The ban reason states quite clearly what the priorities of TL moderation is and it is the same reason why I am basically one step from hell here as well: more then anything, they are now about being respected. I fully expect someone to jump here and say it is not true and that it is just "explaining their motivations to them" or something along those lines, but there is now a mountain of evidence that "being respected" is the key priority of at least some members of the TL mod team.

It wasn't like that in the past and the shift was slow and thus never really perceived, until it just brought about a slow genocide of veterans who signed up years ago for a completely different forum.

After taking some time to try to learn some more about it, I also have the stance that this is an unfair ban.

You can't be sure because you don't have access to the pms he sent to mods and users who share his trait of being unable to walk away from fruitless arguments.

People would be better off if they could just drop unproductive disagreements. Performance hysteria is not productive under all conditions
The unrealistic sound of these propositions is indicative, not of their utopian character, but of the strength of the forces which prevent their realization.

This is a forum. Who is to say whether a disagreement is productive or not? For users like us who have no power, performance is all we have and is everything.

It’s not hard to tell whether a disagreement is productive. Is this your sixth PM reformulating a question or demanding an answer to a person who has only sent you one?

Can talking to people randomly on teh interwebz be consider productive? I don't know, I'm not you or GH. Perhaps GH consider that productive. I guess you don't. All I know is that my PMs with GH was greatly amusing to me. It was a productive use of that short period of time. Mostly it showed to me how GH perceives himself. He genuinely thinks he is a lot smarter and wiser than he really is.

yes I do because he sent them to me

and anyone who wants to know GH's side of things then i guess you could just PM him yourself if he's still around (he probably is).


edit: he tells me that banned users can only pm staff, so I guess that technically, you can't.

You haven't seen how condescending and aloof he conducts himself in his PM. He truly has no idea. In his PMs, he thinks he is cleverly manipulating you whilst being condescending towards you. A very strange debating technique, or his attempt to reach out to me, who can say. Lets just say he didn't exactly well endear himself towards me, when it was himself that decided to PM me. *shrugs* Whilst I can joke and say I am a shitposter. Hey if he ever comes back he will forever hound me. Such is life.

I can confirm that GH was insufferable in his PMs. To the point where I told him to stop PMing me. He failed that simple request a few times too.

He would also become obsessed with specific posters and having them admit they were wrong. I dealt with that as well. But even if they did admit a mistake, it was not enough. You had to not only admit you were wrong, but you allowed yourself to be deceived by your neoliberal bias. And even then he would assume you were not sincere.

I get that folks don’t think a forum vet should be banned over a PM disagreement. But some people don’t respect boundaries or can’t read the room. They fight and engage until they get what they want, even if the person on the other side specifically asks to be left alone. GH was one of those people. And that is one of the many reasons he wanted to be able to moderate his own politics blog.

wanna post such a PM chain then?

Right now what I am being presented with is people making claims about him (not just the people in this thread), and then him defending himself by sending me the actual PM chains, which generally seem to make him look like the more reasonable person, at least in my opinion.

He messaged me after your post with a PM chain between him and you, and between the two of you, he looked much more civil. Since it's private, I am not posting it. But if you say it's cool, I'll post it and then other users can decide for themselves who's tone and behavior is more inappropriate.

I generally don't make claims about things I have no clue about. I thought I made myself pretty clear. Do you know what an opinion is?

People have described events that took place over years and through numerous discussions. And afternoon hearing that, you requested to read one of these exchanges to assess if the feels expressed in this thread are justified.

I can understand wanting to have a better understanding. But demanding recipients is essentially saying you don’t believe us. Or you suspect our feelings about the exchanges were not justified

So you're saying that a guy who was recently permanently banned is messaging you, the poster who has shown the most initiative in questioning his ban, evidence that casts him in a positive light?

Color me surprised.
