WTF is going on. They removed my ban 2 days ago.
I was able to make a few comments on reddit this morning, including:
I've never ONCE IN MY LIFE called for violence or promoted violence. It's antithetical to my very being.
And almost immediately I was banned for "violent content."
This time it says "the ban will not be lifted."
WHAT??
Exactly.
The shin bruising can be easily covered, not so much a face bruising which they did on the first ban with the articles and all of that. So now when someone asks "Hey, why was AP banned and articles written about him calling him all kinds of awful names, that's not right" the answer can be "well we took him back and he did it again right away so he's gone for good this time." A CYA that will probably suffice for the vast majority.
It's an insidious perception manipulation.
