I may see a mod making a bogus account simply so they might infract it to earn factors. Especially posts just like the one we’re discussing right here. The posts appeared harmless sufficient, however the mods determined to go after this new man with a permaban as a result of he had particular questions, and in his thoughts he wasn’t seeking to have a relatively unfocused thread on magic in Ars Magica as a common topic.

I’m disinclined to attribute that a lot deliberate effort to it. I’ve to confess I believe that individual account was permabanned not only for the scattershot posting model however for the poor, for lack of a greater phrase, articulacy in it.

Reading these posts actually did remind me of the English utilized in spam or phishing messages, composed both by a bot or by somebody actually younger or with non-native talking abilities; if it was mixed with a suspicious origin IP, the mods may simply have determined to err on the aspect of safety and given a superficial excuse to forestall questions.

You’re may very well be proper. However, in different boards I’ve seen customers put up recurrently in the same method, and so they weren’t spammers. They simply had issue articulating themselves whether or not or not it’s as a result of they have been “on the spectrum” or another issue the poster had.

If it’s as a result of TBP mods making an attempt to develop a model, as Armchair Gamer advised, then I discover it unhappy that TBP is making an attempt to be elitist in the way it treats its viewers members who might have points speaking. TBP going “Ew, we don’t want your kind here” to a nerd with poor communication talents could be the precise reverse of how a geek/nerd neighborhood ought to act.

From the 30 day ban of Atrox:

If there is a Nazi on the desk and 10 different folks sitting there speaking to him, you bought a desk with 11 Nazis.

I keep in mind when Russell Brand interviewed a white energy man on his TV present, with the intent to listen to him out and attempt to persuade him to alter his thoughts about some subjects. His try appeared real, and I assumed he did a very good job at it.

According to TBP, Russell Brand is himself a Nazi for speaking to the Nazi.

Daryl Davis resides proof that civil dialogue with bigots can work.

 By excluding them you solely serve to justify their beliefs and push them in direction of environments that assist their repugnant beliefs making a optimistic suggestions loop.

White folks love Daryl Davis, as a result of he places the onus on folks of shade to ending racism , quite than placing the onus on literal nazis to fuck off into the guts of the solar, the place they belong.

If folks like Davis need to exit and speak to nazis, that is their prerogative. But there isn’t any purpose why that ought to be the expectation. Hatemongers aren’t owed respect or tolerance. Not after they deny it to others.

When has Daryl Davis put the onus on minorities to speak with bigots?

When you speak about white folks loving Daryl Davis it appears you’re implying that Xanadu is white. Has Xanadu declared his race? If so, I’m not conscious of it. If not, can you by some means make this willpower?

I feel the purpose that Xanadu was making was the stupidity of utilizing guilt by affiliation TBP was making, and utilizing Daryl Davis, who clearly not a Nazi, for instance.

The cult mindset of TBP is evident by the instance they used the place if even a single particular person is profane (a Nazi on this case) everybody in that group can also be polluted and profane. It’s not an accident TBP didn’t use an argument alongside the traces of “If you have a table where most are identifiable Nazis, you probably have a table where there all Nazis.” That’s additionally not essentially true – although I’d grant it’d be very, very seemingly – however the level is to implement a cult mindset.

TSA, you’re speaking to folks right here that TBP would most likely take into account profane. If you utilize different identities at TBP you higher hope they don’t join them. Or do you suppose you’re taking part in the function of a Daryl Davis?
