf Hitler was:
A. An Excellent Leader
B. Fair and Just
C. Misunderstood

If you agree with the OP, of course post those views. Just common sense.

Moderators have views just like any other member. They post their views just as any member would post their views.
You did not get suspended. Whats the biggie.
Any member could posted something like, "watch it, you are flooding the thread , you might get the attention of a moderator and get suspended. chill out with ace"

You weren't warned because of your opposing view. You were polite enough in your arguments when you first started in the thread but then you degenerated into flaming on Ace. You were badgering him. You were clearly breaking forum rules. And some of your statements were purely non-sensical. Here's the real doozy "Walking away from a 1 night hotel comp is a criminal offense." LMAO. In my opinion the Mod did a great job in this situation. Go back and read the forum rules.

The direction of this thread is not good. This is the Wiz's place. The Wiz does not appreciate post after post after post complaining about moderators. The Wiz may consider this as bad conduct.
