[QUOTE=Poyol;67015]I wholehartedly agree
1. Can you explain how " Beacons' arrogant, nit picking and pedantic behaviour ..." is a reference to someone else?

2. Can you explain how a single line post "You, my fine pedantic friend, are an argumentative asshole." is not ad hominem directed at me?

3. Where in that thread but especially in relation to Little round Man did I personally attack anyone?
Since then i have received PM's from mods/admins saying they will support LRM above the truth.
In short I see this as valuing loyalty above honesty
Given RS was set up because scam.com valued loyalty to sponsors above honesty then I regard this "groupthink by admins" as a very serious issue much more serious than the unprovoked and unjustofied personal attacks on me.
On the wider note and more substantive issue addressed here:

Should or is RS not about broader issues than just saying "you decide"? I mean if we were to post "here is all the evidence we can find for the WWII Holocaust " it would be really silly to say "well we are not saying the WWII Holocaust happened ~ you decide" would be silly. Clearly there is a HUGH amount evidence suggesting it happened and there is a huge amount of evidence suggesting scams are happening.
I am aware that we have to be sensitive about defaming anyone and of the extremes of "outing" people ( and I do think such extreme actions are in many cases wrong) but we have to be able to speak out and say "Banners Broker is a scam" and having admins say "well we dont really know it is a scam that is for people to decide" or " well it may be a scam but we dont really know who has the money so we cant do anything about them" " well it is a scam but it isnt for us to advocate any action by the police" is not fullfulling what I consider should be a role for RS.
What do other people think about this?
