Well, it looks like the inevitable happened. Mitch as turned religion into a warm and fuzzy group hug where you can't point out the shortcomings of anyone. Especially Mitch himself. In this thread is the result of commentary I made on his outright ludicrus new guidelines, which he then used as justification for REMOVING said criticism. Sound fascist enough for you yet?
Then there is this thread, where I point out the problem with another poster. I even admitted to being snide, but the second red mark is my simple reference to his person in the form of "Your problem [...]". Um, mitch? Do you even know what an ad hominem is? Me don't thinks you do.
So, lets just close down any sort of meaningful criticism. Lets all have one big group hug, smoke a few joints, and calm right the fuck down to the point where no comment about another persona can be made ever. Regardless of whether or not it actually ATTACKS the persona, or only makes a REFERENCE TO an entities logical problem (Oh mitch? That's what the "your problem" was. Yeah. Got it? Good).
So I'm going to outright defy his rules. MITCH has a personal problem, and that problem is with criticism. He refuses to take any of it from anyone he feels "inferior", and so far it seems like that's everyone else. This has gotten so bad it has affected his moderator judgement to the point where he is making rules against criticizing another person constructively. Is this someone you want in charge? REALLY? He doesn't even know what an ad hominem is, AND his implementation of his own rules selectively benefits him the most!
