   Yup. And had the moderators thought I was doing any of that they'd   
   have rejected the posts. I *was* on hand-moderated status. Clearly the   
   moderation team didn't think I was guilty of any of the false charges   
   you assert. Since you're not on the moderation team, all this   
   illustrates is that once again you don't know what you're talking   
   about. Clearly had you spotted anything wrong you'd have said   
   something about it. Since you didn't, anything you say now is either a   
   re-manufacturing of history or you're merely parroting someone else's   
   paranoia.   
      
   >You violated those terms regularly and the mods simply ignored it.   
      
   ... or it didn't exist. Since you didn't spot anything until your lord   
   and master said it existed, it must have been subtle way beyond your   
   ability to recognise it.

   Indeed. I am not remotely interested in his next failed project, which   
   is part of the reason he's filtered. I did nothing to stop or spoil   
   anyone else's "enjoyment" of such information.

   ... and yet you cannot quite resist coming here and harassing me.   
   Strange how convenient your morality is when it applies to other   
   people, and strange how quickly it gets forgotten when you type.

   Really?  My view differs.
