I don't know, he just overestimated sarcasm on internet; it's hard to know if people are saying something substantial or are just trolling, and underestimated how touchy people get with those RIP things.
I think it is indeed a bit sad that Paul Walker's death gets a zillion time more attention than the death of most great scientists, most great artists, most great political figures. The fact that it does compare with Mandela's in terms of repercussion and media coverage is just sad for what it says about our society.
Now, I guess when you want to say something controversial or elaborate in one of those RIP things, you better explain yourself carefully rather than assume people will make an effort to understand that you are not just being an ass.

There should be a list of the "best 1st comment bans" that arent ads. Would be glorious.

Prince_Stranger was just temp banned for 2 days by KadaverBB.
That account was created on 2010-11-28 14:08:39 and had 534 posts.
Reason: When a moderator warns you for something you should probably stop doing that thing.Editing out a warning and adding in even more sheeps is also not a smart move.
Ignoring a warning doesn't surprise me, but that's not just ignoring a warning, it is being outright defiant.

Anyways, I see one ban already, and I'm thinking another three on the way.

There are plenty of accomplished people who tune in to the most inane shit in their free time. People who constantly rail about pop culture are just looking for an excuse to stroke their ego and look down on others.

And most of the people who have great accomplishments aren't exactly great people either
On a lighter note I'm surprised JD vs Scarlett didn't result in more bans
