"Thou mayest not speak ill of our group on other parts of the internet, but thou art encouraged to speak ill of other places in our group." From the book of Ranzini, chapter 14, verse 7-8 #a2council

This accusation of moderation bias by anti #a2council activist Stephen Lange Ranzini is in the running for ironic statement of the year. Link: www.facebook.com/groups/17885...

🙄 #a2council

Calling President Trump a fascist is Fake News and may earn you a Strike™️. #A2Council

#a2council it's time for a game! Pull out your PDF of Da Rulez™ and tell me which rules this breaks. Hint: it's more than one of them.

Stephen Lange Ranzini, money changer whose personal hero is Donald Trump, hates being called out for his abusive behavior.

Stephen Lange Ranzini, a money changer whose personal hero is Donald Trump, is above the rules.

MDOT is a part of the state government, not a part of Ann Arbor or Washtenaw County governments.

Do not assign your personal motives when interpreting another person’s response, instead ask for clarification.

Don't worry, Donna Marie Adams is immune to the rules because she hates #a2council.

Do not assign your personal motives when interpreting another person’s response. Posts that expresses prejudice against a specified person, or group will not be tolerated. No Hate Speech, Untruths or Bullying Unless you're the group administrator who donated to Trump and owns an under-taxed house.

No Untruths, unless you want to spread long debunked conspiracy theories.

Reminder: It is against The Rules™ to call Donald Trump a fascist, and it is against The Rules™ to call Christopher Taylor Not-a-fascist.

There is no rule against off-topic discussion, unless talking about someone's Nazi tattoos makes the Trump-loving #a2council hating admin feel uncomfortable.

No name calling or personal attacks, unless it's against a member of #a2council that the admins don't like.

Is anyone even remotely surprised that Stephen Lange Ranzini, who misspelled his own name when donating to Donald Trump, would call a progressive Democrat a fascist while banning people for calling Donald Trump a fascist? He should slink back off his gated community of Barton Hills.

No personal attacks on a Member's or Group's character, motive, or other attribute will be tolerated. Unless you managed to get a poverty exemption on your property tax despite having millions of dollars in the bank and you want to smear a retired teacher.

No Untruths, unless you want to smear #a2council.

No personal attacks on a Member's or Group's character, motive or other attribute will be tolerated. Unless you're trying to tie #a2council candidates to something they didn't say using guilt by association.

This one isn't actually against the rules, but Group Admin Stephen Lange Ranzini frequently asks people to remove their duplicate posts. He doesn't, however, seem to have a problem with making his own duplicate posts.

Dear @a2politics-rules.bsky.social pretty sure this baseless accusation is a rules violation, but you’re the expert. #A2Council

We would rather that Posts and comments in our Group focus on *policy issues* and not *personality issues*, so please be judicious in any Posts or comments that contain criticism of another individual. Unless we think it might help our preferred #a2council candidate.

No personal attacks on a Member's or Group's character, motive, or other attribute will be tolerated.

No personal attacks on a Member’s or Group’s character, motive, or other attribute will be tolerated. Unless that other member is asking for evidence of your claims about people attacking an #a2council candidate.

If only this group had any moderators. Two rogue rule-breaking accounts once again accusing city council of corruption in a way that is literally exemplified as rule-breaking.

No mudslinging, unless you want to tar #a2council members with guilt by association. Also, provide a link or screenshot to prove what you claim happened, unless the admins happen to miss this because it would be inconvenient for them to ask you for evidence.

No personal attacks on a Member's or Group's character, motive, or other attribute will be tolerated. Unless you're an admin, then feel free to make personal attacks against members. #a2council

No personal attacks on a Member's or Group's character, motive, or other attribute will be tolerated. Example don't: "Council Member X is the worst because the took political donations from NIMBYs who oppose that housing project and then voted against it."

No memes, unless you're a moderator reposting the far-right's attempt at humor.

Do not use emoji reactions to mock. Unless you're mocking someone who's pointing out that your #a2council conspiracy theories are bullshit. www.facebook.com/groups/17885... www.facebook.com/groups/17885...

“Friendly” reminder: Totally cool to call Taylor a fascist, but don’t you dare apply the label to the Trump administration! #A2Council

Not strictly a "rules" post, but Dianne Brainard jumping to defend the Cato Institute and former #a2council member Jack Eaton liking her comment was too funny to resist. www.facebook.com/groups/17885...

Do not assign your personal motives when interpreting another person's response, unless you're accusing others of doing something you do pretty much every time you comment (and the mods like you).

Your post should contain a summary that provides proper context, and criticisms of people should be based on their ideas, not personality factors. Unless you're a mod who wants to post an unhinged link to the third most popular #a2council conspiracy blog.

No name calling, unless it's to make up a rude nickname about someone the mods don't like.

No personal attacks against others, and you must use your real name.

Bonus: the winners of the #a2council Razini Medal of Freedom!

Allowed: making unevidenced claims about #a2council that, if false, would be libel. Not allowed: asking for evidence for those claims.

No Untruths™, unless you want to lie about a member of #a2council

No posting without a leading comment that provides proper context. Unless that context is that you hate #a2council, then you don't need a summary.

Don't use emoji reactions to mock, unless the admins don't like the person being mocked. #a2council

All members must use their real name (not an alias), unless they're a disgraced former #a2council member. www.facebook.com/groups/17885...

No personal attacks against others, unless the mods don't like the victim of the attack.

No name-calling, unless it's to call someone a Taylor boot-licker. www.facebook.com/groups/17885...

No personal attacks or assuming the intent of others, unless the mods have become temporarily unable to see these violations because they're shitting on #a2council.

If the mods agree with you, you're also allowed to break rule 1 by misnaming people! www.facebook.com/groups/17885...

No all caps, unless the admins agree with you.

REMINDER: it is Inappropriate and Offensive to call Donald Trump a fascist, but perfectly cogent to call Ann Arbor's mayor a fascist.

Not allowed: Posting memes Allowed: Posting images that are pixel-for-pixel identical to a meme if a moderator has declared them to Not Be a Meme™
