Where's your compassion? my dude strutted his way down the catwalk into Oblivion and you're making jokes at his expense
He will have a word with Kitler. Because for Schrodinger, this is a Catastrophe and he will thus whisker away.Where's your compassion? my dude strutted his way down the catwalk into Oblivion and you're making jokes at his expense
You seem awfully intent on dancing on his corpse
I cannot confirm or deny that statement.
Schrödinger's cat
is a bit harsh. I don't think the intention of his post was to somehow condone what happened on January 6th but rather just to point out the fact that from the British point of view US independence movement was seen as an insurrection and that history is written by the victors. One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter as they say. In China the CCP legacy is that of revolutionary heroes because they won but they would've been labelled terrorists had they lost.
Should also be understood that things were not stabilized yet throughout 2018. Daily troll bombs from Reset zealots made it challenging to rebuild. Some people were pure scumlords, and some other people were cool and supportive. This tended to correspond to particular political alignments.
Schrodinger was one of my favorite posters and I don't understand why he was banned. It was true what he said. It wasn't supporting 1/6 or conflating it.I think the perm for
Some of these hard-core Trump supporters and conspiracy theorists are definitely a lost cause, but maybe some of the more moderate members that generally make good contributions could do with like a one month ban to cool off, telling them to up their game a bit when they come back.
Seconded. Schrodinger's cat is a smart guy and one bad post shouldn't result in a perm. If I can cash in my imaginary free from perm card it would be him.

locked the thread, I just wish there was a middle ground. You can dunk on the content a website produces without making personal insults about staff appearance, health concerns and brining in their loved ones. I still think their is value in discussing their content for both lapsed and current fans, especially with their GOTY content rolling out. It just requires us to act with a modicum of tact.
Nothing about those replies would cause me to bail on the thread lol.
Didn't Crypto get another chance and then continued in Off-Topic?
I believe so. I'd love to go to bat for him but he had multiple chances from what I saw. Damn shame.
I don''t know about batting for him. He posted a lot of dubiously sourced agenda-driven topics in Politics. He sure made a lot of threads but I'd like to see how Politics fares without such inundation.
I think overall he was an alright guy but politics was taking him down an overtly negative path. I'd like to see him back because he was a big rlm fan and I miss his discussion there.
It's crazy how people are sacrificing they 10 year account for something dumb as politics.

for what it's worth (and I've said this before) SC has been one of the more consistent users in advocating non-violence in times of turmoil, so his inelegant comparison probably didn't mean to actually condone violence. He does have a problem with non-constructive overly antagonizing verbiage, but that's a different matter.
I think so. A month off would have been a fair interrim step before perm in my opinion, that's all.
What was the analogy? His particular ban didn't have a post linked. All I saw was that he didn't seem to be "outraged enough" about 1/6, and he was of the opinion that the "summer of love" is/was worse. If he said something particularly egregious that I missed, I could stand corrected.
Ha. Yes, that he does.
For something that'll be forgotten and people carrying on with their lives like nothing happened.
If there was some overtly racist shit that I missed, then sure, I'll stand corrected. I assumed it was for arguing about 1/6, but maybe that was not the case.
Politics is a mighty addiction.
No, I honestly tried to give you some good faith feedback on a community I cared a lot about. I posted here a ton during the exodus and in the days after to try to deter as many people as I could from leaving and to keep this place alive. I thought we had a great opportunity to turn around a legendary gaming site and I bought in on the vision you laid out for us. I've made a greater effort into creating OTs to that end and put a lot of effort into them.

eloquently conveyed the right message.

But I guess I'll just take that permaban now instead.
Cybrwzrd posted straight up white supremacist racial IQ nonsense though. The forum is better off without that kind of garbage.
The thing about SC he doesn't advocate for violence. For example, when Trump pardoned the military contractors he was firmly against that.
I also think politics are taking people down the wrong path. I don't want this site to become another REEE but I also don't want it to become another QANON. I'll poke fun at both sides despite me being a conservative.
Not going to happen. Obviously there's grudges going on right nowLet's be more like the reggae thread in 2021
