This isn't even remotely the same thing. Off color jokes are no where near the same thing as actual physical molestation. Equating them as such is, as I said, nothing short of emotional manipulation. Trying to shame and guilt people into siding with you on an issue. We can't keep inflating this into a bigger issue than it actually is.
I was asked to do that by DM, because he was afraid of the treatment he'd get if he did it himself. Being requested to do it is very different form making it your business to complain about someone's problem that doesn't exist.
And now you are saying the problem doesn't exist.
But by your own logic it wasn't YOUR business to side with DM at that time you just chose to aid him, it wasn't your business but because you were asked you jumped in.
The issue is, this forum seems to be intolerantly lax towards penalizing people for 1) breaking the damned rules and 2) Actually allowing someone to state they want to bang a minor, it doesn't matter if they lie about being a minor fact is you shouldn't be saying that type of stuff, you yourself blew it into a bigger problem when you started on the people who didn't want to hear that crap, but and here is the double edged sword, you state it isn't our right to intervene, it's not their right to state they want to bang a child. You cannot say what you want just because you feel like it or you think it's a joke, it didn't look like a smart response to a thread and nor did it look like someone who wasn't creeping on a minor would say.
You are trotting out many different defenses but it boils down to this. The rules were broken, mods were alert by other people because of concern, and to be quite frank i don't give a **** if loz thought it was a joke the way he went about it was in poor taste especially in this day and age. The mods handed him a punishment, a zero point infraction that means diddly squat.
You and those who side with him and think he did nothing wrong (which is what it boils down to in some cases and in yours, apparently defending peoples right to be perverted creepers) when he did, it doesn't matter who raised the horn at this point because multiple reports were lodged in the end, hell as far as i know the individual the remark was aimed even reported (unsure of that).
It literally comes down to the fact it explicitly states in the rules no sexual conduct anywhere but the MD, i won't say the mods have been lax but they have, i've seen it spilling into general discussion and into SB several times and it shouldn't, Lozjam broke the rules what he said or did at this point is irrelevant he got his infraction and that is all there is to it.
