tbh I can't remotely fathom why he has continued to post here
― rob, Monday, 9 October 2023 bookmarkflaglink
Really needs to be said. Just don't get it. Over the last year he has every now and then reappeared to mostly snipe at posters he dislikes. No other contribution of any sort, that I could see. He was only banned because he just couldn't step away from the events currently unfolding.

Why hasn't he been permanently permanently banned yet?
― Christine Green Leafy Dragon Indigo, Monday, 9 October 2023 21:26 (eleven months ago) link
The short answer is "we don't spend much time thinking about it." By week 3 of a one month ban, I've almost completely forgotten that the recipient even exists. It's usually week 5 or 6 before I remember to lift the ban unless someone reminds me. The ban-ee tends to lay low for a while until they lose control of themselves and get back on their bullshit, followed by another ban. Enough tempbans turn into a perma perma. I can't remember if VHS has had more than one ban before this one.

Can never stop the controversy and hateful dialogue on that thread
― H.P, Tuesday, 10 October 2023 00:59 (eleven months ago) link
That was removed at my request. I made an innocuous joke in connection to something Thermo posted--not even thinking about world events--and asked WmC to remove it. I wasn't clear, and he removed Thermo's post too--my fault.

Sorry, I thought someone just posted a spoiler by accident! To clarify, immaculate grid is not filled with controversy or hateful dialogue

My joke involved Rusty Staub...really, it was pretty mild.

I was personally sick of him dumping tweet after tweet in serious threads and just stirring constantly. Told him he was being annoying last week as well!

xpost wager it was the way he approached discussion in the antisemitism and Israel threads (not that what he was saying was wrong, per se, but....dude was racking up complaints in both threads)
― real warm grandpa (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 25 October 2023 18:42 (eleven months ago) link
Oh damn, I just wrote a huge post that was primarily for his benefit. I sure as shit hope he reads it when he comes back!
― peace, man, Wednesday, 25 October 2023 18:44 (eleven months ago) link
I read it peace, man - thanks! I had absolutely no idea that it came across like that. I will do some c+p of the actual tweet as necessary and see how we go

As for this. I would appreciate if you kept this stuff to yourself instead of personally telling. You are a smart person, and from my reactions I'm sure you can tell what I think of it.

would you not rather know when you're being annoying

I held off FPing beamish13 for a while as it seemed they'd finally moved past their worst tendencies. like frequently talking about how it was ridiculous how people weren't in the streets protesting when they personally protested by leaving the country entirely. which is fine, I don't judge anybody for doing that, but ridiculous to then criticize the public reaction in the country you just left when you yourself didn't do it.
had a bad taste in mouth from stoking the flames of rhetoric when RBG died, coming into a thread where most of us were in despair and just needlessly taking smug potshots at RBG's legacy, like that was what any of us cared about as opposed dto knowing Roe v Wade was going to fall very, very soon and being freaked out.
but this last go round they'd mostly avoided it and then had to go the fatphobic route in the end.

I so rarely FP - I feel like I should confess to the department shrink or something. Yes, we know you started the Lonelady thread but we're trying to keep things together from arsonists.

beamish's message really resonated, so they were FP'd (Fabry–Pérot'd)

Beamish would've always have been banned even before the offending post. Their posts were v much out of step with what's going on in the US pol thread.
