But, you do not have the right to abuse and threaten other users here. You also do not have the right to incite violence. Whether that be upon other users here or people at large. You can call people names all you want, even though you shouldn't (You should attack the argument, not the user/person), but you can.
However, telling someone to straight up kill themselves will not be tolerated as that was the original rule when I joined the mods ranks. Attack the argument, not the person. I'm not going to tolerate that shit and you will be temp banned. Other mods can chime in or PM me about it if they agree or disagree.
We are supposed to be a community here who help each other spread and seek truth. The only people I can see doing this type of negativity here are nefarious forces that are against those of us who wish for a better future. If you see comments like these, report them. I'm not talking about name calling... I'm talking about straight up calls to violence and abuse of other users here.
You could have just dmed TallestSkil
I did once a little while ago. He felt justified inviting others to kill themselves since, in a classical liberal sense, it is not illegal to say such things. Since he had already been banned permanently before, and then re-instated after about 2 years per written request of another user, I decided not to ban and to go with his whole classical liberal reasoning, but warned him he will probably eventually be banned again if he keeps it up.
He such a consistent dickwad, i really thought he was a bot.
Based on my interactions with him, which would go quite far in length, I don't think he was a bot because he would, on rare occasions, use an apropos literary quote. He's a autist, I think, that can't quite grasp how others can possible think differently.
He's actually one of the most sophisticated minds I've met on win(This is a new account, I purged my old one). Anything he says he can back up with an army of sources, from state records to books from a few centuries ago.
I once saw him link a Spanish book from the 15th or 16th century that talked about a head Jewish rabbi telling the Spanish Jews to infiltrate Christian society by converting and taking over influential positions.
His ability to back up literally everything he says is remarkable. You'll rarely find someone else who does that here, and as far as I know, I've found no one who does it to the degree that he does. If only he wasn't so depressive and hostile to anyone he disagrees with.
Yea, I just went through pages of the mod queue and that's literally all that user would post. Damn near contributing nothing, or if they did, they would end it with that bullshit. Really not sure Clems allowed that here or why they looked the other way. I have no idea who that mod is, tbh. I trust Axo, but, yea... Not looking too good on Clems part.
In my experience here most users have been demanding free speech and zero censorship of the mods here, contrary to their experience on reddit. So I only banned outright trolls and obvious spammers - users who only come here because they hate this website and all it's users for whatever reason (they are very easy to spot), and users who just spam self promotion or bots etc. All other discussion I permitted if it didn't seem illegal.
I personally find it a bit strange that users are all of a sudden happy for Tallestskill to be banned for his comments when they are such big proponents of free speech and anti-censorship. You will note that you are talking to a handshake account - it's likely one of the trolls who returns here time and again, like the "topMinds" or "Conspiritard" crowd.
I didn't ban him originally
Banne Erotique?
I'm not his father. I'm not about to sit him down and explain to him why he cannot go around acting like a monkey flinging shit everywhere getting it on everyone and himself. Plus, Clem already said he was banned and warned before. I didn't perma ban him, it was a temp ban.
