People have been removed for a lot less than describing oppressed minority groups as "repulsive."

I wasn't defending him. I just said he was crazy maybe that's why he hasn't been banned.

See, the buzz is that apologies go all the way back to The Crusades and maintain strong links to key Hashashin figures from which the not-so-gold-star Khan family are descended.

That they can take the time to casually "educate" this pathetic shithead, something that has proven ineffective in however many years he has been allowed to voice his prejudiced opinions in this forum.

Also how cool is it to see no one else caring because they as well have no real understanding or know what it feels like to be persecuted and relentlessly attacked by people who share his apalling views which are stuck in the middle ages.
But hey, "he's just the funny conspiracy guy so we'll keep him around. He'll provide us with endless entertainment with his dumb shitty posts, that he expresses hurtful and aggressive opinions is totally fine because it isn't about me".
For the record all three mods want to ban him. I do have a personal stake in some of the things he says but after so long I've gotten used to it I guess. But what he's saying is not OK and I agree with you that he should be banned.

You think he should be banned?

matter of fact lari is not alone with this.

I simply had given up to "whine" about toc being here because nothing ever happened.
We'll whine another round, the admins have been asked to ban him.


lol I see, reprise already covered that. good morning, netphoria!

I get what you mean. But in actuality you are stripping his repeated offenses of any responsibility and dumping the onus back on me for not ignoring him.

And guess what, no we should not ever get used to abuse, which hate speech is.
The internet should not be a safe harbour for people to wage their own personal vendettas against minorities who still suffer daily and go through hell just trying to be treated with the least amount of basic human decency.
Granting protection to people who share these views and label entire groups of people as "repulsive", means the forum as a whole supports those views and finds that attitude acceptable.

I get that.

But I come here for people I can't find anywhere else in my life, to engage with them and find out about them.

If banning people from this forum meant that they ceased to exist or stopped having the opinions we find so abhorrent, that would be something.

But banning them from netpho doesn't do that - it just makes netpho another safe space. Which could be fantastic, if that's what people want.

I don't come here for that, personally - I have other safe spaces and netpho is more like an illegal dogfighting ring, to me. So every time the range of opinions gets narrowed here, I think it is a loss. I think it's a loss when anyone leaves.

Every single person I know in real life was surprised by the Trump victory. Part of the reason I wasn't surprised was reading the threads here, and seeing how genuine people were, in their support of him.

I dunno, I prefer to know what people think. Even if I find what they think hurtful. It sort of prepares me for the shitshow that is my life.

Maybe there was hesitance to ban him in the past because all he did was post creepy conspiracy theories that we could all laugh off? The trans/homophobic shit only seems to be cropping up just now, or maybe I haven't been paying attention.

10 years, maybe even 5 years ago, I would've agreed with this. But life is too short to suffer the fool.

of all the people that have been banned this year (that process was not fun I promise) this one definitely deserves it most.

I dunno. I think nearly everybody here has traded insults with me. I guess maybe I feel this way because I'm another fool who is being walked to the guillotine during The Great Cleansing of 2017, of the Netphorian Temple of Agreement.

You know what would be a radical change at Netphoria, is like democracy. Determining the swing of the ban hammer via a poll.

It's kinda weird that the whole place is basically policed by a handful of people who are approached by lobbyists behind the scenes.

It all feels a bit dirty and American

Things have just been way off-kilter since he was made super-mod earlier in the year.

I think if we were to have a poll: "Keep TOC or Lose LaBelle" we all know how that would pan out.

I guess the truth for me is that I know a hundred people like Labelle and only one like TOC, and I don't come here specifically to read anything that Labelle writes.

I'm sorry if that sounds shitty.

Probably because she writes one liners like this, and then exits the thread. It's the old Eulogy MO.

*Obvious statement that nobody is questioning*
*Ugh I can't even*
*I'm outta here*
