Look Who's Defending Statutory Rape!

Today's moderator shenanigans come from wally, someone who we'll be seeing in many, many future installments. As a veteran mod and the face of the moderators on board 261, wally helps make sure the boards are cleaned of all offensive material that happens to not be his own. From derailing topics to derping it up (the gamefaqs-friendly way to call someone a retard), wally has gained a well-deserved reputation for adding nothing of value to the topic by sinking into tirades and insults that even his traditional supporters regard as below troll-level quality.

Recently wally had the chance to speak his mind on statutory rape and how sometimes it's not really a big deal:

If somebody has more than reasonably [sic] cause to think somebody is over 21, and there is no evidence of coercion or force, it would be a cold day in hell before I'd vote to convict if I sat on a jury.

Setting aside the liberal argument that having someone show you an ID is racist, wally's argument is hard to defend. If you're an adult and you're inclined to sleep around with someone you've just met, but are a little fuzzy on the details (like how old she is and what her name is), the primary responsibility lies with you, the adult.

But wally wasn't done, and continued to stumble through his position for a few more pages. At some point he must have realized this argument wasn't looking good for him, because soon enough the mod who swore he never ever moderates the politics board was threatening his critics not to continue their arguments:

Also, I'll go ahead and suggest that you don't bump this topic again, if it dies again.

The elapsed time between the "bump" and its earlier post that would merit a moderation from wally? About 8 hours. The topic was not two days old before wally wanted to bury it and berated the topic creator for his "obnoxious-ass habit" of responding to him too late for his liking. It's almost as if there isn't already a clear distinction between active topics and archived ones, and the active topic list is just something there for you to look at and admire from a distance once a moderator deems the discussion is over. TC was supposed to read wally's mind and know his topic was under a de facto lock.

If you want to know why the bar's set so low on the politics board, look no further than wally - a guy who apparently thinks it's his job to moderate anything above the bar.
