While I agree that HA's admin and mods are extremely tolerant, I don't agree with your assessment of bottomxoslave's posting behaviors. He did start out extremely antagonistic, critical, and offensive, but after the conflict between you, me, and JenniferParisHusband, I noticed bottomxoslave calmed down dramatically. Perhaps that was only a temporary alleviation, but before last night's posts I'd even go as far as saying bottomxoslave had been behaving cordially.

This is nothing new..it's merely a microcosm of what happens quite often in larger societies and institutions.
Darryl said nothing more or less obnoxious than anyone else..in fact..most of his post were humored in nature and/or of a "gotcha" nature.
A ts member here berated him with racist rants, threats of violence.etc, and this person now works for "the company". I understand the politics, I'm just saying if you want to be fair..this brother has been blatantly treated unfairly.
BTW..I don't know Darryl never met him.

I never said you knew him, that was bottomslave. If you have a hunch I'm not saying you're not entitled to it. I know how it is to believe something without having all the concrete details to lay out. I just think you should have something a little bit more substantive before you say the administrators are racist.

I don't disagree that it may have been a personality conflict, I just don't see any evidence that the moderators have treated people of different backgrounds differently.

Since the question is essentially whether Prospero makes a good mod, I'd have to say "Hell yes"; he's intelligent, articulate and entertaining, and thus far he's done a fine job of "clown control". If the question was, should bottomxoslave be banned, I lean towards "yes" simply because I have little tolerance for stupidity and think that the board was better off before he started asking everyone what they thought of his ass.

That's a fairly obvious double-standard. Transsexuals around HA get preferred treatment. They're allowed far more leniency than the admirers around HA because... well, frankly; they can be a source of income for Grooby. That's vastly oversimplifying everything, but it's more-or-less the truth. It's not as though the admirers are getting banned on first offenses, though. More often they're warned multiple times and continue to retaliate or break rules. Darryl wasn't any different in that regard. While it may be true that he was banned over having a racist conversation provoked by one of the girls, you can't claim that was the one and only time he had ever crossed the line. While it is a tad unfortunate that the same girl is now working for Grooby, that's just how this shit operates.

Thank You that's precisely my previous point

Report the offending posts. I (or the other mods) don't often get the opportunity to see every post - if I get reports on an offending member, I look at the post immediately.
Thanks

Clearly you missed many of his posts. He's been far more offensive than most and I'm offended you'd think he'd be banned because of his race. He's banned because he's a right twat.

I respect your opinion but I never called anyone racist. That would be ignorance.
You can subscribe to a system of discriminatory practices and bias without being racist.
As far as something "substantive". You said yourself that Darryl had a few thousand post..meaning..he was a regular posting member of this community. Everyone also knew him for his shameless self promotions of loving trannies of all levels of transition..etc. He never threatened to hurt or kill anyone (like others have done). There are other popular dudes here (non black) who have had epic battles going on with certain girls..and they get asked to be judges for porn awards. I'm just calling it like it is.
This kind of "broad brush" discrimination has become so normal that people who are defending it are doing so blindly and without ill-intent

Erm what part of his post did you not read oh yes maybe it was this part below:dancing:

"A ts member here berated him with racist rants, threats of violence.etc, and this person now works for "the company"

I had a feeling Prospero had friends in high places then it turns out he was in the high place shock horror lol, got to say on the whole I like him as he is diplomatic, cordial, an intellectual and something of a gentleman I say this in spite of the fact that I suspect he was the one who had a hand in banishing me from this forum for a year (and didn't know you get warnings as I never received 1):hide-1:

Should add that I think on balance that Prospero makes a good mod

Who's Prospero?
