When Runeghost starts making 50 posts a day, derailing every thread throughout multiple boards, claiming that we shouldn't have any Republican moderators, and attacking specific users, then we'll talk. His statements about Republicans are awful, and need to be addressed with at least a warning (though there are definitely a couple of posters who have made similar remarks about Democrats, and are not banned), but directly attacking users is on a different level. Those of you accusing the forum of bias, but holding up EHarding as some kind of martyr, while calling for Runeghost to be permabanned should realize that the "bias" argument goes both ways.
I'm not making Eharding out to be some kind of martyr. I'm just saying that Eharding never said that he wished that people would die based solely on their voting habits.
They are diffrent kind of "offenders". Eharding was basically an idiot, derailing the forum with spamming, even though he didn't appear malicious. Still, he was rightly banned. Runeghost is malicious and, believe me, he's not under the radar.
A lot of people here brought the issue of consistency and we're listening.
