Tell me where I'm favouring any member unjustly, or--just as importantly--blabberizing/sinbinning one on unfair grounds. Flooding the board, making it unreadable to others, harming it, etc, necessitates action but throwing tantrums sans the above (i e, behaving like a child) does not.
An example: posting a few dozen links to an image in a single post and then repeating that a couple of times takes only a few seconds but is more than enough to make a thread unreadable. Using your big fucking peters as an avatar is tasteless and boring but not nearly enough for more than a temporary ignore, that is, if you worry about kids or unsuspecting adults at work walking by your screen.
Tell me where I'm letting Richard off the hook because I like him.
Unless, of course, you simply consider Richard a bore and think it enough to blabberize or sinbin him. If that's the case, then we have nothing to discuss.
Rather than let you dictate the terms of what I ought or ought not explain to make my point or back my claim I will put forth my own rationale and reasons for holding my views on this.
You will probably be right in assuming that I think Richard a bore and not much more could be said of Duke. I do not grace either with anything close to a good opinion.
But enough of this. Let's take it as read that I believe them to be retards and not much to merit them. Let's compare them and their actions.
Duke
----------
Ugly, childish, whiny, arrogant, opinionated, attention whore, who cites bad upbringing for his behavior and being a jerk generally. Will accuse anyone of being insensitive to his (special?) needs if they don't humour him being a jerk (or worse react to him), and again believe the fact that this is barely moderated and he has had a horrid upbringing he cites as reason enough to do what he wants.
Richard

Duke's spam
------------------
Duke, if he doesn't get his way, and to make some point that probably has a little merit to it, will do something really retarded and will not heed any advice or censor.
What he does? He makes the forum difficult for others, posting image after image on threads all around the board that people can not prevent and for which people can not navigate around. In opposition to this, he thumbs his nose up at others and Admin alike and says that he has every reason or right or what have you.
Richard's cock-playing avatar
---------------------------------------

Duke's Punishment
---------------------------
Blabberising followed by sinbinning. (Fair enough were it not compared to the below punishment)
Richard's punishment
-----------------------------
Hell after doing this and having members pissed off and causing a ruckus, he them accuses the Admin of doing the wrong thing and somehow justifying his actions in his own mind as self-righteous. Threatens to do use the same again. Asks to be deleted by the corrupt Admin .... who go to great pains to stroke his ego and wish him not to go and talk him down.
Then he goes ahead and does the cock posting avatar thing again, and again believes this is fair go. He also attacks Queen Victoria's daughter and upsets members (for which he doesn't apologise but starts a thread - "why I am like this" as explanation). At every point and turn he brushes aside any responsibility or accountability.
What happened when Vodzy attacked your kids, Odeon? What happened when Richard attacked Queen Victoria's?
On the backdrop of the avatar thing too. Again this is semi-moderated so on that basis could be a fair call were it not compared, as it has been, with Duke's punishmen,t for no more than what Richard has done, and certainly in my humble opinion, far less.
So yes Odeon, certainly it speaks to me of favoritism and certainly it is call out worthy.
You do realise the irony is that Duke's problem was Richard not getting reprimanded for anything he did?
