FactNet Staff Hopelessly Deluded

I have been berating the point FactNet's staff apparently feel there is no conflict of interest in appointing a practicing board troll and atheist to moderate their Christian boards. There is no sense in continuing to highlight the issue, and I'd like to end my coverage of it by noting this same troll, known as Dodge as his regular user id, but as Josh125 when he has his moderator hat on, is not only disliked on the Christian board, but also on the other boards where he is active as well.

There have been other complaints about him, but as it has come to be expected, he acts as he is infallible and never takes personal accountability for his actions. Though he did apologize for posting childish, inflammatory graphics denigrating Christianity on the same board he is now moderator, his attitude has not changed and thus his apology is null and void. He is condescending and openly pokes fun at Christians by making snide, sarcastic remarks about their beliefs.

It is reprehensible FactNet's staff allows this clown to run loose on their boards and do and say as he pleases, claiming he doesn't break any rules. Let's take a look at what he says which to him isn't ad hominem, because he believes what he say is true, which is a very strange definition of the term:

 "Yes, indeed, at one time a while back I posted images of Jesus on the cross dressed in drag, as Santa Claus, as the Holy Ghost, a Pilgrim, Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, Superman, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, and a few others. 

It was fun, I enjoyed playing with Photoshop and creating those outrageous characterizations of the imaginary supernatural being that people call Jesus, Christ, and The Lord. As someone who sees this mythic character from the Bible as existing nowhere but in the minds of those who believe it, it really didn’t mean anything to me. It might as well have been Zeus, Hercules, Mickey Mouse, or Zippy the Pinhead." Dodge's insulting comments

Even though I noted in a rebuttal that the famous historian Flavius Josephus (37 A.D. - 100 A.D) mentioned Jesus in his writings, and the authors of the Gospels were eye witnesses to Jesus' life,  Dodge claims Jesus never existed. I guess he must have been there, that's how he's so sure. This is the arrogance which comes through so clearly, and reflects in the way he "moderates" the Christian boards.

As I posted in my last message at FactNet:

"Dodge you are a study in hypocrisy. You tailor your interpretations of the rules here to aggressively go after those you disagree with, while softening them to allow your own attacks against others to go unpunished, and that goes for those who you approve of when they attack those who you do not approve of.

That is the core of your conflict of interest. All your insults are "opinions" while others who express their opinions are flaming and insulting, and using abusive ad hominem. Your snide, condescending attitude towards others is just as offensive to me as your smarmy revulsion to Sammael's use of street language, at least he doesn't pretend to be someone else.

The rules of this forum are what is being abused, and that is the problem with giving someone authority over those he has admitted he sees as gullible and easily manipulated by the superior intellect he perceives himself to be. 

In your world, "behaving yourself" is following your own whimsical interpretations of forum rules as you apply them to others, while hypocritically violating them by insulting others and attempt to incite them into defending themselves, at which time you render your gavel and sentence them in a game you relish, because you thus always can win and end whenever you wish. 

The problem with that thinking is no one is bound here and that is your one unsolvable problem, and the one thing that truly puts you, and not anyone else, in a position to fail. With no subjects, a king is nobody, powerless, and worthless. 

You are still making me the issue,(ad hominem) when in reality, it's this conflict of interest which was created by allowing you any position of authority here. It has made a bad situation worse, since at least when the boards where essentially unmoderated, the rules being ignored by absentee moderators and thus by participants alike, it made for a level playing field no matter who one decided to side with. 

If you think you are enforcing rules here you are sorely mistaken. You manipulate them, so when it comes to credibility, I don't think you should be casting any stones."

In his mind the above is an ad hominem attack, but according to his own definition, if I believe what I'm saying then it's allowable and isn't ad hominem. The problem is he never uses that definition when others are commenting about their opponents, only he can actually insult people and get away with it, because he moderates himself.

Here is the definition of ad hominem: "Abusive ad hominem (also called personal abuse or personal attacks) usually involves insulting or belittling one's opponent in order to attack his claim or invalidate his argument, but can also involve pointing out true character flaws or actions that are irrelevant to the opponent's argument." 

His problem is he seems to forget the definition or modifies it when he' moderating. He's just a clown, and so he can now sit there with essentially a dead board, since few will put up with his nonsense and games.
