I also want to remind you that there have been a number of deaths with people on Universal Credit.
You truly do not understand just how terrible a welfare system under the Tories is, especially if the UN had to write a report about it.

But don't worry, I have more evidence lined up.

Don't bother trying, as I'm sure there will be an obstinate continuation of both the victim blaming and the Dickensian desire for the destitute little waifs to die in the gutter to punish the poors.

The New California Republic is quite past the line here, accusing me humourlessly of desiring the death of impoverished people's children and regarding it as some warped punishment for being poor.

The post is attacking what you have been suggesting in the thread, which has been pretty much constituting what I've described. It's attacking the arguments you have been making, by showing what they are amounting to, it isn't attacking you.

[Santheres]

It does feel much more like an attack on your arguments than on you to me. Not actionable at this time.

[Turelisa-]

Absolute crap. I think a second opinion is required.

[New Visayan Islands]

No, the initial ruling stands; this does look more like an attack on your arguments.

[Turelisa-]

No, it isn't an attack on my arguments. To anyone who has read my arguments in the thread, without prejudice, it should be blindingly obvious not one of them can be rationally construed as having for their basis the belief that neglected children in poverty should go hungry 'in the gutter' and eventually perish to punish their negligent parents. It was a slur, and it was meant to offend. In the terms of site rules, it was basic trolling.
That you and the previous moderator have judged it as a legitimate attack on my sceptical view of the exaggerated claims by posters of starvation and utter helplessness among families on basic or unearned incomes in British society, a view which has been based on provided empirical and factual evidence including statistics, demonstrates to me you both share with the perpetrator, along with his socialist sentiments, an irrational contempt for any conservative opposition to them, however rationally expressed, and a personal dislike of anybody who supports it..
You have both judged with bias, either concious or unconscious, and I'm calling you both out for it.

If you have valid complaints of moderator abuse, please file them via the Getting Help page. Moderators cannot edit, delete, or otherwise alter the contents of your GHR, and mod abuse reports are flagged for immediate admin attention. Be sure to include all relevant links to what you are reporting as well as a clear and concise explanation of what the problem is. I must inform you that the administrators have very little patience for frivolous or outright fraudulent reports, and are liable to dismiss incomplete, unspecific, or wildly generalized complaints outright. (IE: "The mods are corrupt!" absent any evidence attached to the report.)

Thank you, moderator. I'll consider making an appeal.
