Why do you feel it is necessary to bring me into this now? I've stayed away from this site for several weeks now, and only today read your last tongue lashing of me in response to the "youth" issue, in which you more or less told me to stay away from here. I noticed also in that thread that yours was the last response allowable in that thread as there was a message saying that the thread was now too long, so that effectively cut off any reply I might have wanted to make without starting a whole new thread.
Also, there were inaccuracies in your last response to me, but I won't bother rehashing all of that now. But I still say there is sometimes a double-standard applied by some Coordinators (since there are mulitple coordinators its hard to pin point which ones). For example, I've seen posters here reprimanded for bringing up old issues in new threads or mentioning people from past arguments who are not involved in the current one, yet in your post above you've done exactly that, bringing me into a debate that I'm not a part of. On one hand you want me to stay out of the debate and keep my opinions to myself, basically telling me to go away without actually banning me, and on the other hand dragging me back into it.
You've also made a huge mistake in thinking that I was at any time defending Joshua. I could care less about him. What I cared about was even-handed treatment and being allowed to express myself when someone offended me, and I only used your treatment of Joshua for comparison purposes. If I ever criticized you for "singling him out" it was not to defend him, but to complain that you did not treat in the same way another poster who I consider just as offensive.
But now I'm rehashing all of that, which I said I wouldn't, but which you triggered by bringing me into the conversation. If you're going to insist that others stick to the rules here, then you should stick to them too.
