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.
So why was GH banned? - Page 3

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. Holy condescending batman | ||

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. | ||

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. 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 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. | ||
