28 Nov 05 - 05:17 AM (#1615295) Subject: BS: A double standard or hypocrisy? From: The Shambles http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_standard The following extract from the above. There is a subtle distinction to be made between double standards and hypocricy. The latter implies the acceptance of a single standard, but the disregard of it in practice. A man who believes that he has a right to have extra-marital affairs but his wife does not holds a double standard. A man who condemns all adultery while maintaining a mistress is a hypocrite. ENDS |

From: The Shambles If this turned out to be about censorship, would Shambles be being hypocritical, employing a double standard, just trying to score cheap points for another thread, or none of the above? I wonder... As I am now called many names and judged guilty of so many other terrible things - (and would appear to be already subject to such judgement) - it would hardly seem to matter. All I am guilty of is creating a thread. I plead guilty to that. Is that now a crime? I wonder... |

29 Nov 05 - 08:16 AM (#1616265) Subject: RE: BS: A double standard or hypocrisy? From: The Shambles The fact that this thread may be involve some discussion about censorship should not be too surprising as any contribution from me is very likely to be subject to this censorship. But it was not I who introduced the word to this thread - was it? Given the history of recent postings - am I am expected to feel grateful that any thread I start or contribute to is not subject to imposed closure, my posts not moved re-titled or subject to inserted editing comments or some other form of censorship? Especially when there are never any grounds for such imposed judgements - other than some of my fellow posters may not agree with me? It would indeed be nice to be able to move on and be free from being censored on our forum. Any thread on the subject of censorship (before it is subject to imposed closure) is likely - without too much comment - to be diverted to any subject under the sun - thought to be mildly amusing. |

Like those whose judgements were responsible for the relegation and imposed closure of the still fine Gallery of Mudcat Quotations thread? |

30 Nov 05 - 09:21 AM (#1617168) Subject: RE: BS: A double standard or hypocrisy? From: The Shambles I was asked........ If you look carefully (or not so carefully) you will see that the thread I refer to was first relegated to the B/S and then subject to imposed closure by persons unknown. Because of this closuse - Amos then opened a new thread with judgements and made reference in his first post to the closure of the 'Gallery' thread. The words in the first post you see there now are NOT the words of the original post of this thread. A number of other posts and quotations were made in this new thread and some of them have been judged by persons unknown as suitable to remain in this thread where the posters had placed them. Others were not thought suitable and the original 'Gallery' thread was re-opened and these unsuitable posts were moved to this original thread. I trust that you would agree that the whole procedure would have been avoided - had not the 'Gallery' thread not been first relegated and then subject to imposed closure? I opened a thread called Less Noteworty Mudcat Quotations which remains open but was immediatly relegated to the B/S - unlike the one that Amos started and called More Noteworthy Mudcat Quotations - which remains but censored form - in the music section. |

01 Dec 05 - 05:41 AM (#1617927) Subject: RE: BS: A double standard or hypocrisy? From: The Shambles Thanks for refreshing this thread an sending it to the top again. As is any other thread on any subject whatsoever. That is the nature of the beast. Accept it and get over it. Perhaps you should be taking issue with those who do not appear to accept this? Like the following anonyomus volunteer fellow poster who inserted this unwelcome editing comment into my post. It may have been because it was abused, by being used for a purpose for which it was not intended. |

01 Dec 05 - 06:32 AM (#1617951) Subject: RE: BS: A double standard or hypocrisy? From: The Shambles Subject: RE: Gallery of Mudcat Quotations From: Joe Offer - PM Date: 24 Nov 05 - 02:06 AM Dear Roger, As I understand it, most people don't want you cluttering up yet another thread with your anti-censorship campaign. Post what you want in this thread, and stay out of the other one. Be happy that you're tolerated as much as you are. Thank you. -Joe Offer- If there was such a thing an anti-censorship campaign - I trust that any thread on this subject (if they remained open long enough) would also receive equal consideration and similar censorship - if there were attempts by any anti-anti-censorship campaigners to clutter-up, divert or flood that thread with abusive personal attacks and judgements? Or would that be pro-censorship campaigning and whatever methods used to further this - be thought OK? |
