I reacted to what I observed as an "official" defense (preservation)of an obvious troll thread, that was formed in the context of this insult by this thread's author, that I covered in my last post:

Host, I genuinely appreciate how invested you are in this board, and that is why I am going to add something here in response to what you've said, even though I am still a touch confused about why you are responding to me about something I said to roachboy. I can only assume that you feel that you feel that you are both under some ill-conceived scrutiny from certain people for the some of same reasons, and this may be true.

My point Supple Cow, is that some of us who participate here regularly, have paid a higher price, in terms of criticism and harrassment, as a direct result of our participation, than anyone who you think may be discouraged from participating here for the first time, will ever experience. To observe now, that an obvious troll thread, created by someone who has made the comments that this thread's author has made, is "officially" supported, complete with taunts directed at roachboy, because he objected to the motivation of the thread's author, and the subject and content of the OP, is quite a disturbing development to observe.

I think I understand where you are coming from a little better now. However, I hope that you will investigae each part of this argument a little further before you come to any conclusions about any conspiracy between the mods and Carno (or any other member anyone might seem to think is favored in some way). Cyn is a human being whom you can challenge (respectfully) to be more careful with his words or in any other way you wish.
If there's anything that we can be sure will continue around here, it's that people will make mistakes. Just as you can be challenged by the moderators to work on the style and content of your posts (as evinced by the actions they took, e.g. the Karl Rove thread), you can challenge the moderators (or just one) by bringing the matter up directly with the moderators or in public as you have done. I hope now that Cyn will return and address this.
