Well, it was not about pedophilia but about the thread opened by a pedophile on DI forum as well as about the mods who supported the pedophile. So, how it was off topic?
Members voiced their thoughts about DI forum or the mods. I am sure that you have read posts to see variety of issues addressed by the members.
What is the difference? Are you saying that if somebody will post about pedophilia like on DI forum, the members will not be allowed to protest. The threads will be closed or members will be banned?
Did I get it right?
Look if you want to say that certain people who are not here to defend themselves, support pedophilia, its not on ok. Simple as that.
Accusing people of supporting pedophilia, or stating that they support pedophilia, well that was deemed to be off topic, end of. And thats what you were doing.
That is my honest answer.
What I was doing wrong? Saying that there was a thread opened by a pedophile that was closed and opened again. Or, saying that a number of members asked to close it but the mods refused to do so for a long period of time. Or perhaps, saying that sean finally closed but accused members who asked to close this thread of being crazy.
Second, people voiced many concerns regarding the mods on DI forum. It didn’t bother you that the mods couldn’t defend themselves but you have a problem now.

I was active throughout that entire thread on DI and it was one of the most sickening things I’ve experienced online. On that basis, I’m damn sure it’s now going to be a topic here.
If you’re in need of such a topic to focus on, I suggest you wait until you have a window of opportunity to raise the subject again.
If you, or anyone continues to bring up the DI related one, I will continue to delete the posts.
Can’t make it any clear than that. Hope this is good enough.
First, I didn't have a need to focus on that topic. Please don't make assumptions but read carefully what I wrote to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding. Somebody else brought this subject to the thread and I responded. I didn't start it but I felt that it was important for me to express my thoughts as I and others were not allowed on DI forum to do so.
I need your clarification what do you mean by saying, "If you, or anyone continues to bring up the DI related one, I will continue to delete the posts"
Hi...
If you'll permit me the opportunity to start again, I'd like to apologise.
By the time this all kicked off last night I was very tired and quite frustrated - in light of that, I responded to yourself by biting rather than thinking clearly and I'm sorry. What I should've done is slept on it.
Novums already said most of what I would have but I just want to add that until you actually have a browse around this place you're not going to be able see what we're about and until then, I fully understand how we aren't going to be viewed any different from other places because of peoples experience with moderation in the past. But you have to give us a chance and look for yourself.
The turn last nights thread had taken was wrong. More than one person here has already expressed this opinion. Having read it back today however, I see that you wheren't the issue and your points raised where genuine ones and without malice. The others however, I don't think where being raised for the same reasons as you. In fact, I believe that 'banned' and 'bluegrazz' jumped on the bandwagon so to speak, in a deliberate attempt to steer the thread even further down that track. You unfortunately, got caught in that. Bluegrazz has already confirmed this to me by the fact he was running back to the DI site with screenshots from here. It was nearly 4am here by the time I left, so I also apologise for not responding then but it had been a long day.
We're sick to death of the DIF and at this point in time, we've come to the end of our tether. The amount of bullshit being spread around due to us starting up beggers belief. I still find it quite amazing that a small group of people have been able to cause such a stir and are STILL getting crap thrown at us from sean and his posse of cunts all because his members are choosing to come over and join us. He needs to grow the fuck up.
So again, I apologise. I remember you well from that thread over there... and a few other threads in fact and just want to say it would be a shame to lose a strong minded person such as yourself over this. Nobody's going to be banning you girl, so the choice is down to you.
We've put alot of hard work into this place and I do tend to get somewhat fiery and defensive over the place, something I won't ever apologise for as it goes without saying.
Please stick around... have a good read and hopefully you'll be able to judge for yourself that what we have is different to what you have experienced before.
First, it was on a thread where people discussed and voiced their opinion and experience with DI mods. The thread was opened a few days ago but you didn’t have a problem about that since you didn’t question or protest against newbie’s taking about their experience.
