It was a poster called neptunusfisk who linked the letter written by Naniwa's estranged wife who accused him of being physically abusive and a horrible father. I did not link that!

2 other posters have been very negative towards Naniwa. One, wrote 2 posts basically concluding that he is a bad person. His name is Bretfart.

One suggested he(Naniwa) is a racist and hates Jews. That poster's name is Aringadingding.

Why have I become the official Naniwa basher?

Wow - I have been out of the scene for years and didn't even realize Naniwa was still someone anyone paid attention to. As to the first quote, I am less than impressed with the "Skilberators" and "Aderpts" whine. He could have at least come up with something more creative to get banned over I feel.

Yes there is plenty of thinly veiled and occasionally blatant neo-nazi/white supremacists stuff going on in the US politics thread.


That's fucking heinous shit that should just be banned outright.


He forgot xDaunt telling black people like myself to "get on a boat back to Africa"

Not sure whats worse, allowing the racism or thinking that TL has a zero-tolerance policy towards racism, I lean toward the latter.

It’s hugely insensitive at best but he is making an ad absurdum. He really isn’t saying you should go back anywhere unless you want to ignore the rethorical figure altogether. His argument is that in his eyes your definition is absurd just as much as it would be nonsense to tell you to go back to Africa.

Again, that’s of extremely poor taste but still.


That's not what he said though.

But it is. The whole sentence is based on the assumption that your position is undefensible and doesn’t make sense. I mean that’s how i understand it..

I think you're reading something that simply isn't there, but it would be racist anyway. We can continue in feedback if you want.

It's a miracle it's only a temp ban, he's surviving so much longer here than on r/starcraft

Yep, he streams every now and then. I remember when I met him in Cologne in, I think, 2013 or 14? Gumba was there, too. I was surprised to find out he was smoking but since I smoked back then as well, I didn't care too much.

Apart from not knowing about the existence of aligulac, he misquoted things too. Should've been accusing Elentos of being a liar, not me.

I'm a little late to the party, but perhaps it should be discussed as to whether the politics thread needs a new start. I don't want to spend a lot of time assigning blame. Demographics being what they are, you would expect certain views to rise to the top, My experience, however, has been that anyone who expresses a viewpoint to the right of Joe Biden is berated and harangued endlessly and called a sorts of vile names at the drop of a hat. Why would any reasonable person come in to offer their opinion then? The only people that will be left are the extremely disagreeable people, and their behavior is used to further justify the belligerent atmosphere. It's quite a microcosm of politics.

A thread should be used to exchange ideas and have some sort of meeting of minds, not for backpats and target dummy practice.

One idea might be to have a Political News thread and another thread geared more towards political/philosophical principles.

Your comment is particularly humorous in the context of the discussion taking place in the thread where people actively discuss the fate of the US politics thread. Perhaps you ought start there, in Website Feedback.
