I suggest YN read Anne Coulter's new book "Godless" and learn what real debate is all about. It certainly isn't about taking advantage of an opponent because the moderator has penalized him. It is about ideas and truth. Pigdog has always used nicknames on these threads as have his opponents and his penalty wasn't about that transgression.

If this is what we have come to, using the moderators in lieu of our own lack of ideas, then count me out. I gave up childish things a loooong time ago.

Sure. Everyone knows that Ann is the master of real debate...

I didn't realized I was taking advantage of any anyone. I don't think pigdog's constant name calling is appropriate for FR and I asked the Admins for advice.

It is about ideas and truth.

Exactly, it's not about calling those who disagree with you names.

Pigdog has always used nicknames

Doesn't make it right.

as have his opponents

That doesn't make it right, either. And frequently it's in response to pigdog.

his penalty wasn't about that transgression.

So you admit his name calling is a transgression.

Name calling is usually a sign of a lack of ideas.

I gave up childish things a loooong time ago.

So have I. The question is - can pigdog.
