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.

Yeah no, lets not go down this road. I can promise you mods won't be secretly happy. This is not TsundereLiquid.

We are talking about people like Seeker, BBKadaver, BigFan and tofucake. Not about more mature people like Jibba or StealthBlue, WaxAngel or Liquid'Drone (he is actually my biggest fan).

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.

Where can I find the rule that says you can't post the pms? I don't see it in the ten commandments. Is it just common decency?

Apparently he can only PM staff.

Haha shit yeah I do remember that.
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.

The main thing which makes xDaunt, Danglars and LegalLord less deserving of a ban than GH in my opinion is that they have demonstrated some ability to keep it in their pants. xDaunt and LegalLord have stayed out of the main US politics thread of their own volition, and I don't recall any of them doing things like necroing two ancient threads to get their view out.

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.

Actually I beleive Danglars and xdaunt were both unbanned from the uspol thread recently. It wasn't out of their own volition. I remember checking a month ago and they were both still tempbanned then. xdaunt did stay away for a few months after the US Pol new rules, but couldn't resist and got promptly tempbanned.

what i've gathered from this thread is that some of the people who don't like GH being bant don't like it because they enjoyed his aggressive-aggressive ranting because it targeted opinions and people they disagree with

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.

This is deeply stupid. 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.

I don't think anything you've said here contradicts what DeepElemBlues wrote. 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.)

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
