What if the "post" is a provable lie against or about another member? What is the remedy??

So you think what I say about roulette is untrue and you can prove it? Go ahead, prove it.

The post was NOT about you and roulette, EB. Being full of oneself is tough to overcome, but give it a try.
gordon888 the question remains. It should be addressed.

There is at least one case in which someone called the other person a liar and Wizard asked the accuser to provide incontrovertible proof that the statement was a lie within one day; when the accuser failed to do that he was suspended.
This was in a case in which the claimed lie was about something that could be proven or disproven by information on hand such as
A: "I never posted in this forum that you are a fool"
B: "Thats a lie"
A: I won over $1 million in this years WSOP main event.
B: You're a liar.
Stating: "Your posts are lies" fails to meet the "provable/disprovable with existing information" test. And remember that it is possible for someone to be cognitively impaired and confused, but not be a liar.
So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.

So, EB posts that ALL charities are "corrupt" is not a lie? How about accusing a forum member of theft? Take off the blinders.

The charity's comment was hyperbole, it was exaggerating to make a point. Most Charities are in fact corrupt. I don't remember accusing somebody of theft, unless you mean Axel and his so-called AP moves. When you buy something with the intention of using it and taking it back, yes, that's a form of theft. What else would you call it, when you borrow something without the permission of the owner that's theft. Try asking a merchant if you can do that and see what they tell you.

The merchants OPINION is it's theft.
Your OPINION is it's theft.
It's not a crime. Theft is a crime. Therefore returning items isn't a theft.
Provable Logic as opposed to opinion says it's not theft.
Try again.
Put another way
Theft is a crime. Show the criminal statute violated and reportable for returning items per a merchants policy. If you can't then it's not theft.

Posting that all charities are corrupt is not a personal insult made to a forum member, it is an opinion.
Regarding accusing a forum member of theft: If you feel a sense of grievance then please send me a link to a specific post that you feel was problematic and I will review it. I would prefer that you do this by PM to me.

But all theft is not a crime, that is incorrect. If I'm a comedian and I steal your joke, that's theft but it's not a crime. There are a hundred such examples. Borrowing something from a merchant with the intent of bringing it back is theft. Not criminal theft, but theft it is. I remember in the seventies when everybody was stealing HBO for free and it was not a crime yet, but it was still theft. Theft of service.

An unprovable representation.
If a comedian actually copyrighted his material and you stole it yes he could seek redress under the law so not certain what you are even talking about.

I believe the idea of closing a thread for a day if a poster in it gets suspended for insults is ridiculous.
When people get involved enough to insult then the issue draws eyeballs to the screen, and ain't that what the owners REALLY want?

In 1988, a new road was built thru a park in NYC. The day it was opened, a car didn't negotiate a curve, and two people were killed. In under a month, there were several serious accidents. The powers that be tried changing the speed limit, put up extra signs, painted lanes on the road to help, but accidents kept happening.
Finally, someone with some common sense realized the problem wasn't the speed limit or the signs. The problem was the road itself.
They closed the almost new road and made it a bike path.
Sometimes, that turd by the side of the road is simply a turd, and trying to make it anything else is an exercise in futility.

A thread should not be close just because a member has been suspended. Why should we be punished because is suspended. Its not his thread just because he started it. You shouldn't tell people not to talk about or discuss Bob just because he suspended(obviously normally forum rules still apply.) That's like he's not even suspended. We shouldn't be on pause just because he is suspended. This is a slippery slope and it seems like a first. More special treatment?
That is NOT HIS personal thread just because h3 started it.
He can come back and catch up is he wishes, that's part of the punishment for being suspended.

The nominal topic of the thread did not seem to be under discussion.
The thread had seemingly devolved into indecorum, with little of value being lost while it is closed.

It was clear to me it was an insult.
But it was one of those insider insults. It was a reference to prior discussion on this forum. But for those in the know it was obvious enough.

If people were not suspended for calling me, a biological male, "she" then why did EB get suspended for what did not even seem an insult?
My sig says it all.

My guess is because you have said many times on both here and DT that misgendering (even if intentional) is not an insult, and penalties for such by private companies against members are a sign of insane corporate overreach?
It actually sounds like a pretty consistent interpretation of the rules based on your own logic.

Is misgendering someone an insult?

Only if it is actual biological.

If a person is biological male you call him "he."
If they are biological female you call her "she."
This is taught in first grade in the USA.
Anything else is not "misgendering."

It precisely is, this is the internet, nobody here can verify your gender, even those who met you cannot say with certainty your gender.
If you want people to be punished for not addressing you with your pronouns of choice, you are by definition supporting a misgendering enforcement policy on the forum.
Personally, I would never do that to you or anyone (nor am I honestly familiar with the incident referenced), because I believe in respecting somebody's stated gender identity. But, I am just saying you cannot have it both ways.
This is the internet, I could tell you I am a male, and even those who have met me would say I am probably a male, but nobody here has known me thoroughly enough (as it were) to attest to that. So, we are all operating on surface level identity (for the vast majority of people it is only the gender stated in their profile that we know -and my historic complaint stands that there is not a third option-, and most people do not even bother to fill this, so my default on here is to assume that everyone is a male until told otherwise, only because that is a safe bet on this site. And, once told otherwise I immediately abide by their wishes, I don't ask to see a DNA sample to prove their genetic makeup.)
If you want mods to enforce rules against people for misgendering you (again I do not know the context) but want to blatantly misgender people who you feel do not understand their own biology properly, it is a double standard. You are saying that your offense is more meaningful than the offense felt by others who are not properly understanding their mind/bodies.

A thread should not be close just because a member has been suspended. Why should we be punished because is suspended. Its not his thread just because he started it. You shouldn't tell people not to talk about or discuss Bob just because he suspended(obviously normally forum rules still apply.) That's like he's not even suspended. We shouldn't be on pause just because he is suspended. This is a slippery slope and it seems like a first. More special treatment?
That is NOT HIS personal thread just because h3 started it.
He can come back and catch up is he wishes, that's part of the punishment for being suspended.

The nominal topic of the thread did not seem to be under discussion.
The thread had seemingly devolved into indecorum, with little of value being lost while it is closed.

I don't understand this. The thread has devolved to the point that only EBs presence allows it to be open? Without EB, the thread has no value? No EB, the subject has no value. Add EB and the thread has value. LIke I said, I don't get it.

I'm not going to even get into how socially inept it is to insist on insulting someone because of personal homophobia.
Truth is not a defense to insulting someone. It's been long established on this forum.

Debate generally requires speakers "for" and "against".
I'm waiting for a replacement speaker on the "for" side.
May the cards fall in your favor.
