I am one of Andy's friends here at Penn State, and I'm going to make it clear I don't like Juventus. Moreover, I did not sign up to defend Andy as he told me that would get me as far as Heath Ledger on a bad acid trip.
But what's ridiculous here is the hypocrisy I have witnessed on this forum. I have been a frequent reader of this place for a while, dissecting posts Andy has provided me for either beneficial or comical reasons, and I've found that the main plot of this place is selective acceptable hypocrisy. Andy has provided me with enough examples to make my eyes bleed. People waltz around here labeling Inter fans and their mothers every single insult in the book, ranging from mere childish material to sheer racism while describing the South American influence the team possesses. Nothing is done about that problem. People have labeled Americans all sorts of lovely things, yet nobody does anything about it. Moderators love to prance around insulting members who support other clubs, hacking into their accounts and changing their avatars without permission. It's all the same deal.
Andy receives five warnings from one moderator, then receives one warning for a post that not only everybody agrees with, but also a post that all sorts of posters have stated previously without a warning or mere talking to. Hell, a couple examples of this can be seen in this very thread. Andy has shown me countless examples of hypocrisy from a few moderators, which is interesting to me because I'm a moderator on a forum that discusses worldly hypocrisy in politics.
But apparently it's perfectly fine to wish the demise of an entire race but unacceptable to direct a worthy insult to a group of mass murders we prefer to call the IDF. Such moderation will never cease to amaze me.
The best part about it is the moderator in question proceeds to delete all the posts in the defense of Andy. This is something thoroughly amusing because the mod in question will come out to say he only deleted them for the good of the thread, but strangely enough left the warned post for all to see. Terrible moderation that is common from what Andy has shown me in this forum and the rest of the places I've joined in my quest for internet entertainment.
The moral of the story is: It's a warning only if you want it to be, not because it's always right.
