Man, this is getting bizarre more bizarre than usual. In his "Update: Toronto earns a bar to poster child status (as does Petrushka) in a TSZ thread, with several others joining in and showing the habitual incivility and strawman tactics of too many design objectors" (yes - even his headings are TLDR) thread KF is complaining bitterly about the discussion at TSZ and, while explaining that he is running commentary, he will not lower himself to participate over there. However, it is not quite convincing, as even he seems to realise.

Sal, however, comes up with an answer:

Perhaps the way to make the exchange between Petrushka and Toronto and KairosFocus fair, they could ban KairosFocus from TheSkepticalZone.

That would seem the most fair arrangement to me. Of course, if TSZ did that, Toronto and Petrushka and the others would have less reason keep fielding complaints. But I expect that won’t happen because they want to feel justified in complaining.

So an offer KairosFocus, if you like, on threads that I’m the author of at TheSkepticalZone, I could ban you. Would you like me to do that? I’m happy to oblige. Same for Barry, I can ban him from my threads at TSZ. If I did that, then they wouldn’t have a lot of basis for complaining anymore. :-)

So, in tit-for-tat UD upside down land they can claim they are being barred from discussion and complain even harder about being opressed.
All good with KF:

PPPS: Sal, ban away. No skin off my nose.

I think Sal should have his moderation privileges removed (he doesn't actually have them, only posting privileges).
