A couple of words about this moderator. The first thing I found out about her is that she is a member of Asatru. And Asatru is a neo-pagan community that spends half its time denying persistent rumours that they are neo-Nazi or at least racists. Well, perhaps they are not. All I can say is that I would rather have a Nazi for an enemy than for a friend; and that I would rather have a neo-pagan for an enemy than for a friend. They may not be Nazis. But I am familiar with Fascist and Nazi circles, and, by some inconceivable fatality, they do seem to be simply full of neo-pagan types.
Forgive me if I phrase this wrongly, Fabio, but something seems kind of fishy here with this quote and your whole post in general. You acknowledge that your argumentative and often hostile personality has lost you more than a few friends, and recently has gotten you banned from the bad_penny comm on JF. You then proceed to...accuse the mod there that the reason you were banned was because she's a pagan and possibly a Nazi.
...I didn't pay attention a lot in 9th grade logical crap class, but isn't that what's known as an ad hominem argument? I've seen you do something like this more than a few times, too. You take someone's background and us it as an argument. Perhaps you don't mean it to, but it comes off as somewhat patronizing and kind of silly.
