Questionable Questing

I'm sorry for the move of your post... but it was part of the derail from what I could see, and I was doing what I can to prevent the continued derail of the thread.

All I can do is apologize for it. If any questions about that post requiring a cite again... just point them at the original post as I do not intend to move posts back and forth between threads.

I don't really see how it was a derail. But, even if it was, I don't see how the derail *started* at that point. I was just responding to someone someone else said.

It's difficult to keep politics out of that thread, though, because the two are very obviously closely linked. It's naturally going to drift at times, and I think it's somewhat arbitrary to suddenly cut off half of a discussion.

The thing is... that was part of the derail, and if it becomes necessary to excise portions of a thread for derail or such... some times, bits of healthy parts get cut as well.

And I agree with you on it being hard to keep politics out of social justice and vice versa...

^The first post more about politics than social justice. TanaNari's and Cherry Lover's posts before that were on-topic.

...Also, the rules post says that mod decisions can be appealed, but fails to mention to whom to direct an appeal. Mind elucidating, while I think of it?

Yeah, I don't see how my post was really about politics. Yes, it mentioned politics, but that's because the only sensible answer I could give to the question involved politics.

You're essentially saying that I'm not allowed to answer the question if my answer would involve politics in any way. That seems to me to be an utterly absurd claim to make. The fact that people then de-railed it into a political discussion as a result doesn't make my initial post off-topic....

Well, thanks, now I'm trying to fucking argue with one hand tied behind my back because you moved my damn post....

magic9mushroom and Cherry Lover, sorry for the late response. You can do up an essay explaining the situation, and what you'll do in the future to avoid such happening again. PM me and/or all the mods, or you can post in the rules thread if you want open visibility.

Also, to be honest... when someone asks for a cite, generally they expect a link and/or a quote that indicate source of your statement or the reason you're saying such and such.

I have no standing to appeal the bit that I disagree with. I have conceded that my posts were part of the off-topic drift/derail. Had I been punished for them, I'd have objected, but a move was perfectly reasonable.
