Seeker did you consider giving JimmicC and GH thread bans instead of normal ones? If yes, can you explain your reasoning behind choosing the latter?

I do not wish to speak for Seeker but I assume it is because of an earlier comment by mods about site banning people who primarily post in the USPOL thread and thread banning people who post more across the forums.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

Oh nevermind, they got just 2 day bans. For some reason I thought it was 2 weeks.

Agreed. Just had an exchange with him that fits the characterisation.

Can someone explain the whole JimmiC vs GH thing to me?

I may be wrong but it seems like JimmiC just attacked GH out of the blue. And then a giant shit-storm of back and forths took place afterwards. What was JimmiC's main point? What was GH's main point?

JimmiC had begun actively posting in the politics thread a number of months ago and took the position that centrism was laudable and that extremes were/are a part of the problem facing US politics. Naturally, GH took issue with that stance and went about his usual tack of basically berating the opposing party into backing down, and given JimmiC's history of getting all riled up by the posts of folks like JimmyJ, he was an ideal target. The recent kerfluffle started when JimmiC asked GH whether the plight of black Americans had improved by any measurable stat since the 60s.

With that in mind, I don't think there's really an answer to "who started it"; both were/are culpable to some extent.

Also, someone said JimmiC’s political views proved he was white, which got him real mad(he is not white). GHs constant condescension only added fuel to that fire.

Much like farvacola mentioned, it was about the change in treatment for black folks in the US and whether things improved since.

I'm not completely clear on it; at which point was the attack?
if it's at the point I'm thinking of the two of them were going at it for quite awhile before that I think. including a bunch of very poor quality arguing.
it seemed to me like an escalation born out of frustration at poor posting/arguing by the "other".
I vaguely recall gh makin some points that were just plain wrong, and demonstrated to be wrong, but he just kept shifting the goalposts or something.

The post about his political views proving he was white was in the middle and probably what pushed it over the edge. GH is impossible to make any headway with and takes any difficulty in his arguing as a need to retaliate against whoever hes argueing with. With the racial arguments that hes favored to it makes an almost intolerable atmosphere.

Hes the type of guy who doesn't like Wu tang clan.
A wise man will say that he knows nothing. We're gona party like its 2752 Hail Dark Brandon

GH sent me this link.

I'm not sure I see the attack.
is it the soapbox point?

prior to that looks to be a whole bunch of other bad arguing by gh (but not involving talking with JimmiC, just other people)

the point I was thinking was the attack was later on by a fair bit.

GH repeatedly said he wanted evidence that since the 60s the relative gap between black and white people in the US had closed. JC responded with arguments about how the experience for black Americans had improved in absolute terms, and ignored posters who attempted to point out the discrepancy.

I don't blame GH for getting irritated when JC wouldn't stop arguing against a point GH didn't make, and the "Uncle Tom" slur was totally over the line.

I know some points did address relative terms, not absolute (in fact even if not by intent). including some of the very early points.
gh ignored those as well.
but I don't recall how much there was of each in detail.

Please remove the conspiracy theorist from the thread, thank you. His posts have been reported.

Until he is removed, I will heartless mock him for implying Obama isn’t a US citizen.
