The problem is that NeMeSiS was never respectful about anything at all.
You have to admit it's something everyone here could be better at. It's an internet message board and by nature we're very quick to assume the other person is totally wrong and grossly inexperienced with the opinion we present.
Sometimes we're all too caustic. Unfortunately, the reverse held true for Nemesis3. Sometimes he was not derisive of others opinions. But the standard expected when I'd read his post was one of negativity and assertion that he was right no matter what subject was being discussed.

NeMeSiS3 was just banned by p4NDemik.
That account was created on 2012-02-03 15:33:26 and had 2969 posts.
Reason: Calling the entire realm of Christian faiths a cult is just the straw that broke the camels back. The mods are tired of seeing your user name in the title of reported posts. Other posters are frustrated. I can only assume you're tired of hearing from us as well.
After 23 moderator actions in less than a year and countless borderline posts its time for all parties involved to admit you are not compatible with the environment we are trying to cultivate here. Don't get me wrong though, if this was a break-up, the rationale would be "Its not us, its you."
Finally, all hail p4NDemik! I hated this guy with a burning passion, he always seemed to clog general with useless waste.
NeMeSiS3 seemed to misinterpret roughly 50% of the posts he replied to. I recall him once responding to sam!zdat while under the impression he was a right-winger.

Holy.... THAT caught me off-guard. O_O
Will be brutally frank: I never liked him, and it wasn't entirely because he and I disagree on everything. He had to always get the last word in, constantly felt the need to forcefully stamp his heavy bias on everything political, religious, and philosophical, and never appeared to hold back his derogatory demeanor. 'Least he took the care to write in complete sentences and use correct grammar.
P4's dropped a watery nuke on General with this ban. There will be fewer flames to douse in the future.

Lolwut?! X-D
Seems my unspoken conclusions of him were exactly what everyone else was thinking too. I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking this.

Wow, I reported that one too!
And it wasn't that I thought that one post was terrible; it's that I thought everything he was posting was a veiled insult. So I just picked the one that seemed the most obvious.
I really went back and forth on reporting it too.

Can't say I'm surprised he's gone.

yes, it's true, the democrats are better at bribery, the republicans are better at ideology Can we begin to ban really stupid posts? http://www.cnn.com/2012/11/08/opinion/marshall-gop/index.htmlOne article but pretty much everyone on Earth disagrees with your riidiculous assertion that the Republicans have better ideologies
I think his reaction to interpreting him as a right-winger is stranger than the misinterpretation itself though.

LOL yeah that was hilarious
I think I confused him because I wasn't going 'herp derp opiate of the masses'

Complaining about Kwark is the road to permabanville.

He was obviously posting on borrowed time. He's one of the few people who stick in my mind as a bad poster and I don't even visit the general forum that often. I forgot if it was in the Diablo or Sports and Games forum, but I seem to remember him being an angry poster even when discussing more lighthearted material.

I will say this for NeMeSiS3, he did take my ridicule in stride.
On two separate occasions, I treated him pretty poorly because I thought he was taking a ridiculous stance and the little devil on my shoulder suggested that I should not only correct him but mock him in the process. That's usually a formula for ensuring that whoever you're disagreeing with never comes around to your view of things. But twice, NeMeSiS not only admitted that he was probably a little off base, he kept his good humor as well.
Now I can't condone his general conduct, which did tend toward caustic asshattery, but I can say that he wasn't entirely devoid of admirable qualities!
That's my eulogy.

RIP Nemesis, may you find more productive things to do with your free time, maybe read a book, write an essay, who knows what the future may bring.

He and I agreed on a few things, the post Pandemic referred to in the ban is similar to ones I've made, albeit without the awful posting history and mod history on my part.

Congrats on pulling a Zizek-esque troll. Your statement reminded me of the times when Zizek made some of his viewers think he was supporting fascism.

That might be why I associated sam!zdat with right wing in my head, remembering half the posts.
And then he told me Arendt's The Human Condition was one of his favorite book and I kinda bugged out.

my mission here has obviously been successful

interesting. someone was banned for calling religions a cult. need time to contemplate this.

Holy shit. I've had some pretty heated discussions with him before so I can't say I'm too surprised.

Reason: You got a pass on the first comment because it's obviously a cult. That's not even debatable. Despite the cultist calling for your blood I ignored his protests and let your post stand. However you then decided to pursue the argument and try to defend yourself in the topic, even though you got no moderator action for the original comment. You have previous temp bans for starting off topic religion arguments, keep doing it and they'll just get longer.
Also you don't get any points for "But, I'm not going to have a theological debate in the election thread.". Don't say you're not going to do it, don't do it. I banned the guy for doing off topic insulting your religion and I'm getting flak for it? Maybe get thicker skin, it's not like you don't worship Jesus, that makes you cultists.

Kontroversial KwarK at it again!  I'd probably be offended if I didn't convert to agnosticism o_o I'll thank whatever diety that may possibly exist for that!
