Speculating on suppositions is fruitless and quickly drags threads off of their topics. Please refrain.

Yet my post was in response to what was already being discussed:

Regardless though, I'm surprised I haven't as of yet heard many complaints or conspiracy theories as to how it was really american soldiers doing that to him in order to save face from the prison scandal. That seems highly unlikely, almost impossible actually, but I'm still shocked I haven't heard someone claiming it.

otheadp:

You're probably right, but it does seem conspicuous to me.

That response was:

Wesmorris you said, it is highly unlikely or impossible for the US to do this. How much thought went into the process? If you consider this impossible, then what is else is impossible, US ordering the genocide of 300,000 Indonesians? I am not saying the US did that, but to say it is impossible, is just foolish.

Goofyfish deleted this opinion I voiced twice, inspite of the fact, that I said:

Greco, I was being sarcastic. However, it certainly is a possibility that this beheading was executed(no pun intended) on the orders of the CIA, to take of the pressure from the US abuses. Then again, it also also possible, that these thugs really did behead Nick Berg for retribution.

I clearly was not supporting this conspiracy theory and nor did I start this angle in this topic. Yet does this mean we cannot discuss conspiracy theories?

Goofyfish has threatened to ban me, if I respond with my opinion to wesmorris's post, which is only responding to what he said. We all know how much Goofyfish hates me, and it seems he's taken it very personal, that most of you don't want me banned, and it seems clear he has abused his powers.

If you post the same thing in that thread, you are not likely to continue posting in these forums.

I leave you to decide. Am I not allowed to share my opinion, or has Goofy clearly abused his powers and image?

nope, goofy's ok... and well, his turf, his rules... accept, or leave.

We all know how much Goofyfish hates me, and it seems he's taken it very personal...As I have stated to you previously Mikey, you give yourself too much credit if you think you have any kind of emotional impact upon me.

:m: Carry on.

I don´t see a problem with goofy or his moderation.

Why not cut this crap you are sprouting back a bit crazymikey?
Perhaps it is a problem with your attitude?

Dreamwalker, I take it, you cannot see what's wrong with my post. It's not my attitude either, I voiced my opinion in a civil manner, more civil than what some on this forum do. The reason Goofy deleted it, is actually stated by him "No conspiracy theory" yet I'm not the one supporting a conspiracy theory, nor did I initiate it.

In other words, Goofyfish's deletion of my opinion was personal, which is not what a moderator is suppose to do. I did not want to make an issue of it either, but Goofyfish, split my thoughts into a seperate thread, and then threatened of banning me, if I go against his authority? If that is not abuse of power and image, what is?

I have read the whole thread about the decapitated contractor and somehow I got the impression that you "hinted" at conspiracy theories various times. It also looked like you wanted to steer the discussion to these theories. This you can accomplish through posts like those you wrote. In the end it would result in the thread going kind of off-topic (I do not want to say hijacked).
I think a moderator should intervene if this happens. Goofyfish did this I think, resulting in editing your post and splitting the thread. It seems like a reasonable action.

yet I'm not the one supporting a conspiracy theory, nor did I initiate it.
I do not say that you initiated it, but you undoubtly supported it when it appeared as byward thoughts.

I also did not mean that there is an attitude problem within your post, it seems to me that it is in your whole behaviour.

Also, Goofyfish only told you the consequences of breaking the rules, if you perceive this as a threat, I would say that it is somewhat of an attitude problem.

This topic is an abuse of Sciforums Open Government.

Or so says me.

Dreamwalker,

Wrong. I did not support a conspiracy theory, I responded to a post talking about the conspiracy theory. Nonetheless, it does not say in the rules, that you cannot discuss conspiracy theories, and if it did, it would be violation of freedom of speech. As it turns out, the immediate reports of beheading after the Iraqi abuse cases, is suspect and does warrant discussion, and that thread was about that.

However, if you look closely, I clearly stated there is nothing to suggest it is a conspiracy, all I did was respond to something that was clearly nonsense "It is highly unlikely or impossible for the US to have done it" So it is clear, what goofyfish has done is wrong, and then saying he will have me banned, if I share my opinion, is clearly wrong.

Therefore, I don't have an attitude problem. I have a problem with someone telling me, I cannot share my opinion, or I'll be banned, by using their image and powers.

Do you know how hard it is to reason with the writing on a wall?

Think about what I want to say with this sentence. ;)

Think long about it.

Tiassa is right...!

All I can see so far from those who have replied, is sucking up to the moderator. If your post is deleted, because the mod does not like your opinion, how is that justified?
If your posts were deleted for little to no reason, would you be supporting it because err, "He's the mod, he has the right"

I really hope not everyone here feels this way.

Personally, I'd say "ah fuck it" and mooove oooon. :) friendly advise.

Any other response is a waste of energy.

I agree. It should be moved to Site Feedback or the Cesspool.

On the topic of Goofy... Bullshit. Goofy's been a mod longer than I've been a member, there's no way he'd abuse his powers. Leave that up to Clarventavious.

crazymikey, expect no sympathy from me. You are not welcome here.
