In the end what decides if you are banned or not is not your posts. For example, LegalLord, xDaunt, and Danglers all deserve a ban more. All three are self-admitted trolls that just post to get enjoyment out of baiting regular or new posters in becoming annoyed by them. And then they prostrate themselves in front of the mods, and the mods take their side. The more drama is going on, the more they enjoy it. And when they succeed, they are all over the The Automated Ban List thread to brag about their 'achievements'. I think I argued with GH. But to me he was just a one-issue Trump apologist that other people thought was 'black' because he thought there was racism in the US. He was boring. All of this is wrong. | ||

So If you want to make him look like an idiot, just post them and the mods will be happy, but they will give you are 2 day ban just because they have to. Yeah no, lets not go down this road. I can promise you mods won't be secretly happy. This is not TsundereLiquid. | ||

Eh, to be fair xdaunt should be banned. Remember when he threatened to not shoot all the TL staff members? And since GH seems to be able to PM, if he want me to post the PM's he can just PM me to agree to post them if he wants to. That is, if he can PM without being a condescending person. I don't mind. I don't have any vested interest in appearing to be a pleasant person. | ||

I'm not saying danglars, xdaunt etc. aren't insane and ridiculous, but GH has openly admitted trying to antagonize the mods on more than one occasion so its fair to say its not surprising that this happened. If you break the 'don't be a douchebag' rule too many times then yeah, it might look like an unfair ban, but it probably isn't. | ||

Being less deserving of a ban isn't necessarily the same thing as undeserving. But which if any of them that applies to isn't really a topic for this thread. | ||

aka tribalism if it had been aimed at the political opinions they have and the people advocating them, i think their opinion of his banning would be quite different note i said SOME ok not ALL whether you enjoyed it or not it very clearly went right up to the line TL has instituted and not uncommonly went over it | ||

Pretty much everything you post is false or insipid. You are the poster child for why the US Politics thread is a waste of time. | ||

I didn't say Danglars had stayed out of his own volition. I'm not totally clear on xDaunt but I do believe there were at least periods of time where he was unbanned from both the site and the thread and stayed out anyway. (Perhaps just because he got bored or whatever, but still.) The point that neither of them spill out into the rest of the forum in the same way as GreenHorizons stands. GH demonstrated that a mere politics-thread ban was insufficient containment. | ||

GH and I agreed on far more than we disagreed on political. He was unapologetic asshole who treated people like shit. Its not complicated. The guy was a condescending jerk more often than not. | ||

It seemed to me like a judgement on some people arguing against the GH ban, not a judgement on all or some people on GH's side of politics. (Possibly you weren't trying to contradict DeepElemBlues and I've just mis-interpreted the target of the first sentence.) | ||

The guy was a condescending jerk more often than not. i didn't even refer to people who do not disagree with the ban like yourself your post exemplifies the sisyphean effort the staff undertakes here. you lead off with calling what i said deeply stupid based on a misunderstanding of what i said. you later say "it's not complicated" which is an implied insult to my intelligence, more subtly implied than "this is deeply stupid" at least. it's all silly head-butting with no productive purpose i sympathize with that effort because of its sisyphean nature, even though i largely agree with opisska's take. some of the things some of the staff say in response to criticism, the tone and the language used would result in a warning or a ban if directed at them by a regular member, or directed by a regular member at other regular members. the baiting, the implied (or direct) threats, the condescension. i don't think that's necessary or appropriate, i think it's a bad look, and it's the main reason i rarely post here and have rarely posted here for years. who knows what might set off some seeker shitpost directed at you that you cant object to because that just gets you marked i don't want to root about in the rabbit holes i just jumped down though so that's it for my opinions of your post and of the way some of the staff talks sometimes | ||
